Daily reminder that people non-binary and agender people are valid and deserve our solidarity and support.

Finally got my copy of Becoming Dangerous. It came with a bookplate, which I’ve filled in with my new chosen names. A small ritual, but significant.

Today's card is the Agent of Wires. Energy. Passion. Impulsiveness. "I take care of things while you all stand around discussing the fine details."
A good day to find things to do that are more fun than work, perhaps.

Today's card is the Executive of Vials. Balance. Generosity. Emotional intelligence. ""Maintain composure. Without a collected self, you can't do anyone else any good."

“When there was nowhere left to go, I went west. Twenty-six days before, I saw my last road - nothing more than a dirt track, really - and I went past it, and up. Two mountains. A river so large I didn’t think I'd be able to cross it. A field of yellowed grass as far as I could see. Now, here is here. And still the world goes west. My sat-phone stopped working somewhere before Rikaze and I threw it away. I haven’t eaten since the road, but I feel fine. The map said as much.”

Today's card is the Two of Wires, inverted. Complacency. Stagnation. Cute cats on the social feeds... I'll take those, anyway.

Today's card: Page of IT Support. Exasperation. Burn-out. "I wish my desk was that big, and mobile."

Today's card is the Six of Arms, reversed. Baggage, stasis, dwelling.

"You can cross the river but to do so you must first buy passage on the ship. All it costs is everything you know and have now."

Feels more like a perpetual mood than a daily thing.

Today's mood: Sredni Vashtar

Today's card is the Apprentice of Zent (opportunity, new work, spiritual bounty) but I'm not feeling it.

(Today's work mood is bad pop music, week-old nail polish, and the Eight of Arms reversed.)

"He cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills. He is like a many-legged goat, and he standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, shewing himself through the lattice, horned in glory."

Today's card: Fourteen of cavies. Communism will win.

(I think daily draws aren't really working for me. There's not that much variety in my working life and it makes it difficult to connect with the cards. Need a new system, I think. Maybe a weekly spread?)

Today's card is Fortune, reversed. Bad luck. Time to be cautious and concentrate on the things you have control over.

Today’s card is the Eight of Arms, reversed. Freedom, clarity, agency, self-acceptance. “I am not theirs to inflict damage on, not any more, and none of us should be.”

Today’s card is the Apprentice of Zent, reversed. Setbacks, short-term focus, a project that may not be worth doing. A reminder to step back and reevaluate.

Start of another week at work, and today’s card is Temperance. Balance, calm, moderation, wisdom. Inner peace in chaotic times. A good start.
