Ongoing resonance from @ralphdelarosa.bsky.social who passed away in May. I fasted through lunch for a month and donated my lunch money to @wck.org
To quote Ralph "Compassion outshines trauma like nothing else can. It is the path, the practice, and the goal."

There's horrible externalities of energy use and stealing of human labor. I've gotten some beautiful answers from AI. This from Gemini.
Heartfelt sentiments about connection to various lineages and what's appropriation. But too trivial to ask a human teacher.

I was born on this land in 1970 at New York Hospital. My parents were not citizens. I'm increasingly aware of the hollow construction of citizenship, and the obsessive clinging to identity built into it.
I can only listen to the land, its people, try to resonate with compassion.

Sharing Ralph's brilliance, how they transcended form and method and yet were utterly eye-level, goofy, ordinary.
I'd be devastated, except they fulfilled their role: all I needed given to me, all questions answered. I have only to show up and keep going.

No one will read Erin's article, many will read the mainstream media and conclude that the moderate position is Trump's position.
It's time for medical authorities to speak up but they won't for fear of retribution.

The paper, which has had no problem critiquing other pseudoscience efforts by RFK Jr's HHS, appears to fully embrace anti-transgender pseudoscience and conversion therapy.

Funny how non-cooperative technology is to leading online meditation!
First there's 2 layers of noise cancelling (mic & zoom) that utterly quash a meditation bell.
Then my Bluetooth headphones shut down 15 mins into a 20 min silent sit.
If a bell rings and no one hears it is there even a bell?

less advertised benefits of meditation: the stoner thoughts you get without being stoned.
If trees wildly burst into spring like dendrites in climax, what vast, tidal awareness holds this? Hemispheres breathe their yearlong breaths and somehow we see this, but miss our neighbors' hearts.

Seeing Ani for the 1st time tonight. Instead of learning lyrics, I googled if she's tr*nsph*bic. Figure she's not, Google it anyway. Found this fascinating zine.

Startd a class today that's reading _Cruising Utopia_. So much of what ppl were talking about felt familiar: the 'creative minus of saying "not this, not that" to point at something ineffable, the idea of emptiness also being interbeing
