Welcome to Week Forty-two, the first full week we’ll spend without the absolute legend that is Diane Keaton. Should we all watch First Wives Club together and weep?

At the very least, please join me in lighting a candle and reading some wisdom from a true icon:

“I never understood the idea that you’re supposed to mellow as you get older. Slowing down isn’t something I relate to at all. The goal is to continue in good and bad, all of it. To continue to express myself, particularly. To feel the world. To explore. To be with people. To take things far. To risk. To love. I just want to know more and see more.”1

These ending sure do hit harder in a 9 collective year, where every single daily, weekly, and monthly number is amplified. Due to the fact that 9 can essentially be canceled out in any reduction calculation it appears in (truly, try some out, i.e. 1+9 = 10, 1+0 = 1), every core number this year becomes more of itself. Magnified, and polarized. Embodying both sides of the coin at the same time.

Meaning for this week…

😈: Call Your Coven is all brand-new with The Rebis’s Hannah Levy — Meg and I had the express honor of sitting down with HWIC, Hannah Levy, for a gorgeous conversation about The Devil, creativity and self-care, and making anti-capitalist art in community.
