No bread, no problem. Mammy taught me well. Freshly baked olfactory heaven carrying me back to childhood. Buttermilk and Greek yoghurt loaf. From “just one thin slice” to nearly devouring it all: exquisite. The alchemy of scent and flavour turns denial into communion.

Computers can be hacked—so can human minds!
Computers use firewalls—our minds need psychological defences.
What cognitive firewalls do you use?

Love

Love is not sugared kisses or candied dreams,
it's not brewed in mystical love potions.
It's not rainbow colours or kaleidoscope themes.

Internet an information ecosystem Replete with bbb (believable bulshit babble) The internet isn’t inherently broken—humans are. It is a mirror of human cognition, with its brilliance and flaws. The best defense is skepticism + verification, not cynicism or retreat.

Profundity in the simplicity of life. Daisy Mae getting her paws rubbed with balm. Enjoy the simple moments as they will anchor your sanity in the crazy times we live in.

Daisy Mae one of my family looking stunning on her walk through the town park. She's really friendly but breed specific laws require her to be muzzled.

Our minds are fertile ground—be mindful of the seeds we plant. The roots from the seeds of hate, xenophobia, racism, misogyny, fear, intolerance…once sown, burrow deeply spreading web-like as mycelium; they are notoriously difficult to uproot.

The trouble with Fibbles!←😉 The problem with lies, lies not in believing them, but in not being able to believe anything, anymore.

Are we on the cusp of a Technopoly? Neil Postman warned we’d surrender to tech, and it’s happening. Algorithms shape our thoughts, replacing critical thinking with viral noise.
Join the 1%, resist algorithmic poisoning, and think critically.
Rise up! #Technopoly #OnePercent #Resistance

We all have the potential to be the big bad wolf in our own stories. We also have the potential, the agency, to tame that big bad wolf. By taming the wolf within, we take control of our lives, choosing resilience, growth, self-compassion, and self-mastery over self-destruction.

An Ode to Daisy Mae

Daisy Mae, queen of farts,
We don’t enjoy your stinking tarts!
Your noxious malodorous emission,
Whacks my eyes into submission.
I was savouring my breakfast quest,
Now my senses are all messed!
Let me enjoy my bacon and eggs,
Please, no farts, from you I ‘begs!

How true! The words of Edwin Starr in his 1970 version of the tune, War: "Oh, war, I despise 'Cause it means destruction of innocent lives …"

Complexitiy's Bane
The problem with a simple little word,
You simply cannot polish a turd!
For in a complex situation,
Understanding is an elation.

Simply Profound

Pleasure and pain,
Sunshine and rain,
The color of trees,
The antics of fleas,
Dogs on a walk,
An intimate talk,
Into the crucible,
Make poetry producible.

Profundo in rebus mundanis est!
