Freeeeeee! Wahoo! I feel like shouting at the top of my lungs–and I can! I can do whatever the fuck I want, whenever the fuck I want, and there ain’t no one to say boo about it! Except for my cats, and they don’t say boo–they just hiss when they disapprove. Why am I blathering… Continue Reading

Burn, Baby Burn
My favorite Tarot card is the Tower, specifically from the Aleister Crowley Deck. It always has been for many reasons. One, it’s about the total destruction of old beliefs.
