the weekly rundown 5.5.25
intentions, mental health awareness month, and more...
Happy start to the week! My son is thankfully back to school after last week’s mystery bug, but this week is already feeling chaotic and it’s barely noon on Monday. I’m going to blame it on the weather in L.A. (which has been gloomy and is doing nothing to help sour moods and physical pain).
Let’s keep things short and sweet, shall we?
Intention ✨
No big transits this week, but we’re firmly in Taurus season, which is all about comfort, indulging ourselves, and staying rooted to what matters. There’s a lot of support out there, you just need to know where to find it. Along those lines, this week’s card was about CONNECTIONS
Mental Health Awareness Month 💚
May is mental health awareness month, and it’s a good reminder for all of us to re-prioritize ourselves.
To be raw for a minute (because what better place than my personal newsletter?), my mental health has been in a tough place for a little while now. I have my resources and support systems, but life is hard, especially for sensitive and neurodivergent individuals.
Sometimes when I’m feeling particularly rough, I make a list of things that make me happy to remind me that life isn’t so bleak. The good people at Fight Through Mental Health made one of their own for May, and it’s pretty lovely.
Be sure to follow their account for more mental health tips.
Happy Cinco de Mayo 🎉
Celebrate however feels right for you. The brilliant Franchesca Ramsey gifted us with a “cinco de mayo” edition of her classic “I never thought… the leopards will eat my face” and it features an LGBTQ Mariachi band! Be still my heart! (I’m sorry I still don’t know how to embed videos, pals!)
Happy Cinco from your Favorite Leopard Lady
Union Updates 📢
The WGAW staff won union recognition with 81% support! Woo hoo!
Listening 🎧
I have a feeling “Bring Me to Life” is going to be on a lot of people’s playlists this week. Thank goodness we live during the same time as Nathan Fielder (This is a spoiler for the Rehearsal)
Have a great week, everyone!
