Let's read the cards

Sometimes that nurturing kind of love and fecundity is an impulse control I push forward, driving us

We want to go fast, but we need to be steady, practical and rooted in the temporal.

Family, health, wealth but in a practical way

Tis the season

I usually spin #Flowersticks which play slower than a traditional #Devilstick, which is really just a stick tapered towards the middle.

One of my friends from the Bryant Park #Juggling group said that the former is more fun; he's probably right, but I like this too

I'm not done with it yet, but if the end is as good as the beginning and middle I'll have quite the book recommendation for all of you.

Anyone interesting in time travel? Alternate history? Arthurian legend? Romance?

All of the above in one glorious treasure of a book?

We're waking up from the hardest stuff, ready to turn the corner and feel hopeful and energetic again.

It's not a time for complicated schemes, not a time for much ambition, but more for open engagement in simple pleasures and comforts

Let's refresh.

I'm trying to imagine a world in which a boat that two people can flip over by hand poses a credible threat, and my disbelief won't suspend that far
TRYING TO FLIP” THE BOAT MEANS THE BOAT WAS CAPSIZED AND THEY WERE SHIPWRECKED IN THE WATER.
Q: What did you see in the second strike?

Cotton: "I saw two survivors trying to flip a boat -- loaded with drugs, bound for the United States -- back over, so they could stay in the fight."

Mia summed up better what I said from the start: the student should not have gotten a zero. She should have been kicked out of the class and disciplined for a deliberate attempt to cause harm.

This was NOT a good-faith exercise of her free speech; it was deliberate trolling.
Regarding The Essay:

If you have not yet figured out in Dec. 2025 that an appeal to a strict and fair adherence to the First Amendment is a rigged game, I would like to inspect your wallet for just a moment.

The Essay was a trap designed to do just this - fail and then gin up far-right grifting 1/

We're ready to channel our strength and inspirations towards something concrete; it's great to have ideas, but there are real things on which to work, real goals.

We're ready

It's going to be a lot of work, we'll have to gird our loins and push through

I'm old enough to remember Trump mocking his opponent as "sleepy"
President Trump appeared to struggle to stay awake at a White House event for a second time in a month on Tuesday, as his Cabinet officials provided updates on their work.

During a roughly 75-minute stretch, Trump's eyes were closed or he visibly struggled to keep them open. https://wapo.st/4ovQTFo

This is not a time for doing, but not a time for passively being either - it's a time to tap into the depths within us and the universe. To open our hearts, to think about our relationships, our emotions, to connect.

Let's trust ourselves, trust the world

We're being governed by internet trolls. The administration is literally 4Chan.

May the gods help us.
"Sources in the Trump administration have previously told Zeteo that officials will at times intentionally use popular music from vocally anti-Trump performing artists, in order to trigger a negative response from a famous liberal and provide further amplification of their pervasive culture war,"
NEWS: The Trump-Vance White House is attacking Sabrina Carpenter.

In a new statement, the White House — led by Trump, a liable sexual abuser mired in scandal for ties to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein — suggests Carpenter is "stupid" and is defending pedophiles and rapists.

Secondary question: Why are right-wingers so obsessed with being allowed to troll where they aren't wanted?
The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

I don't think this student deserved a zero.

It was low-effort deliberate trolling, and an unsubtle attack on the teacher; she deserved to be kicked out of the class and face disciplinary action.

It was not a sincere attempt to answer the assignment, but an attempt to disrupt.

People are seeing us as successful after a long struggle, but it may have been more for show; battles always have aftermaths and we can expect things to change, and change dramatically.

We're still on a high note, and should still be able to stand strong.

I'd question this from any human.

I have had one MRI in my life - I knew exactly why (knee pain) and exactly what they were looking for. I also knew what the results were, and suggested treatment

I can't imagine scheduling one "just because" and not even being able to say what they were looking at
Can you imagine if any other politician said “I had an MRI and I have no idea why?”

Explain capitalism in one headline
The U.S. healthcare system: where continuously treating an illness is a lucrative revenue stream and actually curing a patient is considered a threat to the financial bottom line.

As much as "a congressional committee" is the absolute least response to anything, it's at least a response.

Republicans will need to choose between standing up to the administration and endorsing cold-blooded murder.
Fox News' Joey Jones justifies the US military killing survivors after an initial boat strike: "An enemy combatant does not have to have a gun to be a danger or a threat... if you leave anybody alive, they can signal and let others know what’s happening and they can also retaliate through radio."

Let's read the cards

When things get shaken up it's only natural to feel conflicted, lost, a bit confused. There are choices before us, but we can't see the right one

That's because it's not a time for seeing - we can be in control if we go with our gut

Trust your instincts.

We may feel embattled, but are standing strong and moving forward, facing our challenges head-on.

Too head on? Are we fighting more than we need to?

Maybe, but sometimes rolling up our sleeves and pushing ahead means standing tall and pushing back

Let's read the cards

We have ideas, but it's because we've been thinking too much. We're still driven by our minds, but maybe aren't listening to our hearts.

We think we can succeed this way, but it may be hollow, and at too much cost

Let's wake up

In the midst of holiday season things keep happening, feel like they can be falling out of control.

So many are lost and in need at this time of joy.. It's time for us to take control, do what we can, fix what we can.

It won't be easy, but we've got this
