icymi I’d like to establish a new church, The 10,000 Year Church of Love and Space. Book-based religions have real staying power, so it makes sense to create one with the goal of maintaining a 10,000 year old technologically advanced civilization so that we can learn to explore space and actually eventually see what’s out there. Obviously to last this long we will have to reorient around healing and sustaining the miracle of our life-giving planet Earth, so that’s the central theme of our church
@seachanger Are you familiar with Octavia Butler’s “Parable of the Sower”? The main character invented a religion called Starseed, to look beyond and plan beyond, the complete breakdown of society.
Okay, who broke the ICON weather model?!?! Total rain for Ojai from 2/1/24 10am to 2/7/24 7pm says... 23.38 inches in the Ventusky display of ICON. #wx#CAwx#rain#ICON
I remember being frozen & terrified in elementary school, jr high & high school years - whenever they did fire or emergency drills involving really loud alarms going off. In elementary school, I was abandoned during drills & ppl only came to rescue me - after all other kids were back in classes. I was still left alone, terrified, by myself, in dark & empty area. The alarm noises terrified me because I still had war traumas & I ran away from school & hid under a cement deck on first drills.
@msquebanh I am so sorry you were made to endure that. So glad you survived and are sharing your experiences and insights and wisdom with so many people today. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
@msquebanh I hear you. I am so sorry and outraged at the racism and brutality of police. The whole enterprise should be scrapped and replaced with teams from the community that respond to help heal the community.
Hope everyone in NY stays safe. Here's a little music for your Friday. This song is Allah B2y from The Nile Project musicians. I mentioned the project before. It works with musicians from all the countries impacted by the Nile river and water shortage. They tour together to educate people on the issue of water shortage. See second post for more on the project 1/2 https://youtu.be/Slf_oo4s33c?si=KRbRjr2q-V4Vvb1A
Ukraine conducts its counteroffensive without the protection of aviation.
Ukraine fights against an enemy who has a LARGE superiority in numbers.
Ukrainians on the frontlines, the vast majority, are not professional military. They are students, business people, retail workers, musicians, etc. who have never held weapons prior to defending their homes and families against the Russian army.
@KimPerales interesting that the Sheriff immediately stated that the gunman has no group affiliation. How would he know that the same day as the racist terrorist shooting?
@popsci discouraging that the first statement in this Popular Science article is false. Flax seeds do NOT contain EPA and DHA Omega-3 fatty acids, flax contains ALA medium chain omega 3. Elongation of ALA is dependent on a number of cofactors and is rate limited by conversion enzymes that also convert the omega 6’s which are far more abundant in the average modern diet.
