βAny system which says, This is a rotten world, wait for the next, give up, do nothing, succumb β that may be the basic Lie and if we participate in believing it and acting (or rather not acting) on it we involve ourselves in the Lie and suffer dreadfullyβ -Philip K Dick
This is the third Gulf War I have opposed and it appears this is the big one. Good morning!

some songs carry whole chapters with βem.
after a few notes, suddenly a person, a room, a season of life walks back in.

You know the feeling in your stomach when you were learning how to jump in the deep end and you willed your toes to the very end of the diving board? And you couldn't yet trust the water to hold you? The hesitation, the pressure, the fear? Do you now know how to just run off the end and leap?
Me as a bird when Spring hits.
Stunning.
No I will not feel guilty for being outside, with a Blue Moon, with a new friend, on the hunt for Art.

I love a good music documentary. Where else would I find important bits of music history like, "From the very beginning of The Smiths, Morrissey behaved like a Big-Time Charlie Potato."
I made a list of some stellar docs for all of you Big-Time Charlie Potatoes...

Iβve seen enough. Not about the election. Just generally.
Needs a documentary.
I love a blood moon eclipse.
Colleagues describe her as competent and no-nonsense.
I might get away with βcompetentβ but no one is ever going to call me βno-nonsenseβ
How am I just now seeing this, holy shit
Just let her be the supreme ruler of all things and get in with it. #stat
Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isnβt living in a bubble. I donβt need to know whatβs going on at X. I wonβt be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

My friends who live in tents or cars or have 90 roommates are like "which orgs can get aid into which countries right now? I think I have five bucks. I'm trying to learn Farsi so I can see what's going on in this news server" and the lake housers are like "timeline cleanse. What brings you joy?"
