๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿ–ค BIRTHDAY RAFFLE FOR FOOD BANKS ๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿฅ™

Itโ€™s my birthday! Iโ€™m 39! All I want for my birthday is food security for all! Pin a birthday dollar (or ten) on me and Iโ€™ll give it to a local food bank! Iโ€™m raffling off these vases to raise money for the Alameda County Community Food Bank and the Trans Income Project . While donating food is kind and helpful, food banks are efficient and knowledgable about how to make a dollar stretch, so Iโ€™m doing a raffle in order to raise some moneyyy. ๐Ÿ’ธ

HOW TO ENTER:
๐ŸŒฎone raffle ticket is $10. Venmo me with the note โ€œfood raffleโ€ and your ig handle or contact info
๐Ÿ•you can also donate to the above orgs and screenshot the receipt and send it to me (must be dated after this post)
๐Ÿฅž share this post and tag me for an additional entry!
๐Ÿฅ— Iโ€™ll pick two winners (a vase for each) in ten days, on Nov 13!

Iโ€™d love to raise $500. At least! ๐ŸŽ‚๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿง
Other ideas to support your neighbors:

๐Ÿฅช make peanut butter & jelly sandwiches in sealed labeled baggies to add to free little libraries on your block (like my roomie !)
๐Ÿ make a few extra servings of your meal prep and put in labeled tupperware and add them to community fridges in your city
๐Ÿฅ‘ ask a friend who uses SNAP if you can take them grocery shopping or pick anything up for them your next trip. Donโ€™t have a friend on food stamps? Tap into your networks and offer to be someoneโ€™s grocery buddy.

โžก๏ธ EVERYONE DESERVES TO EAT โฌ…๏ธ
YES THAT INCLUDES PLEASURE FOODS, AND COMFORT FOODS AND โ€œJUNKโ€ FOOD, AND WHATEVER FOOD PEOPLE CHOOSE FOR THEMSELVES TO SURVIVE AND THRIVE ๐ŸŸ๐Ÿฅ—๐Ÿฅ“๐ŸŽ๐Ÿฉ

Ok thatโ€™s all for now, donโ€™t forget to wish me a happy birthday! ๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿฆ‚๐Ÿฆ‚๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ”๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰โ™๏ธโ™๏ธ๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿ‚

Driving across the country to massage you! ๐Ÿš™
Some photos from a road trip and some reminders on why getting a massage is a good idea! ๐Ÿ˜Œ
My books are open for massaging in New Orleans from September 25-October 6. Iโ€™ll have my massage table set up in midcity and my booking link is the same. Iโ€™ll prioritize returning clients from my once consistent and precious practice but if openings remain available, Iโ€™ll be happy to take new clients. ๐Ÿ’†
If you have felt shy to mention a gift certificate that expired shortly after I abruptly left NOLA, please let me know! I want to make good on whatever loose threads I may have abandoned when I high tailed to CA to support my dad. I have more spoons now, gimme a shout. ๐Ÿคฒ๐Ÿผ
Very grateful for excellent road pals and our two perfect pups. ๐Ÿงก

New Orleans part 2 just sharing a few more snippets of my June visit! Oysters and prints and summer sounds and Louisiana views I miss. Not pictured are all the pals I got to give big squeezes to! ๐Ÿค— Since then, I've been enjoying returning to my pets and rhythms of my sweet little life I've slowly created for myself out on the west coast. My books are still open if you're looking for a trauma informed, body inclusive, q***r massage therapist in the East Bay! I've been a practicing massage therapist for nearly a decade, am a dedicated anatomy student, and have supported clients with a wide range of body experiences from surgery recovery, to repetitive stress injuries, to somatic reintegration. Massage can be an incredible preventative health care tool and it is work I am extremely dedicated to. Go where the links are to book and I'll see you at the ! ๐ŸŒž๐ŸŒŠ https://meghanjohnson.as.me/

The longer it took me to post this, the more anti ai gems I found! ๐Ÿ˜† today seemed like a good enough day to post about this lil block print I made recently. However youโ€™re spending the day, please be safe and remember that as more neighbors and loved ones lose healthcare and access to basic needs, weโ€™ll only have each other! Even if a robot can pick us up from the airport or deliver food or make terrible art, itโ€™ll cost money that we can put toward our communities, so weโ€™re better off doing those things for each other. Love you! โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿงจ๐ŸŽ†

Nola visit for the heart and soul part 1!
What a dream, massaging once regulars and catching up with loved ones, visiting old stomping grounds, listening to the songs of cicadas and afternoon thunderstorms. Iโ€™ve missed being here so much. New Orleans, thank you for still loving me! ๐Ÿฅฐ
I brought lots of tinctures if any of these formulas sounds like theyโ€™d be supportive to you. Many are recipes from and others are my own creations. 1 oz - $18, 2 oz - $32.
Keep loving, keep fighting my dears โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ
