I'm excited to have recently published a new Tabletop RPG - Night at the Barricades! It's a game about climate activists in tense situations that focuses on how different personalities in a group like this interact under pressure. It's designed for single session play with a simple PbtA game system!

Remembrance Day
Remembrance Day invites us not only to recall a horrific war, but to wake up. Gurdjieff said wars are driven by unconscious forces; we become pawns, sleepwalking. As a Type 9, prone to forgetting myse...

Poem for the day

Silent streets convey
An instinctual pattern
Social shadows meet

In hopes of income
Banking reactivated
Feed reports horrors

You cannot have a functioning classroom under these conditions. As I've said before, classroom surveillance has been a much bigger and more damaging change to campus than wokeness.
Cornell is cancelling a distinguished professor's classes on Gaza and suspending him because of the complaints of a student who previously served in Israel's military surveillance agency and was literally recording the comments of other students in class and deliberately derailing discussion.

Nothingness:

How nice to look behind everything and find nothing at all, but still be in the everything that comes out of it. What a treat, what a pleasure, what a joy like a nice warm hug!

An image of infinity

There is a pathway leading to a house
Inside the house is a woman
The woman is seated on a chair
Beside the woman is a table
On the table is dish
On the dish is a bird
The bird says "Thank you for thinking"
You enter the bird's mouth
There is a pathway leading to a house

Poem for the day:

Love moves like a snake
She happens to have warm blood

Poem for today:

Every day I seek
Caught between courage and fear
Then distraction strikes

The play of light and shadows
With hope for something clearer
