This whole thread about seeing and desire is so alive and I want that for all of us. Seeing deeply through the suffering of separation until we all arrive at what actually is, gobsmacked in the presence of mystery

a bigger wanting in your whole being that can coexist with another person's sovereignty instead of overriding it with your lust in a narrow, self-directed focus that makes someone a thing to possess. a wanting so big that you cannot contain it; so big it cannot be held by you for even a moment.

At work, treating patients with acupuncture… there’s some chill music playing, kinda flutey new age-type jams with swelling strings and reverb (as expected) and I’m half bopping along to a familiar melody when I suddenly realize that a Muzak version of Free Bird exists in this world.

One of the weirdest things that has happened: when I was moving the laundry from the washer to the dryer I found a dead bird that had been washed with the clothes. How does a dead bird get in the laundry?

Attacks on Councilor Mitch Green over his 2020 tweets ignore the real harm done to protesters, legal observers, journalists, and the public by the Portland Police Bureau

Grateful you shared this, for the same reason that the og is so formative but so tainted for me. I’m amazed that he was able to really translate the loping swing of the song. It just feels right and true before he then makes it his own thing.

I’ve been saying for years my biggest kink is emotional connection. If I’m topping, then yes, you are going to feel all the feelings. If I’m bottoming, you do your thing and I will give back all the feelings. It’s both wholesome, and in this culture, total pervert edge play.

Thanks to Kate for flagging this. It's especially important because the Council no longer has any approval authority over contracting. Until Council claws that back, and without clear directives, PPB can simply enter contracts for this stuff without any check or balance.

The corporations targeted by this tax that will save public services and barely touch corporate profits are for CEOs that make a TON more than their employees. Ex: Starbucks CEO makes 36M, his median employees make 17k. If we want to bring jobs, we also have to bring jobs that pay a living wage.

I bought a (used) Bolt this year just in time for the attack on Iran and I remain stoked on it. It’s comfy and a joy to drive, and I saved enough on gas to pay it off quick.

You can't keep talking and hoping for jury nullification if you are the type always getting out of jury duty. We need people on our side to take jury duty as a duty to fight ICE abuse, rape and murder. Pressure everyone you know to stick with jury duty. You are our only hope in this corrupt system.

I served on a jury once and helped get a guy free when he was accused of growing weed (when that was still illegal). They made a really lazy case anyway but I’m pretty sure I wasn’t the only person thinking nullification in that room.

You’ve got a whole hour to integrate whatever comes up in therapy and/or grab an iced coffee. Should be fine.

Researching LOUD AND CLEAR, I encountered Ken “Goldfinger” Connell—and filed him away. What I found on returning is a story about the death of an old America and how descendants of an infamous drug smuggler are reconciling with the past. Read now on @playboy.com: www.playboy.com/read/celebri...

Did you know that she called every hospital in the state to remind them that they are required by state law to provide transgender healthcare? I have no idea why she isn't running that shit loud and proud, but she did do it. That is what is going to get me to knock doors for her.

These explore the foundations of so much of what I love. I do disagree w Rickey about disco, but also note he includes lots of disco classics as funk, so it might be a matter of semantics. Loved his radio show back in the day too.
