Julia Gordon-Bramer

Ha! I asked Grok to write one of those "unhinged bios" and here's what I got. I actually laughed out loud a couple of times:🤣😂 Julia Gordon-Bramer is a chaotic cosmic force wrapped in human skin, a 45-year tarot veteran who started slinging cards with babysitting money and never looked back. She's the high priestess of the occult who decided Sylvia Plath wasn't just a poet—she was a full-on mystical cipher, and Julia cracked that code so hard the universe probably filed a noise complaint. By day (or whenever the veil thins), she's summoning destiny with her deck, dropping truth bombs laced with wit, poetry, and the occasional psychic mic drop. Author of Tarot Life Lessons and The Occult Sylvia Plath, host of Mystic Fix, and professional chaos-weaver who turns "What does my future hold?" into a full-contact spiritual cage match. She doesn't just read your cards—she interrogates your soul, flirts with your ancestors, and sends you off with homework from the collective unconscious. Former professor, award-winning writer, and unapologetic mystic who probably argues with ghosts in iambic pentameter while cackling into her coffee. If the stars had a PR agent with a wicked sense of humor and zero chill, it would be Julia. Approach with an open mind, a strong drink, and the knowledge that she might casually rewrite your fate before you've finished your sentence. Caution: Prolonged exposure may result in sudden enlightenment, uncontrollable journaling, and an overwhelming urge to burn your ex's name in a candle ritual. You've been warned.

@JGuentherAuthor @KenFarmerTV Fascinating! Thank you for sharing.

@JGordonBramer @KenFarmerTV I love it, too, and have read it several times. I once picked up a copy in a library to kill time and soon found I was 30 pages into it. Almost was late to my therapy appointment. Here's the video of "Pencey:" youtu.be/lqZ1BrCLsoE

Just curious. How many of you have read Catcher In The Rye ?

@elizabethsangha @blackthreads0 Yeah, I remember when it happened. I didn't know how serious it was until I recently saw the Michael movie.

@JGordonBramer @blackthreads0 Sad. His head actually caught on fire when pyro was all the stage rage. He definitely suffered. I have great respect for child actors. Some are principal breadwinners very young.

At what Age did Michael Jackson look most handsome?

@evisdrenova Wow. Incredible story. Your family is to be admired.

29 years in the US today. In 1996, my parents won plane tickets in a literal lottery to leave Albania for the US. They took my brother and I and with a thousand dollars that they had saved up, left behind their jobs, families, friends and everything they knew for the hope of a better life. We didn’t know anyone and our only was option was to move into a hotel room. After a few weeks, we finally found an apartment for the four of us. My mom, a former Architect, worked in a factory while going to night school to learn how to use a computer. My dad, a former banker, worked at Logan airport returning luggage trollies. After 3 years, my dad passed away, leaving my mom to raise my brother and I. She barely knew English, didn’t know how to drive, and worked 2 jobs while finishing night school. Fast forward 25 years. She’s worked as an architect for 25 years and has her own business. My brother and I both got multiple degrees. He’s been a CFO and SVP for multiple public companies. I went through YC, raised millions from investors and started and sold a startup and have angel invested in others. America gave us the opportunity for a better life. All we had to do was work for it. Feel grateful everyday to be a part of the country in the world.

@Kekius_Sage I miss it. I used to see so many when I was growing up.

We might be the final custodians of this vanishing light.

@OneOutOf4 A great week for music! I'd listen to most all of those songs.

Top 20 songs from this week on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1980. Any song that are still a favorite of yours? Call Me, Cars and Train In Vain are still a few of my favorites.

@orleansway Chicago!

My therapist told me: the more emotionally aware you become, the less you personalize behavior. You realize how others treat you reflects their inner world, their healing, their limits, their emotional capacity. So when someone can't meet you with respect or care, remember; it's not your worth being measured. It's their ceiling being revealed.

