Good morning kind readers:
Greetings, I hope you are all well. This is a two-page comic that I made a few days ago. I dropped off my son at school and on the way home along the winding road by the foothills of my town I channeled a message.
The world is going through a major shift. A recursion is happening and we must break out of the fractal pattern of power, colonization. We cannot simply vote our way out of this fractal, we cannot simply study our way out either. All suffering must be alchemized, transformed into true empowerment: interdependency, mutual aid, compassion, fierce and undeniable community. The more we pull our spirit guides into this work the more we will be able to do.
Over the years I have made erotica as a response to sexual violence against Asian and indigenous women. I have made comics on classism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism-- these 'isms are all tools of the Empire. They are used to keep us apart. As much as possible we must eradicate these "tools" within us and around us. This means a complete rejection of the systems that oppress (including this government) and a rejection of the colonizing tools found within us (our own internalized classism, racism, and so forth). No more mimicking the Empire, no more parroting its lies.
One of those lies is that the Dollar is God and our indigenous spiritualities are superstitions. The higher up in the socio-economic ladder you go, the more you will find the use of magick to control, to oppress, cause harm. The lower you go the more you will find magick and spiritual practices that aim to uplift, liberate, enrich.
Even if you don't currently have a spiritual practice, try speaking to your guides in your mind. If you're a BIPOC or other person of color you might find that ancestors and guides have been waiting for you this entire time. Your Queer neurodivergence allows easier access to the spiritual plane, FYI.
I will be teaching this spring in San Francisco five classes on how we can use our artistic abilities to tap into the spiritual world to fight this damn Empire.
