2023-04-03 I Know

Why Did It
BY WILLIAM J. HARRIS

Why did it
take all
day
to get nothing
accomplished

Why, I could
have started
at noon
& saved a lot
of time

Pro tip: If you are being pursued by taxidermists do not attempt to escape by playing dead.

You're welcome.

In Texas we do not have pubic utilities for electric power,-- we have a private market. This allows the governor to claim that the grid is working even when local distribution lines or power stations are down. (neo-lib capitalism for the win - *NOT*)😬

> I have learned, however, that most Insects hibernate. Deep inside their anthill, the Ants cling to each other in a large ball and sleep like that until spring. I only wish people had the same sort of confidence in each other.

Before the new year begins I'm going to share the only useful piece of advice I have.

The secret to success is a low bar. The secret to happiness is an open one.

from the bird-site:
Joyce Carol Oates - @JoyceCarolOates: if "autistic" means that like Greta Thunberg we care about the future of the environment & are unmoved by tactics to co-opt us by our manipulative elders, then "autism" is clearly an evolutionary advantage; it allows us to repel those coercive "social cues" tricking others.

"We do not escape into philosophy, psychology, and art —- we go there to restore our shattered selves into whole ones."
Anaïs Nin, In Favor of the Sensitive Man and Other Essays, p. 17 (via meditationsinwonderland.com)
