I work with poisonous plants, so I guess I hang out with myself?? I also know how to grow a variety of mushrooms, but so what? I don't consider that, in itself, to be a hallmark of one's ideology. Anyone can study herbal medicine, even poisonous plants; some college-level chemistry and biology is likely helpful, but probably not absolutely necessary. My assessment of her stems more from some of her off-hand comments about things, such as the idea that anti-depressants are just needed by some people, and the assumption that putting one's young children in daycare is.. not just reasonable but almost an entitlement. (Yes, I have children, five actually.) Her writings, especially those on sex abuse in pagan groups, had a strong undercurrent of "me-too", fourth-wave feminist rhetoric - mainly the idea that everything is abuse if I say it is, and if you question me on that it's because you're a misogynist bigot etc. I also recall her making a big deal out of announcing that she was withdrawing from some spirituality trade show (something like that) because another guest met her definition of racist/white supremacist and the organizers wouldn't kick the "racist" whoever out of the show - to me this reeks of demonstrative leftist righteousness and also looks a whole lot like cancel culture. I also found it pretty amusing that she made this piece https://society6.com/product/medicine-for-the-people_t-shirt?sku=s6-11283536p15a4v75a5v18a11v49 yet also posted an injection selfie on Twitter. I think the word for this is "ironic". I was really disappointed because I like her artwork and had bought a few shirts with her prints, but I boycott Covidians so I won't be doing that again. At this point I mostly think she's an attention-seeking poseur.
