Cloud Cuckoo Land, read this recently. References that story by Aristophanes. Nothing I would know about otherwise !

Yes. Very strange! 😅

The vibes I got from it were, this is what happens when good people do nothing. Being a decent person can't be found in a book or even a set of laws with consequences.

It is a strange thing to send someone who buys a plant but I like it. I've been holding onto it and today seemed like a good day to share it.

My thought is, it's Christians who made stealing live children's thymus organs to make into profitable drugs acceptable. They made sure they aren't supporting taking from aborted babies. The drugs being made from live babies organs are patented to only use live babies even though fetal thymuses would yield more stem cells and mesenchymal cells. For some reason it's ok to steal from live babies. No. It's not and when good people do nothing, this is what happens.

No matter who won the presidency it's still a corrupt system filled with laws made for those in power to take advantage of those without power.

Ps. Sorry, my bitterness is showing. There are a lot of beautiful Christian's out there. I didn't mean to infer otherwise. 🙏

apparently it was part of a lecture series to “little women” in girls schools…

looked up the author and in his photo he sports a Masonic pose (hand in jacket) so it gives me pause …

Ps I just looked and his hand looks weird. My pose is different. Sometimes holding the jacket with one hand or slipping just 4 fingers in their jacket loosely, not the entire hand.

Great finds! Thank you.

I love posing clients with their hand in their jacket or vest, especially little boys dressed to the 9s are so adorable. I always thought it was distinguished looking. It's a common photographer’s pose. Disclaimer - I'm not affiliated with anything or anyone Masonic 🥺

Pail Wallis describes the church's attempt to eradicate peaceful Cathars. Funny timing here, I just listened to this

yes, heidi. a lot indeed.

and a tiny synchronicity with my revision of a 2022 essay that discusses why yoga is often a form of addictive drug into spiritual by-pass. the connection is that the people following yoga can mistake the rules of yoga for yoga itself, much like the argument made that it is better to act without reference to formal rules, to move and speak from what is true. nice share.
