Pre-orders matter more than you know:

I think this Venus retrograde really put a lot of things into perspective for me. Unfortunately, a lot of people do NOT pour into me like I pour into them. And I will no longer stay in connections where I am undervalued and unappreciated.

more reading, more praying, more silence, more dancing, more laughing, more barefoot walks on earth, more stargazing, more moon bathing, more tuning into the higher self.

I thought poetry could change everything, could change history and could humanize, and I think that the illusion is very necessary to push poets to be involved and to believe, but now I think that poetry changes only the poet.

Pluto Retrograde ends and you realize

I’m proud to announce my second book, SPAGHETTI JUNCTION: ESSAYS FROM A TANGLED LIFE, a memoir I wrote about the most life-changing moments of my 20s and early 30s. This is the most personal tale I’ve ever told, and I’m so excited to share it with you next summer, May 4, 2027.

The universe continues to curse the most empathetic and caring. I hope he makes a full recovery. He’s been incredibly outspoken for the oppressed and advocating for unity amongst us. This is so sad to see.
Pope Leo XIV has been diagnosed with lung cancer, the Vatican confirms.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
