Friendly reminder that using someone’s correct pronouns, whether they are around or not, is important. Mine are they/them/Venerable. If you hear someone make a mistake; a gentle ‘actually, they use they/them pronouns’ or whichever that person uses is one of the best ways you can be a decent human.

Watching my mind trying to convince me that some chanting or meditation will be of use in this chaos. These things are useful to ground our minds so that we can do the hard work of what is ethical and loving. #spiritualbypassing

Grateful to dhamma friends Pei and Jia for taking me in while we deal with the mould infestation at khemāloka. Their faith and generosity in setting up Rhonda Place as a place for monastics is inspiring

1. Florida banned cities from lighting up bridges rainbow colors for Pride. So the people of Jacksonville did it themselves using flashlights and gels. They opened the drawbridge to block them. So they marched to a different bridge. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

The household life is cramped, a dusty path the life gone forth is free as air… until that air is full of mould. Cough, splutter. Grateful for a clean place to stay.

In case y'all missed it - Utah Republicans ordered a study on transgender healthcare, expecting it to come back unsupportive. Instead, it found that trans youth care was safe and effective, and that transgender youth need it. Whoops. www.sltrib.com/news/politic...

This is an incredible story. Extremely well written deep dive into an entire generation captured by generative AI. Even professors are using AI to grade AI written papers. Wild.

Happy democracy day Australia. If, today, you don’t feel the stress of your existence being politicised; you are very fortunate and possibly deluded. Please use your privellege wisely. Vote for the planet, indigenous people, people below the poverty line, in detention camps, war zones, trans people.

I got my daily unsolicited text message from Trumpet of Parrots. This time telling me to vote for someone whose electorate I haven't lived in for 10 years. They are clearly buying data from very old data brokers who have my ancient business details.

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... Bhante @sujato.bsky.social has been saying exactly this for a while (right down to trad wives)! Do not support AI for so many reasons. It's misinformation, it objectifies women, itt spread right-wing propoganda, it de-values knowledge, creativity and humanity.

I have spent the past seven years living & learning from nature. I can tell you that forest is full of diversity. No two trees are the same, The crooked ones are by far the most beautiful It is only when people want to control and profit from nature that we see uniformity.

When we take away the rights of trans women we take away the rights of all women to safety & bodily autonomy. The policing of gender creates a system of power, control and fear. Diversity is beauty, love & freedom. I stand with trans women #trans #mayallbeingsbehappy #rainbodhi

Protect the wisdom protectors. I have said this often and I will say it again. Protect the storytellers, librarians, educators, documentarians, caretakers, creators, artists, memory preservers, performers, elders, writers, history recorders, and archivists. Become a wisdom protector.

I have watched more & more friends turn to Substack in the past few months. PLEASE DON'T DO THIS! #Substack has well-documented problems with platforming literal Nazis, as well as writers spreading Covid misinformation, anti-vaccine propaganda, & transphobia. Long post here: bit.ly/substacksux
