I once dated a guy who found out that telling me he was praying was a perfect way to get under my skin and start a fight. I don’t know if I still have a Tinder profile up, but if I did, there would be a riff on that line about “My relationship with God […]

My conservative uncle called me this week wanting to say hi and let me know he cares about me. I let it go to voice mail because I wasn’t sure how I was going to respond; I unfriended him during the pandemic after his posts where causing me so much stress that it took hours
I’m in a discussion with someone about the virtues, and he initially linked them to Christianity, which got me cringing because of course they go back beyond Christianity to Socrates and Pythagoras, and (because I’ve studied the Enneagram), I’d say they go back in their hellenstic form to the Egyptians. In his defence, he knows

I’ve been having a hard time slogging through the trauma of the American election, with the attendant social media hazards that come along with politics. I couldn’t sleep tonight, so I wrote this fictional post to baby boomers who supported the male candidate: Baby boomers, has the church let you down? Do you see through

I know a liberal Jewish man who recently did inquiry with a conservative Jewish woman in a Diamond Approach context about Israel and Palestine. They had done it in person before, but at this point, they were doing it over e-mail. One of the last things she said before the communication broke down was that

This happens to me often- I don’t like cooking or even thinking about cooking, so I often

These headlines ruined my day today. Aren’t Southern Americans the types of people who sneer at higher education, that say you don’t need university to make it in this world, that a degree is a waste of money? What irony that they’re threatening to kill scientists who are telling them scientific facts about hurricanes. Spreading

On the topic of politics from yesterday, here’s another way the right-left divide is exacertabed unnecessarily: the political gap is as much about us feeling unheard and invalidated in our respective intelligence centre as it is about different values. I used to fight with my dad- he is a head type (5/6) and I’m a

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

I was looking up an old Robert A. Johnson interview I had seen a while ago on youtube, and I was looking for the comment I had made under the video. With my 3rd house lord, Saturn, conjunct the north node, I can find something to complain about with the most brilliant of thinkers (Saturn
