I hope you’re surrounded with feelings of safety and groundedness amidst this eclipse portal.
On a spectacular whim, I finally found a breakthrough with something I’m excited to put out into the world. It fills me with feelings of creativity, release, safety, and a humble sense of pride for the land I steward.
In my limited spare time I’ve been editing writings about settler colonialism in Hawaiʻi, the complex feelings that arise within multiculturalism, and rage poetry. I don’t think we’re quite ready for all that but in the meantime, I have something a little more subtle to offer you.
After throwing in the towel several months ago with the apothecary, I’ve been isolated from digital spaces. Finding my boundaries with the online world was necessary. Understanding that it’s not going away, however can be navigated safely, is an idea I’ve been sitting and growing comfortable with.
Creation can be a form of destruction.
So please spok (take a look @) the new IG handle for BRINDLED. Follow, share, and be active here. Currently I offer prints for sale and accept donations as I build a new online website to share my own writings, visuals, tangible products, and other offerings to help navigate the times.

🖤 For those who’d like more info to make a small donation to support this project, please respond to this email.
Your support will assist this project with the purchasing of a web domain and online space to feature nourishing writings, community resources for basic human necessities and intersectional herbalism, navigating the various intersections within climate collapse, and a web store for digital and physical products. Like the apothecary, I continue to wish to work with the public in ways that offer community care, reparations and rematriation, and to center the land and indigenous attention. Outside of all this, I’m working hard to make ends meet and therefore ask for community support for this project that has been fueled and requested by community desire.
Take good care and don’t be afraid to take several salt baths per day during these times.
Niawan (gratitude),
Caitlin
