I’ve started a new personal blog!

I’ve been reflecting on the type of Content (tm) I want to make for my Fabled Fungi accounts and kept feeling like I was trying to cram too many side interests in until I realized what I really wanted was another personal blog. That way my business accounts can remain focused on my business a little bit more.

Anyway, what you’ll find here is pictures of and links to my art of course, as well as personal updates, moving updates, updates on our DIYs for our new house, disability hacks we put into the new house, witchy projects, and hyperfixation infodumping.

But first, a little bit about me . . .

My name is Moss and I use xe/xem/xyr pronouns.

I’m AuDHD, and have Fibromyalgia as well as a host of comorbid issues that are often disabling.

I am non-binary, trans, and queer.

I am passionate about disability justice, queer rights, deconstructing White Supremacy Culture, decolonization, and post-capitalism world-building.

I live with my partner Audrey and our kitty Ellie in the PNW, although we are relocating to the Midwest in April 2024.

I have a passion for all things fiber arts from crocheting, to embroidery, to spinning, to natural dyeing. Most of my art is some form of fiber art.

I have also been getting into digital drawing, which is primarily what my business is focused on at the moment. Currently, I am designing a Mushroom Mandala coloring book!

Mushrooms are one of my primary special interests! Most of my art is mushroom themed.

Tea is another of my special interests! I worked in the tea industry for about 7 years before burning out, but still have a passion for tea blending and personal tea rituals.

I am a witch, primarily interested in herbal medicine, astrology, lunar magic, and sigil making. This year I am really trying to live with intentionality and incorporate my witch craft onto all aspects of my life, as well as develop the skills to use my craft to help others.

I am also a gardener, most interested in permacultured food forests with a focus on indigenous plants. I really hope our new house has a little bit of yard for me to establish a bit of a permacultured garden in.

In an effort to Stay More Present and On Top of Things, I’ve been leaning pretty hard on Notion . . . It’s my current hyperfixation and I’ll probably talk about it a lot as I fine-tune my systems. I also hope to publish some of my Notion templates once they are complete.

Some relevant movies and tv shows that should be boycotted:

Stranger Things: Noah Schnapp claimed zionism is sexy and Hamas is ISIS and liked videos on twitter mocking Palestinian people; actor Brett Gelman and producer Shawn Levy are zionists and both support Schnapp

The Last Of Us: israeli politics in The Last Of Us Part 2; Neil Druckmann openly supports israel

Percy Jackson & the Olympians: Rick Riordan, the author of the books has made zionist comments neutral to Israel and the genocide

The Umbrella Academy: Aidan Gallagher openly supported Israel on instagram with a post "I stand with Israel", post is now deleted

Deadpool 3: Shawn Levy, the director of the movie is a zionist

Dune 2: Timothee Chalamet made a joke on SNL about the genocide in Palestine

Any Disney movies and shows including Inside Out 2, PJO, The Eras Tour movie, Moana 2, Marvel content: Disney is funding Israel, it has been announced that a new Israeli superhero will be joining the MCU

If you support Palestine, boycott zionist companies and stop funding them. Besides, there are many ways to watch the newest movies without paying a cent.

Please feel free to add more movies and shows with source links! 🍉

As an Always Overstimulated neurodivergent, i gotta say, I am looking forward to not living with Always Understimulated neurodivergent folks. I do not like the TV being Always On, especially first thing in the morning 😨

what does a free palestine look like?

it looks like palestinians living freely in their homeland without fear of their homes being stolen, their children being kidnapped, their houses being bombed, their borders blockaded, their passports limited, their relatives unable to return to their own land, their produce and taxes and roads being controlled by a racist settler-colonialist entity, their livelihood and existence threatened by a genocidal occupation. it looks like full citizenship of their nation and freedom of movement and choice on their land. u know the basic human rights everyone in the world who is not under occupation has?

Being from Gaza, Palestine is so different.

I tell people I'm from Gaza and I get pity, I get the "oh... do you have family there?" and I have to act tough, I am tough, it runs in my veins. Being from Gaza is expecting that reaction, the sorrow, it's dealing with dumbass people everyday, it's getting the "can you go there?" question. (No i cant btw).

I am from Gaza, I feel emotions just like everyone else, I feel anger and hurt and longing for a place I cant visit, I feel love and comfort and right now I feel alone and like im yelling at the world to pay attention and NO ONE CARES.

I am from Gaza, my thoughts belong to Gaza, my heart, my skin color, the way I speak, the way I say words a bit differently than the rest of the Palestinians, the way I wish I was a filmmaker to share my culture with the world.

I am from Gaza, i am aware of how different my people are, i am aware that i grew up differently, I am aware I grew up looking at the news from my grandparents television with my aunt waiting for news about her family, I am aware that I have trauma in my veins, I am aware that my culture is taken over and that I can't really speak about it, I am aware that not everyone experiences your aunt screaming that her brother died and yelling "He's apart of my soul, my soul died"

I am from Gaza, I hurt, I feel, I love, I care and my heart, soul and mind all belong to my beautiful land and its people.

I’ve decided my Focus Phrase for the year is Luxuriating in Attending to My Physical Form. I struggle with interoception and knowing what my body needs, which combined with The ADHD Urge(tm) to classify repetitive tasks (ie eating regularly, sleeping regularly, taking care of my body in general) as boring/ tedious has probably not helped my chronic illness situation. So rather than viewing these tasks as monotonous chores, I’ve decided to build them into luxurious daily rituals. I joked that since the initialism for this focus phrase is LAMPF, the symbol of my year should be a moth, but the more I thought about it, the more I connected with The Moth. Like the lunar counterpart to butterflies, they also are a symbol of regenerative evolution and transformation. I'm getting in touch with lunar energy this year and prioritizing doing the little things I need to help get my physical form functioning a little more smoothly. . . Also, I too wish to Bask In Light (be that the light of the moon, the sun, my SAD lamp . . . ) Anyway, I made a moth-y sigil for this intention, which got me really into drawing sigils again.

I have acquired a new-to-me iPad and have been having fun personalizing it! (Keen observers may note that yes, my wallpaper is the same moss picture as my tumblr header)
