Trying to get the hang of things, but Saturday 8th November there's going to be the first Livestream Parallel Play/Body Doubling/Chatty livestream with members on ko-fi (like patreon, but indie). We'll see how it goes, might even bring out the tarot deck for one card advice if i have the spoons.

KO-FI MEMBERSHIPS ARE HERE! ko-fi.com/activistwitch/tiers If you ever wanted to join a Patreon-like system and support us, now you can!
Perks include:
- Discord server access
- Video Credits
- Video Polls
- Monthly Audio Podcast/Offering
- Possible Spells/Rituals in PDF and Book Clubs (when spoons allow)
- Monthly 2 hour livestream for q&as, parallel play, one card tarot discussions, etc.
- Occasional "forbidden videos" i can't post on youtube (like the one you got reels from last week but couldn't post in full about white supremacist witches)
NOTE: my moral and ethical stance is to NEVER PUT BEHIND A PAYWALL any sort of education resource like you find in my video essays. These are perks to thank people who can help us survive as disabled broke witches in late stage capitalism, but that's what they are, extra perks. If you can afford it safely and would like to help: thank you. If you can't, don't worry, nothing changes and we will still both share the educational content, sources and essays that we have always shared publicly, for everyone to access. Supporting us on ko-fi simply helps us survive a bit more safely within the cost of living crisis, and therefore gives us a chance to keep working and researching to bring you free knowledge without having to live in constant high levels of anxiety.
so if you can join, you'll find us both there.
thank you so much
Ysha & Raven
PS: It took me TWO years to accept this was an option worth having and worth bringing to those who would like to help, because i have an awful relationship with money under capitalism, but having made sure this is extra value without exploiting my own work and value, here it finally is.

Just resharing since people platform Angela Puca uncritically despite knowing the stuff she's done to Trans People and people of colour, such as hosting cultural appropriation panels only featuring white people.
Why is this bad? Let's see:
1) Angela has been told repeatedly by trans people (including myself) about the damage her publicity of Harry Potter does to the trans community. Every time she shrugged and worse, gaslit us telling us what damages and what doesn't, showing that given the choice not only she doesn't listen to trans people, but also she will choose entertainment and literally promoting a franchise where every penny goes to anti trans lobbies as declared by the HP author, JK Rowling.
And let's be clear: she doesn't need to promote HP, it has nothing to do with her work, which means she'd lose NOTHING from stopping. It's even more insulting when it would cost her nothing, she just decided to die on this hill.
2) Angela has hosted panels about cultural appropriation featuring only white people. Why is that bad? Well why would it be bad to host a panel on why Palestine needs freedom and how to achieve it featuring Only Israeli settlers? There. Rumour has it she did reach out to POCs for that panel and they all refused. Now, as a white person, if you want to talk about colonial issues and no person of colour trusts you enough to want to be associated with you, maybe you should reflect as to why and realise you are not the right person to host such an event. But we have seen how Angela lacks ability for self reflection and feels entitled to anything, trying to shut people up throwing around questionable academic titles so...
Just keep this in mind when you decide to give your time and attention to people, make I formed decisions about who you support.

Angela Puca doubling down on her weaponised ignorance showing once again she does not care for what actually hurts trans people and will not listen to them.
Her proud picture at platform 9¾ wearing Harry potter merch is still up and you can even find the comments of Terf ripping into me which she just let happen, gaslighting me to my face, two years ago, and again literally today as I commented on a post about her book, making people aware what Angela ignores on trans rights.
Make your educated decisions.
ps: Also, to the best of public information she does NOT teach anything remotely LGBTQ or gender studies related, not in any university at least. Which you know, as an actual brown trans non binary person who's an intersectionality educator, the falsehood to claim academic authority to prove what? An entitlement to be 💩 to trans people? That dishonesty irritates me the teensiest little bit.
The bookseller that posted her book blocked me for simply reporting on verifiable information still available online. Thank goodness I saved this comment

I filmed a video last week just after the Solitary Witches essay. I filmed it as a reaction because we found a video of a white witch on YouTube who was shocked conservatives would go after people like her with the book "Pagan Threat". This person said, unironically, repeatedly, that conservatives should "go after Muslims instead", and that the reason we should stop "bomb the middle east is because Muslims cannot integrate with white culture and they will just do crime and r*pe". So we shouldn't make them "escape" to europe.
I'm not paraphrasing.
A white cis het woman who claims to be a peaceful witch and pagan said that.
I thought deconstructing and showing you their racism and yt supremacy would have been educational but I was yet again reminded that if I showed how frustrated and angry, how she made me want to scream, in that state, I'd be the "angry Arab person" that people like her would use to prove their point because fake respectability politics always find a stick to beat people like me with.
So no, no video today. But I'll soon write a substack with her quotes, and hopefully I won't be tone policed as much in written form. But this is the kind of thought I need to have. All the time. And it's exhausting

there are not enough words in the english, italian or french languages (which are all i have) to express how precious and valuable the existence of @SaplingTarot is and how grateful I am to have them in my life as one of my pillars. always and forever my soul sibling and unquestionably the best thing to ever happen to me from opening this channel.
