This episode kicks off with the wild energy of a solar eclipse at 29 degrees Virgo, pulling us into a cosmic purge while Saturn, Pluto, and Uranus stir up a kite-shaped storm of chaos. From rapture predictions to the mystical “red heifer” and the bizarre way ancient prophecies are steering modern politics, it’s like the whole planet has become one giant doomsday LARP. But we don’t just wallow—we swap survival tactics, from herbal dream brews and witchy home projects to astrological pep talks and Taylor Swift-fueled optimism. Somewhere between decoding authoritarian texts and embracing our inner Practical Magic aunts, we stumble into the Church of Gnomes—a delightfully weird reminder that if we’re going to feed collective belief systems, they might as well involve pointy hats and eco-friendly whimsy. Equal parts doomscroll antidote and cosmic comedy, this conversation dares to ask: when the world’s on fire, why not dance with gnomes and wear pointy hats?
Welcome to Feral Chrome
Speaker 1Welcome to the Feral Chrome Podcast . I'm Karen and I'm Debra , and we're inviting you to eavesdrop as we discuss today's solar eclipse and the impending rapture . I'm retreating into a dissociative fantasy world and I'm taking it all head on . So please settle in , grab a cup of whatever comforts you or a bowl of whatever comforts you , and let's go . Wow , you sound super enthused , karen .
Speaker 1It's really hard to explain my mental state right now . I'm , I realized on Friday I was trying to talk to my husband about some things and I realized I am probably , with the exception of like daily life functions , because I'm still like getting up and having coffee and doing my job and I am otherwise left the building . I am Rosemary Kibibi , the lights are on and nobody's home anymore . Well , the kittens are home . The kittens are like I posted on Facebook the other day . They are fully three quarters maybe more of my personality at this point and there is nothing wrong with that . There is absolutely nothing wrong with that . They are absolutely ridiculous and they are helping keep me around . I say that jokingly , but it's not entirely jokingly . Well , it's a good show out there . Nothing new , I mean . Well , actually there is some new stuff that I do want to talk about . Yeah , so we do have List Roulette . We've decided that's our thing , that's our format . So if any of the 10 of you don't like that , definitely you know , shoot us a text . You probably know us in person and we probably share dna . Yeah , it's a good chance . Yeah , if you hate that format , let us know .
Speaker 1I saw something the other day . It was like it was , I think I was listening to another podcast and the podcasters like well , we don't want to be on those podcasts when people just talk about themselves . And I was like , oh no , we don't . We talk about important things in the world . Yeah , share your list , deborah , and then I'll share mine . Okay , all right , my list is the red heifer , the kingdom of kirkdom , the Kingdom of Kirkdom , rapture Alert Again , sorry . Tarot Truth and the Orange Oops and the Partial Eclipse of the Heart . Wow , wow .
Speaker 1My list is Dissociation and Kindness , the Church of Gnomes , aunt francis , oh , and dream blend . Okay , I don't have five , so you don't have to have five , we just have what we have . We have . We need to make a wheel or something like oh , that we can spin . Yeah , so we could like pick , pick which , or a cootie catcher . Oh , we would have to send our lists in advance and then I would make a cootie catcher or I could oh wait , I probably have dice somewhere .
Speaker 1Do you have a dice ? A dice ? We can number the list and then roll a dice . Oh , that's a good idea . Let's do that all right , because I now play dnd with my son and so I have like dice . Okay , so number your list , I'm gonna number . I'm the oldest , so I get to be one through four , um , and then you can be the rest . Five , six , now we text I'm going to text my husband Eight , nine , so we have nine things on our list .
Speaker 1There's no nine sided die , so I'm going to ask him for a 10 side . We're going to have him bring you a die . Rad , I mean , this is live folks . You can feel like it's in the moment . You're in the moment with us as we put some sort of structure to our podcast . I have more experience playing D&D than my husband , and so I asked him for 1D10 . I don't know if he'll know . Yeah , he probably won't know which dice . That is not at a glance , but we'll see . Can we hear he comes ? Yay , thank you , he brought me my whole set . Oh , he brought me his set . Okay , we are in business . Now I have to make sure . Is your list numbered now ? It is okay , and so is mine . All right , here's the roll Nine . Oh , you , partially . Clips of the heart . Go . Well
Solar Eclipse in Virgo
Speaker 1, this is a good one to start with .
Speaker 1So there is an eclipse today , a solar eclipse , not a total , but a partial solar eclipse . That's happening at 29 degrees Virgo , and so , with a solar eclipse , that means the sun and the moon are , you know , conjunct , basically , and that means they're sitting in the same spot . I assume people know what an eclipse is , but you never know . So it is a solar eclipse at 29 degrees Virgo , and a solar eclipse is when the moon passes between the sun and the earth , and that will only happen on a new moon , whereas a lunar eclipse happens on a full moon and it's when the earth moves between the sun and the moon .
Speaker 1Yes , can I share a bitchy moment ? Yeah , always Like crone's bitch corner or something , or crone cunt corner . How's that Crone cunt corner ? What Is my crone hood has ? Even though I am dissociated , I did see someone on TikTok talking about this weekend and the eclipse and they're like everything's crazy . There's a solar eclipse and it's the equinox and a new moon , and I had to leave the comment . It's always a new moon .
Speaker 1When there's a solar eclipse , certain things are true that can't be untrue . I mean , it's fucking in Virgo , and so my attention to detail just shoots . So anyway , that was my crone cunt corner moment . I love that . I love when you troll people , because you rarely do it . It's not my way , but the thing I get really a little and this is going to come into play with what you and I are talking about today . I am not an alarmist , and so when I see people like pumping up the jam a little too much and making claims or statements that are just you know out there , I feel the need to flake that balloon a little . So the eclipse today happens at 5 pm Eastern , 2 pm Pacific . The eclipse today happens at 5 pm Eastern , 2 pm Pacific .
Speaker 1Now , nobody's going to hear this podcast in time to actually use any of the information that I'm about to give you , because we tend to be always a day late and a dollar short . But I'm going to talk about it anyway because it is an interesting eclipse . Okay , so this eclipse is really potent . I don't always look at the astrology of eclipses , but this one in particular , just because all the other things going on , I thought , you know , let's take a look at the chart , and the chart it really blew my mind , because there's so much symmetry in it .
