  • Autonomy is Our Divine Right

    There is a lie that power clings to, a lie whispered through history and etched into laws written by men who fear losing control. It tells us that autonomy is granted. That our right to exist as we are must be legislated and approved.

    But that has never been the truth.

    No government, no institution, no self-proclaimed authority holds the power to grant or revoke what is already ours. Autonomy is not given. It is owned. And when that ownership is threatened, we do not step back. We fight malice where it stands.

    This is not just a belief. It is a call to action.

    When we stand against those who seek to erase, diminish, or control us, we do so not just for ourselves but for those who have been silenced before and those who will come after. We refuse to make oppression more comfortable. We reject the idea that neutrality is anything but complicity. There is no room for civility when people’s dignity, safety, and existence are at stake.

    Not all views deserve a place at the table.

    The notion that every perspective is valid falls apart when that perspective demands harm. There is no middle ground between justice and injustice. No reconciliation between freedom and control. No conversation to be had with those who believe some people are worth less than others.

    We do not break bread with those who stand against progress.

    This is not a time for silence. Not a time for waiting, hoping, or appealing to the better nature of those who have already chosen their side. It is a time to draw boundaries, fortify ourselves, and stand as a force too powerful to be ignored.

    If you’ve been waiting for permission to take up space, to exist without apology, to hold your ground against those who would see you small: this is it.

    You are loved.

    Your identity is valid.

    And no matter how hard they try, they will never erase us.

  • A Call to Revelry and Community

    My name is Teopixqui Dez, and this is my voice. I’ve spent my life walking the thin line between structure and rebellion, order and the undeniable pull of something deeper. I was raised in a world that told me healing belonged to the privileged, that community had to be earned, and that the pursuit of self-discovery was secondary to survival.

    I refused to accept that.

    I’ve seen what happens when people are denied connection: to themselves, to others, and to the vast and chaotic universe we’re all woven into. I’ve felt the weight of that isolation, and I’ve watched too many suffer under the lie that they must endure it alone.

    The Community of PACK Life was born from a single, undeniable truth: We are meant to revel. To explore, to connect, to challenge the boundaries of what we have been told is possible. This church – this movement – isn’t about dogma or hierarchy. It’s about reclaiming what has always belonged to us. Healing should not be a privilege. Neither should community, safety, or the right to stand in your own power without apology. I built this space because I know what it is to be unseen, and I refuse to let that continue for others.

    This blog will be a space where I speak openly, about my experiences, about the foundation and evolution of this Community, and about the truths we are fighting to embody. Some of you may find your own stories reflected here. Some of you may feel called to walk beside us. And some of you may simply be seeking a different way to see the world. No matter the reason, I welcome you into this space.

    Because at the end of the day, the Universe provides, but we must choose to revel within it. We are not meant to live small, to shrink in the face of discomfort, or to wait for permission to take up space. If you’ve been looking for a place where you don’t have to justify your existence; where healing, discovery, and connection are yours by right, then you’ve found it.

    And if you’re still searching, know this: You are not alone.

    This is only the beginning.
