Wowww it has been so fun pre-camping with some of the team this weekend! This announcement post for #dwebcampcascadia was made in front of an epic view of Saanich Inlet with Salt Spring on the horizon. Blessed to be working with these people, in this place 💞

A scene of the shore, ocean and islands - the view looking northeast over the Saanich Inlet from the coast of Vancouver Island, near Bakerview, BC. The southern peak of Salt Spring island is visible in the far horizon.

There was a huge X-class solar flare yesterday on the Sun! You can see it on the right-hand limb in these SDO images. I find it so neat that we live next to, and can study, a star. We take it for granted that it's "the Sun" and it's always in the sky, but there is a star and it is RIGHT THERE. 🔭

Really enjoying this article, glad you wrote it @dasniel.com. I'm particularly taking away The Lost Cause principle as a tool for comprehending and adjusting to the emergent nature of reality. Already translating this to broad swaths of life!

Wow, Hackenschmidt's take on the tyranny of memory and virtue of forgetfulness SO aligns and expands on with my own XP and theories of life derived from Vipassana meditation, Buddhist philosophied writ large, psychedelics, etc. Recommended read! Thank you @sarahrobins.bsky.social for reposting it
