Can this movie be any slower? 😴 How long can they focus on the creature being unknown? I want blood, mayhem, INSANITY #svengoolie

Yeeeeessssss

Unfortunate news Today, Lama Tsultrim announced to sangha that she's been diagnosed with uterus cancer. The good news is it's stage 1 & most ppl fully recover when caught in this early stage She asks that everyone hold her in a vision of good health. Attached is one of her long life prayers

A couple Xtian fundies recently came into the bookstore &, finding out a worker is an ordained Zen priest, offered to lay hands on him to "save" him 🙃

The Bruenigs 🙄

Haven't been here much at all but hope everyone's ok at the moment

Democrats never closed GITMO, even after everyone learned about who was being g jailed there & in what conditions. This really gives me concern over what their plan is, if they're even devising one, regarding sending people to El Salvador

This is an appreciation post for Roger B. Steely! Today, Roger was strolling thru our courtyard & we learned he designed it as well as did the stonework. He also planted the magnolia tree that is the central piece of beauty to the area

Lama Zopa Rinpoche's rebirth was found in Nepal

Regarding a popular skeet circulating I'm all for diversity of tactics. That said, pussy hats are transphobic & were largely racist when they focused on the color pink. I don't know if they've expanded beyond that color over the years

Q: "Why are culture and art important while the world is burning?" A: "The world has been burning since 1492. Art and culture have been crucial for creating a sense of belonging, spreading radical ideas, resisting empire, imagining new worlds, building community, and helping you find your murder."

One of the biggest issues when discussing rural America is the term "farmers." The news says things like "farmers support [hideous RW policy]" and you picture broke hayseeds who live in trailers on a few acres, like me. But what they mean are rich plantation owners who have never picked up a shovel.

Never thought I'd be excited about getting a new air purifier but I'm pumped! Honestly, with the amount of incense & candles I burn as offerings, I should have been using one in since I was a teen

This discourse sucks so bad because hundreds of thousands of people going out into the street to say fuck billionaires and the government is cool, but the people who mobilize the resources and connections are snitch-ass pieces of shit who are much more likely to collaborate than resist.

“Organizers from Indivisible had asked WHOA to speak and to table at this event. However, they have demanded that our speaker not mention solidarity with Palestine, and we will not participate in erasing a genocide.” From GSOWHOA:

A massive banner was been furled in DC. It contained the names of Palestinians killed by Israel since October 2023 by Zionist ruling trash in Israel and the US.

I've been pretty quiet here lately but I've really been re-exploring my love of peanut butter & jelly sammiches

Sorry, I can't. I'm too busy (obsessing over "Only Dust Remains" by Backxwash) open.spotify.com/album/0fqGVB...

My friend - "You probably are some kind of Zionist but don't realize it because you think Israel should exist, right?" Me -

Corey Booker voted this afternoon to keep sending bombs to Israel, which is much, much more meaningful and important than a speech about values, even if it did last 25 hours.

Expecting a Cbus bluesky weather check in at approx midnight

Pre - storm selfie from the roof of the book loft (my face looks as weathered as the sky & I take pride in that 😌)

Do you think it'll be Harris who Sanders & AOC push their momentum to? Maybe Booker, since his powerless stunt possibly alludes to him running again? Or that democrat in Cali who's podcasting with proto fascists?

How are my cbus peeps doing? Pretty crazy in Linden but no houses blown away as if yet

There are democrat organizers in Columbus who talk to the police. Too many have a dangerously short memory or pay zero attention to historic record

It truly is a shame ppl are being kidnapped off the streets Remember, in Columbus in 2020, Columbus pigs in unmarked vans rolled up on ppl & abducted them off the streets. One was witnessed by a large crowd, one was witnessed by a single person who captured it on video from a block away

JUST IN: Republican Party's New Mexico headquarters hit by Molotov cocktail, "ICE=KKK" written on wall

Just a word of warning to ppl who may be new to protesting (& this is happening in cbus)- If actions are organized by dems, make the very safe assumption that they talk to police, which puts ppl in attendance, especially marginalized groups, at risk of police violence & intimidation

Popped up in my photo memories. From a giant End Gun Violence rally in Cbus. We weren't about that noise the liberals there were making, the disempowerment of the oppressed via getting rid of gun access to the average person.

used to not have toilets, shade or drinking water cause bosses said it was too expensive. With pesticides we would work too close to the spray. Thanks to Cesar Chavez they changed those things. Join us in marching for Cesar Chávez - Francisco, CA farmworker, 28 yrs #WeFeedYou

Was nice to see Virginia Woolf finally relax at the end of the movie. Wading out into that nice cool water must have felt refreshing... Hold the fort

First time watching "The Hours" Why hasn't anyone told me it was a feel good movie?

By the way, I published a piece in Syncopation Literary Journal that mentions both Godzilla and #Svengoolie. Called "Rewiring My Childhood with Blue Oyster Cult and Classic Monsters." It's in Volume 4, Issue 1, under creative nonfiction if you're interested. syncopationliteraryjournal.wordpress.com
