it's infuriating reading #Nexus by @yuvalnoahharari.bsky.social because there's so much right based on a foundation of so much ignorance of the oral tradition & the difference between religion & spirituality! perhaps a read of #TheMemoryCode by @lynne-kelly-42.bsky.social would help

Monarchs hate studies and knowledge… because they realize that an intelligent community is not tyrannized or ruled as peacefully as one that is less intelligent, therefore these monarchs extinguish all knowledge as much as they can.

supremacy's just a story, capitalism a myth, scarcity a narrative they need us to believe in hell made up, prisoners of our own design: divine right of kings & manifest destiny -- an echo chamber of lies! history's repeating one sour note & ignoring the chorus of life

Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people

healing from abusive systems like high control religion is a life long endeavour, a spiral path ever nearer & farther from the heart of the wound. the panic, depression, & tears become familiar guides through the shadows when we welcome them w/o shame or blame. #recoveringpastor

Just wondering:
If we take one of those new Scottish cruises on small, repurposed fishing vessels...
Do we get to eat lox whilst traveling through locks in the lochs?

today was a self love day after supporting others the last few: walking at the park, singing to the trees, reciting my naming poems, talking to my counselor, having a picnic, smoking a joint, playing music & sending a rambling message to my bestie

Still thinking of Sinéad on the 3rd anniversary of her untimely death. One of her very best songs:
But, I will rise and I will return
The phoenix from the flame
I have learned, I will rise
And you'll see me return being what I am
There is no other Troy for me to burn

when it happens, it's going to start & as much as I think it is long overdue, it's what's next that has more consequences. all empires based on the Romans devolve to tyrants, i prefer a Napoleon to a Caesar, but that's just me; one united the world the other consumed it
