Mercury Retrograde is Retrograding Already.

I'm tied.

Hmmm... let's see. It's not even the 5th yet, when Murkcury is set to do her thing, and this is what's happened so far:


GLOBAL

  • The world thinks that Imane Khelif (Algeria) is a biological male because she beat Angela Carini (Italy) with one punch. The Daily Mail is one of the suckiest media platforms to exist. They are responsible for the dissemination of inaccuracy that began from idk where (I'll find out) and I truly hope everyone relies on them much less.

    • Opinions that Khelif is trans have been ethically and accurately debunked by the Washington Posts' article in which they stated, "...and there never has been evidence that either Khelif or Lin had XY chromosomes or elevated levels of testosterone." Goodbye.

PERSONAL

  • I met with a new doctor at my gyno who completely over-talked me and disregarded the information I was telling her about my body. She got into a rant about a program I should consider called "Beach Body" that talks about gut health (since I brought up hormones) and proceeded to go on a soapbox about how Americans don't know how to eat because "Dunkin'" "Chick Fil A" and "Taco Bell" do not serve real food. She said all this without asking me any personal questions besides, "do you eat a lot of sugar?" and when I answered saying I do have a sweet tooth but not really, asked me a second time, "but... do you eat a lot of sugar, though?" with her head tilted like a dog who understood exactly what you said the first time.

    • For some other things I had going on, she recommended I take boric acid. Allowing her medical opinion to supersede what I already know about my own body and how it doesn't like boric acid whatsoever- I did. And now I'm bleeding as if I'm on my period after inserting only one suppository.

    • And, for extra dextra context, without disclosing more of my health info as to why I was there, she was an uppity white lady and I am a Black and Rican woman. Unfortunately, we all know how this tends to go down in the exam room when the healthcare provider has no empathy or DEI training.


  • Communication with my mom tends to suck, but it's been even suckier. The end.


  • I've received communication regarding an ex out of the blue from someone I haven't spoken to in almost 2 years. What the fuck.


  • Oh, and I simply just feel shitty at this present time lol


BUT- I am trying to put my big girl panties on and withstand the weathering of this storm.


CONCLUSION

Considering that mercury retrograde is a thing because it appears as though it is spinning in the opposite direction in space, we (really speaking to me) should do our best to see things from a different perspective while our worlds may seem to do a 180º this month.


Sure, communication with some people you talk to may be shitty. You might even see more problems with cars (breaking down; accidents; etc). Your work computer might even give you some bullshit. But considering all things you have going on, is it really worth it to wyl out? (Ngl, it sure might feel like it).


Maybe we can locate that energy and push it into something else- like that lil content-creation project you've been sitting on. Go alchemize and be great.


Love u (and me).
