More than three syllables is hard... but even so, somewhat surprised to see talking Barbie doll represent US press info.

So lovely to know this beautiful display is going on in reality somewhere 4,000 feet below the surface of Baja California, at the same time as all our dark nonsense is, up here. #Scicomm Thanks to @c0nc0rdance.bsky.social for the share from Ocean Exploration Trust.

Sentience in a machine might look like spontaneous combustion, self immolation. Probably a not bad idea right now for some of the ugly, aberrant artificial ignorance paraded around as beauty.

So strange that animal cruelty was outlawed in the 1800's with NYC leading reform, and yet this obviously cruel policy of killing animals in shelter, persists. "Humane euthenasia" is what they list, while they are actually killing animals who are not sick and not old. No "mercy" in it whatsoever.

We most likely do not have human subjects protection in real life, only sometimes, on paper.

Freedom of speech? Where did it go? A ghost.

A good share for #SpookySunday seeing all the hungry ghosts and thirsty spirits on display.

Yes, and they have been doing it all the time, for a very long time, which many of in our field knew and did not block - or did not know how to without getting fired. It is, was, has been #eugenics in medical research for many, many years.

Kind of humorous that publishers and book marketing people thought we could not tell? Readers are savvy. AI is not.

Jennifer J Brown @jjunebrown.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Thanks for your activism! In research (I'd worked in hep B molecular genetics in the US) many knew trials went abroad because of lower financial costs - but a hidden sinister underlying eugenics agenda was known too, and not decried. Reality is spookier than ghost stories.

Very spooky. In childhood I had read some Japanese horror short stories - unwise of a dear Uncle who lived in Japan to have given them probably as my mom never supervised my reading - but those never left me.

Jennifer J Brown @jjunebrown.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

I believe ancients understood themselves as part of nature - which is a fundamental truth of biology even in our modern day. We simply deny or ignore that fact, a dangerous and hostile delusion.

Jennifer J Brown @jjunebrown.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Thank you for the laugh in these dim morning hours. I whole heartedly agree.

Disgrace. Paul Offit, infectious disease doc at Children’s Hospital, Philadelphia, says of the Danish and US plan to withhold hep B vaccine from babies in Guinea-Bissau, “What a terrible thing to do. What a horribly unethical and cruel thing to do” - from @melodyschreiber.com - linked below.

Jennifer J Brown @jjunebrown.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Thanks to everyone here for the flow of ideas in #SpiritChat as an oasis in a sea of... so much information. A continuous flow is ideal, something to hope for, and takes bravery.

031

Jennifer J Brown @jjunebrown.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Letting go, like when swimming in the ocean and lifting your feet off the ocean floor, is scary but that's where the grace is. Swimming, I am always "in the present moment" because not to be would be, well, to drown. "In the flow" as a state of mind may be scary, but full of grace. #SpiritChat

111

Jennifer J Brown @jjunebrown.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Every time I am writing a new book, it seems impossible. To create something from nothing. A few weeks, months or years later, it is done - real - only because I was immersed in "the flow" on those special days when everything was calm. I learned to trust, and keep going. #SpiritChat

032

Jennifer J Brown @jjunebrown.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

So difficult to get up after a fall, but life saving - and the first skill I was taught in Kung Fu many years ago. #SpiritChat I fell flat walking my daughter's rambunctious husky 2 days ago, in traffic in NYC and getting up at that moment was life saving.

Jennifer J Brown @jjunebrown.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

A sense of play and freedom comes with works done while in the state of flow (drawing, writing, research). So yes, I am working, but it is a pleasure rather than an effort or responsibility. And the drive is still there, but not criticizing, and so more exhilarating. #SpiritChat

000

Jennifer J Brown @jjunebrown.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

So true, bare feet may be under appreciated. When I was a kid living in the country, barefoot was my norm. I do miss that at times living in NYC. #SpiritChat

Jennifer J Brown @jjunebrown.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

A state of flow allows excellence in action - our best works - but striving for excellence does not create the flow, while it may be a result of being in the flow. Perfectionism, critical appraisal, desire to win or be praised - those aspects of "excellence" can harm, even. #SpiritChat

020

Jennifer J Brown @jjunebrown.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

A calming breath, a belief in one's connection to the life force of that breath as in a continuum with the air around us extending within the universe, a respect and love for what follows as thoughts, creativity and action - as being real. #SpiritChat #InTheFlow

021

Jennifer J Brown @jjunebrown.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

So true for me as well, the heaviness seems to be the body's indicator we need to move, and movement is central to being in the flow, and may ease intrusive or racing thoughts. #SpiritChat

020

Jennifer J Brown @jjunebrown.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Dissatisfaction, criticism, blame - in thoughts or speech - these are indicators of not being in the flow. A deep breath helps with acceptance and gratitude and may unblock us, leading to actions moving toward harmony, when troubles surface or surround us. #SpiritChat

011

Jennifer J Brown @jjunebrown.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Yes, and grace is moving with this, rather than in opposition to or resistance to that motion. #SpiritChat

131

Jennifer J Brown @jjunebrown.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Being in a state of flow is a special kind of grace, always here for us when we can be in our current reality without delusions we create by nervous reactions. Flow comes from within, sustained by focus, and merges with action. My favorite place to be. #SpiritChat

Good hint for how to handle my mood after checking in on the news each day.

That would likely boost our current NY governor's popularity and power, in contrast.

Jennifer J Brown @jjunebrown.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

If none of the three of these fellows can read, to see the error in spelling of our country on a document they sign, that explains a lot. SI or No? AI or actual ignorance? Strange things are happening.

Jennifer J Brown @jjunebrown.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Thanks @womensartbluesky.bsky.social - the painting always made me wonder why more men are not afraid of women, instead of the traditional media lens view that women fear men. A company CEO (older male) once (intoxicated) confided to me how all men fear women - yet don't show or share it much.

The world’s primary forests are more than just trees. They are elders of the Earth, older than any human story, sheltering species we have yet to see, breathing life into the world around us. On #InternationalDayofForests, choose to protect the irreplaceable. | #IntlForestDay @canopyplanet

So true in my experience, my health is so much better when I skip viewing the news for a while - the longer the gap, the better I feel and function. We need to know some things, but not all these things designed to shock and immobilize us.
