People want INTELLECT to solve our problems so we don’t have to FEEL anything unpleasant. It becomes a pattern. Then habit. Lifestyle. Culture. World. Grief finds us anyway. Quiet moments. Crowded rooms. Brain & Heart must inform each other for either to function properly. #UnitaryConsciousness

Taillows form communal flocks of thousands of mated pairs. They have a varied diet, consisting of insects, grains, berries, and nuts. While they cannot fly remarkably fast, they have tremendous stamina. During their seasonal migrations they can cover 180 miles in a single day. #Pokemon #birds

Honored to have one of my photos selected to dispay at the Louisville Art Show - there was over 800 photos submitted and it was one of 19 photos to receive an award... #photography #birds #birdphotography #naturephotography

We seek technology to save us from the worst of human nature. It’s a futile endeavor. The human appetite for social advantage is a spiritual affliction expressed from the inside-out as EXPLOITATION. This hunger is never satiated from the outside-in. Awareness is the medicine no one wants to take.

Relative to proximate cause of “the world going to hell in a handbasket” - aka "the human condition" - the obstinate refusal to acknowledge personal error (and subsequently self-correct) is hairsplittingly close. It blinds us to What Is. And binds us to What Is Not. (IDENTITY is a notorious liar.)

WORLD GOTH DAY strikes me as antithetical to Goth, but every aspect of life is strangled by Paradox, so I can live with it - and die with it, too.

New to the Cecilia Suarez bandwagon, but Snakes And Ladders (Netflix) did the trick. Smart script. Great cast. Funny. Good vibe for a dark comedy. Suarez has brilliant comedic skill, as does the ridiculously charming Juan Pablo Medina - 2 gifted actors with the harmonic frequency of lime & tequila.

Laurie Anderson’s BIG SCIENCE (1982) made a big splash in the music press. I didn’t hear her until MISTER HEARTBREAK 2 years later. Saw her on the STRANGE ANGELS tour. Her work - like all great art - speaks for itself simply because it can. Truth is funny that way.❤️‍🔥 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABjm...

Been awhile since I’ve listened to new music this heavy, and it’s giving me Acapulco Gold & truancy flashbacks.

We don’t need to be making each other’s lives more difficult than they already are. A little empathy goes a very long way.

Global Fascism has arrived, and the 119th Congress is facilitating its entrenchment in the public mind. If stating this without excuses & rationalizations offends the delicate sensibilities of party loyalists, perhaps they need to be offended. Lives are at stake. theintercept.com/2025/05/15/t...

I’ll refrain from a “tip o’the iceberg” quip, but this is truly a fascinating and edifying story.

The intersection of social status and institutional power is a freakshow of human failure. “The best and brightest” are, in fact, neither. This may or may not be a comforting revelation, but it’s certainly a useful one.

If the Fourth Estate transcended its lofty mythology, this is how journalism would read. The fact that it doesn't speaks volumes about the relationship between self-deceit, culture and institutional power.

US culture is now geared for 2 classes: EXPLOITER vs. EXPLOITED. It's a •deliberate result• of ERASING THE CONCEPT OF PUBLIC by equating Common Good with Communism, and Social Advantage with Freedom. Fascism has been the RW long game since FDR. Electoral politics are more symptomatic than causative.

Since The Regime and its legislative & judicial toadies are all unambiguously waging a eugenecist war on every aspect of public health (not that the US has or had much of an actual public health system), we might want to keep up with the latest pathogenic threats. “We" meaning each of us personally.

So many people are still in this-won’t-happen-to-me mode. Acquiescence & Denial are apparently prerequisites for holding elected office these days. Then again, Appeasement is hardly a new phenomenon. Making daily deals with The Devil is how we dug this hole. We will not be digging our way out of it.

Power invariably attracts the weakness. Ignorance. Conceit. Recklessness. Selfishness. Narrow intelligence. Moths to the flame. That is the true nature of Power. The antithesis of Power is SERVICE. Alas, most are far too weak to discern one from the other. Only AWARENESS makes Discernment possible.
