Only keep things that are functional, attractive or sentimental. I like the poop plan for things that are on the edge of these.

It took me a bit to understand this. I was so used to expecting negativity that i thought non-negative comments were being sarcastic.

Yes. Get out on some rural roads with a friend if possible.

I don’t know that one, but if you just want a sleep song try Weightless by Marconi Union.

The marijuana companies have been making money like crazy for years and now they’re pissed that someone else is getting a piece of the pie.

You never have to prove anything. You don’t have to have a label. You can just go through your day and smile at anyone you like in the moment.

I’m remodeling a house and I’ve learned that my initial idea is always wrong and it will take me 3 days to accept the right answer.

You should see what happens at the hospital. Every item is single use in plastic packaging.

I spent about a year practicing sleeping. I stay by telling myself that i deserve a good night of sleep. Spend several breaths feeling my bed, pillows, covers, and getting everything as comfortable as possible. Then i spend 3 breaths relaxing each body part, feeling the weight of it sink into the bed, starting with a foot. I focus really hard on this to keep my mind from wandering. I’m usually asleep by the time i get to my knees. It took practice, but now those 4am wakeups are usually brief. The hardest part is convincing myself that i deserve good sleep and can let everything else go.

We’re not old, we’re experienced. I love that I lived a ‘be home by dark’ childhood without a microchip.

I think duolingo has forums for it

Isn’t that what Drunk Pete did?

My grandma used to eat leftover rice with a little milk and sugar for breakfast. Kinda like oatmeal.

From Peter Coyote on Substack - I’m watching the Los Angeles reaction to ICE raids with trepidation and regret. Three years ago I taught a class at Harvard on the “theater of protest”— designed to help people understand why so many protests turn out to be Republican campaign videos working directly against the interests of the original protest.

A protest is an invitation to a better world. It’s a ceremony. No one accepts a ceremonial invitation when they’re being screamed at. More important you have to know who the real audience Of the protestis. The audience is NEVER the police, the politicians, the Board of supervisors, The Congress,etc. The audience is always the American people, who are trying to decide who they can trust; who will not embarrass them. If you win them, you win power at the box office And power to make positive change.Everything else is a waste. There are a few ways to get there.

Number 1 let women organize the event. They’re more collaborative. They’re more inclusive, and they don’t generally bring the undertones of violence men do. 2 appoint monitors, give them yellow, vests and whistles. At the first sign of violence, they blow the whistles and the real protester sit down. Let the police take out their aggression on the anarchists and the provocateurs trying to discredit the movement. Number 3 dress like you’re going to church. It’s hard to be painted as a hoodlum When you’re dressed in clean Presentable clothes. They don’t have to be fancy they just signal the respect for the occasion that you want to transmit to the audience.Number 4, make your protest silent. Demonstrate your discipline to the American people.Let signs do the talking. Number 5 go home at night. In the dark, you can’t tell the cops from the killers. Come back at Dawn fresh and rested. I have great fear that Trump’s staging with the National Guard and maybe the Marines is designed to clash with anarchists who are playing into his hands and offering him the opportunity to declare an insurrection. It’s such a waste and it’s only because we haven’t thought things through strategically. Nothing I thought of is particularly original. It was all learned by watching the early civil rights protests in the 50s and 60s. And it was the discipline and courage of African-Americans that drew such a clear line in the American sand that people were forced to take sides and that produced the civil rights act. .The American people are watching and once again if we behave in ways that can be misinterpreted, we’ll see this explained to the public in Republican campaign videos benefiting the very people who started this. Wake up. Vent at home. In public practice discipline and self control. It takes much more courage.
