#ebbs
People often ask me how I stay positive amidst the ebbs & flows of politics as a Democrat—the big swings between hope & disappointment?

And I tell them, I am a lifetime fan of Florida Gator football.

Big surf. It builds and then ebbs. If you count there’s a pattern. Every 6th or whatever number will be the biggest wave, then it will subside and rebuild.
Sneaker waves are often in a pattern but it is a long one and people don’t notice.

seriously though, i know creativity isn't the same as productivity but give yourself a break! ebbs and flows! nurturing ideas and skill development don't always proceed in a linear fashion side by side. you've been making loads of art lately! also your music AU? you've been developing a story, no?!

Even if this current wave of religious intolerance and violence ebbs away, the ever-present danger of superstitious religious beliefs will go on unabated.
So long as gullible people can be manipulated by obvious existential untruths, all religions will always be a threat to basic human freedoms.

Heading into the meaty part of the holiday time frame.

Grief can be odd, it ebbs and flows.

imo, yes, keep a tradition alive from the deceased person. But add something new. Hey, let's start doing "X" etc.

And if a tradition no longer fits, tradition is peer pressure from dead people....drop it!

You're right. I hope it wakes her up. And that the brother starts acting right.

Strength ebbs really fast as we age--I was shocked to see it in my own body, esp hands and arms. But I know what to do!

Casey O'Brien is eager to write her next chapter, while the Sirens face ebbs and flows in their 2026-27 schedule. Also, the roster is set for an intense training camp as the New York Sirens look to contend in the new Eastern Conference.

- to frame it a bit differently - these under the surface effects are relatively consistent, a "property" of that population if you will, so what we're saying is that despite ebbs/flows the "left of labour" vote hasn't really shifted for that population even if individuals have shuffled about.

As his power ebbs, the last thing he's going to let go is revenge. The heuristic to never stop trying to hurt those who oppose his is his most fundamental software. The day he takes his last breath he'll still be plotting how to get back at people who refused to bend the knee.

Traditional Opera is a vocal exercise in Italian with classical music. This song was preceded by Phantom of the Opera and followed by To tame a land by the same band. It’s Operatic Heavy Metal in it’s purest form in my opinion. It ebbs, it flows, it rises and it sinks, a musical roller coaster.

Grief does not disappear. It ebbs and flows, often resurfacing unexpectedly, long after others assume it should have settled.

I'd say 10-year terms but allow re-confirmation. A compromise between longevity to resist the flows and ebbs of popular opinion and democratic principles.

Or just make it a lot easier to impeach them for violating clear codes of conduct.

Trying to teach my five year old that the Dallas Cowboys are a distinct comedic entity in no way tied to the independent ebbs and flows of the Philadelphia Eagles. It’s important to laugh.

There are times when my optimism for humanity's future ebbs.
The last public execution in America was in 1936. A young black man in Kentucky was hanged by a drunk executioner; a news story said "They Ate Hotdogs While a Man Died." Was such an embarrassment that the governor outlawed it 18 months later www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Fort Hood shooter’s execution will be live-streamed, Defense Dept. says
“We’ll make sure that people are able to watch it,” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Thursday about the firing squad execution of convicted Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan.

FWIW, I do like him, he’s just A LOT lately. Ebbs & flows, friends.

About 1/10 hate crimes get charged.

We have a problem with perceived impunity (based on experience of getting away with it). Big issue online since 2022. Ebbs + flows with offline offences.

Not so many perpetators that some visible rapid policing, prosecution could check the sense of impunity

Know how this is. My reading ebbs and flows, I think last year I read like 5 books or so, but this year uh not so much.

Audiobooks really helped, especially for "duller" books I could turn on while drawing/etc. Sometimes though it is just a mood thing, and that's OK.

sorry bucko the likes agree with me, I win

I think a lot of men assume that women's anger over this stuff being a constant backdrop is something ebbs, flows and periodically reaches boiling points when actually the only two modes are "boiling point" and "one degree below the boiling point"
This is sexual violence as a form of terrorism. It is political violence and it is chilling and horrific, and AOC was absolutely right to be terrified that the goons (now pardoned) laying siege to the capital would rape her if they found her.

Small changes won't fix this.

Small status update
I am the type to fall into the ebbs and flows and grooves of seasonal mood swings, and I'm doing an event on my stream (MyrmidonVT), so production is a bit slow. I am trying my best and I did some good progress on creating the world in 3D!

I believe we need to honor the ebbs and flows of creativity. It helps us not burn out.

Sometimes when I want to paint but I’m feeling low energy, I sit with my paintings nearby and just make messy marks, drawing and painting in my sketchbooks.

My québécois nature ebbs and flows inversely with the tides of separatism. I understand that attitude.
