Counting up to the election: Netzach and Hod

rosefox's post on Netzach

I resonate with endurance and tenacity. Stubbornness. One foot in front of the other in front of the other. I don't resonate as much with vision, victory, and eternity. Except the kind of eternity that is an eternal present. I noticed around Tiferet that I feel injured in relation to vision. Flinchy, growly, like an injured cat.

Regarding mentors, I want to give a shoutout to RaceFail 2009, where I got a lot of my initial anti-racist education as I silently followed the blossoming of posts across the fannish internet. I appreciate all the people who turned their pain into posts and gathered links to move that struggle forward.

I like the idea of sitting with the ungraspable nature of being alive. Here we are, as bizarre as it is!

( Week of Hod )

I like the idea, for tomorrow, of supporting something that's already good. I'm finding that kindness is so crucial right now, the small kindnesses of smiling, acknowledging someone's presence, making their life a little easier, appreciating when they do that for me. I have been ordering a bunch of stuff online lately, and while I'm giving the spending a bit of a side-eye, it also fits with supplying my future self, supporting artists and small businesses, and gathering gifts to send out later. I think something in me is trying to batten down for an unpredictable winter. Scared, and grieving, and reaching for comfort.

Thanks, rosefox, for putting this structure together and giving me the opportunity to be with everything it brings up.
