@gemswinc I didn't say it would be better. It will be worse. Oligarchs are now fully running the government. 1930s Germany all over again.

“doing tonglen for what we are feeling and for millions of other people just like us who at this very moment are feeling exactly the same misery.

Maybe we are able to name our pain

nwe breathe in for all the people who are caught with that same emotion

we send out relief for ourselves and all those countless others.

contact what we are feeling and breathe in, take it in,

for all of us—and

send out relief to all of us.”

Excerpt From
When Things Fall Apart
Pema Chodron

I wonder how life would have evolved without tides...

“Cammarata called Giuliani ‘a victim of political persecution’ in an email and said this month’s election demonstrated Americans were tired of ‘witch-hunts, indictments, impeachments, prosecutions, convictions, civil cases and judgments.’”

You mean law?

Without law, lawyers would have nothing to do.

This is what the rich do: try to destroy us and then attempt to weasel out of their conviction.

The New York Conspiracy, also known as the Slave Insurrection of 1741, was a true historical event that took place in lower Manhattan in 1741.

But the only real record of the uprising is from the trial that happened afterwards.

Nearly two hundred people were arrested—mostly free Blacks and Irish immigrants, along with some enslaved Black and Caribbean people—for allegedly conspiring to burn down the city and overthrow their oppressive white overlords.

'Misbehaving' - by Henriette Ronner-Kniep
Dutch-Belgian artist chiefly in the Romantic style who is best known for her animal paintings; especially cats.

In her later years, she had a house with a large garden, where she kept hunting dogs, cats and a parrot that she used as models. After observing them in her studio, she would make paper sculptures in the desired poses and set them together with props, such as furniture and fabrics.

She ain’t wrong. I’m glad I got my divorce 12 years ago and never married again.
