Don’t mess with me, I have made it through this day.

The image show a photograph printed on a postcard depicting a group of seven men dressed in Tibetan Buddhist robes. Three sit in front of the four others who are standing. One man sitting is reading a ritual text, while the other two are holding ritual implements including mala beads, a prayer wheel, a vajra, and bell. The background shows large window panes and a section with crisscross patterns. The texture of the photograph evokes a vintage feel.

If you're an "ally" in some way, you really gotta step it up. The people who are suffering the most under oppression shouldn't be the only ones spreading hope, helping others, and performing community care. It's not fair to benefit from our labor and take credit for our work while doing nothing.

Wandering around Pigeon Forge bumping into people and mumbling about the Sixth Reich like Hunter Thompson stumbling around the Circus Circus.

Fuzzy Phidippus jumping spider with bright red uppers and black legs and dark face, a velvet ant mimic. He's on a dry leaf peering up at you

Top view of the colorful lad on the leaf, peering up and away from you at something out of frame

He's perfect, and #Arachtober themed

Mr Phidippus cardinalis appeared this afternoon and made my day. ❤️

The image shows a black and white photograph of a Guanyin statue with multiple arms, centrally placed within a room. The statue is elaborate, with several radiating arms each holding different objects. It stands on a pedestal in front of an intricate backdrop that appears to include swirling cloud-like patterns. Surrounding the central figure are smaller statues or carvings located on two tiers of platforms resembling a theater or gallery setting. The upper tier seems to contain seated figures in rows, while the lower level hosts standing figures clothed in traditional attire. The room appears to be part of a temple or monastery, characterized by wood and stone structures.

edited Heathcliff cartoon. Heathcliff is in the den of the Nutmeg home teaching a fish in a bowl. Heathcliff spgestures with one paw while using a pointer on an easel with the other. On the easel is the Far Side Cow Tools cartoon featuring a bipedal cow showing off a table of 4 crude tools. The fish is saying, "bro?" Iggy, Granny, and Grandpa Nutmeg watch from the doorway. Iggy says, "Yes... I believe there's a question there in the back."

I earnestly wish I could help you but all I actually have is banter. Latex is like two standard deviations more complex than it probably needs to be and three more than I’m able to comprehend.

I used to spend hours trying to get graphics and formatting to work in Office. Since I started using Latex I just accept that it isn’t possible.

If phenomena are constricted through the limited perception of the ordinary senses, the passions arise and cause karma. When phenomena are recognized as the inconceivable affluence of wisdom senses, Buddhahood is attained.