Speaker 1Every planet is either at the very beginning of a sign or at the very end of a sign , except for Jupiter , I think , but every other planet , which is Cray , and so 29 degrees in particular , is a very potent energy . It's called a critical degree , and I think it's because it's a transitionary phase , and we all know that when you're in transition , you have to be on your toes and you have to really be aware and awake and present in order to successfully complete a transition , and so the energy here is a lot more focused . Plus , at the end of a sign , the energy has more wisdom , and it's kind of like I went on this journey through this sign . Now you're gonna look in your bag and you're going to be like what do I still need in my bag for the next journey , and you're going to take stock and take some things out and also maybe summarize what you learned .
Speaker 1So that's the kind of energy of this eclipse , and so not only , though , is the sun and the moon in Virgo . They're directly opposing Saturn at the end of Pisces and Neptune at the beginning of Aries . So Saturn is kind of governing all of this , because not only is it these strong oppositions to the eclipse , but there's also wings in symmetry with the eclipse of Pluto at one degree Aquarius and Uranus at one degree Gemini . So those wings actually form a kite . So Saturn at the top of the kite , the spine of the kite is going down to the eclipse , and the two wings are Pluto and Uranus . So it's big energy . It feels almost like a gargoyle or something you know . I mean like Saturn and Neptune are the head and the wings are Pluto and Uranus . I mean like that's the tail , is the eclipse , yeah , so yeah , it's powerful . It's a moment because the sun and the moon move quickly , so it's just going to be in that exact formation today , but the energy lingers as well , as this whole Pluto and Uranus thing is ongoing . They're just in sync . So Pluto and Uranus are literally working together right now .
Speaker 1So the way that I'm thinking of this eclipse is , first off , saturn's involved . So you're going to have to be taking stock of your integrity and of your authenticity and I feel like , especially because it's in Virgo . It's a purging energy . So I might spend some time today literally purging my closet , purging some of the spaces in my house that are cluttered , because the idea is that you want to get all the garbage out of the way and so you can really pay attention to what's coming next . And it's not just physical stuff , it's also taking mental stock . You know what habits , ideas , thought forms , relationships , any of that stuff that has run its course or is in any kind of toxic state . It needs to get cleaned up , like you need to get the bleach and start , you know , cleaning it out , because there is so much coming at us every day , especially in the United States , that we need to be on our toes . And so I'm looking at this eclipse like prepare your house , because you need to be firing on all cylinders for what's coming , because we're all needed right now . I know you want to check out and that's OK . You can have moments of checkout , but overall I mean this is going to last a while .
Speaker 1It's probably years that we're going to have to be dealing with all the bullshit , but we need to be aware and awake and I feel like that whole Pluto Uranus thing . You know , you can think of Pluto as like bulldozing and grinding and dredging and excavating through our psyche and basically turning it all up so that it can be destroyed and gotten rid of the shit that's in the way . And then Uranus is there , right above Pluto , going . Okay , I can see now what am I going to think of and fill up now that I have all this space . And what we really need right now in the collective are really great ideas , and that's exactly what Uranus in Gemini is about . So it's a time not to sit on your ideas . If you have an idea and you think it's going to help , be brave . You know we have this Saturn in Aries , right , be brave , get it out there . The only bad idea is an idea that you never share . So this is kind of the energy here . So it's cleaning out and then making space for the new ideas to come into your mind and so that perhaps there is something you can do to help . And this is also an all hands on deck situation . We all know our democracy is fading away , it's eroding away and we need to be aware of what is slipping through our fingers .
Speaker 1I went ahead and went to astrocom and just looked at the chart of the moment . Yes , and there's yods in there too . Oh , but there's three yods . Yeah , there's not only three yods as well , but there's also a grand square , so pretty much everything is happening . We have the kite , which is also a grand trine , and we have the grand square , and then we have the yods . What ? What is the grand square ? The grand square ? You may not see it , but it has to if you don't have Eris on your . Oh , that's right , I don't have all the extra stuff . Eris and Chiron are one of the corners , and so also , mars is at 29 degrees .
Speaker 1Libra moving into Scorpio is about burning through secrets and putting light and fire into that dark zone of Scorpio where we prefer to keep things as they are . But Mars is not going to let that happen , and that's happening on the tail end of the eclipse . So Mars is at 29 right now and about to move through Scorpio after the eclipse . So it's intense astrology . Mars is about to hit my natal , venus then . Yeah , yeah , cool , that sounds exciting . I think I'll dissociate . I'll play with my kittens . Are you ready for me to roll another dice ? Yes , are you ready for me to roll another dice ? Seven , that's
Rapture Alert: Tuesday's Countdown
Speaker 1still you . Seven is rapture alert . Here we go .
Speaker 1One of my TikTok posts on the rapture went viral . It's like over 50K now . Wow , because everybody loves to talk about the rapture , like everybody has a funny quip . Comments are crazy and hilarious because , honestly , I think every single person who is so sick of the Christian shit is , you know , unleashing in these comments about you know , you know it's only going to get better from us from here , better for us , and you know . So it's happening on Tuesday and I think a year ago we did some kind of or two years ago we did some kind of rapture podcast that we talked about . Yeah , actually , I saw a memory come up not mine , but it was like something else on social media somewhere , where it was a guy going the rapture is happening September 19th through the 22nd , yes , 2023 . And this is it and I was like , yeah , didn't age . Well , what bugs me is that it's only been two years and here we are again . Well , I'll tell you what this rapture has going for it , because it is pretty , pretty interesting .
Speaker 1So a few things are happening . Obviously , we've got this eclipse , but eclipses happen every year , but it's a very potent eclipse , right ? So what's happening is there's a lot , obviously a lot , going down in Israel . There's a lot of the curtain being pulled back for us regular Americans to see how much power Israel has over our government . This is not about religion , this is about government . I'm not talking about Jewish people , but dive into that when you have a spare moment . It will terrify you at how much power Israel has over our governing body . In fact , there are 250 lawmakers , five from every state , from all 50 states , is in Israel right now , and they are at some big lobbying convention , basically , where Israel is trying to convince every state to start penalizing people who have pro-Palestinian policies , and so especially for people who are boycotting anything having to do with Israel because of Palestine . So it does not bode well for the genocide that is happening , which is just beyond words .
Speaker 1So beyond that , also in Israel , it is going to be Rosh Hashanah this week , which is the Jewish New Year . The Jewish New Year , and this year in particular , there is going to be 100 trumpets being blown at the same time on Mount Moriah , which is the holy mountain where the third temple will be built before the apocalypse . That's another topic of mine . This all goes together for me because I've been down a rabbit hole all week . So the blowing of the trumpets also coincides with some of the stuff in Revelation about the trumpets .
