"Hope will never be silent." — Harvey Milk, activist and politician Survival Tactic for the Day: If you've been holding your breath around someone who makes you shrink — and you know who they are — exhale the moment you leave the room. Audibly. Let your lungs hear themselves. You don't owe quiet to anyone who costs you air https://thistleandmoss.com/p/3-4-2026-mourning-a-loss #meditation #spirituality #druid #earth #nature #eco #gaia #brigid #pagan #trans #queer #lgbtqia

The wheel has turned past the equinox and leans now toward Beltane, toward the fire-month, though we aren't there yet. We are in the thick of the quickening — tha an talamh a' dùsgadh, the earth is waking — and she is not waking gently. Pollen coats every surface like a yellow confession, the land saying: I've held this in all winter and I am done being careful about it. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/3-4-2026-mourning-a-loss #meditation #spirituality #druid #earth #nature #eco #gaia #brigid #pagan #trans #queer #lgbtq

🐙 𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘃𝗼𝗼𝗿 𝗱𝗲 𝗼𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗽𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻! Na jaren van actievoeren heeft het bedrijf Nueva Pescanova zijn plannen opgegeven om in het SpaanseGran Canaria de eerste industriële octopuskwekerij ter wereld op te richten. Deze beslissing is een enorme overwinning voor de #octopussen én voor de honderden organisaties – waaronder #GAIA –, wetenschappers en burgers die zich tegen dit project hebben verzet. #animalrights #vegan #animals #octopus

Today marks 107 years since the birth of #JamesLovelock and 4 years since he passed away.

Here is what April knows that we keep forgetting: the dogwood blooms by wounding. Each bract — what we call the petal — is a leaf that scarred itself open, a piece of tissue that tore at its margin and healed into something people drive across counties to witness. Guarded and radiant. Not one then the other. Both, in the same white face of the same flower, at the same time. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/3-4-2026-mourning-a-loss #meditation #spirituality #druid #earth #nature #eco #gaia #brigid #pagan #trans #queer #lgbtq

Mother of the earth, I am here. I come carrying two things today and they don't sit well together: the impulse to guard — to wall, to close, to cover the throat — and the radiance that keeps pushing up through the cracks like those damn redbud shoots that split asphalt. I lay them both here. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/3-4-2026-mourning-a-loss #meditation #spirituality #druid #earth #nature #eco #gaia #brigid #pagan #trans #queer #lgbtq
