A Tibetan Tonka of the medicine Buddha. The Buddhist body is a dark indigo blue there’s a red disc behind the head and shoulders of the medicine Buddha and behind that goal disc. This is what should be done By one who is skilled in goodness, And who knows the path of peace: Let them be able and upright, Straightforward and gentle in speech, Humble and not conceited, Contented and easily satisfied, Unburdened with duties and frugal in their ways. Peaceful and calm and wise and skillful, Not proud or demanding in nature. Let them not do the slightest thing That the wise would later reprove. Wishing: In gladness and in safety, May all beings be at ease. Whatever living beings there may be; Whether they are weak or strong, omitting none, The great or the mighty, medium, short or small, The seen and the unseen, Those living near and far away, Those born and to-be-born — May all beings be at ease! Let none deceive another, Or despise any being in any state. Let none through anger or ill-will Wish harm upon another. Even as a mother protects with her life Her child, her only child, So with a boundless heart Should one cherish all living beings; Radiating kindness over the entire world: Spreading upwards to the skies, And downwards to the depths; Outwards and unbounded, Freed from hatred and ill-will. Whether standing or walking, seated or lying down Free from drowsiness, One should sustain this recollection. This is said to be the sublime abiding. By not holding to fixed views, The pure-hearted one, having clarity of vision, Being freed from all sense desires, Is not born again into this world.

I hope everyone is hanging in there.
A photograph of an orange Post-it note that has a hole in it and a rubber band threaded through and it appears to be tied to some kind of pole. The note says “one day you will tell your story about how you overcame what you went through and it’ll be someone else’s survival guide.“ And at the bottom in white lettering, it has the name: ROUGHMENTALEETH.

A tweet from Mary Tyler snore that says “sometimes New England is super cool. That is all.” and it’s a photograph of women dressed in witch costumes and they are paddling kayaks and paddle boards. The paddles look like brooms! The photo is black and white with sunlight or moonlight on the water and it’s quite misty.🖤

A screenshot from the article that says in part, his former political director saw it differently posting on Facebook: “Graham has an antisemitic tattoo on his chest. He’s not an idiot, he’s a military history buff. Maybe he didn’t know when he got it, but he got it years ago and he should Have covered it up because he knew damn well what it means.”

A meme of a cartoon red devil recoiling in surprise and shock probably a little disgust. The background is a lime green color, and the words in black appear after the side that “first of all, yikes.”
