"Not beating the ___ allegations" is such a 'now' turn of phrase, implying as it does a world where everyone's behavior is always on literal trial by a guilt-presuming judge and jury that consists of anyone who happens to be paying attention.

the worse climate disaster gets, the more you’ll see closet eugenicists start to advocate for letting people die. you need to be prepared to combat the ideology wherever you see it, because it’s only going to get worse and worse Read everything having to do with climate disaster critically. If the central argument underlying what’s being said is that the death of disabled and/or racialized people is inevitable, natural, or desirable– that’s a fascist.

they might be appear to be a garden variety republican or liberal or even a leftist at first, but know that if that argument is being made, their underlying ideology is one of supremacism, and given additional climate stress, they will become more blatant about it.

it’s been 6 years since I wrote this post, and as predicted, the eugenics movement has had enormous success since then.

since writing this, millions of people have died preventable deaths from a pandemic that much of the global north pretends doesn’t exist anymore.

access to healthcare is being revoked from increasing percentages of the population– removal of testing, accelerating vaccine prices, artificial shortages of medications (blamed on PWUD or disabled people’s “over-reliance”), insurance companies automating denials, increasing criminalization of health care concerning “sexed” traits and reproductive capacity (e.g. abortion, HRT, puberty blockers).

many places are beginning to criminalize wearing masks. doctors have even stopped wearing them. activists have even stopped wearing them.

anti-fatness is at its most blatant in years and most people have framed this acceleration of oppression as nothing more than a fashion cycle (“thin is back in!”), ableist slurs that had temporarily been deemed inappropriate by abled people are returning to common vernacular.

every climate disaster is quickly framed as people “deserving” it. every new pop science article that goes viral claims to have found the “cause” of the supposed phenomenon of the anonymous masses “degrading” their intelligence/IQ/cognitive abilities, and the solution presented is always Hard Work.

I need you all to pay attention to how this works.

Something I keep repeating over and over again.

You must cultivate your relationships.

It sounds silly. It sounds like something that should be common sense. But I feel like I have had to tell so many people that you need to give as well as be open and recieving.

Your relationships with the Divine (and anyone) must be tailored gently. "I saw this thing and it reminded me of you" so you send a link or a photo to someone you care about? Yeah that principle applies to the Divine, too. A rock. A photo. A piece of art. You bring them.

You also sit and talk. Have a coffee. Have a drink. Water. Dinner. You share a meal. You hold conversations. You hang out and bask in an afternoon setting sun and admire the birds.

If you are not doing this, That's why your relationships with the Divine feel flat and empty. It is not just about going through the motions, lighting a candle, offering incense. It isn't just about routine and saying the words. Your work with the Divine isn't your 9-5 job. And it doesn't deserve the same cold detachment you treat your job. It isn't to pay your bills. It's for spiritual and personal enrichment and growth.
