Sasha Digiulian is a glaring example of white feminism. By critically examining this connection, celebrity culture, and ongoing global injustices, this piece challenges readers to rethink what real progress looks like in the fight for liberation. True change requires more than just "a seat at the table."

Winona LaDuke points out that imperialist-white supremacist-capitalist-patriarchy (as bell hooks called it) conditions white people to feel powerless. It's time we reclaim our agency and power and shape the world we want to live in.

My first trail run after COVID had me thinking about medical apartheid, environmental racism, Lesbian Lore rabbit holes, celebrity culture and the false belief that representation will save us, how too many of us queer white women are Taylor Swifting our art and content, and why any conversation about gender and sexuality needs to include an analysis of the impacts of whiteness and ongoing colonization.

The King of Cups is a parent holding our emotions. This seems to speak to the ways in which we all have the capacity to re-parent ourselves, so that we may be able to hold space for not only our emotions and experiences in the ways we might have missed out on as children of emotionally immature adults (which is, I assume, most of us), but also so that we can be a holder for others’ emotions and experiences as well. Sometimes we’re called to be the container and sometimes we need others’ to contain or hold us, not in a controlling way, but in a gentle, open, cupped hands kind of way.

Last night, Chiron and the North Node came together in a conjunction. In astrology, Chiron is an asteroid known as “the wounded healer.” Transiting Chiron shows us where and what we’re ready to heal. But we also all have Chiron in our natal birth chart, which shows us what we’re perennially working on to heal. It’s a wound that we can learn to work with and tend to our whole life, so that we’re not defined by that wound or hurt. It’s a placement in our chart that allows us to be simultaneously apprentice *and* teacher and share what we’ve learned from our healing journey with others.

We're taught to believe that knowledge is static, definitive, fixed, unbiased, nonpartisan. If that was the case why are they banning Critical Race Theory from being included in curriculums? Why do they tell college professors,"You can teach whatever you want, but advocate nothing," as Dr. Joy James reveals in this potent and incisive conversation with Ericka Hart and Ebony Donnley on their award-deserving podcast Hoodrat to Headwrap.

I love being accused of "feminist propaganda" because that means what I'm writing is threatening to the foundations of white, cisheteropatriarchy and that's always the goal. When I stop being accused of writing "propaganda" I'll start to worry and wonder if I've lost my touch or if I'm doing something wrong.

There is a labor reckoning happening in the climbing industry. A recent mass layoff and slashing of their Yoga and Fitness Programs at Movement Chicago’s location catalyzed the power of the community to craft a petition for justice and accountability of Movement Climbing Gym leadership. Simultaneously, workers at Movement Climbing Gym Crystal City formed the first union in the climbing industry in 2021, but now face continued bad faith bargaining and efforts to sabotage the process from Movement leadership. The rot of capitalism is being exposed and workers and community members are uniting for better work conditions, living wages, and equitable treatment in an effort to cultivate a healthier and safe(r) climbing community overall.

there’s nothing eco-friendly about an eco-billionaire.
