Today’s card is the Hanged One - self care your way. Time to step back and listen to your mind and body telling you what you need. It might be inconvenient or even involve a personal sacrifice of some kind but freeing yourself from expectations - yours and others - is part of the exercise

Advantages of asking questions in the team group chat: Quickly and easily reaches everyone in the team Disadvantages of asking questions in the team group chat: No one will ever answer them ever

Today’s card is the Seven of Wands, fighting for herself. Your fiery drive has got you here and it’s that same fire that gives you energy to stand and defend yourself. Don’t let others sow seeds of doubt or make you feel less. You deserve to be here. Fight back

Boss’ Boss: So do we think we’ll make the hard deadline for [big project]? Devs: lolnope Devs: We started late, the high-level design is still changing. We were told to ignore that and just start developing Boss’ Boss: And have you raised this with the project team? A Dev: I gave them my estimated timelines, told them they were ambutious, and they just moved them all to the left

Today’s card is the Three of Wands, ready to start work. You’ve got a solid strategy and your plans are all in place. Time to start making those dreams into material reality

My GP seems finally to have decided to stop messing me about and prescribe a decent amount of patches on a repeatable prescription

Good morning fedi. I should probably stop lying in bed fiddling with my phone and go be useful

Today’s card is the Three of Cups - friendship, celebration, shared joy. It’s a day to tell your friends what they mean to you, celebrate their achievements, and celebrate yours with them. The joy we share sustains us and gives us power

Good evening fedi. Looks like weirder.earth’s back online - many thanks to the admins who dealt with what sounds like a messy patching/upgrade situation

Today’s card is the Two of Cups - friendship, partnership, new relationship energy. When you meet someone you click with as a comrade, friend, or lover, then everything’s suddenly easy. Follow the joy in this new connection and see where it takes you

Today’s card is the King of Wands, confident and commanding. The King is sure of their skills and of their plans, it’s natural to them that others should follow their lead. Their certainty makes them honest and direct, but also intolerant of doubt or weakness. If the King is you then it’s time to step up and take charge. You’ve got the skills you need and the will to get things moving - no need to wait

If the stickers are sticky enough, it doesn’t matter that they get removed :-)

Just finished an accidental readthrough - with heavy skimming - of basically all the Warhammer 40k ttrpg material Fantasy Flight Games produced back in the 2010s. Which is what happens when you’re finding your Designated Book unsatisfactory and go looking for distraction

Hello fedi, by the way 👋💜 I feel like I’ve been struggling with updates for a while now. Which is partly low energy and partly that a lot of what I’m doing outside of work isn’t really for public posting - too personal, or activism, or polycule stuff. Tarot posting and the occasional work complaint are what’s left. But life’s good overall, if sometimes busy or stressful

Today’s card is the Seven of Pentacles - rest after work. Time to step away from whatever you’ve been doing and take a moment to relax. Maybe it’s all going well; maybe you’re stuck or getting diminishing returns for your efforts. Either way, a break will give you a fresh perspective when you return

Today’s card is the Moon, bringing strange things out of the dark. Awoo! The Moon’s light shines on things normally hidden, bringing restless energy and wild impulses from the unconscious. If you follow them you may learn things - but take care. Not every path under the Moon is a safe one
-
Post #2477442
Today’s card is the Eight of Swords - a bad spot to be in. You’re feeling trapped, like there’s no good options and nothing to do about it. But if you could see clearly - if you weren’t confused by distractions and false consciousness - you’d see you’re not as helpless as you think. Shift your perspective; share your experience with others. You’ll find a way forward

Today’s card is the Nine of Wands, ready for a fight. Stand your ground and don’t compromise. There’s a battle ahead but you have the strength and courage to win it

Today’s card is Strength. Difficult problems require strength and willpower. Strength has the courage to face her fears, unwanted feelings, and the passions that threaten to spiral out of control. Accepting them with grace she has no need to fight for control. This is true strength, and true courage

Waiting at the crossing on my way to get a bus home from work and someone taps me on the shoulder. They’re from one of the buildings nearby - they saw me put up a trans flag sticker a couple of weeks ago and do I have any spare? I give them a small selection from the outside pocket of my handbag :heart_trans:

Met a nice older lady in an outfit that read somewhere on the cyclist - conservation volunteer - eco activist continuum on my way out. She asked if I knew [name]. I didn’t. [Name] is apparently a guerrilla gardener who’d said one of their friends had moved into my block a while ago. Evidently I give off an activist aura even when I’m dressed up to go out :blob_anar_raccoon:

Today’s card is the Four of Wands - a break from the work. “The vanguard demands that the revolution go on forever and so demands that the celebration only be planned, never enacted.” But not only the vanguard. No work is worth sacrificing your entire happiness for. Make time for joy in the here and now
-
Post #2244775
Today’s card is the Queen of Swords, with clear sight and a sharp mind. With her unflinching perception, the Queen can cut to the truth of the matter in seconds. But although she can be blunt, she doesn’t lack compassion. She’s experienced her own trials and she’s able to the situation entire. If the Queen is you, it’s time to set your emotions aside and apply that honesty - and compassion

Another mixup over days/times with my therapist. I think we’re in one of those situations where our respective tendencies to mild flakiness are amplifying each other

Me: *logs on unsuspectingly* Union Exec Colleague: About 40,000 words of exec chat and two major crises ago I suggested you ask HR if they’d done an equality impact assessment on some proposed course cuts. Did you ever get a proper response? Maybe we can raise a grievance about it. Have you ever done that before? I think there’s a form on the intranet
