I have no menorah candles and am rampantly under the weather and just got my periodic table and blew out all the electricity in my house and am biting my knuckles over the Alabama election and and and. Still I feel it. The light in the dark is always present, and miracles are everywhere we look, even America 5778. Chag Urim Sameach.

Update: In a true Chanukah miracle, Doug Jones won! Ain’t no dreidel party like a fuck-you-GOP party!



Venus in Scorpio, Jupiter in Scorpio, Sun in Scorpio, new moon in Scorpio. With all these planets in the sign of reckoning and power, you can feel the ground shifting beneath your feet even if you don’t believe in astrology. In our individual lives, in our country, in the heavens themselves, what lurks below has been exploding in our faces for months now. But with Scorpio now looming in planets of love and manifestation, identity and emotionality, we’re finally seeing the power balance shift—-to glimpse the fetid core of patriarchy itself.