Speaker 1And so , because that is being broadcast all over the entire world , and also because of my number five topic , the red heifer , people just think that this is the one , to the extent that I have seen videos where people are literally saying they're leaving a list in their house for whoever takes their house after they are raptured , as well as a man who says he thinks this other guy thinks it's going to be the earthquake that cracks open the United States , so he has a meeting place and he has like a channel that you can tune into Like it's bonkers . My big question is like TikTok should be fascinating on September 25th . Yes , all of these people who are leaving laminated instructions for those who are left behind on their kitchen counters are going to have to like wake up and like do something with those lists on the 25th . But now see what I want to do , and I have heard this is not an original thought . I think it would be funny to leave empty clothes in the shape of people outside the houses , whatever , so that they can wake up and be like my mail carrier was raptured and I've been left behind . I know , right , I know it would be a blast to coordinate an effort of some sort just to fuck with them . Yeah , it's , it's .
Speaker 1I've actually heard a few people say like , if this doesn't happen , that they're like have to rethink and question their beliefs . So I really feel like this is that Saturn and Neptune moving into Aries it's a wake up call and their dream , because the reality is that shit is getting terrifying . You can't be asleep for this , and so I feel like the end of that Pisces cycle with Neptune , where it's been 14 years , given Neptune loves to be in Pisces and cooking up conspiracies and cooking up delusions and all that shit is going to just be ripped away from people , and so that's going to happen within the next six months as Neptune and Saturn move fully into Aries . So this is just the beginning . Well , and I'm almost thinking that some of my dissociation could be that Neptune is moving into Aries , where my Saturn and my moon and all of that are , and it's so it's coming and giving me some sweet , sweet relief .
Speaker 1I don't know , karen , I think with your Saturn return coming , you know you have Saturn at five degrees Aries or something , you're in your Saturn return . If you choose to delude yourself through your Saturn return , it may not bode well , and we'll . We'll get to that when the time comes . But I think that one of the things that's important to remember is that we all have jobs to do here in our , in our lives , right ? Sure , but part of my job is to make it weird , and so I can't entirely I don't know . I mean , like , what would look like checking out to some may just be me doing my job , that's very true . Only you and you know what your Saturn return is gonna be like .
Speaker 1Because we all have to figure out , like , what do I bring to the table ? As much as once upon a time I was told I looked like Xena . I cannot , in fact , go la-la-la-la-la and jump backwards into a tree . I can do the la-la-la-la part , but that's it . Yeah , and I have black haired bangs . I can be menacing as needed and I will be as needed , but what I mostly bring to the table is weird , and Saturn , too , is about you , and you I mean Saturn just wants me to be you . Well , aries is about that too . Right , it means , like , my true self is a little bit bonkers , and so I think that may be part of it . But in my own defense , yeah , saturn just wants us to be authentic . So that's who you are authentically , you know , and it's not like you're tuned out of current events , like you're very aware of what's going on . So it's not like you're totally tuned out , you're just found a safe space where you can thrive .
Speaker 1And that's when I roll a one , you ready ? Okay , I said let's see if I roll a one or not . Nope , I rolled a nine . We've already done that one . Okay , roll again Four . Oh , this is me , this is you Go . This
Dream Blends and Herbal Explorations
Speaker 1is my dream blend , dream blend , my dream , yeah .
Speaker 1So you know I've talked in past episodes and whatnot about my herbalism training and all that kind of stuff . I've talked in past episodes about my interest in dream work . You and I spoke not that long ago about tracking our dreams in ChatG dreaming and so I started working . Well , originally I was going to do a tea because I've been looking into various herbs and there's like a dream herb that I cannot pronounce the name of . If anyone's really interested one of you 10 people can email us and I will send you the information . But I had acquired it in dry form and I was going to make a tea , but then I read that it's heinously bitter and I am a delicate flower and therefore I knew that wasn't going to work out . So I have since ordered it as a tincture and so I've got that and blue lotus tincture and mugwort tincture and then like some other ones that are supposed to help lighten things , you know , because I don't really need super intense , vivid nightmares , and so you know , like a little bit of California poppy , passionflower , things like that , and I'm working on making a tincture blend to help with my dreams , and so I'm . I'm still in the process of that .
Speaker 1So I've been trying out , since I have no experience of the dream herb and the tincture I bought of it is called Leaf of God , my goodness . Well , I will definitely be a tester of this concoction , well . So I've been trying out the Leaf of God by itself and that's the one that's bitter , and I have to report back that the tincture is also nasty . So I've been trying it by itself , because I've never worked with these before . So I'm working with the individuals first . I've worked with California poppy and passionflower and things like that in the past , so I'm working with the full , single dose , you know kind of herb first , and the dream herb has been very weird .
Speaker 1But what's been frustrating is I have been having some pretty bonkers dreams , oh , but I'm struggling with dream recall and so now figure that out , and so I may have to add there are other tinctures I can use to kind of help direct things a little bit , but anyway , so I'm like a mad scientist zone right now , trying to come up with something that gives me a very memorable and interesting dream experience . Yes , I love it . Everything is related right , I mean , everything on my list is probably related to most of what's on your list in that there's all this crazy shit going on in the world and it all feels out of control , because I have no control over what the world is doing , and so it causes me to shrink my focus down to the things I can control or exert influence on , if that makes sense , because that's in my sphere of influence and my dreams . I can . If I'm going to have to , like , live in a bunker or something like that , I might as well have a really , really vivid dream life , because there's not going to be a lot of us going on . We'll be able to do anything else to entertain us Exactly . So , plus , I just feel like our dreams are such a portal to our inner wisdom and I've had a couple dreams now that involved my recently deceased cat , dippy , and I can see myself working through grief , you know that way , and whatnot , and and I'm having some themes popping up and stuff , and so it's just , it's such a good window into like the behind the curtain shit that goes on , because we can go through our waking lives just trudging , trudging , trudging , and if we're not paying attention , there's all of this background , it's all the programs running in the background , and we don't always get like a glimpse at what's happening back there . And I feel like our dreams are a good way to access some of that . Well , you know , I'm all into that . You know my oh yeah , I don't know .
Speaker 1I had a really bad dream yesterday where I was just looking for Gwyneth all night , just screaming for Gwyneth , can't find Gwyneth , and of course Gwyneth is trans , and I had just read the headline about like declaring trans people a terrorist organization , and so I'm having , you know , really upsetting dreams about my child disappearing , yeah , which is at least explainable by current events . You know it's not just my psyche going weird . It makes sense that I would have that dream , but but very upsetting , okay , so very upsetting , also connected to reality , maybe . Maybe you guys need some kind of plan . Well , that is something actually that you know with the eclipse , you know , I did a pretty long TikTok post about the eclipse last night and one of the things I said was this is time to figure out who you're going to be and start making real plans , because it isn't a fantasy anymore , it is happening , fascism is taking control , and so it is time to make a family plan for you and the people that you care about .
Speaker 1I have a code phrase with my daughter just in the event that , if one of us ever had to disappear for any reason , that we have a code phrase that basically means I'm alive and I'm okay , but don't come looking for me kind of thing means I'm alive and I'm okay , but don't come looking for me kind of thing . I mean like but I've also heard of people having code phrases to avoid like the scam where people dupe voices and stuff with AI and call and pretend like oh , there's ransom demand or whatever , and so I feel like having like legit secret codes and whatnot with our family members that convey particular information is actually worthwhile , absolutely Well . My partner even looked into getting asylum in Canada and what that actually looks like . So it's just , it's not a fantasy anymore , it's here , you know , and this is that time where it's like who would you have been in early 30 Germany ? What legacy do you want to leave for your family about who their family was during this time ? It's important to really
The Orange One's Accidental Text
Speaker 1be thinking long-term about this stuff and it's not fun to think about . No so , but here we are all right , roll again , rolling , rolling .
Speaker 1Eight , eight , eight is tarot truth and the orange . Oops . Okay , this happened late last night and I did post about it immediately and I woke up to like 10 000 views on this post because it's wild . You may not have heard about this yet , karen , because it just happened yesterday , but basically the orange one accidentally put out on social media a long text that was a private text to Pam Bondi , the attorney general , and in that post he basically tells her posted instead of texted . Yes , and he took it down , but it was too late . Yeah , of course . So basically and you can Google this , it's all over the news .
Speaker 1Basically , what he said is that he he feels that she's not moving fast enough to destroy his enemies , enemies that he is ordering her basically to put in prison certain judges like judges who ruled him guilty on things , and certain senators , and he calls them by name and says these people are guilty and they need to go to prison . Basically and this is so illegal , you can't just order your attorney general to put people in prison , but that's what he's doing . So that was a big oops , right , but he was going to make a mistake . That's going to be hugely embarrassing and that would start this domino effect . And then the next card was justice , and the next card after that was the magician reversed . So it would mean that he's meeting some justice and then his luck and magic are just going to run out .
Speaker 1Wow , I went to bed feeling pretty proud of this , like woo , this read not me , but the cards . Right , the cards said this would happen , and I don't always believe in that stuff . So it was like whoa . But then I woke up to thousands of people saying he's going to get away with it , there's not going to be any consequences , there's not going to be any accountability , that he's just going to be able to get away with shit like this and they're not wrong . So now I'm a little deflated , but I still have hope , if not now , then soon or , you know , within the coming months . Maybe there will be some justice . But you know , we'll see , but anyway , it was just weird Anytime .
Speaker 1No , that is the timing is really interesting too , because I know that you also did the astrology and it was like , as September goes along yes , like he was gonna , you know he has some very big shit in his chart . He has Jupiter conjunct Saturn and so that's like big consequences . You know Saturn is all about keeping us in line and what Jupiter makes that bigger . So it would almost you would think it would be karma inflating , you know , and and doing its thing , and it's getting discouraging that he gets away with everything and , I'm not going to lie , it has shooken my faith in anything and everything . Like does karma even exist ?
Speaker 1And I was really on the fence about that karma thing , like maybe everything is bullshit . Because I live in that space between belief and bullshit . I wish that I could be on one side or the other , but I live right in the middle of believing things and calling bullshit on things , including like astrology , tarot , like everything spiritual . For me it's on the line . I mean , I have Saturn opposite Neptune , so it's like Saturn never , ever lets me get totally free and run away with belief , and that's why I was never a really good Mormon , because I never truly believed it . I don't think I have the ability to truly believe anything . I can talk like I do , but I , in my heart of hearts , I don't truly believe . I'm just curious about it . So I don't know .
Speaker 1There's that whole and this is something that we talked about , this in our original podcast , and it's a place that I actually seek and try to live in is Robert Anton Wilson's concept of maybe logic Maybe that's true , maybe that's not true and to keep your reality tunnel permeable and flexible , so that you're never so rigid because , like these people who are expecting the rapture this week have like , condensed and calcified , right , their reality tunnels . And a a calcified reality tunnel is going to shatter if things don't work out the way they expect them to and then they're left in rubble . You know , right , we have to stay nimble and dexterous . That's what having an open mind is . You know , I have always had the widest open mind . That is the thing , you know , I think and again I find it ironic that I'm referring to astrology as I'm talking about not believing but you have to just like embrace the paradox of that . Yeah , because that embracing that kind of paradox kind of keeps you in that flexible reality . It does , it does , and I'm I'm grateful for that .
Speaker 1You know , I mean , my , my little generation has Neptune and Sag , so we're going to be all over the place . We're not going to get one belief system , because Neptune in Sagittarius is all about being on a quest and learning new things and integrating new things and being malleable and mutable and able to shift . And I have Saturn in Gemini , which is also mutable , and so my belief system and even my own internal like integrity compass , is flexible . So certain things that are right or wrong to some people , that's not right or wrong to me , right and so , because with Gemini it's always changing , my integrity is , you know , shifty , which it doesn't sound great about me , but it is what it is .
Speaker 1If I get more information about something and I've made up my mind , but I get more information in Gemini , you're like , oh okay , well , that could be true too , well , and I think that that's so important and I don't know that I would say that gives you shifty integrity , because in order to have integrity , something has to be like solid , right . I mean like , if you think about , like the integrity of a ship's hull , it either has integrity or it doesn't . You know . But I don't think that being open to new information and thus a shift in perspective is anything about wavy integrity . It just means that you're always open to new information . It's an open mind . Yeah , yeah , that's pretty much like .
