Here’s the thing that set me free: the deep silence of my soul and the radical willingness to do what it was prompting. modernmythology.substack.com/p/silence-is...

I wonder how many generations have been robbed of brilliance like my mother’s. Over the centuries, I wonder how many women weren’t allowed to be themselves, and what that has cost all of us.

It should be illegal for law enforcement to wear masks and not show ID.
This makes it too easy to impersonate law enforcement and murder people in their homes.

Lawmakers in Congress should not be buying, trading, and owning individual stocks. Period.
It’s long past time to BAN Congressional stock trading.

Now that Marines have arrived with live ammunition
To our beloved community, whisper the incantation
Three times: Open my heart. Breathe in peace through
Your chest, exhale love. Stillness: Soft belly.

Don’t move against in anger, or pull away in fear.
Don’t flinch from Presence as Witness.
It helps to sing
Baby Shark or the first notes of the Star Wars theme.
Imagine how every tense thing turns
On its head with a bit of humor. Now
That’s a revolution.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

This is Los Angeles. It’s 503 sq miles. Home to 4 million people. The small red dot is roughly where peaceful protests (and nocturnal lawlessness) have been happening. The rest of the city is calm. LA doesn’t need to be “saved” or “liberated” by soldiers. Our community is in danger. The city is not.
