Awww… You touched the surface of a thing, and finding no resistance there, mistook contact for penetration. How sweetly little you required of reality before declaring yourself inside it…
Between the 1500s and 1700s, women in Britain, Germany, and Scotland were punished with the Scold’s Bridle a cruel iron mask that locked around their head, pressed down or pierced their tongue, and forced them into public humiliation. Women labeled as “too talkative” or “disrespectful” were chained, paraded through the streets, and ridiculed.
This wasn’t just about keeping someone quiet—it was a tool of patriarchal control, designed to punish women who dared to speak, stand up, or defy male authority. Some masks even had bells so everyone could hear their arrival, turning their suffering into a spectacle. Today, surviving bridles in museums remind us how far societies went to silence women and why fighting misogyny and patriarchal control is still necessary.
Got lunch with a friend and then we sat by a body of water and talked. It was so great and truly getting out and genuinely connecting with people and being out in the sun is so beautiful !!

insane how focus and attention improved by an amount similar to reversing a whole decade of aging. if this isn’t enough to get you off the black magic device, i don’t know what is
you don’t even have to be so extreme, lowering your screentime little by little works wonders too
random but necessary reminder that nothing substantial could happen to you this venus retrograde. that’s always a possibility to consider, if you get anxious about these sorts of things
there’s people who go through transits in such mundane, overlooked ways. doesn’t have to be very dramatic or anything.
everyone’s chart is activated differently, maybe you don’t have a lot to take from the retrograde anyway. maybe something happens to someone you know & you deal with it through them & their experience. lots of possibilities! not just bad scary stuff. (plus, something really good could always happen to you too… consider that as well)
The best way to explain media illiteracy is: people don't engage with art anymore, they strictly consume it. Nobody wants to read into a character's complexity, if someone didn't like the ending to a show suddenly the entire series was terrible; you want to look, not connect.