Speaker 1What I say is I have strong suspicions about things and I will live my life in accordance with those strong suspicions . But to me , to think that we get to witness the karma in action , that's ego . We want to see a disastrous fall , but that's just . That's just human shit . And just at the point where I'd almost given up hope in karma at all , you released that text .
Speaker 1Oh , oh , charlie Kirk got killed . Yeah , and I know that's a topic , that Charlie Kirk got killed . Yeah , and I know that's a topic that's on my list . So why don't we roll ? Okay , seven , I already did seven . Six
Charlie Kirk and the Kingdom
Speaker 1, all right , the kingdom of Kirkdom ? Okay , perfect , we're in tune , yeah . So obviously everybody knows Charlie Kirk was shot and killed .
Speaker 1I am not a fan of shooting and killing anyone . I don't necessarily think that he deserved to be assassinated that way , so I'm not saying any of that . But it is pure karma , in my opinion . You can't go around the world spouting out garbage and hateful commentary about human beings and expect that you're just going to get away with it , you know . So I'm not running around celebrating , but I did feel that sense of , yes , justice , yes , karma , karma is real and it gave me renewed hope in the idea of karma that it does come around , sometimes viciously , you know , and we've been inundated with this Kirkdom and that now people are losing free speech over it , like Jimmy Kimmel losing his show over saying stuff that was pretty benign . Yeah , charlie Kirk , and you know , I don't know about you , but I have canceled Hulu and Disney . Everybody's boycotting , and I think that's important and it evidently has has made an effect , like it's made a dent enough people over three million dollars , or something like that , I think in lost revenue . Yes , overnight . Yeah , so it sends a message .
Speaker 1Yeah , so just , the whole thing was just wild and people have the wildest theories about this shooting . I mean , I could go on and on about the rabbit holes I went down . But people are tying it to the rapture , which is a totally new thing to me , and it's basically a numerological system in Hebrew that associates numbers to phrases , and so I saw this post where this guy had used the gematria to show that at the time of the shooting , the gematria for that number is Jesus is coming , and Kirk means church and , having to do with the date of the event , is broken down numerically it means the church and the name Tyler Robinson , broken down into the gematria , means electromagnetic current , and so people were saying that this shot going through the church , you know , is all very much reminiscent of the rapture and three days of darkness , and so people have people go . These people could be Swifties , that's all I'm saying . Crazy , yeah , but it's fascinating . I mean I'd never heard of this gematria thing , so that's new . But yeah , it's wild times and you tell people that there's going to be casualties that are collateral damage in order to have the right to bear arms , and then you get taken out by a gun .
Speaker 1I don't know who the guy was , and so then it was like , all of a sudden I knew who the guy was and I knew things . The guy said and blah , and all of a sudden , I was like , nope , not doing this , I'm not feeding his egregore , I am not . I am not going to contribute to that , because it's exactly what I expected , because , even though it looks like the assassin and you know , I know , there's a lot of conspiracy theories around this too , was someone who was also of a similar , but not exactly the same ideology . Well , evidently this guy is a follower of Nick Fuentes , and that is a big rabbit hole . That is like a whole podcast episode .
Speaker 1Well , I mean , I just it's like I have so much mental energy and there are things in my life that are really , really important to me and I'm not going to spend my , my , my precious limited life force on someone who said things like that . You know , I mean absolutely , you know and mean absolutely , and so and that's one of the things I've really been thinking about lately it's like again with this lack of control over things , and I'm not preaching that we should all check out , because I think it is important to know what's happening , but I am making a conscious decision not to feed egregores , these negative egregores that are , because there's already all these people feeding and feeding these thought forms and I have suspicions that human beings have the ability to create thought forms with their energy and if I have a strong suspicion leaning in that direction , that I'm not going to feed the ones that in ultra-right Nikuente's land there is an entire ideology of incel mindset that they hate women so much that they have what's called trans-maxing , and trans-maxing is different than being transgender . Trans-maxing is saying I am a small man . These are for the men who are like , are small , short , have small appendages , and they cannot get purchased or get any kind of recognition as quote unquote men in society . So they decide to transition so that they can get the perks of being a woman Like this is real and so finding out about this , then you start to understand a little bit more that being transgender is already hard enough . But now , when you've got this whole segment of trans maxing people , the right is not going to know the difference . So it's dangerous and I'm glad to be aware of it . So it is a rabbit hole that I just think we should be aware of that this is happening . Awareness is different than focus . Yes , oh , yeah , yeah , okay . Next roll , next roll ,
The Red Heifer's Significance
Speaker 1five the red pepper , ohifer . Oh yes , your red heifer . Well , this is I mean , this is just brand new information to me that , again , I again find super fascinating . So I learned all about the red heifer .
Speaker 1If you don't know what that is , it's in judaism that before the third temple can be built on Mount Moriah , meaning that should herald in the coming of the Messiah . In Judaism there are certain rituals that have to play out and be performed perfectly , and in order to perform these rituals , the priests have to be purified . The priests have to be purified , and the only way to be purified enough to do these rituals you have to be able to cleanse in the ash of a perfect red heifer . So they burn the cow and then they bathe in the ash , and that is what makes them pure enough to do the rituals that are required to bring the Messiah . So there's a lot of hoops to jump through for this little cow to become like the red heifer . They can't have one hair on their entire body that isn't red . They can't have ever been yoked . They can't have ever been like , pierced , you know , like sometimes they pierce their ears for a tag or whatever .
Speaker 1So there's a gentleman in Texas named Byron Stinson who about five years ago decided to raise red heifers for this purpose , and then he had delegates from the Temple Institute in Israel , which is the organization that is doing these rituals , come to Texas and meet these little cows and then take them back with them to Israel , where they have been raising the cows and they check them daily . There are priests that go check them daily to see did they get injured , are they still perfect ? And I think three of them of the five have been disqualified for one reason or another . And so , because they can't be too old , they can't be too young , so they've been being raised to the point of age . Sounds like the same kind of standards that a lot of dudes have for women . I know right , oh my God , that's that would be interesting to think about .
Speaker 1Yeah , so what's happening now is in July they did a full ritual with what they called a disqualified heifer , just to practice , and this guy , byron Stinson from Texas , was there and he posted on social media that it went perfectly and that in his mind it was a perfect heifer . And so now there are questions about whether or not they really did the ritual , but they are saying that it was practiced because they don't want to bring on what could come from all that , because what it's basically saying to the world is we have done everything we need to do to now build the temple , and the problem with building the temple is that it's on Mount Moriah , which is currently completely inhabited by Islamic mosques and shrines and holy places . So in order for them to build the temple , they have to clear the mountain of Islam . And so some people say that that's what's really going on right now . It's all of the world suffering .
