-[Authors Note: This was recorded in September 2024. If you hear us mentioning the October Eclipse and saying to yourself ‘girl that already happened', it’s because the weapons formed against me prospered again. I haven’t been able to sit down to write this until now given the election and needing to get that pod up first (a lot was happening on the back end here last month.) Also, I know in our Substack chat I said I would post this the day after the election.... ignore that. I’M SORRY!! That being said, I appreciate y’all for being so patient and understanding with these constantly moving deadlines that I put on myself. As such, I made sure to take my laptop to Aruba and hunker down in the dead of night in my hotel room to finally get this out for y’all whilst on vacation. Y’all waited enough, the beach can wait too. Thank you all for being here as always :) Enjoy!! ]
WELCOME BACK EVERYONE! 💉😷🏥🩻👩🏽⚕️🩺
How has everyone been holding up since the election? I hope the anxiety it might have produced is at a level 2 at most, especially if you’ve been with us for a while and had some foresight to soothe the panic. We’re coming straight from our last pod, in which we theorized how RFK Jr. would turn out to be the wildcard that we said he could be if his potent election day astrology due to the transiting Gemini Jupiter conjuncting his natal Jupiter manifests as the shocking factor in Trump’s presidential win. And now the news has broken that Trump has selected him to serve as head of the Department of Health and Human Services. I hate how on-the-nose astrology can be sometimes.
Flu season is upon us, but has it ever truly taken a break since lockdown in 2020? As we stated in the first pod, the two astrological points of note for our analysis since the start have been the April Total Solar Eclipse and the upcoming 2025 transit in which Uranus will move into Tropical Gemini. Being that astrology has a tendency of being extremely literal, all things air-related will be of extreme significance once Uranus shifts signs come next July of 2025. And with COVID, Bird Flu, and pollution caused by climate change disasters impacting the collective when it comes to our air quality during the final degrees of Uranus in Taurus, taking precaution with your health as it pertains to airborne viruses, pollution, and disease over the next decade when we’re in the throes of Uranus in Gemini will be paramount.
For this pod, we sat down with our incredible mutual and guest speaker Mystic Manjari, delving into all things COVID-19 related through a Vedic perspective covering how we got here, where we’re at as a collective, and how to prepare health wise for the upcoming transits headed our way.

Sidereal Saturn in Capricorn and the The Sade Sati of the United States
In Vedic astrology, Sade Sati signifies the seven and a half year period when Saturn passes through the 1st, 2nd, and 12th houses from the natal moon in a specific chart (the United States has a 3rd House moon.) The United States’ Sade Sati marks an uncomfortable period where we’re faced with limitations, restrictions, and hardship during the process of karmic reckoning. Within the context of COVID-19 in the natal chart of the United States, this period has manifested in unavoidable irreversible change for our collective health.
A Brief Astrological COVID Timeline
January 24th, 2020 — Saturn enters sidereal Capricorn, beginning of the United States Sade Sati. Wuhan lockdown came in effect a few days afterwards.
February 11th, 2020 — Ketu (South Node) ingresses into sidereal Sagittarius Mula. Every time Ketu passes over the United States’ ascendant, we experience an event that completely transforms us as a country (the last time Ketu transited over the United States’ ascendant was during the Twin Tower attacks on September 11th, 2001).
February 25th, 2020 — Pluto shifts into sidereal Capricorn, signifying the start of the United States Pluto Return.
Saturn is associated with authority, restriction, and institutions, and as such, defiance over governmental or authoritative restrictions has been a central theme during the pandemic. When Saturn was in sidereal Capricorn from January 2020 to January 2023, folks in the US were desperate to return to a sense of pre-COVID normalcy (whatever that looked like) to cope with ‘the tyranny of lockdown’. Mind you, the tyranny in question was being required to wear surgical masks to prevent death from a level 3 pathogen. Even if people weren’t taking to the streets to protest masks and vaccines, the majority of the country to varying degrees felt some sort of resentment for whatever shambolic restrictions for our collective health were implemented during lockdown. Instead of walking on stage to collect a diploma, college students celebrated Zoom graduation. Senior year festivities for high school and college students alike were canceled, and weddings had to be conducted in backyards with a handful of trusted and masked individuals. The effects of going through these Saturnian restrictions for our health are still talked about four years later, with the majority of folks feeling like time (Saturn) during lockdown stunted them the first year of the pandemic.
