I felt a gut punch the other day when I saw that Russ Hudson and his Canadian writing partner Catherine just came out with a book on the Enneagram and Creativity. I did a double-take: creativity? I mean, it’s Russ so it will be good, but is he reading the same headlines I’m reading? Did […]

After the war in Ukraine broke out in February, 2022, Austin Coppock said some pretty interesting things about the astrology of the Soviet Union on the Astrology Podcast. I wanted to look up the chart for the dissolution of the USSR not only because I have a Ukrainian back-story, but also because my friend is

Saturn rules government, and I come from a family that has done quite a bit of civil service. My siblings even married people who also ended up in government. My younger brother, who maybe has the most interesting civil servant career out of all of us, came to visit last night from Ottawa, and he

Yesterday when I read that Claudine Gay submitted her resignation, my heart hurt for her. I know her downfall comes from republican critics of DEI, from pro-Israeli’s and from conservatives who found plagiarism in her doctoral thesis and journal articles, which I will address in bits and pieces as I process this bludgeoning, but today’s

This is totally non-Christmasy themed, but tonight my boyfriend and I were playing our daily quiz games and one of the possible answers for our Worldle game had to do with Pacal the Great, whom I had never heard about. Apparently he was one of the greatest Mayan kings who mostly reigned in peace and

A big disagreement that my boyfriend and I had this year was about Unconscious Bias Tests that show you your unconscious reaction to a minority population. Last year, I took an online test that seeks to demonstrate our deeply-buried unconscious reaction to black people that we can’t see in the conscious realm. You have to

Dec. 21, 2023 Happy Solstice, Today I’m posting a look-back at my thoughts when I graduated from the U of R last year. “Well it is almost graduation time and this Political Science degree took me twenty years to complete! So now I have two undergrads and I am enormously grateful for both of them-
I was so excited about blogging this morning, I woke up at 5:40 am. I just graduated with my degree in political science last April (took me 20 years!), and politics has weighed heavy on my mind of late. Politics is as much about policy as it is about psychology, and I would like to
