Soul. The immaterial part of a person that can only be made immortal by being held in the memory others. Only visible through words and actions. These words and actions, whether good or bad, determine the character by which the soul is remembered, or made immortal.

The brain tricks us constantly. It mistakes scrolling and "seeking information" for DOING THINGS. That is not doing. You have to act.

In a state of mental exhaustion tempered by physical creativity and chocolate, the idea of AI/computers as Living came up. Pain responses are root, and disruptive. Are Glitches a Pain? Then the processes to note and work around them could be very close! #teathoughts

My mind imagines the “you should see the other guy”, and a host of the extraordinary and mundane events surrounding this.

Chicago folks, the Art Institute's exhibition of Elizabeth Catlett's work is open and I highly encourage you to visit. I saw the exhibition 3 times when it was at the Brooklyn Museum. You will thank me later. www.artic.edu/articles/121...

For Elizabeth Catlett, art was activism.

Something that I learned while teaching adults is that they absolutely CANNOT abide by losing face. If you are teaching someone & they feel like they are losing face, you will lose them immediately. This is what happens re: politics too. Rather than lose face, folks will triple down on wrongness.

Thank you for this. It’s a challenge all over, the ability to admit fallibility. In any arena of interaction. Regardless of the “right/fact” you have, you have to leave the opponent an out that lets them save face.

My mom hand knit these bags for my kickstarter and if this doesn’t get you to smash that notify me on launch button I don’t know what will

Hand knit bags my mom made. They are red, black, and white with a black drawstring.

A graphic urges school supply donations for kids with incarcerated parents in Cook County Jail. It highlights that over 5.7 million U.S. kids have experienced parental incarceration. School supplies are shown at the bottom.

Because “doing” is how you get good at things. From a recent shoot by “The Extras of Albuquerque”. A combat short, because who really needs a reason to fight in a parking lot! Fight fun!
