We need a mindset change - from seeing nature as separate from humans, to seeing it as an integral part of our existence.

Social Software but not Social People... 

@GossiTheDog People also make people better.
BUT software alone doesn't teach people how to be more social (at all). So without people pushing social it's mostly just great software sometimes with nobody pushing and reply and encouraged to reply. It's not really a movement of people which Mastodon kind of is as software but isn't manned as much else to really spread it's principles with everyone here mutual (a lot) but not really doing much about it or giving each other things to do (that kind of social like massive pub / go around tables / get there in the end kind of meet randoms).

Strangers are still seen as just that like everyone forgets how to meet / make new friends / cooperation.

I say this positively that there's a whole another (like another SpiderVerse / ...) but basically people aren't that friendly to strangers (that's the of we need to break to all become more friends and weed the rest out / upgrade them)

People are the same as the outside.

and scared even though I wouldn't be able to do much from here but help them and give ideas which are the basis of all trying... And way too comfortable paying taxes.

but very evident in a number of ways on etc...

Stop calling it fucking deportation. People are being kidnapped off the street, and shipped to death camps where nobody leaves alive. The nazis didn't deport a lot of people to Poland. Death camps!

There's a voice in the back of my head saying "If we use the big words willy-nilly we devalue them and won't have them when they matter." Well, this is it. Republicans are fascists, ICE are their goon death squad, CECOT is a death camp.

Nobody is a bystander. There's resistance and collaborators.

They want to make us poor (A reminder of human life using bank's usury at it's core)... 

is not to be passed on but paid for as much as

possible more infinitely as a kind of "" and "" towards more useless (because it's mostly for others while people stay nearer minimum lines to exist).

Keeping people as customers and keeping people

coming back is a lot via . What stays broken basically needs us to constantly mend it without every getting there with money alone and forever paying...

Selling / Buying (loans / fees = devaluation of total

money in the pool) and a large part of itself

making it never-ending.

details for how works."

"may all beings be free from sickness and sufferings" and slight nuanced version towards healing more... 

@lemon I like this and a lot of what I've scrolled just now....

I wonder if sickness and suffering is part of things naturally and instead of almost going against that (true there is many kinds we could avoid doing to ourselves and unto others), but from another perspective helping each other heal and be together in that, simpler help instead not to stay stuck or ill for too long... so a sort of quicker recovery as the process and perspective rather than being completely free (even though the phrase might be more of a gesture than a rule).

Just though that nuanced perspective we also kind of need people to yes wish peolpe good health, but also involve helping in healing, processing, being, and yes sitting together sometimes with it.. 💗

Nice posts and though I'd see what you think of that while I look at more...

the queerness of mushrooms 🍄🍄🍄

mycelium networks defy neat categorizations -- they are at once singular and plural, both individual spores and interconnected colony .. a metaphor & model for imagining & supporting queer relationships and communities 🤍

omg gotta love that mushroom centaur !! 🥰

catalog.libraries.psu.edu/cata

"Fungi challenge us to rethink neat categories around the individual, but they are not the only ones. Another boundary-defying organism is the Slime Mold. These unicellular eukaryotic organisms have the astonishing capacity to join and become a complex multicellular organism. Slime Molds will merge and move as a collective which allows them to better respond to their shifting environments, search for food, and have sex. In a world that feels increasingly precarious, there are lessons here. Devin Cohen, one of the Hanky Project artists, writes that for them, Slime Molds reflect the possibilities for queer communities to work collectively, dissemble the refuse of our human world -- capitalism, environmental waste, cis-hetero-patriarchy, racism -- and 'digest it into something life giving, healed, welcoming and weird.' In a country where toxic individualism has wreaked havoc, where mantras like 'pull yourself up by the bootstraps,' are presented as means for 'success,' organisms that choose to come together present a radical and refreshing alternative." quote from the book Exuberant Possibilities : Queer Ecology Hanky Project this photo is of pages 18 and 19 of the book as displayed during the exhibit, Earth Archives. the page is typed in light purple text. the page is illustrated with a blue-green block print of a mushroom centaur holding a crystal staff .. many blue-green block print honey mushrooms also decorate the page

"Trees smell like Stars. Trees breathe in starlight year after year, and it goes deep into their bones. So when you cut a tree open, you smell a hundred years worth of light. Ancient starlight that took millions of years to reach Earth. That’s why trees smell so beautiful and old."

Quake 3 + free games (don't play them anymore for the un-progressive sides)... but happy to hear how others see it... 

@Blyfh Interesting to hear you play Quake III occasionally - how / where do you play it with others?

It's a solid game but also I can't play these games either for many reasons
- 'wasting' of time online (non-progression of my skills also otherwise I might consider it not wasting but improving!)
- bandwidth (mentality 'playing' and also download speeds are a bit UNecological and again UNprogressive and empty packets at the end - unless there was more social and helping aspects to it)
- war games (just is I guess while as kids/adults we claim strategy and everything (true) it's also a bit repetitive mindless even in the sending and exploding of virtual rockets!)

Above is just an accumulation of feelings I had but again don't knock others (well I do but not if they really improve and mix other real-life aspects else it is 'killing time'). And while I accept 'nothing else to do outside' as totally 100% legit - we must create something else of a better way and better social.

Oh my that was quite a post written quick but also yeah feels fairly on point with me and things over the years (otherwise i was playing Q3 non-stop for example as a long list of anything I could download for free - but free isn't good either anymore!)

@Wisesnail 🔴 I like it a lot
🔴 Spelling of name is "Aziraphale" in your hashtag
🔴 Would be great idea to have their faded faces of each character looking up / down towards each other (with same pictures you have already) to reflect their side reaching towards each other.

Would be almost like a playing cards but bigger face in each corner. (just realised the hands would be facing the wrong way looking at 2st pic for example - a face in bottom-left corner and face in top-right corner would still look ace)

What do you think? Think you can put some faded faces on their? 👼 :blobdevil:

We are simply not stopping hell. #TerryPratchett #Quote #GoodOmens #Film 

And this for me is modern people / Church / etc - every day not facing or getting rid of things... just keeping the 'peace' (not really working on it personally in their life for real change)

...and that 'nice-nice' is undermining every single thing they do trying to manage it that way.

"We are simply not stopping hell.
What they do is up to them."

MORE EXPLAINED:
continues as plays along effectively, maybe to keep themselves alive too!

So both sides are not going to war fully in order to keep themselves alive (the modern day equation) and not eliminate each other (even though that undermines everything they do as both sides "manage" it badly / immoral according to what they stand for)

What they do is up to them."

Hope you don't mind + Send link to Brett please... 

@DarkOptimism I just replied to the HappyPig pinned post and wanted to say "hope you don't mind" using your post somewhat for a similar audience and place - piggy backing that (pardon the phrase) as something also genuine but in Europe also and welcoming others for free...

I said in that reply:

" Similar in Europe / Near Germany with open invite...

bin.dembased.xyz/house-of-eart "

BRETT MIGHT TO VISIT:

Oh yeah PLEASE pass link to Brett too as he's in Berlin which is a few trains away...

You'd save me trying to find him... as I'm on low-bandwidth / low-tech / poor internet connection (A bit like Mark everything takes longer!)
.
Link to pic of this place can be sent to anyone interested in Europe / Near Germany with open invite / anytime visit...!
