My favorite new word of the day: Callipygian - a person who has beautifully shaped or well-proportioned buttocks.

My word of the day: KLEPTOMNESIA Adam Grant defines it as “accidentally remembering ideas of others as our own.” Derrida would say that this is all kleptomnesia may be all there is…and that’s okay.
There is a last, best place. A last best nerve. This is it.
Pepper Spray should be standard issue if Prez Kevin is going to be within a mile of a woman.
This is now the second voting cycle for Sacnurse and me since we became citizens. IOW, we're still new at this. How do you all decide who to vote for on down-ticket races? I'm pretty party-centric for federal and major state races. But others? How do I get past their propaganda?
I’d love to give myself over to liberosis, but vellichor just won’t allow me. And that’s a good thing. Learn a word a day—no, two—and use them in a sentence.
I don’t know why, but according to the company that make The Laughing Cow Cheese, she is not laughing any more. She hasn’t said why…but she has said “We need to talk; right on the package”. Here's why your Laughing Cow cheese isn't laughing anymore - USA TODAY
My experience as a former pastor/christian of many decades is that christians often criticize books they have never read. America has an abysmal literacy rate. According to data breakdowns from groups like the National Literacy Institute, about 21% of U.S. adults are functionally illiterate,
To my poetry friends. I've loved William Carlos Williams for many reasons over the years. But I can't figure out why "so much depends" on a red wheelbarrow. I don't want AI's shittification here. Can someone explain it to me?
Wait a second...I thought Ronald Reagan already launched our Star Wars Defense System? I remember...that was a hoax designed to discourage the Russians from fighting the cold war any more. I wonder why the military would make this announcement? Same reason?
The New York Times@nytimes.com · 3w agoThe U.S. has stationed weapons in Earth’s orbit, an air force official said on Monday. It’s the first such public acknowledgment by a Pentagon official after years of preparations to counter potential deployments by Russia and China.
IFS Teaching Moment. In internal family systems, we believe the mind has many parts that exist as neural networks from the time of birth. We assign these parts tasks. One task is to protect us. One of these managers is called a Numbing Part. It has several very important roles to play. 1/2
MacKerricher State Park along California’s north coast. This is one of my favorite places in the world.
On our early morning power walk, Sacnurse and I were overwhelmed by the sun. This life-giving entity felt like a person bathing us in her care.
So Prez Kevin said what? That if you vote against "those socialists" he would redistribute the wealth of the People to everyone? (ie. $5000 checks) Socialism 101: Redistribute the wealth of the people so everyone benefits.
DOGE was never about saving money. It never saved money because it wasn't designed to. It was designed to eliminate government inspectors. Any jobs that regulated business. It was laissez-faire Capitalism. All the GOP wants is no restrictions on industry Disasters are collateral damage of profits
Notice that a person noticed, cared, and provided a plan to walk forward. Any of us can be that friend if we are paying attention. A powerful thread.
Bonnie Lynne@msbonnielynne.bsky.social · 4w agoA 🧵 On Suicide Prevention: Every 40 seconds, someone somewhere dies by suicide. Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. There have been two times in my life when I suddenly “disappeared” from my daily life for a while. The first was more than 20 years ago.
Always remember that "heck" is a portmanteau of "hell" and "fuck" and that christians created it so they could feel better about being heckishly pissed off and could still feel superior to everyone else. To heck with them.

As "Prez Kevin" gets more desperate and sees the Day of Reckoning approaching more rapidly than his hair can handle...this is my theme song. youtu.be/ePsqyPMIg6I?...

"Inspired by the bravery and patriotism of Apple and Google, we are changing the name of 'South Park' to 'SOUTH AMERICA,'" creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone said in a joint statement. "We especially want to thank our parent company Paramount – a Skydance Capitulation." #SouthPark #Blues
Unless Capitalists believe they can make money on something, they consider it a waste of effort. Case in point: William Gladstone, British Chancellor of the Exchequer and future PM, questioned Michael Faraday on why he should care about electricity. Faraday said: “One day sir, you can tax it.”
Watching “Death of the Pastor’s Wife” is so cringeable for me personally. As a former preacher: His preaching is purely awful! It’s the typical “Youth pastor turned Senior Pastor best buddy condescension” drivel. As a therapist: how can Evangelicals not see what damage sexual repression causes?
In my series on Attachment difficulties, I lay out the beginning stages for my healing journey. This will lead in following videos into deeper understanding into how the mind processes early teachings and how to change these. www.instagram.com/p/Dc1gPDFOTEc/

None of these is small. If you are doing just a few of these consistently, your energy vibration will match that of higher consciousness levels. Try it for awhile.
