Reminder that it really doesn’t matter what ways you’re marginalized, if you’re not black you’re just as capable of anti blackness as white cishet people. No amount of “but I’m gay!”, “but I’m trans!”, or “but I’m not white!” changes that.
And being neurodiverse/disabled isn’t an excuse for anti blackness either.

SCORPIO RISING ♏️
A new door is opening, one that leads to a new life. The universe is offering a surge of creative energy, ideas and spiritual awakenings. You are being placed in the right position and it will change your life for the better. A new air of fulfillment is out and you have lungs full of it. Now is the right time I'm hearing, your mind is right and you have the right plan, time to actually believe in yourself. It's time to move forward from that place of hurt and neglect. Pour into your self and do whatever is needed for healing. Inner work is needed here, too many feelings go unchecked with you. You're not facing them, these feelings have to do with you and how you feel about yourself. Anything that negatively affects you will also affect your success rate so you'll to need to check that. Investigate each feeling and thought, why do I think that way? Be truthful in answering for actual results.
The theme for you guys is 'choices'. You need to make a choice it's either you're going to stick to familiarity or your going to chose to take the leap of faith for yourself. This is an important decision. The two choices are two extremes, on one hand, you have the choice of repeating old cycles, the choice of running back to behaviors that you are comfortable with…out of fear. Fear of failure ( there's no such thing as failure!), fear of being out of your comfort zone ( you've built up a coping routine; leaping into your new plans might disrupt that but, you need to be strong), fear of being seen ( too many eyes and admiration is not something you're used to, the shadows are where you belong, people are too much) and fear of success ( when I get successful how much will everything change? Will I be happy? Will everyone still love me? Well…there's only way to find out!). On the other hand, you have the choice to let go of all those fears and lean into the outcome where you've chased your dreams and are successful. Where you embarked on this journey and you experienced so much amazing new things and now you’re a different person, more whole and content and free. Everyday you wake up excited to see what the day ahs in store for you. This energy is something that's coming in but the choice is yours of course.
You should start thinking about this seriously. The universe is seriously working with you and for you. You have to make the choice tho. Not choosing what you want for yourself will lead to heartbreak and disappointment. Trust yourself and trust that you are strong, smart, creative and capable of miracles. Leaning into your old patterns won't bode well for you. Trust your intuition it will guide you, you choosing yourself will bring in alot of abundance for you. The universe always gives big rewards for your hard work and sacrifice, self love is not an easy thing to keep up because there's a lot of discipline and hard choices, your spirit guides are trying to set you up for a better future but you have to love yourself enough to want it. You have to love yourself enough. You are enough. You are deserving and you need to remember that. Always.
I recommend Rose quartz, Flourite, pyrite, carnelian,citirine. Work with florida water and palo santo. Sage if you can. Spend some time in nature if you can, sea water is very cleansing. Practice gratitude. NO NEGATIVE SELF TALK!

🌡~My take on scorpio placements ~
◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇
☆ scorpio in the 7th house- usually get cheated on by their partners. Go through Toxic/ narcissistic partners at some point in their lives. 3rd party situations. Partners lying and deceiving you.
☆ scorpio mars- usually center of attention (attention grabber not seeker). Females with this placement tend to attract jealously from their so called friends or just other people in general. Men tends to sexualize them alot, Might have spread rumors about them at some point.
Men with this placement, if underdeveloped, tends to be toxic af. The need to control everyone and everything around them is just awful. Fuck around a lot. Sleeping with different different people.
If developed, good achievers. Very strategic mindset. Usually get what they want in life. Bulletproof mindset. Very good at talking to people but still maintaining boundaries. Loyal.
☆scorpio suns- idk why and how, but when people get to know that someone is a scorpio, they get weirdly attracted to them??? Like staring at them, wanting to know them. Intimidated by them.
☆scorpio sun/moons- have a good sense of humour. They can make anyone laugh. And with this, they tend to attract alot of people who wants to be in a relationship with them.
☆ scorpio venus- won't say a loyal lover HOWEVER when they love love, they are loyal 100%. Underdeveloped can lie about being in love.
☆retrograde scorpio venus- feels unlovable. Extreme trust issues. Highly sensitive. Very very very high on trust. You know how they say scorpios take tests? With this placement? Tests x 100. Don't give 2nd chances. It's very very difficult for them to be vulnerable. People have rejected them alot. Might have been body shamed or criticised for looks. They feel like they don't deserve to be loved.
☆scorpio stellium in the natal chart- highly intuitive. Usually sees things beforehand. POWER. THE DARKNESS. THE EYES!!! Very beautiful people inside out. However they don't trust easily but if they do, for the love of lord, don't break it cuz you'll be coming back again and again to win them over.
☆scorpio moon- been through some serious shit. Been through hell and back with themselves. They understand people very well. However, they don't get the same understanding in return. They can see right through you so don't f with them. Hate mind games.
☆scorpio rising- very very intimidating. Females with this placement tends to attract jealousy in any form. People want to dominate you so bad. People telling them to tone it down. Basically people don't like your mindset, it triggers them cuz they can't have power over you. Hates 2 faced people. And the irony is, they usually deal with 2 faced people.
☆scorpio lilith- highly seductive. Very attractive. Sex appeal. Feelings run deep for them. Had people who wanted them only for sexual pleasures, wanted to touch them in any way. High vibration scorpio lilith is THE HEALER. also I've seen yall had some near death experiences?? Or witnessed someone dying in front of you.
☆ scorpio mercury- moves in silence. Very strategic and careful. Committed to anything they put their mind into. Always ready to be one on one while fighting. Their way of talking is very intense and mysterious which makes people wanna know how do you think like that. When they say something they really mean it. They take their time. Expects the worst. They figure things out so fast so don't even think of gaslighting them.
☆Scorpio in the 10th house- achievers. From a young age they had an insight of what they will become. Hold power in their work environment. If your a student, your classmates want to steal your notes, they feel envious that you make pretty good notes of whatever you're studying cuz yall go in depth and make pretty good observations of the topics. Authority figures.
☆scorpio in the 5th- gets extreme reactions from people. Ofcourse with any other placements, attracts jealousy. (Bruh I don't get it, what's with the scorpios dealing with alot of jealousy???? Like that's tiring) Grabs attention in parties, get togethers or any form of social gatherings. Might have dealt with people wanting to take your partners. Might have overly strict parents or very fucked up family issues.
That's it for now🫶🏻
this is still so funny to me

