You only get to call it "mutual aid" if everyone receiving aid also gives something back to others.
That's LITERALLY THE DEFINITION OF THE WORD MUTUAL.
There is nothing wrong with "aid distribution" or "charity."
Stop butchering language by calling things the wrong words.

Parties always remind of what a nerd I am.
For example, last night at a friend's bday party, people were talking about loving the cheese platter.
My first thought was "Cheese is high in a chemical called Tyrosine, a neurological exhilarant. That's why we love it so much. Isn't that interesting!?"

At the health food store. Their Milky Oats tincture was not milky in color... Don't trust it! Properly tinctured Avena Sativa should have cloudy "debris" in it.
Also, none of their Lion's Mane was double extracted. Lion's Mane must be double extracted to be effective.

It has been raining almost every other day this year. Crazy amounts of rain. It makes mowing the lawn really difficult!
You can't mow wet grass, so you have to try to catch the magical 2-hour window when it dries off, before the clouds roll in again. Gods help you if you have to work that day...

I have tried 6 or more times, now, to make sauerkraut, and it has failed every single time. I followed the recipe closely. I learned the principles. But it keeps failing.

Just a regular reminder that pulling a horary chart for a question that you (or the client) do not have a personal connection to makes it not a radical chart, and the results invalid.

One of the oldest surviving pieces of art represents a large, beautiful woman.
The idea that fat bodies are unnatural, unhealthy anomalies is absolutely false. Our ancestors didn't eat "junk foods" (b/c that didn't exist), and they got fat, and they adored it.

I forgive the average person for mixing up the word "homeopathy" with "natural remedies."
I do not forgive journalists who make this mistake. It shows sloppiness, and a careless disregard for accuracy.

Even though I provide natural/alternative health services/coaching, I have a LOT of criticisms of the natural/alternative health space.
First, it's highly prone to setting up elite exclusions, making it unattainable by normal people. It has become a status symbol, not a life-giving resource for all

Astro friends, I'm asking for your advice. Family situations are always the most fraught and difficult to see clearly, because we are so close to them.
As a parent, although I can see the astro influences happening with my kids, I'm not sure how to deal with things sometimes.

My fellow Saturnians, learn from a sister, and incorporate this discipline into your life—
For everyone you meet, mentally list the good qualities in them. The bad qualities will come to mind without effort, but look for the good, and you will find it.
Saturn is exalted in Libra: balance!

It will always baffle me how easily people will believe that the poor, the sick, the marginalized, and the immigrant are the cause of all their problems, rather than the people in the most powerful positions in their country who refuse to fix problems and exploit them instead.
