The external directly impacts the internal. We can't eliminate suffering just by tending to one quadrant of reality (in this case pretty much just top left)

Try to be less confidently ignorant. Literally a google search away. This implies that they practiced other things before Christianity.
A screenshot of text explaining that Christianity in Ethiopia dates back to the ancient Kingdom of Aksum, where King Ezana adopted the faith in the 4th century AD. This made Ethiopia one of the first regions in the world to officially adopt Christianity. Some words are highlighted in blue, indicating links, including “Kingdom of Aksum,” “King Ezana,” “Ethiopia,” and “Christianity.”

New Earrings 😌
A stylish Black AMAB with medium-dark skin, short locs, and black rectangular glasses smiles softly while seated in a car. They wear a pointed black earring, a cowrie shell necklace, and a brown jacket over a grey henley shirt. Their expression is serene and confident as they tilt their head slightly and point toward their ear.

photo of the book The Bible Says So: What We Get Right (and Wrong) About Scripture’s Most Controversial Issues by Dan McClellan. The cover is a vibrant blue with white and yellow text. “The Bible” is emphasized in large yellow letters, surrounded by yellow radiating lines resembling sunbursts. At the bottom, it notes McClellan as “TikTok’s Data Over Dogma Award-Winning Bible Historian.” The book is resting on a light-colored fabric surface.

If I could get paid a living wage to scrub toilets or something, I'd probably be doing exactly that. I see myself as above no job and I like physical repetitive tasks. I don't need a "status" job. Idgaf.
A 3x4 grid of images showing people doing various forms of manual or service labor—such as farmworkers harvesting crops, a janitor mopping, a retail worker using a register, a construction worker, a barista, a line cook, a factory worker, a bartender, a restaurant server, a call center worker, furniture movers, and a delivery person. Overlaid text reads: “‘Unskilled Jobs’ Are A Classist Myth Used To Justify Poverty Wages.” The message critiques the idea of “unskilled labor” as a tool of economic and social oppression.

This is getting ridiculous lmfao
A TechCrunch article titled “Startups launch products to catch people using AI cheating app Cluely,” written by Charles Rollet and published on April 29, 2025. The article discusses the AI cheating startup Cluely, which claims its in-browser window is “undetectable” and can be used to cheat on job interviews and exams. In response, other startups are developing tools to detect Cluely users, including hardware like smart glasses or brain chips designed to bypass anti-cheating software.

A screenshot of a text passage discussing the concept of the "enlightenment trap." It explains how the first step toward intellectual humility is recognizing how much you don’t know. However, over time, this humility can become performative. People begin to feel superior for being "humble," judging others who don't express the same self-doubt. The phrase "I could be wrong" becomes a veiled assertion of correctness, revealing pride rather than true openness. The passage concludes that this inflated intellectual humility can increase prejudice, echoing themes from Jane Austen's work about pride and prejudice obstructing personal growth.

In the same way toxic codependent human relationships aren't good. It's a form of the drama triangle. Animal as victim. Vegan as rescuer. Meat eater as Persecutor.
This image is a diagram of the Karpman Drama Triangle, which illustrates a dysfunctional relational dynamic made up of three roles: the Persecutor, the Rescuer, and the Victim. Each point of the triangle represents a behavioral pattern rooted in disconnection and unmet needs. The Persecutor, shown in red with an angry figure, operates from judgment and control. This role doesn’t value others’ perspectives or integrity and often manifests as anger (both open and passive), aggression, bullying, demanding behavior, and spite. On the opposite side is the Rescuer, represented in blue by two figures. The Rescuer appears self-sacrificing and over-helpful, often interfering or “helping” without consent. This role ignores others’ capacity to help themselves and may be driven by a need to feel useful or morally superior, leading to meddling and emotional enmeshment. At the bottom of the triangle is the Victim, shown in green, who doesn’t value themselves or take responsibility. This role is characterized by helplessness, dependency, and blame. Behaviors include manipulativeness, a “poor me” attitude, constant complaining, neediness, and deferring power to others. Arrows show how people can rotate between roles—often unconsciously—in cycles of drama, miscommunication, and disempowerment. The model serves as a tool for recognizing unhealthy patterns and moving toward relational accountability and sovereignty.

A must read on the path. Normality Does Not Equal Mental Health by Steven James Bartlett. The most shocking thing in here that I admired was his slight suggestion that having kids out of obligation or tradition doesn't necessarily mean you're mentally well.

Also according to their FAQ they are platform agnostic. Anyway, thanks for the polite talk. Off to work now.
FAQ: DOES IT REQUIRE OPENAI OR CAN IT BE SELF-HOSTED?

IT DOES NOT REQUIRE OPENAI. WHILE A PROTOTYPE VERSION IS BUILT INSIDE CHATGPT FOR DEMONSTRATION PURPOSES, JUSTICE AI CAN BE FULLY SELF-HOSTED USING OPEN-SOURCE MODELS, CANADIAN LLMS, OR CLIENT-OWNED INFRASTRUCTURE.
IT CAN OPERATE WITHOUT ANY CONNECTION TO U.S.-BASED CLOUDS.

A hyper-realistic professional headshot of a Black agender person with medium brown skin and short freeform locs. They wear black rectangular glasses and a black collarless button-up Henley shirt. Their expression is calm and introspective, with soft lighting highlighting the natural texture of their skin and hair. The background is a neutral beige fabric, creating a warm, minimal studio aesthetic.A screenshot of a conversation in the ChatGPT app titled “Justice AI” on a smartphone. The user asks, “Is this using stolen art,” and the AI responds that the image generated is not using stolen art. The explanation includes two key points: (1) DALL·E is trained on publicly available and licensed data, and (2) it does not use artist styles without permission. The screen has a dark mode interface with white text and a green battery indicator at the top showing 35% charge.A screenshot from the ChatGPT app titled “Justice AI” on a smartphone. The visible message continues an explanation about ethical image generation. It explains that DALL·E does not use artist styles without permission and avoids copying identifiable styles unless they are public domain. It then states that Justice AI follows decolonized, ethical representation guided by Christian Ortiz’s Decolonial Intelligence Algorithmic Framework (DIA), ensuring inclusive and anti-exploitative principles. The interface is in dark mode, with white text and a visible battery icon showing 35% at the top right.

Just coined this term: Cosmolonaut.
Cosmolonaut (n.):
A person who explores, internalizes, and creates diverse cosmologies through mystic imagination, direct experience, self-inquiry, altered states, and personal research. They practice epistemic plurality to reimagine reality, drawing on intuition, emotion, and deep inner exploration to build liberatory frameworks that align with lived truth.

Pointing at whiteboard meme where the top section of the meme has a black man pointing towards a whiteboard that says, "You Act White", and the bottom section has the whiteboard that says, "When Black people display their intelligence, they are NOT imitating Whiteness because intelligence is not an inherently White trait. Black excellence is real and has nothing to do with White proximity."

Too much of what we do nowadays is digital. It makes me sick. Queasy. Unwell. If I was around in the 1960s I would have loved the typewriter as the primary weapon of writers but paper and pencil is classic as well. #writersky #writingsky