Too cute
Bernadette Peters rehearsing for Sunday in the Park with George (1984)
(2/2) “My mother died on July 6th, 2005. One day toward the end of her life, we were in the subway together, carrying heavy packages, and I could see she was exhausted. She turned to me and said: ‘A ganzeh leben is a schlep.’ Which means: ‘All of life is a schlep.’ And for a moment I felt her pain. I realized I could still love her. She couldn’t love me, but I could love her. Despite all the abuse she’d given me, I could feel her pain. I resurrected this old photo after her death. She’s with her first husband. It was weeks before he was taken away. She’s only twenty years old in this picture. That gorgeous face. That youth. How could I possibly hate her the same way? It’s unfathomable. Not that she was right to be cruel, but it’s unfathomable what she went through. I once helped her type a memoir to get reparations from the Germans. At the end of her story, she wrote: ‘It was a life of horror. Having lost everything and everyone, I’d given up my struggle to live. And at that time, it would have been easier if they had killed me. But they didn’t. So on I went, living in hell.‘”

This kind of hit me in the feels.
@queery-potter event ‘Bi headcanons’: Bisexual Narcissa Malfoy.
Growing up, Narcissa hadn’t been taught the term ‘bisexual’. Lesbians and good housewives, that’s what her mother told her and that was what Narcissa believed.
And because Narcissa would be a good wife, she was certainly not a lesbian. She liked kissing Lucius Malfoy, and she loved the idea of being his wife. And because she loved men, she wasn’t a lesbian, and therefore she didn’t love women. It was very simple.
Even if she did smile to herself when Marlene Mckinnon got flirty with her. And even if she enjoyed kissing Neith Zabini in abandoned corridors, and blushed if Lily Evans smiled in a certain way. She wasn’t a lesbian so she didn’t love women.
Andromeda asked her, Neith asked her, at one occasion even Rodolphus asked her. But she shook her head, answered she loved men not women, and left.
Narcissa married and had a child and pushed the thoughts away. She loved Lucius with all her heart, she would always love him, and it didn’t matter that she’d once had reasons to doubt.
Even if Narcissa’s thoughts would wander to Neith and abandonee corridors. Even if it wasn’t always Lucius she thought when touching herself, but Lily and could have been’s. Even if it was Alecto Carrow she allowed to be with her trying to relief her worry during the war.
Until after the war she refused to think of any of it. Until Harry Potter brought her flowers one day as a thank you gift, and mentioned his boyfriend had picked them. That’s when Narcissa looked up and asked “You are gay?” In a surprised tone, and narrowed her eyes when he shook his head.
“No, actually. I’m bisexual.”
She asked what it meant and he explained, and Narcissa was silent for minutes. She thought of Neith, and Alecto, and Lily, and Lucius. Repeated the word in her head a few times before remembering she wasn’t alone.
“Ah, I see.” Narcissa answered, and for some reason she had the idea Harry understood.
