hello soul siblings 🥰, I have MISSED YOU! 🫶🏾 as we bear witness to genocide and support and uplift the student and other protests in response, today I want to share and amplify the work of the WONDER-MAGIC-FUL Dr Ayesha Khan who writes the beautiful, informative, revolutionary Cosmic Anarchy Substack, which I am entirely obsessed with. I am sharing their work imperfectly, reaching for these words, and reaching for you. I send you my love, today and always. Thank you for being here. 🥺💛