Defiance for authority and the government can manifest in several ways. On one hand, defiance of authority during lockdown resulted in social justice and liberation movements as seen in the early iterations of the Black Lives Matter revolts of 2020. In the case of anti-maskers, defiance resulted in the masses engaging in collective individualism, where restriction in the form of mandatory lockdowns in a nation that emphasizes personal freedom above all else truly felt like the end of the world. Saturn applies pressure internally, and since 2020 folks have either felt the pressure to conform for their health, or the pressure to conform for social validation in pretending that COVID is over. Mask protocols were called ‘governmental tyranny’, and vaccines to promote herd immunity to protect immunocompromised folks became the topic of conspiratorial thinking, in which millions of Americans refused and protested against being told what to do, even if it was in their best interest.
But as much as everyone wants to talk about the tyranny of lockdown, the reality is some folks haven’t done anything since the start. Biden (authority) gave everyone the green light to get back to work, mask mandates were removed, and now folks have to even ask healthcare workers to mask when going for a check-up. Yet when we faced actual Saturnian governmental tyranny in the form of police brutality and mask bans during the worst peaks of this pandemic, the concerns from folks who had been raising alarm bells over growing fascism fell on deaf ears. What would this country have looked like if our defiance of authority meant that everyone refused to go back to in-person work? What would this country have looked like if the masses signaled to the ruling class that they weren’t going to jeopardize the health and safety of their kids by sending them back to in-person schooling?
The damaging consequences of long COVID with Saturn in Capricorn and the US Sade Sati have already begun to manifest in our local everyday lives (3H). Stronger-smelling household cleaners are popping up due to a generally diminished sense of smell, young school-aged children are rapidly falling behind due to long COVID, and the workforce is now experiencing chronic fatigue impacting its ability to work. In the face of governmental rollbacks in healthcare and masking mandates, the US Sade Sati is asking us how are we choosing to build community and for what objectives. With the incoming Saturn in sidereal Aquarius transit, if the masses are collectivist-minded, powerful things can occur for the betterment of society. But if the masses are engaging in rampant individualism, nobody is steering the ship to stop us.
Saturn is the parent that lets you engage in dangerous playtime since you’ve been adamant about defying their warnings, only to say “I told you so” when you come back with bruises and scrapes on your knee. Pressure and restriction are never comfortable, and Saturn romps with joy imposing barriers to test your willpower. COVID during the Saturn in Capricorn and the US Sade Sati put pressure on us to look at our mortality and fear, asking us how we’re going to navigate that difficulty. For the folks that have continued to mask and engage in COVID-conscious practices since 2020, the incoming airborne shakeups that will manifest in unexpected and shocking ways as Uranus ingresses into Gemini will be a cakewalk, as we’ve had to move with this Saturnian discipline for the past four years. For the folks who have gone back to not masking, the incoming Saturn in Aquarius lessons for the collective are about to feel earth-shattering once the karmic consequences of failing to do what should have always been done start to come knocking on everyone’s door.
COVID and The Rahu Mahadasha of the United States
If you thought the Saturnian influence of the US Sade Sati holding us hostage for the past three years wasn’t rough enough, we’ve also been dealing with the insanity that is the US Rahu Mahadasha that has been in effect since September 2015 that will end in 2033.
During a mahadasha period, you will start to embody the planet presiding over the period. Rahu is the personification of chaos, consumption, obsession, illusions, desire, rebelliousness, and challenging authority by any means necessary. These inclinations can be exhibited in a number of ways, either bringing folks pain or pleasure depending on what desire is being chased. As such, in the midst of the United States’ Rahu Mahadasha, people began to indulge in nonstop consumerism, engaged in movements that challenged the structures of authority and were inclined to be socially rebellious.
The beginning of Donald Trump’s presidential run in 2015 (who unsurprisingly is a headless Ketuvian as a Magha moon native) coincided with the start of the United States’ Rahu Mahadasha. Right-wing extremists took great pleasure in no longer wanting to abide by the rules of what they viewed as post-Obama ‘liberal authority’ running the nation. Rahu stops at nothing to attain its goals and becomes fixated to the point of obsession to get what it wants, infamously displayed during the January 6th riots.
