It's strange how we go from "sit still and shut up" as kids to "why aren't you doing something all the time" as adults. This #essay resonated with me: How to Exist www.raptitude.com/2026/07/how-to-ex…

Until it is, I hold this valley for creatures of the forests and waters...Do you not believe that animals know grief and fear and pain!

Tony Millionaire's Oddball's Odyssey is beatiful and weird. So many fun puns. Seems to be referencing a lot of comic history and other myth (beyond the Odyssey) that I'll need to figure out. #amreading #comics

Comic book Odball's Odyssey showing a canyon, stone labyrinth and a hippgriff flying in front of planets in the sky.

A small monkey creature runs toward a drunk skunk.

The drunk monkey enteres a grotto covered in jewels with a swan at the far end.

As with the womb, the drive is not to annihilate oneself back to zero, but rather to expand one's circle of compassion out toward the infinite. In the words of the philosopher Blaise Pascal, the cosmos is a sphere whose boundary is nowhere and whose center is everywhere. --Saucer Wisdom, Rudy Rucker
