Apr. 2025 Newsletter: What I’ve Been Up To

By Rachel Gold

In the first two weeks of April, I went hardcore into finding different ways to brace my hands, taking better care of them, taking better care of my entire body, and prioritizing many kinds of rest.

By Ashton Rose

This divide would continue within me for years, serving as a barrier to my full access of the Tarot’s knowledge. Until, a couple years ago, I received Erin Morgenstern’s Phantomwise Tarot.

Different Changemaking Paths for LGBTQ+ Activists (and Their Allies)

By Ashton Rose

There is no one right way to survive. That’s the biggest message I want you to get from reading this. As long as you aren’t harming others, you’re good in my book.