Since Trump’s initial presidential win in 2016, and now second victory in 2024, the illusion of the US as a progressive bastion of freedom and equality has been shattered on two major occasions, sending folks on the left of the ultra-right into a mental (rahu) spiral over their false version of reality not aligning with intrinsic nature of how this country has always operated on a legal, social and spiritual level. As a floating head with no body, Rahu is constantly insatiable — there’s nowhere for anything that it consumes to go. This hunger, for whatever one desires, is the driving force during a Rahu period. Being that Rahu is the bodiless floating head, the notion of fascists and liberals alike going ‘full mask off’ by exhibiting their true conservative ideologies being a running theme during this Rahu period is extremely fitting.
When it comes to COVID, the Rahu Mahadasha of the United States has undoubtedly served as the palace of illusions for American society. The malevolent effects of dealing with this country’s Rahu period can be seen in how the government and general collective have chosen to deal with this virus.
Rahu rules illusions and addiction, and what’s more addicting than entertaining a false reality to entertain your own delusions?
Similar to the core plot in The Matrix franchise, Rahu represents a choice between ignorance and reality. Rahu rules over maya, or the illusions of this material world. The response to the COVID-19 pandemic was a clear display of folks choosing to either accept hard truths or to be whisked away into denial and conspiratorial thinking. Acting like COVID is over, believing it’s just a mild infection, or thinking that we’re back to whatever sense of normalcy we had pre-pandemic is willful ignorance. The reality is that COVID is not ‘just a flu’ — it’s a level 3 pathogen that causes permanent brain damage, chronic fatigue, cognitive dysfunction, an increase of strokes, and a plethora of long-term neurological and musculoskeletal disorders that we still only have a fraction of insight on. Anxiety and mental health issues have also been at an all-time high due to long COVID, two Rahuvian themes that have entered the collective consciousness with increasingly less stigma since the start of the US Rahu Mahadasha. All of the above neurological debilitations are to be expected and intensify while the floating head of chaos continues to sit on the helm of the cosmological throne ruling over this country.
The Rahuvian choice of indulging in maya to remain blissfully ignorant or choosing to see past it to get to the heart of the issue continues to be an issue even post-lockdown. Since the beginning of the pandemic, folks were presented with two options: continue to indulge in pure American individualism, or shift into a conscious praxis of radical collective care. You yourself have had the daily choice of deciding to continue living in the illusions of comfort and denial in this capitalist world to cope with social and governmental collapse due to an airborne genocide. Or instead, you might have decided to see the reality of this genocidal colonial matrix for what it’s always been and made the conscious decision to engage in proactive health measures for yourself and the most vulnerable of society, even when ableist conformity pressures you not to.
As folks continue dabbling in maya by going anywhere and everywhere without a mask in sight and indulging in Rahuvian activities like maskless partying, attending super-spreader concerts, and engaging in social gatherings or workplace settings without any clean air or COVID preventative measures, the US Rahu Mahadasha will force folks to confront the delusions of returning to a false sense of normalcy head-on once Uranus moves into Gemini in July of 2025.
The long COVID folks thought they were immune from even after repeat infections will become a new generational trauma that folks still aren’t ready to look dead in the eye. Going on with one’s day without caring for the disabled, immunocompromised, or the elderly — without any acknowledgment that this virus never went anywhere in a desperate attempt to self-soothe — will not be able to be entertained for much longer. Deep self-analysis will have to be made. What false sense of comfort is gained from living in self-induced delusion over the way your government has no regard for whether you live or die? Why do you want to replicate this indifference and selfishness by choosing to neglect and endanger the vulnerable folks around you by refusing to mask? Does the false sense of approval from vanity and conformity outweigh the risk of permanent debilitating health effects? Will the illusion of ableist social acceptance protect you when the consequences of failing to protect each other from COVID (even when you had the autonomy and power to do so) come for everyone? These Rahuvian questions, as well as the consequences of copium exhibited by the majority of American society choosing to go maskless knowing it’s not in their or the collectives’ best interest, will be reckoned with sooner rather than later.
That being said, within the palace of illusions, the COVID-conscious community has been the last line of defense in the face of governmental abandonment, continuing to engage in one of the most resented forms of anarchy: protecting the disabled. Misinformation and disinformation campaigns have circulated since the start of this pandemic by our government to keep the unrelenting (Rahu) machine of American capitalism going. As the effects of long COVID begin to materialize in the near future, COVID-consciousness will serve as the foundation to an emerging world where folks who never thought about caring for the disabled will eventually become members of said community. Make no mistake, Rahu isn’t all bad. Rahuvian nature is deeply rebellious and future-oriented. Planting the seeds of radical collective care to grow before the harsh winter of generational disability falls on us is the beauty of Rahuvian foresight. When that rebelliousness is channeled for the collective good, Rahu has the unstoppable power to spread its disillusioned message of truth and shatter the false reality holding us back from growing.
