could you imagine if it happened this pride month
happy Barely Keeping It Together Wednesday to all who celebrate
if you are a parent, or may become one, or you are otherwise likely to arrive in the situation of caring for a child while they eat, promise me this: if a child doesn't like a certain food or food group, you will ask them WHY. and specifically, you will pay attention to either confirming or ruling out "it makes my mouth itch" or "it makes my stomach hurt," both of which are medically important info that children may not provide unprompted. which i know because this PSA has been brought to you by "i spent my entire childhood and much of my early teens eating peas and lentils while wondering why everyone else liked the Violently Itchy Mouth Sensation so much, like were they a bunch of legume masochists or something, before i finally realized that Violently Itchy Mouth Sensation was in fact a sinister demon appearing only to me, and her true demonic name was: Legume Allergy"
at some point in your life you will be boiling fruit, water, sugar, and lemon juice in a pot to make a syrup or jam. the instructions will tell you to simmer for a certain amt of time. your timer will go off and you will look at the pot and go, "hm, this doesn't look thick enough. maybe i'll let it go for another 10 minutes." this is the devil speaking. it's only so liquid right now because it is at boiling point. it will thicken when it cools down. learn from the follies of my youth and do not let this happen to you
at some point in your life you will be making a sauce or a stew in which you need to add cornstarch to thicken it. and you will prepare a slurry of starch in cold water and think "this looks like way too little starch to thicken this amount of liquid." this is the devil speaking. cornstarch instantly polymerizes at 95°C and if you add too much it will turn into an impossibly thick goop.
at some point in your life you will be making some sort of cream based dessert that requires gelatin to thicken it. and you will soak some gelatin sheets in water and think "this is too few gelatin sheets for this amount of cream." this is the devil speaking. it will thicken in the fridge and if you add too much you will end up with milk jelly
at some point in your life you will be baking cookies. you will take the sheet out after twelve minutes as the recipe instructs and the cookies will still be glistening and soft. "these don't seem cooked enough," you will think to yourself, "i should place them back into the oven until their edges are nice and golden." this is the devil talking. this is how you get dry, overdone cookies. the cookies will continue to bake on the warm sheet for several more minutes and then harden up after sitting on a rack for a while. trust the process. trust the process.

"Vanderhorst had been under the influence of MDMA and three litres of vodka she had consumed on the night of the offence last September, her lawyer Michael Hill told the court."
three. liters.
i support women's wrongs
women are like diamonds: synthetically-produced women are not meaningfully different from naturally-formed women, and anyone trying to tell you otherwise is probably trying to justify keeping their women mines open

Saturn In The Navamsa Through The Houses / Signs
Imagine carrying three heavy suitcases with broken handles up ten flights of stairs.
Read for both your sign and house for the full picture.
This does apply generally, but pay EXTRA attention during Saturn returns or major Saturn periods as the lessons around this may become extremely obvious.
The best way I can describe Saturn in the Navamsa is this:
It stops being a mild insecurity and becomes a make-or-break life lesson. In the Navamsa it almost becomes unbearable.
That is Saturn.
Saturn in the 1st House / Saturn in Aries
This can feel like having to build yourself from scratch.
Confidence, identity, appearance, self-belief and independence may feel heavier than they do for other people.
There can be a feeling of having to constantly prove that you are capable of standing on your own.
In Saturn periods, this can become especially intense. The person may be forced to confront the way they see themselves, how much they trust themselves and whether they are living from self-respect or fear.
This placement can make someone extremely strong over time, but usually because life keeps making them carry themselves when nobody else does.
Saturn in the 2nd House / Saturn in Taurus
This can feel like constantly having to think about survival, money, food, family, speech and stability.
The person may become very aware of resources. What is secure? What is enough? What can be relied on?
There can be pressure around family responsibilities, saving money, providing for oneself or learning how to value oneself properly.
In Saturn periods, financial fears, family expectations or self-worth issues may become louder.
Over time, this can create someone who becomes very disciplined about money, food, beauty, possessions and what they allow into their life.
They do not take stability lightly because they had to build it. They may also feel a heavy obligation towards their lineage or background.
Saturn in the 3rd House / Saturn in Gemini
This can feel like life keeps testing your courage.
Speaking up, writing, communicating, posting, learning, taking initiative, dealing with siblings or handling everyday responsibilities can feel heavier than expected.
There can be a feeling of having to become brave through repetition.
This can also show up through sibling responsibility, being parentified, having to advocate for others or being pushed into roles where you carry the labour of communication.
In Saturn periods, this may become extremely literal. The person may be forced to speak, document, write, challenge, report, defend themselves or take on sibling/family obligations.
Over time, this placement can create someone who becomes extremely strong with words, evidence, persistence and self-advocacy.
They may start off doubting their voice, but eventually they become difficult to silence.
Saturn in the 4th House / Saturn in Cancer
This can feel like emotional safety was not handed to you.
Home, family, mother, belonging, privacy and inner peace can feel complicated.
The person may feel responsible for creating the stability that should have already existed.
There can be emotional heaviness around family, caretaking, property, roots or feeling like the emotional adult in the room.
In Saturn periods, home and family responsibilities may become unavoidable. The person may feel pressured into caretaking roles or forced to confront whether their home life is truly safe. This is someone who may feel a heavy obligation towards their mother.
Over time, this can create someone who becomes emotionally self-sufficient.
