It’s 2025. The Broligarchy is in power. Project 2025 is in effect.

There are more than enough news reports about how dark and scary these times are for anyone who is not a rich white straight male (Broligarch).

Which could result in a strong urge to hide and shrink away for the next four years.

But this also happens to be the Year of the Snake, and I was born in the Year of the Snake, so I am very excited.

Chinese astrology and Feng Shui expert Vicki Iskandar says:

“The Year of the Snake is a year to explore, get inspired, and share your light. It will be a highly creative, collaborative, and exciting year — but also unpredictable and surprising, too.”

See Her Swim.

For those born during the Year of the Snake, Iskandar says,

“Be prepared to grab life-changing opportunities coming your way. Challenges will also abound, but you have the positive mindset needed to rise above them. Keep that positive mindset and your Snake return year can be one of the best years of your life.”

I am determined to “keep that positive mindset” because I am so ready to have the best year of my life!

To EVERYONE who is threatened by and/or fighting the Broligarchy, I am offering a sliding-scale for my photography.

This is my contribution to the resistance.

If you are a human who cares about human rights and needs photos of any kind, please send me an email (paige@paigegreen.com) or text (707.775.8048) and mention this post along with your photo needs. We will lift each other up and make some resistance art (or just take headshots… whatever you need) that fits your budget.

If you can, please share this blog post with anyone who needs photos. I am trying my best to move off social media. I canceled my Facebook (except for the account the hackers control) and am hoping to phase out IG, so word-of-mouth will be really important again. I am eager to know how you are connecting with folks during this time.

Thank you so much for your support! Kung Hei Fat Choi and Happy Year of the Snake!