A Rahu period normally ends in disillusionment for the majority of people. Once the rollercoaster of the Rahu period is over, they realize that it was all just a fabulous charade of smoke and mirrors. You’ll realize the illusions you were chasing have no substance, and you’re left with dealing with reality for what it truly is. All the chaos, disillusionment, and intensity make room for the light at the end of the tunnel, in which we will eventually be embraced by a Jupiter Mahadasha on the other side of it all.
The April Total Solar Eclipse in Revati and H5N1
If you’ve been with us since the very first pod/article we dropped back in February, you’ll know that reflecting on the 2024 April eclipse has been a central point of research for our astrological analysis that has provided much insight into the upcoming transits of 2025. Given that the next time we’ll experience a total solar eclipse will be two years from now, the themes surrounding the April eclipse are to be assessed with vigilance and foresight as it pertains to our collective health for the upcoming years.
The April total solar eclipse fell in the sign of sidereal Pisces (tropical Aries) under Revati, the final nakshatra of the zodiac. As Melissa pointed out in this episode, Revati’s ruling deity is the solar deity Pushan. His role is that of a psychopomp, or a soul guide, responsible for guiding souls to the underworld. He is occasionally described as driving the Sun in its course across the sky, which was more than evident in the ways he was the presiding deity driving the eclipsed sun across North America eight months ago. In addition to guiding deceased souls, Pushan is primarily tasked with ruling over flocks and herds of cattle.
In March 2024, H5N1 was reported for the first time in dairy cows on farms in Kansas and Texas, falling right in line with a direct pathway of the April Eclipse in Revati straight through Texas. Did I mention how literal astrology tends to be?
The April Eclipse in Revati, a sign signifying planting seeds for the future, has been asking how will we as a society choose to tend to the budding future that we’re nurturing every day? Are they seeds of indifference, conformity, and denial, or of kinship, vigilance, and foresight? The COVID-conscious community has been trying to tend to whatever is left of a healthy soil for social health by continuing to engage in proactive measures such as continuous masking, mask distribution, informing others on the long-term effects of repeated COVID infections, HEPA filter distribution, and mitigating the spread of COVID in public spaces with public filtration systems and air purifying measures. While folks have been planting the seeds of radical collective healthcare, the government has continued to toil the barren soil of negligence, ableism, and healthcare disasters in a desperate attempt to return to a false state of normalcy. We were all unfortunately forced to reap what our diabolical government had sown for us over the past three years, and with the threat of H5N1 on the horizon, the COVID safety measures that folks have abandoned will continue to serve as a lifeline to get us through the incoming endemic (or pandemic) of bird flu once Uranus moves into Gemini.
In a horrifying but unsurprising revelation of new governmental negligence, the CDC stops tracking cases of the flu every April, picking up only in October during traditional flu season. As such, they haven’t even been tracking the full extent of bird flu until recently. Shocker.
We’ve been well aware of the fact that this has been a very unconventional four years since lockdown, and have been monitoring the development of bird flu in the absence of the CDC for our own research. Being that Robert F Kennedy Jr. turned out to be a significant character who will shape the future of the American political landscape like we thought he would, we will make a dedicated post following this pod detailing all of our thoughts and predictions specifically on H5N1 that we’ve been tracking since the April eclipse. All we will say in the meantime is to start mapping out your victory gardens and tapping into community food justice initiatives before the anniversary of this year’s April eclipse.
Disability Justice as Our Lifeline in a Dying Empire
Being one of the few, if not only people, in a room, train car, or party who is masked is always a deeply jarring experience, and one that never gets any easier. The social divide between folks who’ve stopped masking (or have have always refused to mask) vs the folks who continue masking to protect themselves and the folks on the peripheries that this fascist government hoped would be wiped out faster with the initial misinformation surrounding this virus is more apparent than it was pre-lockdown. In addition to the apathy over millions of lives lost, we’ve all been burdened with frustration, anxiety, and trauma after experiencing global death due to this virus has never been properly grieved. The only acknowledgments of essential workers who continue to risk their health and lives to keep society functioning were merely offered a few moments or pathetic applause without any material assistance, or daily harassment from folks who continue to this day to deny the reality of COVID. Neither were sufficient responses in dealing with this virus that has shaped our country and world forever.
