Trite thought on a Sunday night: Stability is a virtue born of practice. You build it the same way you build anything else: one deliberate choice at a time, even when nobody’s watching. #routine

Pool report from @svdate.bsky.social, who is at the World Cup ceremony: "The president walked onto the field at 1826 to a sustained chorus of boos. Ambient crowd noise was about 78 decibels. Booing brought it to 84."
Again: there is no “necessary suffering.” There is getting comfortably numb regarding other people’s pain.
I was young the first time the news disturbed me and how fortunate for me my great-grandmother was alive. "Oh Allie, I am so sorry. None of this is new. Your parents think they discovered injustice. [she cackled] Hardship and cruelty are constants best combated, not by outrage, but love."
A truly fantastic description of codependency: Yes, I will drive you across two provinces to see a specialty herbalist. For myself, I shall do nothing. Highlights ever-present guilt and low self worth that must be overcome with obsessive service to others. Cannot let vileness be discovered.
Some months ago, I saw a quote: “I want to tell you the gentlest thing.” I wonder what it meant—“You are seen”? “You can rest”? For me, gentleness feels like morning light on hills, the scent of linden trees, a quiet kindness that asks nothing. I would like to be told the gentlest thing.
Ekaterina Morozova 🇷🇴@ekaterina3.bsky.social · 2mo agoAcum câteva luni am văzut un citat: „Vreau să-ți spun cel mai blând lucru.” De atunci mă întreb ce a vrut să spună omul care l-a scris. Ce lucru poate fi atât de blând încât trebuie rostit aproape ca o rugăciune?
Annelisa's "Good For You" made its way to my daily playlist. Assumed she was a star or on par with Katseye or Madison Beer. No she is only like 18!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Beautiful song and the lyrics...brutal, brutal, brutal. Give here some love. #Music #Annelisa youtu.be/VmrgZrIJ1m4?...

As quickly as I am drawn in visually, I hear heels slapping cobblestone. I smell stale humidity mixed with night's lingering exhaust fumes. I feel the gentle breeze of the alley's breath. Is it a sooty taste? Visual experience invites the other senses.
Pope Leo is an Augustinian. Trump has nothing on him. Trump has no courage and his anger isn’t for Hope but for enrichment, a hold on power, or personal grievances. He is a hopeless man, no vision for others. His world view is one of pure cynicism and selfishness. Courage+Anger=Change. Mother Hope
State the obvious: Your opportunities to move, to change, to explore, to meet, to learn, to see, hear and feel will arrive in a moment. Your escape or next adventure may arrive on a trolley car...or maybe from a cell tower or nodding hello to a stranger.
There is not a grand jury in America that will indict E. Jean Carroll. We see you.
Billionaires with ties to EA and the biggest AI companies are pouring massive amounts of money to flood the content creator ecosystem with AI doomer content. Don’t fall for it!! @nitasha.bsky.social joins me to break down her reporting.

To resist, we can take many paths. Sometimes we are vocal and active. Sometimes we combat injustice with love, gentleness and gestures of subtle beauty. All are valid if motivated by uplifting others. There is a bit of everything here with the common thread of uplifting. go.bsky.app/21rmxxm
Historically art and architecture were inspired by the Divine. Today, even our atheist brothers and sisters can be inspired by having their attention drawn upward to the Heavens--out of self, toward the other and into the unknowable vastness. #Perspective
Simplicity is a salve during difficult times. Whether personally or related to local or world events. I reach for images such as this one and the associations I have with them--warmth, family, childhood, smells, light, shuffling sounds of care and love.
Reading posts, I wonder do people come by their political beliefs: --As the result of lived experience, study, reading OR --As an expression of Cluster B Personality Disorder Symptoms? #DSM #Sensitivity #Abandonment #MoodSwings
Trump was elected to wipe the trauma of the first black president from American history, a task which included scrapping the nuclear deal that had the US in a much better strategic position than before this needless, unconstitutional war of choice against Iran
Workplace “innovation culture” often resembles a stage set: neon slogans, modular furniture, and a promise of disruption that never quite materializes. Bored of templates. #officeecology
People talk about “public transit” like it’s some abstract policy debate, but it’s literally the difference between someone getting to work or losing their job. A bus that runs on time isn’t a luxury. It’s dignity, mobility, and a shot at stability. #transit
Knowledge of history gives context to the present. Embracing historical facts is an intellectual endeavor. Events, especially places, orient. Then a corollary visceral component lends color and detail. I indulge the emotional content of locations and architecture as they have much to say.