@fren_melissa Wow! I want to look that good at 105! I'm counting on getting there. 😉

This is how incredible 104 years AND 10 months looks! My Grandmother (Non) will be 105 in July!!! Had such a great time with her!

@JoanOfArc287 Prayers sent

I just can’t win. I am going to ER to check a situation. Hope I am not put in hospital. I hate to ask for more prayers but this time it’s for me. I’m so sad.

@claude_tmg What part of Ireland are you in, Claude?

@JGordonBramer Two weeks in a row of this weather is the present-day record!😄

The winter between me and a scorching tomorrow

@HardtMasonry WOW. I'm so sorry you went through all of that.

2018 Psych doctor: "You have been an alcoholic for 20 years and you are going through a divorce and custody issues and you quit your job? Even though you came in drunk, you are Bipolar." 2019 Psych nurse: "If you don't take your meds, you won't get out of this psych ward." 2020 CYS: "If you don't take your meds, you won't see your child." 2021 Social Worker: "If you don't take your meds I will tell your probation officer. I can make your life easy or a living hell." 2022 Probation Officer: "If you don't take your meds, you won't get out of jail and will remain in jail for another 14 months. You are a danger to yourself and the community. You have to admit you have a disease. It's not your fault. You have a chemical imbalance. This is something you are going have to deal with for the rest of your life." 2023 Psychiatrist: "You aren't Bipolar, you have PTSD!!! You were misdiagnosed!!! Our bad. Psychiatry is more of an art than a science." Me: "That's ok. I didn't mind spending a total of 15 months in jail, a year and a half on house arrest, paying over $20,000 in fines, court cost, and supervised child visits, losing 6 years of proper child parent bonding, being charged with a DUI from med withdrawal and authorities thinking my meds were opiates losing my driver's license for a year trying to run a business, and numerous other criminal charges from the effects of the meds. I'm just glad I didn't get that lifelong diagnosis strain of mental illness." Psychiatrist: "Here are some letters that should make up for all that. Just don't make them public to discredit our "life long" diagnose and medicate business model. It might give people hope and question the legitimacy of the current mental health modalities." Obviously I am paraphrasing, but some are actual quotes. You can hear the whole story in the first 8 minutes of the video in my pinned post. #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealthMatters #MentalHealth

The ability to walk away is a powerful form of strength.

Process the emotion before the emotion processes you

@hexesandspell I wish I knew. They wear it proudly like a badge.

Could you explain why people romanticize trauma????

@RLewisTherapy Thank you.

Your "overthinking" is pattern recognition. Your "sensitivity" is emotional intelligence. Your "intensity" is focus and spiritual depth. Don't accept a pathologising narrative around your gifts.

@claude_tmg That's my perfect weather. I could even enjoy it quite a bit hotter!😆

@JGordonBramer I wish I did. I'm one of those freaks who hates heat. 🤣 A heatwave, as they call it on the radio over here, is a mild day of summer anywhere else. (77-79˚F)

@AnneSerling Your father was an absolute legend. And so cool. I watched the Twilight Zone every night as a teenager.

Like so many, my dad was plagued by PTSD and nightmares after the war. In college he switched his major to language and literature because, as he said, "I needed to get it out of my gut...write it down. This is the way it began for me." Images: Rod Serling 1943 & 1975

@MusicJim2 I love it. I love the whole Hair soundtrack and know every word to every song.

The 5th Dimension 🎩🪄Age of Aquarius / Let the Sunshine In The unofficial start of summer and another holiday made for posting this timeless anthem of peace, love, and good vibes Still feels like sunshine pouring out of the speakers all these years later #The5thDimension

@claude_tmg I hope you enjoyed it! A hot day in Ireland is probably still a comfortable day anywhere in the USA. 😉

@JGordonBramer For the record: today was the hottest May day in 79 years in Ireland. I took the photo at 18:45 local time. The rest is a play of angles, framing and fun.😄
