    Astrology!
    From AstroBarry:

    CANCER (June 21-July 22): As I write this, you are actively in the midst of another critical opportunity to transform the dynamic of a key relationship into something that more closely reflects what you actually feel… as opposed, that is, to behaving in a manner that 'protects' your sensitive heart (ah, sweet crab) but inhibits an experience of true mutual communion through gestures of forced 'considerateness'. In other words, Cancer, pretending (1) it's casual when it's not, (2) you like 'em when you don't, (3) you intend to work on it when you know you'll never trust 'em again or (4) you're fine with one kind of relationship when what you really want is something very different will, more or less, hold you in a state of suspended interpersonal development. And truth be told, the specifics of the other person's present life circumstances are not the issue. Thus, justifying your paralysis with concerns for what's going on with them (and how you might dip and swerve around your needs to accommodate 'em) doesn't cut it with me. What's holding you back, at the root, are your own emotional questions about 'who am I to make demands?'—and require, in order to be healed, a revised self-judgment that leaves you feeling like you deserve to be nurtured as you desire (not like you ought to restrain those desires). Life's too short to wait, in potentially futile hope, for our important relationships to organically evolve of their own accord… as if we'll be lucky enough for such evolutions to make us more, rather than less, contented.


    Whew! I am filled with delicious trepidation upon reading this! This and [info]paradox_puree's recent post about fannihilating fear seem like they're fucking important for me at the moment . . . .

    * Leaves on my grandmother's driveway, even though she isn't thankful fr them :-)

    Remembering Our Dead
    Today, as is every November 20, is the Transgender Day of Remembrance, the day when tbe trans and gender-variant community remembers those of us who have died as a result of hate crimes. According to some oft-quoted statistics, there is a transgender hate murder every three days, and transfolk have a 1 in 12 chance of being murdered, compared to the population as a whole's 1 in 83,000 chance.

    I urge you to find a remembrance event in your area and attend. In ancient times, it was thought that only the stories and remembrance of the living were what saved the dead from oblivion, from the grey boring wastes of the general underworld. We living have a duty to the dead. A list of events country- (and possibly world-) wide can be found at the front page of The official Day of Remembrance site.

    As part of my annual remembrance, I build a virtual shrine by posting as widely as I can the names and stories of the dead, with attendant prayers. Join me in spreading their stories by re-posting this wherever you can. You enter now the presence of the Fabulous Glorious Dead:

    Hermaphroditus, look at the names of the dead.
    Ardhanarisvara, read the names of the dead.
    Melek Ta'us, remember the names of the dead.
    Eris, look at the names of the dead.
    Antinous, read the names of the dead.
    Hoor-paar-kraat, remember the names of the dead.
    Tlazolteotl, look at the names of the dead.
    Azathoth, look at the names of the dead.
    Pomba-Gira, read the names of the dead.
    Inanna, remember the names of the dead.
    Baphomet, look at the names of the dead.
    Avalokitesvara, read the names of the dead.
    Faro, remember the names of the dead.
    Tiresias, look at the names of the dead
    PerAa Hatschepsut, read the names of the dead
    Heru-Suti, remember the names of the dead.
    {This list includes the contributions of [info]yezida and another blogger; feel free to add more, in the comments or when you re-post this}

    Cut for length and possibly triggering descriptions of hate murders )

    For those who would like more details, here are some of the sources listed above. )

    Thank you for taking the time to read and remember.
