I write about stuff despite the fact that the promised safety my intelligence and university degree should have given me were a lie: in late stage capitalism, as individuals, we are no longer valuable when tech giants want us hooked on AI just to sell their products to other businesses but selling our dependency on them with it (when something is free, you're the product)

Ungrateful and unmotivated as we are described, Millennials and Gen Z have come to see the promise of hard work and safety means nothing in a world where capitalism is getting to the end of individuals phagocytosis and so two things are going to happen:

Interest rates going up make everyone poorer. You might survive a bit longer if you own property but don't worry, capitalism is working to expropriate that from you, sending you into debt so every penny of capital you have, will become capital of the bank which just invests in billionaires venture.

Without a penny to your name and homelessness criminalised you either are able bodied enough to become a free worker as a convict or you'll be left to die and thin a population that, once exhausted it's purchasing power, really has no other use to capitalism.

I'm not catastrophising, we're here now.

I wanted to use the little match girl by Andersen as a reference but I still cry like a bunny when I just think about it just like I did when my grandmother was reading me the story, so I settled for an art piece I did this year, collage on canvas based on a spoken word piece which accidentally fits a bit too well because it's indeed about wealth inequality, poverty and housing, or lack thereof in the UK. It's called "All Money is Blood".

I always forget to do a reading with my ancestors on Saturdays because it falls between my deities readings of Friday and Sundays. But Mondays rules by the moon are about family too and so today after almost 2 months I did a reading with my Nonni. It's weird, word come to me in old Italian's sayings when I interpret cards for them.

My latest video essay on:
Capitalism
Slavery
Patriarchy
The war on minorities and reproductive rights
And how the heritage Foundation and project 2025 have used all of those in the service of capitalism.

For some bizzarre reason I thought the card for forgiveness was an artistic take on Astarion, the vampire from baldur's gate 3 😅

@MidnightTeaseSalem I didn't know about it, thank you for mentioning it I will look it up!

I am shocked by the beauty of this deck. I question from time to time if decks based on classical art have merit (or rather, the author does because all the art exists already and for them is only to assign 78 cards) but still: I wouldn't have been able to made this, and I'm glad it exists.

Hi there! I go by Ysha and most of my presence is under the monicker Activist Witch.

I'm my day life I'm an intersectionality educator and I am part of a few grassroots organisation by and for queer people of colour.

Kudos to @echozines for making me aware of this place.
