“To believe in magic is a choice” @thejinkx
“My belief when it comes to faith, spirituality, religion, whatever you define it as, is just as long as you chose it for yourself. You know, we’re having all this talk about things being imposed on kids and it’s finally starting to dawn on people. You know what gets imposed on kids without a word being said about it? Religion. Dogma. Something that could define the rest of your life. For real. So I’m just like, choose it for yourself and realize that everyone else gets to choose theirs for themselves too. But for me, everything comes down to rituals I do, you know, and I like to look at everything from a scientific point of view and then if I was looking at it from a magical or spiritual point of view, what would it be? And then I kind of like marry the two. And I always say that like to believe in magic is a choice, you know, I know how things scientifically work, but I also know that it makes me feel good to light incense and to say a little morning spell or whatever the ritual may be. And so it’s like when I thought about my Catholic upbringing and all of the things that made my family cry and feel guilty and ashamed to go to church was like the stuff at the church, but all of the stuff that we did at home, that was the way we empowered ourselves. And I was like, oh, that’s witchcraft. Like if I strip away the Catholicism, I was actually raised by witches. Once I realized that, I was like, oh, it doesn’t matter what it is. It just needs to be something that is part of the solution and not part of the problem. So for me, it’s all about rituals, daily rituals and making sure that I meet my daily needs so that I’m bringing my best to what I have to do that day. “

What is #pinkwashing? @erinaxelman co-director of @israelismfilm breaks it how #Israel portrays itself as a beacon for #LGBTQ folks when that is just not true. I believe most #lgbtqia folks will relate to this one.

You’ve heard of golden showers, but have you heard about “The Golden Handcuffs”?
@therealsararamirez breaks down why Hollywood is called #TheGoldenHandcuffs in that “there are a handful of people with the most power in that system, so it’s going to come with oppression. That’s the system of #Hollywood. Sara goes on to ask “What does a response look to an oppressive system when we choose to engage with capitalism through the entertainment industry. We better be ready to confront those systems and for many of us depending on where we are in our lives, what age we are, there does come a point in time where we’re done. We’re done playing along.”

Repost @_aljazeeraworld During the Israeli attacks on Gaza in July 2014, Palestinian cameraman Khaled Hamad filmed the air raids on Shujayea, ultimately giving his life to capture Israel’s bombing of civilians. Khaled’s camera tragically filmed the moment when he and paramedic Fouad Jaber came under fatal attack.

“Life is an everlasting struggle with ourselves. It is a tug-of-war between moving forward and regressing, between happiness and unhappiness. Outstanding individuals didn’t become great overnight. They discipline themselves to overcome their weaknesses, to conquer their lack of caring and motivation, until they became true victors in life. One reason Buddhist chant Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day is to develop strong will and discipline and the ability to tackle any problem seriously with the determination to overcome it.” #daisakuikeda #Buddhism day by day Wisdom for Modern Life – March 4th #NMRK @nowangelicapodcast

#NOWplaying “Fierce” @ultranatemusic @angelicaross and @themilajam
Tune into @nowangelicapodcast as I finally speak on WHY I pulled out of promoting this incredible project. I was used and taken advantage of by the producers of the song. I lost business relationships because of them and also lost a lot of money.
But I’m eternally grateful for the experience of making the music video especially because of @frankgatson @iamsikora @sikoraent & @crowdmgmt each of them are EXCEPTIONAL with everything they brought to the table.
But I’m tired of having to fight a silent battle behind the scenes and dealing with folks trying to get money from me thru extortion. I refuse. So let me show you what #Fierce means to me ❤️🔥
ALL NEW EPISODE! Here’s your Buddhist Breadcrumb for the week on “Time & Capacity” – I’ve talked about this often with my friends, but this has really been one of those helpful #Buddhist lessons for me personally. Often we ask ourselves, when is the right time to do something? To take action or to speak up? In #Nichiren Buddhism, the time is always now, no opportunity wasted. But what varies is the capacity, both our own capacity and the capacity of the environment and the people in it. So one way to make the most out of every single opportunity is to take a second and assess the time and capacity. Do the people that you’re engaging with have the capacity to take in all that you have to offer? How much time do you have? Or energy or capacity do you have to offer? Because sometimes we can pour into people that have the capacity and sometimes we find ourselves pouring into people who don’t have the capacity to receive what we’re trying to offer. But with practice, you can become a person who is in perfect measure with their response to life and to the people in your lives. So this week, I want you to make the most out of each moment by taking a second to assess your capacity and the capacity of the environment that you’re in, and then take action to do the best of your ability. No opportunity wasted. #NMRK @nowangelicapodcast

Are we #friends or #frenemies?
“Chang-an writes, ‘If one befriends another person but lacks the mercy to correct him, one is in fact his enemy.” The consequences of a grave offense are extremely difficult to erase. The most important thing is to continually strengthen our wish to benefit others.” – Nichiren

NOW…A Buddhist Breadcrumb
@nowangelicapodcast
“One who listens to a sentence or even a phrase of the sutra and cherishes it deep in one’s heart may be likened to a ship that crosses the sea of sufferings of birth and death. The great teacher Miao-Lo stated,
‘Even in a single phrase cherished deep in one’s heart will without fail help one reach the opposite shore. To ponder one phrase and practice it, is to exercise navigation.’”- #Nichiren

#CisLash “Just as we’ve experienced white lash. What we are experiencing is a sort of cis lash where Black men, since the civil rights movement have failed to lead, meaning if you ask them, they are the ones who have been God ordained to be leaders in the Black family unit and the Black community. But we still have not crossed that line of liberation…So many Black men see liberation as capitalistic success, as financial success and not actual freedom for women to actually have freedom outside of their control, have queer people have freedom outside of their control. So what you are also seeing here is that our true liberation is coming from queer and trans people, queer, black and trans people. We’re the ones who are at every Black Lives Matter rally as well. All of the intersections of social justice, you’re realizing that whether it was Bayard Rustin, whether it was Marsha P. Johnson, like there’s so many of us, James Baldwin, Audre Lorde, there’s so many of us who our queer politics have been what has been the key to set us free. And I think what is really eating the girls up that their keys are not working. Keys that were handed down to them, but I don’t know if they haven’t heard, those are the master’s keys.” – @angelicaross
“Right, right. I was gonna say like, they’re trying to get into the wrong house in the first place like they don’t even know where they’re going.” – @johodaniels
“And I’ve said this, a lot of folks don’t want liberation, they want privilege. And that’s what it comes down to. A lot of them just want that privilege.” – @doctorjonpaul @blkfatfemmepod @nowangelicapodcast
