If you have property with a lawn, I urge you to ditch the cult of pristine, uniform lawns and participate in not mowing for the month of may. This is great for our pollinators!!! Plus you may find you have beautiful native flowers and grasses once you stop stifling them out.
If you really want to go for it, you could not mow as often and not cut as low to preserve clover and other buds that otherwise would be cut down.

A lot of “native” wildflower mixes have tons of bullshit invasives in them - definitely look into what seeds you’re actually buying !! Also throwing out seeds/installing plants and then never going back to water them … not swag. That being said, I think it’s dope when done with intention and most cities have groups of gardeners committed to food justice and native plants that are helpful to link up with!

Ivy is invasive to my area and it's EVERYWHERE! It can be difficult and expensive to remove but it's a good thing to do and can even be a matter of safety. Sometimes ivy will basically choke a tree to death, which'll then potentially become a hazard to buildings and people nearby.
I can't recommend a reliable website to find your local invasive species right now, because the gov websites are dropping like flies. Sorry 😔💔
That said, if you can, make some time to research your local area's invasive species, native and keystone species!
It's really rewarding to learn about and act on! It makes you feel more grounded, doing a good thing with a tangible result. Especially with your hands and plants!

Humans have always danced. It is part of who we are, yet we have been conditioned to be self conscious, to think that we do not move our bodies good enough. Dancing is beyond judgement. Dancing is not a skill, it is our soul moving through our bodies, expressed in movement. Dancing is healing. Dancing is bodily autonomy. Dancing is FUN! Any feeling you are feeling can be moved through with dance yet even alone, you fear looking foolish. Kill the judge in your mind, shut the fuck up, and MOVE 🌊

In Tarot, The Fool is the first card in the Major Arcana, which represents the life cycle. These cycles we are continuously going through in our lives, not just once. The final card of the Major Arcana is The World (which I have tattooed very large on my thigh), which signifies the completion of a cycle and natural ascension into the next. We are then thrust back into the Fool, with a bit more wisdom.
The Fool as an archetype is one of joy, curiosity, spontaneity, and trust. The Fool is pure of heart, knowing that the Universe has got their back. This innate trust allows The Fool to be playful, to take risks, and truly believe everything will work out. The more we go through life and experience loss, grief, heartache, trauma, the harder it becomes to embrace this energy. I’ve found that as healing goes on, just as it’s shown in tarot, we return to this natural state of being. We start off as The Fool when we are wee little babies, and if we are lucky can return there a few cycles at a time, with more wisdom gained each time.
The goal of The Fool is to have positive experiences, maybe for fun, maybe to grow. There is an acceptance with The Fool, a kind of “this is what is, how can I make this work well for me?” Everything works out for The Fool because they don’t know it can’t. Anything we go through in life, we can use to grow. I personally believe we all could benefit embracing the archetypal energy of The Fool a bit more. The Fool doesn’t stop to worry what other people will think! The Fool does not fret about what if’s! The Fool is in the moment!