Speaker 1All of the genocide , all of the bullshit is all happening because of some ridiculous prophecy in a book about imaginary gods , and that is completely destroying our entire planet , as religion has always done . It has always been destructive to humanity and to the planet . Not all religions have been destructive . The Abrahamic ones have been Abrahamic , absolutely right , abrahamic for sure . I stand corrected . So then I looked into it a little further and it turns out that the entire October 7th , hamas taking hostages and basically reigniting the war . One of their lists of reasons is the red heifer ceremony , the fact that they had the red heifers from Texas , the fact that they were working on it . Hamas listed that as a reason , so it's actually literally partially responsible , this red cow thing . It's so exciting , I mean , this is essentially like real people , real grandmothers and grandfathers and infants and children and moms and dads , and are being sacrificed in this giant LARP .
Speaker 1It is Karen . That's a great word to say , and it's terrifying to think of what could happen if Israel decides to actually start building the temple . They have the blueprints . They've been making the things that go in the temple according to their scripture and certain pieces of you know , it's everything . It's like chairs and containers and all these things that are supposed to be in this temple . They're already building . So all of the pieces are being built and all to the point where all they have to do is just take the mountain . Now they , they own the mountain .
Speaker 1Israel controls the mountain , but they have an agreement with I don't know who runs Islam . I have no idea . I'm very ignorant about Islam , but I like the later agreement , like the status quo , which means we won't bug you , you can keep your mosque , you can keep your things going there , but we do control the mountain more and we're just going to take our mountain and do what we want with it , and that will cause a world war , because there's a lot , a lot , a lot of countries out there who are supporting Palestine , you know , and the UN is meeting tomorrow to basically decide if they're going to declare a two state solution , and that is also what's feeding into the rapture , because that's part of the rapture is peace in the Middle East . I've even heard people say Trump is going to broker it so that Trump could be the peace bringer , and of course , that would make him absolutely their Antichrist , because that's part of what the Antichrist supposedly does . It's all connected .
Speaker 1I mean it's , you can tell like I've been completely down a rabbit hole all week . This is the the most heinous larp of all time . It is . It's so upsetting . It's like we just want to live our lives . We want to just want health care . Motherfuckers , come on .
Speaker 1I mean yes , in the meantime , israel has fully state-covered health care and education . I mean , israel is is somewhat socialistic in organization and in the way they treat their citizens , and yet we can't have those things and we're pouring money into them , you know to be able to , so that they can have these things , but the Americans can't have these things . Again , that has nothing to do with people or hating the people , but I do like find so much problem with , like you say these , say these grand larps , things that are affecting everyone , that only a small portion of people believe in , and the the awful thing is that , as a result of the people who are engaging in the grand larps , anti-semitic behaviors , you know acts , are on the rise . I mean , obviously , it's just it creates this ripple of suffering . Yeah , all because because of the of a religious LARP .
Speaker 1Yeah , and people are even saying that you know Candace Owens , the pundit on the right . She's a black woman on the right , she's . She was very good friends with Charlie Kirk and she's saying Charlie Kirk wasn't super down with Israel and genocide , that he had a different opinion about it , that they were trying to pay him to go to Israel and take up the mantle , but he wouldn't do it , and so she's saying that he was killed for that . Like it goes all the way through . This soap opera . Basically , that's being carried out in front of us , people who have , like , no say and no power and no way to stop it . Yeah , crazy , okay , roll . I'm going to roll a different die , because rolling 10 sided when we only have like three more topics , well , I'm done with all of mine , I know . So I'm reverting to a four sided die . Perfect .
Speaker 1Okay , so I rolled one disassociation and kindness , and yeah , we've talked about my dissociation a lot and you know , in fairness , a there it doesn't . It doesn't do anyone any good to pay such close attention to what's happening in the world that you are so overwhelmed that you become paralyzed , like we all have to practice mental health , self-care and whatnot , and I and I think I I tipped into that on friday , but
Dissociation, Kindness and Practical Magic
Speaker 1the I'm trying to have healthy , intelligent , socially responsible disassociation because it relates back to the fact that all of these things that are happening , because one of the things we have not mentioned in all of this is that there's also a interstellar I can't believe we didn't talk about what is it ? Well , this is part . It's kind of . I'm going to just blend it into this .
Speaker 1Fair enough , yeah , we need to tell her object that they thought might be a comet and they thought might be an asteroid , and now no one's quite sure what it is and some people think it's aliens and other people think it's not aliens , but it's not behaving the same as other things . I can't remember the name of it . I'm not going to get three eye atlas . There you go , is headed our way . It's may collide with mars , right , so take that , mars moving into pluto . Well , maybe pluto conjunct Mars is going to be the end of Mars . Well , you're talking about Scorpio , not Pluto . Oh , fuck , right , that's it , but , but similar . I mean , scorpio is ruled by Pluto . So , yeah , what happens in astrology if Mars is gone ? Would it take out Mars , like I have no idea ? Oh , being inflammatory ? Yeah , at any rate , like all of this shit's happening and what .
Speaker 1But what I have control over is chop wood , carry water , like I have control over , like my life , and so , in order to be of service in the world , I have , like , limited things to offer , but I always have my compassion and I always have my kindness , I always have love and things like that , and so I am trying to keep that fount full within me , which means spending time with my kittens and opening my windows when it starts to rain so I can smell the petrichor , and creating a ghost chandelier smell the petrichor and creating a ghost chandelier , and you know like I'm doing those things so that I have something to offer , because how I treat the people I love , what energy I pour into my job , what I offer my family , what I offer my community is what I have . Yes , I , you know I am . I have monthly donations to the ACLU and like , like , direct , and I'm trying to act with generosity and compassion in my community wherever I can . You know , absolutely those are the things that matter . So so that's when I say I'm dissociating , that's what I mean is I've basically shrunk down to a manageable size . You're circling the wagons , I am , yeah , so I am on the side of TikTok where we are learning with sea shanties how to fly F-16s .
Speaker 1I heard about that . That is the most bizarre . Can you explain briefly what that is ? Literally , people taking , as far as I can tell people , someone took a flight instruction manual for various military aircraft and land craft to tanks and things like that , fed it into some sort of you know song generating ai and said turn this manual into lyrics in the style of a sea shanty and go , and so now everything is like I stole an f-16 . You know what I mean . Also like instructions on how to use the F-16 , right , oh , yeah , no , it's like the step-by-step how to take off in an F-16 .