Fast forward to 2024, the aftermath of the disaster response to Hurricane Helene in Appalachia back in September showed us that not only does this country have no concern for death via manufacturing genocide abroad, but that the government also has no regard for the internal genocide of citizens within this settler state either. From the lack of sufficient governmental aid, $750 emergency funds in the wake of people losing their homes, and sending police to prevent folks from taking food and supplies from grocery stores even in the midst of environmental destruction, we’ve seen that whether it’s a natural or manmade disaster, sidereal Saturn in Capricorn has exposed how diabolical authority can manifest in times when community power is what will save us in the end.
The lack of concern for clean air or the disabled community exhibited by folks during the pandemic was the foreshadowing of how folks would handle airborne health disasters to come. All the scenarios for how folks could navigate social collapse that were first battle-tested by the general response to COVID-19 spun the block again in the wake of Hurricane Helene. The lack of safety regulations on factories producing harmful chemicals resulted in chlorine gas stretching for miles due to the Atlanta bio-lab explosion, resulting in toxic air and acid rain that will impact the water, plants, animals, and people in surrounding areas. As such, folks resorted back to masking and taking the air quality in their homes seriously again. The folks who never had to think about disability justice suddenly had to rely on their neighbors and strangers to get the medication needed to survive when all the roads had been destroyed during Helene. Disability justice being an afterthought, even when the world experienced millions of people dying from a lack of collectivist health measures, was suddenly paramount in making sure their loved ones had access to vital medication when roads became inaccessible.
Folks have been struggling with experiencing minor refugee scenarios in the wake of governmental abandonment, and the community that came about as a response to the latest episode of abandonment in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene gave us another sneak peek at our ability to lean on each other to navigate social upheaval. From the ways that folks in Appalachia rode on horseback to deliver insulin and other lifesaving medication to folks who lost everything, to the folks offering alternative transportation measures to folks who had been left to die from being stranded, disabled, and COVID-conscious communities have been the canaries in the coal mines for years teaching us how prioritizing collective effort into the health of society is the bedrock to a safe, healthy and liberated society.
The beautiful thing about the cyclical nature of time is that nothing is ever truly new. And boy are we on some heavily borrowed time. We aren’t the first people to experience plagues, war, fires, and famine. We aren’t the first people to experience governmental and social collapse. This is just our current chapter in dealing with these themes in our lifetime. There are lessons written in the patterns of the cosmos that are always present for us to reflect, study, and adopt when such events come around the bend in our lives.
Ketu in Mula transiting the United States’ ascendant has been a reckoning event, showing us glimpses of events related to the past, but primarily things our that our ancestors did. How have we learned from the 1918 Spanish Flu, where we experienced the same sidereal Gemini/Sagittarius nodal axis but this time in reverse? How have we adopted the same strategies of collective healthcare and disease prevention, and how have we not? What have some of us refused to learn from the past in a delusional stretch of hubris, only to be sent to our knees from the lessons sidereal Saturn in Capricorn is forcing us to master as it ingresses into Aquarius?
As the external pressure of COVID during the United States’ Sade Sati keeps whacking us, coupled with the chaos and shattering of illusions that will continue during the US Rahu Mahadasha, we will be faced with a vital question: what is our collective mentality? Are we moving as a unit to protect each other? Or are we moving to protect the elites, institutions, and whatever illusions of comfort they falsely promise us? What is in your best interest? Do you have the discernment to know what’s an act of necessary defiance or an act of selfish ignorance? We will all experience the wake-up calls knocking at our door from sidereal Saturn in Capricorn as they pass the torch of restriction and karma over to sidereal Saturn in Aquarius.
The only thing to fear is fear itself, and power in the hands of the people (Pluto in Aquarius) will also reflect the consciousness of the people. As humans, we have the extraordinary ability to gather quickly and invest great effort for the things we believe are important to us. Are folks ready to take back their autonomy to build a liberated, free, and healthy world, or will they invest their time and energy in enforcing the same illogical oppressive restrictions on folks on behalf of the elites as seen when Appalachia rescue teams were prevented from saving folks who were stranded in the mountains? Saturn is currently putting pressure on the United States’ 3rd House moon. Whether folks want to or not, leaning on your local community, and learning from the folks who have had to live in the cracks to survive is where we’ll find our life source. As natural disasters and airborne disasters continue to intensify in shocking and unpredictable ways with Uranus in Gemini, people are going to have to help each other in disaster responses.
