The last time I stared at the WordPress editor, it was the end of February. I was finishing up a big two–part series about the intentionality of healing wounded ancestral and familiar patterns during my progressed lunar return. Not long after, I vanish. I recognize all things have their cycle — my ability to sitContinue reading “The Hyperbolic Time Chamber (mini-update!)”

The Year I Turned 27, Part 1
Oh, youth. I remember the sweet, swan-song days of yore — it almost feels like yesterday that my only concerns were somewhere along the lines of being mad at how early I had to get up for school and not wanting to wear that one ugly hand-me-down sweater my mom got at the Mormon-run thriftContinue reading “The Year I Turned 27, Part 1”

My Presence is My Past: Your Saturn Return in Aquarius
Cover Image (c) Kelsey Smith I LOVE(D) the 90s. Mind you, I was only 5-6 years old at the turn of the new millennium, so my memory of things is warped by things a 5-6 year old would concern themselves with: the latest toys, not going to bed when I’m told, and trying my damndestContinue reading “My Presence is My Past: Your Saturn Return in Aquarius”

Cover Art (c) Georges Muchery Oh, Capricorns. Aren’t they so hardworking?

Vaporwave is Dead, Long Live Vaporwave: The Astrological Imprints of the Internet’s First-born Music Genre
Cover image (c) shorkiedokey Vaporwave. You might have seen it around if you’ve ever had a Tumblr, or frequent the underground music scene for the latest experimental trends. The name itself eludes a singular definition; it is instead stitched together from disparate parts of 80s and 90s pop, smooth jazz, funk, and chillwave — justContinue reading “Vaporwave is Dead, Long Live Vaporwave: The Astrological Imprints of the Internet’s First-born Music Genre”