Speaker 1There's a separate song for landing it , and sea shanties were legitimately work songs that helped with the running of the ship . So they , you know when they like , pull the keel and blah , blah , blah . You know , like all of those things are . None of that was real . No , I know what you mean Exactly .
Speaker 1To help people A remember what the tasks , in the correct order , are they're mnemonic devices and to keep the rhythm and the right . You know what I mean , right ? And so they're basically evolving the concept of the sea shanty to teach , because all the neurodivergents out there are memorizing these songs . You may end up with like neurodivergents , may not ever have the manual dexterity to actually do the job , but they could be sitting next to you and singing the song , so you know what step comes next , right , and yes , be sitting next to you and singing the song , so you know what step comes next , right , and yes . And so there's like people who are making jokes about adding flying an f-16 to their resume because now they have the song memorized . That is hilarious .
Speaker 1There's that going on , and so I'm on , that's this . I'm on that side of tiktok , yeah . And then also all of the post-apocalyptic shit , like I now know how to make bleach , nice , I now know how to make gasoline . Wow , these are useful things , karen . I'm doing my thing . Like , what do I bring to the table ? That's the kind of shit . You probably bring more practical booths to the table than I do .
Speaker 1All I have is useless information in my head . But I mean like , that's where , because I I think I'm someone who has some level of control issues because of situations from my earlier life and therefore I have to figure out . For me , it's always about what can I do ? Yes , and I , and being able to do something of consequence , like , and not big flashy consequence , just get it done . You know , like , and so that's why I studied herbalism , so I would have an inkling and I have an apothecary of herbs that can help with various issues . I would be completely useless , other than I know about astrology , and I don't think that's going to be helpful in the apocalypse .
Speaker 1I'm all about gathering skills . You have practical skills Like . All I can do is I could build a database , but there probably won't be technology , so I'll just reuse , I'll clean up , I'll do the dishes . There you go . That's important too . So , anyway , that's actually what my dissociation is .
Speaker 1Yeah , I think that's a healthy dissociation , but in the meantime I had taken a set of those suspended candles that you can turn on with a wand . Yes , made sure they had no Harry Potter branding whatsoever , because fuck JK Rowling Right . And then I dripped hot glue on them to make them look really drippy and painted that , and so they look like drippy candles now , not just like plastic candles . And I have some hanging in my hallway because my grandchildren think my hallway is too dark , so now I can go and with a wand and turn magical . Those kids must love that . They haven't seen it yet and then I will blow their minds . I showed it to my eldest granddaughter via a video chat last night and she was like and then I've also .
Speaker 1I finished my ghost chandelier and my daughter was actually able to see it in person . It basically makes the prisms on my chandelier look like they're illuminated without light , like because the light bulbs aren't on it , just the prisms kind of light up , and so it looks like this ghostly . And then I've hung some of those candles around it as well . So I have this whole like lightscape hanging from my ceiling in my dining room . So , and I've got rechargeable batteries , so I have a whole battery . Recharging isn't save the earth , right ? So I can charge all of these batteries and I have little fairy lights hidden all over my house in very in the kind that can come on with a timer .
Speaker 1So as the evening descends , lights start winking on all around my house . Like I have a little alligator or crocodile like head in my bathroom so I've got lights in his mouth and so when it winks on all of a sudden his mouth is glowing and so I have lights all around my house like that . So as it gets darker , so that's what I'm dissociating Galaxy lights , but same idea . So that's what I'm dissociating . It's galaxy lights , but same idea . Yeah , yeah , I need it to be cozy , warm and almost like a mystical feel . Like I have a glass skeleton head . It's like just a hollow glass head that's shaped like a skeleton , so I stuffed it full of lights and so it's like you're sitting there watching TV or whatever , and all of a sudden , bing , the skeleton is glowing . You know , I mean that kind of love it .
Speaker 1I wish I had the energy to do shit like that in my house . It's , it is for me , it is a , it's a vital , it's self-care , yes , especially mental health . Right now , my big task and I'm hoping that I will get to it , maybe I'll even start today is to paint my living room yellow . So that is . I feel like that's what I want to do , to sort of brighten everything up for myself , especially as the dark times are descending . We'll see . I'll check in next podcast and tell you if that happened , see if you actually did it or not . Well , instead of rolling again , I'm just going to like , since I'll have two more Sure , yeah , one of them . So Aunt Frances basically ties into the dissociation , because I was laughing at myself the other day .
Speaker 1Aunt Frances is a character in the book and the movie Practical Magic , and you remember we're thinking of our Aunt Frances . Yeah , we have our Aunt Frances that's what I who was rather fabulous herself . She was amazing . Yeah , so they're not disparate , they work together , do . But I just remember you and I working on our very first books of shadows over some odd years ago . Like this was like almost like probably longer than that , twenty five years ago , twenty five years ago , and we were pasting in pictures of things that we wanted to be like , what we wanted to work toward in our life , and so many of my pictures were of the aunts from practical , the practical magic movie . And so the other day I was .
Speaker 1I think something just crossed my timeline or something like that , and I saw a picture of her from the movie . It was played by Stockard Channing and her hair was up in a bun and she has a really thin white streak going up one side and I was like that's my hair , like mine isn't as robust or curly and it's not brown , it's black , but otherwise I was like , and I had like nailed it . I think I actually became Aunt Frances . Yeah , like like , I have potions , I have a garden , I have like all of these things . That seemed so far away . They seemed like fantasy . It seemed like fantasy , yes , when I was in my 30s , early 30s . Fantasy , yes , when I was in my 30s , early 30s . And now it , some of those things are my legit reality . And what's the other aunt's name ? Jet , jet , that's right . Um , I definitely more embody her . Um , and she had , I think , reddish hair and yeah , I mean I , I love that journey for us .
Speaker 1I love that we've kind of completely ended up being those characters in many ways . I also think you looked it up and they were in their 50s in the movie . Yeah , they were . Well , they were younger than we are now when that movie was made .
Speaker 1Yeah , and then now , of course , the new one just finished filming and in actuality , we are the actual ages of Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock . They are our age . Yes , they are now the ages of their aunts from the original movie . We were the ages of them in the in our 30s , that's correct . So it's interesting that we're going to get another story . Only from now we'll be really more relating to the actual characters that Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman play . Well , and I did then too . I mean , like I was in my you know , sally era when the original movie came out , I had young children and all of that , and , but what I really wanted to be with was balance .
