Moody Monday Heart Feels. Affirmations. Reminders. Reflections

Many of you know of my great love of Norman Jr, the Altadena werewolf that has come to mean so much to the Altadena community. After the fire, so much was destroyed - but Norman Junior represents so much that is still present in the Altadena community, humor, care, quirkiness. The original Norman perished in the Eaton fire but Norman Junior soon came to remind us of who we are and that even after immense tragedy, we can still find humor.

As someone who loves tattoos and has often used tattoo work as a means to process grief and trauma I knew at some point I’d need to get a tattoo of Norman Jr.

When I met Malia I knew she would be the perfect tattoo artist to bring my Norman Jr to reality. Malia is so wonderful to work with, her down to earth nature and compassion around what happened really made me feel comfortable getting this piece done.

Her depiction of Norman Jr was exactly what I wanted and am so happy with the piece, Malia has done many other brilliant pieces for me and this one has to be one of my favorites. It captures the beautiful poppies and sunflowers that are all over Altadena but also the fun spirit of Norman Jr.

Thank you for your beautiful spirit and for all the amazing pieces you have done for me but especially for Norman Jr.

The first pic is me and Norman Jr taken last month and the pics that follow are of my tattoo experience last week with the final pic of Malia and I after the piece was done.

Tattoos can be a powerful method for processing trauma and as a very tattooed therapist I can attest to how tattoos can be fun and silly but also deeply meaningful. Tattoos are not for everyone but for many tattoos provide a process for grief work.

Thank you again !!

Since the Eaton Fire, I do from time to time disappear on social media (insta specifically). My spirit hasn’t been the same- not good or bad - just changed and as such am just not as present online as often.

But still trying to connect with community (more in person lately when possible).

Anyhow my happy grounding space is spending time w animals. Besides the squirrels, raccoons and birds that I care for (to the dislike of my Karen neighbor who complains about it 🤣) I also care for these 5 cats (2 are mine) and my two doggos!

Animals provide such deep healing, they so often show us how it’s possible to find healing and to trust again. All my pets are rescues the other 3 cats I care for are strays. Am thankful to my friend who has been able to trap and get the one I call Burt Reynolds spayed. Next will be the cat I call Oscar Wild, he needs ✂️🥜. The other stray is always spayed.

A type of community care is trying to care for animals we share space with whether your pets or not. But if you do have pets PLEASE make sure you get them spayed or neutered!

There are many networks of people who provide trap and release services as well as many humane societies and local vets that offer free or low cost spay and neutering services.

So in order of pictures I share my loves, Burt Reynolds, HoneyBee, Foxy, Stevie Nicks, Oscar Wild, Baby Dulce and Poppy.

I call my pets the Coven and the outdoor ones have become part of the Coven although outside - well Burt Reynolds comes inside now to a separate space from my four.

Am grateful for their presence, the lessons on trust and the gift of learning how to care and love each one as they each have different needs. When a traumatized animal is able to trust you, even a tiny bit - it’s a reminder of our capacity for healing and learning new types of contact w other beings.

All y’all who weaponized “women’s liberation” to justify bombing the Middle East are real quiet right about now. Feminism is not a cover for empire.

When there is so much hurting and despair in the world, it is important to remember and KNOW there is resistance and love - and often that resistance and love comes to us though poets who gift us their medicinal words.

I was fortunate to be part of the group last week that received the gifts of love from at . I cried, others cried. I shared hugs with many.

And once again just thankful for the space that is - in some of the darkest of times it is a place for radical connection. Thank you Nikki for this space and especially for organizing this night with .

gave me the affirmation that I needed that night as last week was hard, harder than other weeks and he and the community in that space gave me the sustenance of support that I didn’t even know is what I needed.

Your words bring me comfort, your words are a balm on this ever wounded world. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am grateful you are in this world.

Last Friday February 20th, outside Edison International’s Black History Month celebration, community members, leaders, and allies spoke out for families displaced and harmed by Edison negligence.

“When your equipment destroys a community, the responsibility is clear. Close the financial gap. Restore what was lost. Make families whole. That is what accountability looks like.”

Altadena needs action now to have a Black future.

‼️‼️📢📢 WEDNESDAY FEB 25 at 11 AM ET/8 AM PT with the unbending comrade

IN SESSION #5: If it looks, feels, and acts like counterinsurgency, it’s probably counterinsurgency!

We will be talking all things counterinsurgency, analyzing the current psyops pressures and how they differ from the past, and his forthcoming book “Counterinsurgency Machine” coming out with next year!! Like all our conversations, we will be giving love to all the liberation and freedom fighters, past and present, incarcerated and “free”.

Dylan Rodríguez is a teacher, scholar, organizer and collaborator who has worked at the University of California-Riverside since 2001. Dylan’s lifework focuses on liberationist, anticolonial, and abolitionist confrontations with the antiblack, colonial, and white supremacist violences that permeate the ongoing Civilization project. He is devoted to studying and teaching the historical, collective genius of rebellion, survival, and insurgent futurity that radically challenge dominant forms of authority, power, and institutionality.
