Yarn!!! I'm crocheting my husband a new sweater. I took apart the cardigan I made him and crocheted a sweater out of it, but it's too small. I can squeeze into it, but the sleeves are too tight. So probably the younger daughter or one of her kids can wear it.

"People are not so clever" is the answer to most conversation going wrong / not even starting? Are people *so scared* or insecure (etc...) that Corporations can just tap into an endless source of the same fear and doubt (even about people's own shadow) and play people off each other?... even on Fediverse? 

Are people *so scared* or insecure (etc) ? that they think about everything else than the obvious in humans?

Is it like a fear of their own own shadow since they can't take their own agency and give it up for fear?

As time goes on I'm trying to lean less people are the same everywhere... and not really different on Fediverse more than a bit more enlightened...

pretty much same as - a bit more clever but same isms / shadow jumping?

Conversation example below after no answer and time in between:

●Me●: Did you see the few replies I sent to some of your posts?

●Person X●: Yes, I did. I can't figure out if you're a bot, or what your angle is, or what your goal is. I don't know if you're selling something, or looking for a pen pal, or trying to generate traffic, or what.

●Me● Ok, fair enough with the thoughts, so it's none of those but perhaps the obvious one that we're on social.... and occasionally than means talking... to each other?

How come that normal social isn't in the list and all the far-out seems to be?

Like you post good stuff and expect nothing ?

Honestly surprising after all the genuine interest, but I appreciate your honesty - just tell me you can't do anything but fear like this and I'll go away and leave you to it if you like...

-----------------------------

SERIOUSLY ARE PEOPLE REALLY SO LOW IN EVERYTHING?

Did they buy the propaganda that AI is doing everything already OMG - if it's a tactic people are successfully making it work against others... using what is the same "people are not so clever" endless source.

Be brave... Not fear first... Let someone help... FEAR CONTAMINATES... Being brave allows POSITIVES to the table FIRST... 

Be brave... let someone help you if you can't be brave. Not fear first as it contaminates just bringing what you like to the table... and staying with positives...

Let people lead without your fear-creating questions and openly say you're testing time with them.
I don't mind tests without it being your FEAR FIRST.

Withhold all your list of doubts to see how it goes FIRST... !! Simple!

Boost this for yourself as a reminder, even if not for others!

New Yorkers = New migrants in NY... This city is made of waves of immigrants. New people arrive and we start working together...

The Newest New Yorkers

Hi! This is Rev…. I’m sending this message to fellow Big Apple citizens, but let me include you in. Lots of you out there are former NYers or you might have other reasons to take interest in our handling of our new friends from afar. Here’s my pitch:

——

LISTEN UP NEW YORKERS. TAKE THE WELCOME OF NEW NEW YORKERS INTO YOUR OWN HANDS. (CITY HALL IS IMITATING TEXAS.) IF WE SHARE WHAT WE HAVE - THE NEWCOMERS ARE READY TO GIVE.

“The migrants will destroy New York. And they are coming to a neighborhood near you.” Mayor Eric Adams’ quote is from Donald Trump’s playbook, experimenting with directed fear. He wants us to forget that we are New Yorkers.

As some of you know, the world travelers walked into our downtown world, some of them in flip-flops and t-shirts, not ready for their first northern winter. When we found them freezing in long lines with the city not taking them in, East Village Neighbors Who Care brought out food and clothing. Now 100 West Africans spend their weekdays with the choir in the Earthchxrch, with the same neighbors there helping...

NYC is the wealthiest city, with empty real estate just sitting there. We are approaching full employment. We got jobs. But the newcomers are being confronted with a cynical hostile environment, smacking of the old workfare schemes. They must prove to exhausted civil servants that they are looking for work and a place to live, or they will be left to the streets. This is an obvious Kafka nightmare.

If someone has fled gunmen and journeyed 5,000 miles, and now seeks asylum in the city with Lady Liberty’s torch shining on the waters - is this a helpless free-loader? Hey Eric! Are you afraid of their strength? …their stamina and independence? Are the leaders of tomorrow sleeping on the subway benches?

Simple. This city is made of waves of immigrants. New people arrive and we start working together. New York.

The anti-democracy motives of the robber barons of the last Gilded Age led to two worlds wars, a global economic crash in 1929, and the Great Depression.

Billionaires build world wars, climate refugee crises, and famine.

Watching old movies that were shot on actual film brings me so much joy now. Such beautiful colors. It’s downright relaxing. I’m tired of the over saturated digital look almost every new production has nowadays.

Jobs in the 2000s:

"Here's an article and a nice budget, please illustrate it, thanks."

"We're launching a new Gen Y concept in market. It's a fresh approach to Platform X, and we're working with TikTok influencers on unique NFTs. We need you to create 120 generative AI style characters in two weeks. We don't have a high budget, but you'll get lots of exposure. Someone on Fiverr offered to do it for $ 75."

Social Media comments.... Scrolling is addictive + after you quit social media, is that you feel that you're going through a codependent breakup...

@freemo Is searching our own posts disabled deliberately atm?

(says so after trying, I mentioned it weeks before)

To Be [Alive] or Not To Be [Alive]

That is the basic question.

● Give a man fish to feed him for a day... 🐡

● Give a man money and he'll spend it or put someone else in debt... 💲 🏦 💰

● Give a man a mobile and watch the whole earth crumble... 📱🔔

⛓️ (Smaller chains OK... Bigger chains = continual domino effect and damage)

We are a mix of genders?... Aren't we just a mix of both / all ? 

❓ Question ➡️ Are you male or female?

☑️ Answer ➡️ "basically my mum is female and my dad is male so I'm mixed x! (or xy!)


and All Mixed?

Take a deep breath and let it out as slowly as you can. Do it again.
(Relaxation)