Speaker 1Yeah , yes , it will be very interesting to see , because now what I'm looking toward is where are the aunts now in this story ? Are they in the movie , I believe ? So I don't know how they're going to handle the story . I've read all of the books . I don't know what they're going to use and what they're not , so I'm not going to comment on what I think might be some of the . So you know the actual story of the , of the movie that they just made , or is this a movie that I know ? I know the story of the books , okay , and we don't know how closely they're going to follow the book correct , right ? So I don't know exactly what to expect with that , but but anyway , yeah , you know , like , honestly , in , uh , wed , there's the grandmother character too .
Speaker 1Yeah , I can't remember what her name is off the top of my head , because I'm always looking , for I need to see myself . Yeah , because , like yesterday , I was getting ready to leave the house and my hair was down and I had this moment of like . It was like a moment of am I sally or am I francis ? Got it , and then I put my hair up on my head and I'm like I'm fucking francis , I'm . You know , I'm gonna go out into the world as my weird semi-modern victorian gothy old lady and that's okay . I don't need to go try to be anything else , I don't need to try to look younger or anything . Oh , yeah , yeah , letting myself be Aunt Frances , absolutely yes . So that's that .
Speaker 1And then my final topic is the Church of Gnomes . Oh , this is a great
The Church of Gnomes
Speaker 1one to end on . It relates to everything else that I've talked about Basically . Once again , on TikTok , I came across the Church of Gnomes . They actually paid to film some commercials for TikTok and they use the look and feel of Midsommar , yes , so they're really funny .
Speaker 1It's hard to explain , but if you're on TikTok , just search for the church of . No , you don't even have to go on tiktok , you it's not ? Just go to their website ? They , yeah , they have a regular website . It's , uh , church of gnome , orgorg .
Speaker 1They have origins and beliefs and gnomian principles and doctrine and oh , I'll just read their mission statement perfect , uh , the church of gnome is committed to embodying and advancing charitable endeavors at the heart of its mission , anchored in the gnomian principles . We strive to cultivate a vibrant community that champions personal growth , environmental stewardship and a broad understanding of the interconnectedness of all beings Through a harmonious integration of spiritual practices and a welcoming embrace of diverse world beliefs . We are dedicated to making a tangible positive impact both within our community and across the globe . They are committed to promoting interconnectedness , encouraging diverse spiritual exploration , advancing personal and collective well-being , building a supportive and compassionate community , embracing mystery and wonder , active societal contribution and promoting lifelong learning and adaptability . And they are not a cult . That sounds lovely and I have seen some of the videos and you get to wear a really cute gnome hat . So they have a note they have like gear , and the thing is like , I mean , because I agree with all of that , right , I mean , and you can not only be ordained , but you can ordain your pets .
Speaker 1So just saying , and the thing is is , like , you know , we're all back to feeding egregores . If I'm going to choose an egregore to feed , I'm going to choose the church of Nome , because they're dedicated to these things that are so beautiful and and so I'm not going to put any any , because we're in this place , like it really feels fraught , right , we're in this good and evil like thing . And what if there is no rapture ? And what if there are no aliens ? And what if , you know , most likely nothing is going to happen on either front ? Right , but there's that tension and that conflict is still there . Right , but there's that tension and that conflict is still there .
Speaker 1And what if one of the things that begins to tip the scales is a church of gnomes with people wearing pointy hats ? That is hysterical , it is funny and I want to feed that . I want it to go down in history books . You know whether they are chips that kids have to put in their brains or whatever . You know whether they are chips that kids have to put in their brains or whatever . Whatever history books look like in the future , that the Church of Gnome played a part in the LARP ? Yes , I'm on if I'm going to be LARP , if we're LARPing , I'm a gnome , I'm a gnome . Yes , I love it . I love it . So you know .
Speaker 1And then you were also talking about karma , and I was saying that I don't think that we always get to witness someone's karma , because karma is personal , right ? I mean like it's your own soul , and we're talking soul shit , and karma plays a long game , absolutely To me . The way I visualize this is my strong suspicion is that at some point when our souls this is my strong suspicion is that at some point when our souls shed our meat suits and we are reunited with our eternal being , whatever that is , and we are reunited with all of the parts of us that wanted to do a good job , that came here with good intentions , the minute that part of us , that eternal part of us , has to absorb the shit we actually did , I mean that moment is all the karma some people probably need , because we are all our own worst critics , we are all our own worst judge . And when it's personal . When it's that deep soul stuff , when I realize I have behaved in a way that disappoints me , that's the worst I ever feel . Like when I find out I hurt someone I love , even if it was unintentional , I feel awful , right , I mean like that's the worst I could ever feel . And so I feel like if you blow that out to eternity and soul , what more does karma really need to do ? And it's personal . So I think we have to start turning our eyes away from the performative part of all of this and get back into the depth of it . And so what do we want to be on that depth level ? What do we have to offer on that depth level ? Because everybody , I strongly suspect , will at one point be reunited with that bright , hopeful I can do it part of themselves that is eternal , and have to do battle internally with all of the ways they did not live up to their own expectations for themselves , all of the ways they did not live up to their own expectations for them . And so my goal is to make it weird Counseled a friend of mine just recently who is going to have to be spending some time with their extremely religious , extremely MAGA family and I said join the Church of Nome , get the pendant and the hat and just show up wearing it when they try to talk about their LARP , you talk about yours and they will think you are batshit crazy .
Speaker 1Yep , well , you know , I mean like right , because how better to diffuse it all ? They'd be like , oh well , I believe in the Holy Nome or whatever you know , and make it as ridiculous as possible and maybe , and at least , if you are contributing the money to buy the pendant , it's going to an organization that believes in interconnectedness and diversity . I'm all about the merch , so now that they have great merch you know , I did just buy my 12th cardigan did not even put taylor swift on your list . Well , I almost did , but I mean , yes , it's exciting , there is news , there is going to be a movie , a premiere in the theaters of her first video along with all the lyric videos , so you get to listen to all the new songs on the big screen with other Swifties and a lot of behind the scenes stuff on the video and about the album .
Speaker 1So I have been shopping for something to wear , assuming that the orange , sparkly cardigan that I bought will probably not get to me in time .
