*song cue* “…why can’t we be [a mountain of] friends.”

A thought over tea. Be cautious what voices you let into your head. From the news to your social media. Their words may become your thoughts. Which could lead to your actions. Don’t let another dictate your actions without making sure your voice is good with that. #teathoughts

Hey all. It’s been a hot minute and a long winter season. The time for introspection as the northern hemisphere is supposed to be resting. Since that is definitely not the case, I have been devouring the words of the wise. This weeks:

So much of identity now-a-days is wrapped up in “what I know.” How many arguments have started with “I know…” only for the person to spout off something blown out of proportion or wrong. Emotion overrides reason every time. Fear is the biggest handle. #teathoughts

So much of identity, observable currently, is wrapped up in “what I know.” How many arguments have started with “I know…” only for the person to spout off something blown out of proportion or just wrong. Emotion overrides reason every time. Fear is the biggest handle. #teathoughts

R-side: “You should totally do it.”

Austin Texas. The little blue and green gem doing what it can to hold onto its funky roots. So I direct your attention to Juan in a Million. Horchatas as tall as your forearm is long. And taco plates the size of your head.

Soul. The immaterial part of a person that can only be made immortal by being held in the memory others. Only visible through words and actions. These words and actions, whether good or bad, determine the character by which the soul is remembered, or made immortal.

Awesome! *quickly hides his own thumbs up*

Just an appreciation message for you all and the jiggle jumpers.

In a state of mental exhaustion tempered by physical creativity and chocolate, the idea of AI/computers as Living came up. Pain responses are root, and disruptive. Are Glitches a Pain? Then the processes to note and work around them could be very close! #teathoughts

Like the benediction of the paw upon the mouth. We do not question. We accept. #howcatsshowlove

My mind imagines the “you should see the other guy”, and a host of the extraordinary and mundane events surrounding this.

Thank you for this. It’s a challenge all over, the ability to admit fallibility. In any arena of interaction. Regardless of the “right/fact” you have, you have to leave the opponent an out that lets them save face.
