I wanna post astro musings here more regularly. But don’t quote me on that. Bc that means I’ll have to be accountable. And I don’t need that kinda responsibility, I’m damn near 40 and childless for a reason.
Aight we’ll see if this thought lasts past February… or today even.
Nsibidi is an ideographic writing system used across southeast Nigeria to southwest Cameroon for 💯s of years. I’m told it was even taught in schools in Igbo land before the war. The first time I ever heard of it was 2017….while at a museum…in Washington, DC. I was like how the fuck did I go to school in Igbo land but the first time I’m hearing bout a precolonial Igbo writing system is in a US museum??? (S/o to the work of Chike Aniakor and Ugochukwu-Smooth Nzewi) As soon as I saw nsibidi I fell in love with it and knew I wanted to put it on my body in some way. Ududo.🕷🕷🕷spider. Symbols of the divine feminine, receptivity and creativity. You can eat all you want if you build your web and are willing to wait. In Igbo cosmology Ududo Okwanka wove a web that created the universe and that web speaks to our interconnectedness. Spiders have been really sacred for me the past few years—so I decided to make a little web of my own. If anybody asks this shit means happy in Chinese.

Posted @withregram • @bighormone Our new episode has dropped for your thirsty ears, featuring special guest expert astrologer and comedian @odinaka (former best friend of @hermescorppus current best friend of @orpheusosiris ) to talk about the astrology and its crossovers with Enneagram. I’ve done a formal session with him since we recorded and his ability to interpret a natal chart is mind blowing. #enneagram #bighormoneenneagram #enneagrampodcast #enneagrammemes #podcast #sexualtype #selfpreservationtype #socialtype #enneagraminstincts #psychology #personalitytypes #enneagramcoach #meditation #empath #mbti #astrology #astro #zodiac #zodiacsign #astrologer #astrologersofinstagram #astrologersofig #pluto #saturn #blacklivesmatter #defundthepolice #retrograde (at Prince’s “Game, Blouses” House of Pancakes and Interplanetary Funkstation) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCJ_ZfQB-D5/?igshid=8wsztrcbp7zk

Posted @withregram • @mezcalmami3000 I have always known @odinaka as a stand-up comedian who even performed on The Hoodoisie, was on Easy on Netflix and is conscientious and fun to be around. Last week, he announced on Instagram he’d been studying astrology for years and is reading charts for $30. I was like, “Uhm, can this bitch really read charts,” and, like, “Okay, I wanna support, let’s see.” I just spent 90 minutes Facetiming with Odinaka as he read my astrological chart. It was the best use and most soothing time I spent during this self-quarantining moment. Most of you know that I am not new to astrology, I have been following it since I was in high school. But, even given that, I learned so much from this reading about astrology–and about my self. It put into perspective hardships and other events I had experienced the past several years and oriented me for the new few. It also allowed me to clearly identify and consciously connect with my strengths as an artist and person and gave me clarity on more complicated career terrain that I’m traversing. But, the fact that Odi’s reading grounded these current events in ways that allowed me to make connections with my childhood, family, and love and relationships, was arguably better than any therapy I got in the last year.
We definitely got the time and if you got the money, slide in this boy’s DM’s and get him to read your chart. And keep an eye out for his upcoming astrology talk show due once the Coronavirus lets up.
Here’s a screenshot I took during our reading because I knew I wanted to share this experience with you… (at MAMI WATA) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-WBSkYARo1/?igshid=zklu2mlke94f

Welp! The @dimlandmovie Kickstarter is fully funded. $10,000+ from ~150 backers. All going to the costs of post production. That’s a lot of love right there. @pccfilms I salute 🖖🏾Thank you all so much! I expect this same level of support when the Kickstarter for my new hairline surgery launches in the fall #hairdownmybackandmyeyebrows #jamiefoxxflow #anythingispossible #goforyourdreams https://www.instagram.com/p/B12BKC8gzcO/?igshid=dryo68t2s203
I call @pccfilms a dream architect. We met last summer in the photobooth of a friend’s bar. 3 months later he told me he was making his first feature film and wanted me to be in it. I’d never done a movie before, I’d never done anything with Peter before. He’d made some cool music videos for rappers I liked like Saba and Towkio. I said yes off vibes. We rehearsed our asses off and drove to the mountains of Asheville North Carolina for a few weeks. 6-7 of us slept on air mattresses in a 2 bedroom cabin and made art. 10 month’s later the movie’s done and most miraculously we’re all great friends now. It’d be awesome for you to see what we’ve made but we need your help to get to the finish line. Please Donate to our Kickstarter. Any sheckle is appreciated. We are already really close. Be a part of the dream ✨ Link in bio.
