Creativity, play, relationality, culture and beauty making, teacher of “Committed To Heart, Committed To Memory” poetry course. Boo to conspiracy thinking and collapsed epistemologies. Stillmansays.substack.com
Barry Lord in his great book “The Art of Energy” makes a compelling case that each civilization/society has a primary energy source & that source fundamentally shapes the culture’s ethical/moral/relational understanding. He tracks wind &yolked animals, human slaves, coal, gas. Worth contending with!

Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale
A tale of a fateful king
Whose wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command is ‘bout what I’m here to sing
Now Ozy was a kinda big works guy
The mighty looked round and despaired
If not for shattered visage we couldn’t stop and stare

Here on Ozys Isle!

Also in jiu jitsu, activating the third wrist spot (this is not a joke, truly) is called “oil checking”. So if I need to oil check Joe Rogan for bro-science I’m here for it

I’ll get Flint Dibble to get me on. Joe LURVES Flint.

I’m my own sponsor on my own podcast so I’m ready to up level to Rogan level. I also did Brazilian Jiu Jitsu so I feel like me and Joe are destined. Get me on the group chat!!

If your perineum was more tanned the pressure points in your wrist-anus (that’s the wrist you were forgetting) are easy to spot and palpate. I have a discount code for my butthole tanning supplements cc @jonathanjarry.bsky.social

I’m here for the mouth to mouth resuscitation of the drowned ceremony of innocence

I (sadly) have to get brain MRIs regularly. They don’t bother me though they aren’t really soothing but I get what you are saying. For me it’s the galladium contrast that they pump into me. That part…no thank you. Fingers crossed for good information and outcomes for you

Oh you got to meet Makenna and Chris! They are old friends and joys in my life. Pray the jaunt was worthy

Brava for all of this. Rewilding (great thing to do w domesticated spaces, tearing down dams or reintroducing native species) easily slips into the wellness mindset of nature as cure & indigeneity as proximate to nature. As a high functioning disabled person with brain cancer…nature won’t cure this.

I read that too but the “for now” part didn’t close the door.
