My mom has a cool book.
[ID: an excerpt from ‘Poem for a Birthday: With Burning,’ a poem by Sylvia Plath
“We grow. It hurts at first.”]
I am cranky today and whenever someone white mentions “learning from Indigenous ways” in that disconnected “pluck a practice and apply it while maintaining the colonizer’s framework” I wanna get snappish and be like, it’s not going to work like that buddy, it’s going to be YOU in OUR system, so if an auntie tells you it’s a moratorium on all resource extraction until the salmon and herring stocks regenerate, you’ll say “Yes ma’am” and do it, and if an uncle says we need to restore prairie grasslands, you’ll say “Yes sir” and do it.
But that’s not gonna win me any real long term victories >.>
Australia is on fire and Aotearoa’s seas are rising. Why are we waiting for a climate crisis to listen to indigenous knowledge?

Samhain History!
Hello lovelies! Since Samhain is right around the corner we thought we would share some history!
Pronounced “sow-win”; Samhain is a pagan holiday that originates from an ancient Celtic spiritual tradition. Today, Samhain is usually practiced from the evening of October 31st to the evening of November 1st to welcome in the harvest and bring in the “dark half of the year.”
Ancient Celts believed Samhain was the most significant of the four quarterly festivals and after their harvest work was complete would celebrate by joining Druid priests in lighting a community fire using a wheel that was considered a representation of the sun. Participants took a flame from this communal fire back to their homes to replenish the hearths that they let die out earlier that day. These Celts believed that Samhain was a mandatory celebration and if one would refuse to participate they would receive a punishment from the gods, usually being illness or death.
Celts believed that the barrier between worlds was thinnest during Samhain and would leave offerings outside of their villages and in fields for the fae, as well as Sidhs. They believed that their ancestors might cross over during this time and to protect them from being kidnapped by the fae; would dress up as animals and monsters. More specifically, they would dress up with monsters that they associated with Samhain, such as the shape-shifting creature ‘Pukah,’ that recieved harvest offerings, or The Lady Gwyn, a headless woman dressed in white that would chase night wanderers.
Samhain celebrations continued to progress through the Middle Ages. Samghnagans, personal bonfires nearer the farms, became a tradition to protect families from the fae, as well as witches. Persons would carve turnips attached to strings and embedded with coal: Jack-o-lanterns. In Wales, men would toss burning wood at each other as a violent game. During these times, the tradition “dumb supper” began, in which celebrants would invite ancestors in to feast with them, giving the families a chance to interact with the spirits until the feast was over. Children would play games for the dead, while adults updated them on the past year’s news. That night, doors and windows would be left open for the dead to come in and eat cakes that had been left for them.
As Christianity gained way into pagan communities, church leaders attempted to refrain Samhain as a Christian Celebration. The first attempt was by Pope Boniface in the 5th century. He moved the celebration to May 13 and specified it as a day celebrating saints and martyrs.In the 9th century, Pope Gregory moved the celebration back to the time of the fire festivals, but declared it All Saints’ Day, on November 1. All Souls’ Day would follow on November 2.
A broad revival of Samhain resembling its traditional pagan form began in the 1980s with the growing popularity of Wicca.Wicca celebration of Samhain takes on many forms, from the traditional fire ceremonies to celebrations that embraces many aspects of modern Halloween, as well as activities related to honoring nature or ancestors. Wiccans look at Samhain as the passing of the year, and incorporate common Wiccan traditions into the celebration.In the Druid tradition, Samhain celebrates the dead with a festival on October 31 and usually features a bonfire and communion with the dead. American pagans often hold music and dance celebrations called Witches’ Balls in proximity to Samhain.
However you celebrate please be safe and respectful! Blessed Be!

“Get a rat and put it in a cage and give it two water bottles. One is just water, and one is water laced with either heroin or cocaine. If you do that, the rat will almost always prefer the drugged water and almost always kill itself very quickly, right, within a couple of weeks. So there you go. It’s our theory of addiction. Bruce comes along in the ‘70s and said, “Well, hang on a minute. We’re putting the rat in an empty cage. It’s got nothing to do. Let’s try this a little bit differently.” So Bruce built Rat Park, and Rat Park is like heaven for rats. Everything your rat about town could want, it’s got in Rat Park. It’s got lovely food. It’s got sex. It’s got loads of other rats to be friends with. It’s got loads of colored balls. Everything your rat could want. And they’ve got both the water bottles. They’ve got the drugged water and the normal water. But here’s the fascinating thing. In Rat Park, they don’t like the drugged water. They hardly use any of it. None of them ever overdose. None of them ever use in a way that looks like compulsion or addiction. There’s a really interesting human example I’ll tell you about in a minute, but what Bruce says is that shows that both the right-wing and left-wing theories of addiction are wrong. So the right-wing theory is it’s a moral failing, you’re a hedonist, you party too hard. The left-wing theory is it takes you over, your brain is hijacked. Bruce says it’s not your morality, it’s not your brain; it’s your cage. Addiction is largely an adaptation to your environment. […] We’ve created a society where significant numbers of our fellow citizens cannot bear to be present in their lives without being drugged, right? We’ve created a hyperconsumerist, hyperindividualist, isolated world that is, for a lot of people, much more like that first cage than it is like the bonded, connected cages that we need. The opposite of addiction is not sobriety. The opposite of addiction is connection. And our whole society, the engine of our society, is geared towards making us connect with things. If you are not a good consumer capitalist citizen, if you’re spending your time bonding with the people around you and not buying stuff—in fact, we are trained from a very young age to focus our hopes and our dreams and our ambitions on things we can buy and consume. And drug addiction is really a subset of that.”
