What I'm Tracking in June: Protecting the Sacred
5 little gems
Before we begin, Convivvium seeks a part-time Chief Marketing Officer. It’s the upcoming 5-day soul family reunion just outside Mexico City in the pueblo magico of Tepoztlán that I’ve been dreaming into reality since 2018, when I had the kundalini awakening that pivoted my whole life.
1. I don’t understand why is sexy Gandalf, but that’s just how it is.
The Way of (Vibe) Coding sets off his latest spell.
2. Forewarned is forearmed.
The World Economic Forum realized their founder, Klaus, was embezzling and replaced him with a Nestle exec quoted for saying water is a commodity, not a human right. I tell you this not to bum you out, but to know who you simply cannot trust. These institutions are not coming to save us.
3. Kindred
This is a real sign in a real park in a real state called Nebraska.
I went down the rabbit hole of what it would take to get these made on aluminum with reflective coating so they are all One-hundy-p Official™. If you would purchase one for a cool $80 units of United States fiat currency, please reply and let me know. Price includes anti-theft bolts, but you gotta get your own pole. If enough of you want in on this prank performance art project, I will cause it to rain down that magic on your front door.
4. Yo soy Dracula.
OMG, y’allsies, there’s a new TV series about the bizarre history of making Dracula. Turns out the Spanish language version was much more beloved by the critics than the one with Béla Lugosi. There’s drama, love triangles, and so much absurd behind-the-scenes history. Truth is indeed stranger than fiction.
Pro tip: I hate taking Spanish classes and DuoLingo makes me want to throw my phone into the air fryer, so I’ve been learning much more effortlessly by watching all my shows with subtitles. When I’m watching an English flick, I subtitle in Spanish and vice versa. Each helps your listening and speaking comprehension in different, complementary ways.
5. Oak Flat
Oak Flat is a desert plateau in Arizona that has been a sacred site for the Apache people for generations. It sits atop one of the largest untapped copper deposits in North America, but to the Apache, the copper isn’t just a resource—it’s the reason the site is sacred, the conduit of powerful spiritual energy. In 2014, the U.S. government approved a land swap that would hand Oak Flat over to a foreign mining company, tucked quietly into a defense bill.
This move sparked outrage among Indigenous communities and environmental groups, who see it as part of a long pattern of exploiting Native lands for profit. More than a political betrayal, the destruction of Oak Flat threatens to sever a vital energetic and ceremonial connection that cannot be replaced.
I’ve testified before a committee but never picked up my phone to call Congress. I’m going to get over myself and make that call on Monday. I hope you’ll join me.
