1/ Webinar 30 April 2026: Transforming Libraries from Quiet Repositories of Books into Active Climate Futures Labs
Explore how libraries can move beyond their traditional role as information repositories to become active spaces for climate learning, experimentation, and community engagement
"This is an important thing to think about."
primed by a hierarchical emotion-suppression system that builds Americans who're so afraid of tribal rejection and have so little ability to emotionally self-regulate, they feel safest outsourcing their thinking to the team that tells simple, entertaining stories with straight-forward scapegoats
But only the poor, weak blood of unworthy specimens too flimsy to stand against pathogens foreigners carry because they're umm the strong ones?
Anyway, we know how to fix weak immunity, right?
Raw milk and toilet seat cocaine 🤙
Or, wait. Do they MAKE you stronger or just prove your strength?
don't need more than an iPod Nano for that
the slurs are eating their own tails at this point
reality-alignment testing for all public servants, please!
I bristle a little when you say things like, "In my culture," because, even though I know you're a reasonably self-aware human, it reads as a deference to patriarchy, a following of commandments. So, how conformist (under an, I agree, better system) vs authentically self-actualized do you feel?
cat-shaped works for me

embrace and befriend Other NOW, you'll definitely get stabbed. Reclaiming Oneness would require feeling everything you did to Other as if you did it to your Self, but consciously this time, by CHOICE. 😬
If the pressure doesn't trigger #Enlightenment, you keep running, getting colder, dumber, viler.
You'll feel both "doing it right!" and "why hurt so much?" at the same time. Ego-Self tries drugs, yachts, world domination. The altruism gap gets wider (Other hates you for GOOD reason now). Other screams into the void, desperate for re-integration, connection, wholeness.
But if you try to...4/5
you're stomping over to get ahead are also Other. So you rejected Other (internally) and now you're stealing from Other (externally) and the self-loathing gets WORSE, fear gets bigger, detach more, harm more.
Because patriarchal society rewards domination and carelessness with money and power...3/5
Someone like Elon had the bigotry virus installed, restricting the size of his Other. You can't kill Other, just shuffle pieces into subconsciousness, where self-rejection makes it/you feel... anxious, disconnected, afraid.
That can motivate ambition to TAKE power from others. But the people...2/5
The mind is dual: Self + Other (where Other is infinite reality). Brains can only attend to a subset of reality at once (awe states can FEEL like connection to EVERYTHING, like Oneness is possible, but also, we gotta survive in a meat-suit).
Emotions are powered by the Self vs Other pendulum...1/5
oh, you have so many fun rabbit holes ahead... maybe start here: How Koch Industries, Fake Scientists, and Rush Limbaugh Invented Climate Denial share.google/eufirsoQAbRl...
The Carbon Bros series on the Non-Toxic podcast is a great resource for connecting dots.
yes, but until the money isn't how they determine the worth of human beings, the system will keep self-perpetuating.. it's a mental health issue we can resolve upstream...
haha with umm.. funding? :)
ok BUT, while those kinds of attitudes are possibly inspired by insecurity etc they ARE, in fact, self-expression..
..they're defensive bids for attention, really, and empathy is the ideal response (keep OUR hackles down).. & they can be deployed in ways that are funny, sharp, and self-aware, too
They also sell a cohesive (albeit easily debunked) narrative and vision for a "you, too, can oppress your neighbors" future.
We need to stop doing point-and-shout and edutain the population on how brains work, both to teach misinfo resistance but also to inspire big dreams and more collaboration
adjusted is a big word.
My dad would have made up a funny lie and left me in the dark, so to speak ;)
Don't worry. The increasing violence of the weather patterns generated by a destabilized climate are going to snap everyone's priorities back into focus REAL fast.
Or the feudalists will swoop in and conquer. Either way.
There's no going back. We either shift responsibly or we GET shifted.
they sure nailed the vibes.
Technofascists for genocide. Oversized whiteness shining through sinister darkness. No nuance, compassion, or thought. Just a desire to oppress and destroy nakedly proclaiming itself friendly with suffering and death.
Like we already didn't know.
Bigotry's a mind-darkening virus that makes morons of us. It's immoral to reject the perspective of entire categories of humans because we're too brand-loyal to appreciate Creation's diversity.
Empathy's the way to infinite understanding.
Protect children from religious indoctrination.
#BetterDems
wait, can you do an at-home date or did they follow you?
yes, protecting those who've never suffered (and would never have to) over those who've suffered and force more suffering on them appeals to the patriarchal-bigotry arm of Christianity. They're like, "Jesus died on the cross so we could feel free to abuse people for fun and profit!"

You punish the least powerful first in upside-down morality America.. they're committed to the bit.
It seems like the point is to ritualize and reframe the experience by being unusually cognizant of pleasing and impressing yourself.
I wonder what the rules are if someone tries to date-crash. What a fun meet-cute that would be 🤔
yeah, I cheated. Not nearly enough people are screaming about this, though.
is he equating priests with morality and then dismissing morality as annoying? is that what's happening? IS there a moral point of view that's not just a fascistic misunderstanding of what human brains do naturally when they're not traumatized/rewarded into sociopathy?