They learn to build peace because they know what it feels like to live without it.
Saturn in the 5th House / Saturn in Leo
This can feel like joy comes with pressure attached.
Creativity, romance, children, attention, performance and self-expression may feel serious.
The person may struggle to simply enjoy being seen.
There can be fear around visibility, fear around being judged or pressure around children and creative output.
There may be delays around children, pregnancy or becoming a parent. Some people become responsible for children long before they actually have children themselves.
In Saturn periods, the person may be forced to take their creative gifts seriously. Romance may require maturity. Children may bring responsibility. Visibility may come with pressure.
Over time, this can create someone with serious creative discipline.
They may not play casually, but when they commit to something, they can master it.
Saturn in the 6th House / Saturn in Virgo
This can feel like life keeps handing you problems.
Work, health, routines, debts, service, conflict, enemies and daily obligations can become heavy.
The person may feel like they are constantly fixing something.
There can be a strong sense of duty, but also exhaustion from being the person who has to handle the mess.
In Saturn periods, workplace issues, health routines, legal disputes, debts or daily responsibilities can become louder. Since the 6h does quite well with malefic planets this is someone who may become extremely disciplined and efficient with their routines over time.
Over time, this can create someone highly competent, organised and difficult to defeat.
Life trained them through repetition.
Annoying, but effective.
Saturn in the 7th House / Saturn in Libra
This can feel like relationships require maturity very early.
Partnership, marriage, contracts, clients, public dealings and other people become serious territory.
The person may not be able to romanticise partnership for long.
They become aware of responsibility, fairness, reciprocity and whether the other person can actually show up.
In Saturn periods, relationships may become make-or-break. Weak partnerships may collapse. Serious partnerships may demand structure.
Over time, this creates someone extremely selective.
They stop being impressed by chemistry alone.
They want consistency, fairness and someone who can carry their side of the agreement.
Saturn in the 8th House / Saturn in Scorpio
This can feel like life keeps dragging you into the deep end.
Trust, intimacy, shared money, secrets, trauma, inheritance, crisis, vulnerability and power dynamics can become heavy.
The person may feel like they cannot avoid uncomfortable truths.
They are often forced to understand what other people hide.
In Saturn periods, this can become intense. Shared resources, emotional dependency, betrayal, loss, intimacy or psychological transformation may become unavoidable.
Over time, this placement creates depth.
Not cute depth. Actual “I have seen things” depth.
They become difficult to manipulate because they have already looked behind the curtain.
Saturn in the 9th House / Saturn in Sagittarius
This can feel like beliefs have to be earned.
Religion, teachers, higher education, father figures, morality, culture, travel and life philosophy can feel heavy or disappointing. They may find teachers and those who are meant to provide guidance oppressive. They may experience an unbearable heaviness around the topic of religion and philosophy and higher education. These things could also be delayed.
They may also experience difficulty being approved by government institutions that are meant to support them when needed.
The person may not be able to blindly accept what they were taught.
There can be tension with religious systems, teachers or people who claim moral authority without living by it.
In Saturn periods, belief systems may be tested. The person may outgrow inherited teachings or be forced to build their own philosophy through experience.
Over time, this creates someone with hard-earned wisdom.
They do not believe something just because it sounds holy.
They need it to be true.
Saturn in the 10th House / Saturn in Capricorn
This can feel like success takes forever.
Career, reputation, authority, responsibility, public image and achievement may feel delayed or heavy.
The person may feel like they have to work harder than others to be recognised.
There can be pressure to become competent, respected and reliable.
In Saturn periods, career responsibilities can become intense. The person may be tested through bosses, institutions, reputation issues or public accountability.
Over time, this placement can create real mastery.
Not quick success.
Built success.
The type that comes from climbing the mountain with no lift and no snacks.
Saturn in the 11th House / Saturn in Aquarius
This can feel like finding your people takes time.
Friends, networks, communities, audiences, social media, gains and long-term dreams may feel delayed or complicated.
The person may feel outside the group even when surrounded by people.
There can be disappointment through friendships, communities or social belonging. They may experience delays around supports when needed and feel like they’re alone. Being in group environment may also feel like a heavy obligation rather than a place to network.
In Saturn periods, the person may become very aware of who is actually aligned with them and who is just noise.
Over time, this placement can create a smaller but stronger network.
They stop chasing popularity and start building real community.
Saturn in the 12th House / Saturn in Pisces
This can feel like carrying invisible weight.
Isolation, sleep, surrender, loss, foreign places, spirituality, the subconscious and hidden burdens may become heavy.
The person may go through periods where they feel removed from normal life.
There can be deep inner work that other people do not see.
In Saturn periods, this can bring withdrawal, spiritual testing, endings, solitude or the need to release control.
Over time, this placement creates quiet strength.
The person becomes strong in ways that are hard to explain because the work happened behind closed doors.
Saturn in the Navamsa often feels unfair while you are living it.
Only later do you realise it was building muscles you would not have developed any other way.
The "Sam held Frodo's hand but didn't kiss it" specification becomes way more funnier when you remember it's Frodo writing the book. It's Frodo Baggins wasting his paper and time and ink to mention that Sam didn't kiss his hand for some reason. He can't understand if he is vaguely mad, sad or confused about it, but he had to mention it. He had to specify. Why didn't Sam kiss his hand, really?
choosing to ignore my strangely symbolic dream