As a Rahuvian who experienced their Rahu Mahadasha from the moment I came into this world until the end of my 11th year, please believe me when I say this: IT GETS BETTER !!!! I can tell you from experience that Rahu transformations are no joke. It’s a purification process born out of chaos where once you’re on the other side, you will look at the shell of your former self in disbelief with the number of lies, illusions, and facades you indulged that distracted you from the harsh truths of this world and of your own uninformed beliefs. This moment in time is our collective dark night of the soul, and we’re all bound to each other in navigating this transformation.
We will come out on the other end of this Sade Sati and Rahu period wiser, refined, matured, equipped with the knowledge and tools we acquired necessary to get through this chaotic period, ready to implement our lessons for the rest of our lives knowing that the tumultuous experience we endured molded us into resilient beings capable of navigating the roughest of storms.
✧ Uranus in Gemini: COVID-19 + Airborne Illness Predictions
Increase in airborne viruses and pandemics/epidemics due to negligence from the federal government
Rollbacks in FDA and CDC measures to get folks back into capitalist overdrive exacerbate the current COVID pandemic
Airborne diseases like H5N1 first discovered on industrial farming sites begin to impact the nation, creating another factor in the new incoming burst of white flight from cities
Bird flu (H5N1) prompts folks to take their health and disability justice seriously as the government de-regulates multiple health and food industries
Climate disasters and environmental racism increase airborne health issues
Destruction from climate catastrophes exacerbated and induced by the US military and IDF increasing global pollution and poor air quality
New diseases transmitted via the air after emerging due to climate change
Wildfires and damaged industrial sites contaminate the air as climate change worsens
Health effects from environmental racism become more widespread
Effects of long COVID start to manifest globally
longterm effects from repeated COVID infections start to become widespread and can no longer be ignored by folks who have been asymptomatic or indifferent to frequent infections
Neurological issues start to present themselves in daily life, affecting traditional workplace, education, and social structures
Disability and environmental justice become central to community building
National and global disability spurs alternative and inclusive means of community building when traditional ableist structures continue to leave folks to fend for themselves
Collectivist modes of community support become the backbone of society again as folks are pushed out or cannot exist in the capitalist workplace any longer
Prioritizing clean air in the home, public and environment becomes an essential focus
New innovations and breakthroughs in cleaning up the the earth’s air and atmosphere become priority
Masking becomes a mandatory tenant of community building and organizing
Breakthroughs in long COVID treatments and neurological studies
New clinical trials rapidly increase to treat neurological and musculoskeletal damage or find a cure for long COVID as well as other neurological issues
Unorthodox and potentially unethical studies and trials on the brain and consciousness emerge as folks seek to return to their formerly abled bodies
Studies on psychedelics and alternative states of consciousness become of peak interest, resulting in breakthrough discoveries
Respirators/masks entering widespread fashion consciousness
Masking becomes an essential part of daily wear without the previous social stigma
More advanced and industrial forms of masking become common due to toxic and polluted air from wildfires, chemicals, diseases, etc.
Thank you guys for tuning in! Please get vaccinated and mask up. Seriously. If you have the resources, invest in quality air filters for your home ASAP. Stock on up masks if you haven’t done so, and if they’re not within your budget please check out some local mask blocs near your area that can provide some to you and your community for free. Our next pod will be the future of education during these upcoming transits, because LORD knows we’ve mentioned it enough, especially now that That Man is in office, it’s gonna be a circus for the foreseeable future, but we will get through it.
With Thanksgiving around the corner, I cannot urge you all enough to stay consistently masking, especially if you’ll be dining around folks who have chosen to live as though we aren’t still in the midst of a global pandemic. If you haven’t already and have the funds invest in a Covixyl spray subscription for when you know you might need to be maskless and take two good pumps before taking a seat at the dinner table next week. Give a bottle to a friend or family member. Look after yourself and your community, even if everyone around you is trying to pressure you into delusional apathy. Our capacity for consistent care is the only way we’ll get through these upcoming years.
Thank you all again for your support and patience in getting this out to you all. Let us know your thoughts, questions, and comments PLEASE we love hearing from you all! We will catch you at the next pod this month, stay healthy stay safe, and look after each other :) ˗ˏˋ ♡ ˎˊ˗
