the double text #14
we're getting another moon (for a while).
Friends,
I hope you were able to catch the full moon this past Tuesday evening and that you made your intentions lists. If you haven’t, I recommend it to you again now. For 57 days this fall, we will have a mini Moon (yes, that means we will have TWO moons) lasting from Sept. 29 to Nov. 25th. It is only visible via telescope, though, so if you’ve got one, please invite me over.
Libra season starts in two days (September 22), so it’s a time for collaboration, relationship building, and strengthening anything that has fallen by the wayside. Don’t hesitate to speak up and ask for what you need. It’s a time for relying on your community to help you get through it all. It’s a time to offer your help to anyone who needs it. It’s a time to connect.
Something I always remind myself of when I hesitate to reach out: People inherently want to help. They really do. It’s part of human nature.

Anatomy of Lies (Peacock)
Whether you’re new to this scandal or read Part 1 and Part 2 in Vanity Fair, only to obsessively follow up with another breakdown in
, this new documentary series arrives October 15th in a three-part series with voices from the family and friends that Elisabeth Finch lied to, speaking out, for the first time. Though ultimately, I think I will always be left to wonder how many of the classique Grey’s one-liners were written by a liar.How To Be A True Trans Ally: Lady Gaga
I caught this promo clip on TikTok, and even though I’ve seen all these interviews over the years, as she was coming up, the Gates interview highlights how insanely toxic and tragic this rhetoric was at the time. Gaga is a steadfast ally and makes it easy to understand that we, as people, can apply this heartfelt thinking and methodology to anything and anyone. Fight hate. Stand together. It is that simple.
