Having the newest thing used to be a personality trait. What I've learned from watching the surveillance state proliferate, is that the only thing I want to be a bleeding edge early adopter of is treating people with dignity and compassion.

Tonight’s ♊️🌕 is all about choice, esp what you choose to think & focus on. But also about progress, perhaps after a period of deep reflection.

Andrea Gibson says, “even if the truth is not hopeful, the telling of it is.” Hope does not mean burying our heads in the sand or focusing only on the positive. Hope exists in the face of despair, fear, and doubt. Hope crafts a path forward out of ashes and scraps.

Don’t consider myself a humanist per se, but to me there’s nothing wrong with having allies who care about more than power, profit and machines and who also cherish the living world right now. And who value things like ethics.

btw, if anybody On Here ever wants to talk Arthurian legend, as related to Tolkien or otherwise, that is an area of my expertise. My dissertation was on female sovereignty and the supernatural in insular Arthurian literature. I kinda miss thinking and talking about it sometimes.

WHAT IS FOCUS?
In photography the detail you focus the camera on is clearly defined, and in the extreme everything else is blurred.
For our future, we need to focus on restoring our life system: nature. This kind of focus serves as reference point for everything else.
