Ridiculous Thoughts

even if you can't fall asleep, laying down with your eyes closed will still rest your body

you don't have to brush your teeth standing up

you don't have to do any chore standing up, from dishes to showering

you don't have to shower with the lights on

if you can't brush your teeth, flossing and a tongue scraper gets rid of plaque and bad breath

if you can't do that, mouthwash kills a lot of bacteria

eating "unhealthy" food is better than eating no food

you can make the same meal everyday for however long you still want it

some pills come in syrups or chewables if you can't swallow them

kids nutritional shakes can be a quick way to get fuel if you can't eat/don't have time

if walking hurts/exhausts you on a regular basis, canes and rollers are for you, no matter how young you are

step 1: shut up

step 2: mind your business

step 3: educate yourself

Witchy things for you to do when your energy is low but your need to witch is high.*

Energy Observation

Not everyone can sit in a serene and silent room and meditate efficiently, so pop on your noise-canceling headphones and maybe do a quick guided meditation to help get in tune with the flow of energy in your body. Simply observe, don’t try to force energy to flow

Tea spells

Herbal teas are great for spells because they already have “spell components”—herbs—and they’re designed to be easy to make. Choose a tea that incorporates herbs that fit the intentions of your spell. If you have the energy for it, come up with a prayer, chant, or rhyme for your spell while you wait for the tea to brew!

Touch Grass

No really—go outside and just appreciate the nature around you try to see if you can let go of yourselves and just be a part of the world around you.

Spiritual Soup

If you can’t go outside then try to get in tune with your indoor space and allow yourself to become part of the spiritual soup that is your living space.

Digital Offerings

If you can’t physically create an offering for the deities, spirits, etc in your life, make a digital offering. You could create a mood board, collage, cobble together a Pinterest board, and more. The possibilities are endless!

I was invited to participate in an Israeli propaganda campaign program. I can’t make this clearer: boycott, divest, and sanction is more needed than ever. Not only would participating violate my own ethics but also contribute to a campaign waging genocide against the Palestinian people. There is no valid excuse to support Israel. This isn’t an equal-sided conflict but a massacre of Palestinians. 

Israel is an apartheid state. There are over 50 laws privileging Jews over Arabs as I write this. Jews gain automatic citizenship while Arabs do not (despite being indigenous to the land), violating their basic human rights. 

Imagine having your home paved over with no warning. Imagine segregated roads that make it impossible for you to access the wealthy parts of your city. Imagine not having running water because your state disconnected it. Imagine seeing your friends routinely, systematically shot and killed at protests. Imagine having your hospitals, schools, and shelters relentlessly bombed. Imagine being arrested, misgendered, and publicly shamed for refusing to participate in these war crimes by your government. 

They boast educational opportunity, equality, and universal healthcare. Yet, they are leaving out a third of their population, which they call “unique political and security challenges,” from these benefits. Apartheid states can never achieve any of these cultural commodities.
