Disregulated people scream in the void of social media. Take time for planets, cute cats, and local civc connections. Life cannot be lived, let alone rebuilt, in the void

How do we notice the policy but not give'em what they want?
This attack on DEI destroys some intra office trainings and, more dangerously, government that works for all.
We've all been through trainings that weren't helpful, sought confessions of privilege, etc. We do need a reset on some of this generations excesses. This isn't that.
Watched GATTACA last night, first time!! Starkly visualized future of DNA determinism, new underclass with tight story. Deserves cult status.
Remember I tried to see in theater in '97, left too fast.
Through the 90s DNA tech was still new. Star Trek, Law & Order and OJ trial instructed.
The purpose of the pardon is to claim the violence of January 6 as sacred. That's not hyperbole--the movement frames it in explicitly religio-nationalist terms. It's--as absurd as this sounds--to add 2021 to the mythic chronology of 1776 and D-Day.

Don't know who I admire more, people who dress for very cold weather or who have 'tough it out' mindset. Fear with gear, or no fear no gear.

I wrote from rare place: familiarity & curiousity. Prior summer I worked at museum on National Mall, played volleyball by Capitol.
Rituals, esp hand on Bible, felt mine/not mine
I wish we could cultivate a culture where people get excited about and share the new skills they've learned more than the new stuff they've bought.

"Forty-two years ago, for reasons beyond my comprehension, David Lynch plucked me out of obscurity to star in his first and last big budget movie. He clearly saw something in me that even I didn’t recognize. I owe my entire career, and life really, to his vision. What I saw in him was an enigmatic and intuitive man with a creative ocean bursting forth inside of him. He was in touch with something the rest of us wish we could get to. Our friendship blossomed on Blue Velvet and then Twin Peaks and I always found him to be the most authentically alive person I’d ever met. David was in tune with the universe and his own imagination on a level that seemed to be the best version of human. He was not interested in answers because he understood that questions are the drive that make us who we are. They are our breath. While the world has lost a remarkable artist, I’ve lost a dear friend who imagined a future for me and allowed me to travel in worlds I could never have conceived on my own. I can see him now, standing up to greet me in his backyard, with a warm smile and big hug and that Great Plains honk of a voice. We’d talk coffee, the joy of the unexpected, the beauty of the world, and laugh. His love for me and mine for him came out of the cosmic fate of two people who saw the best things about themselves in each other. I will miss him more than the limits of my language can tell and my heart can bear. My world is that much fuller because I knew him and that much emptier now that he’s gone. David, I remain forever changed, and forever your Kale. Thank you for everything."
was mostly keeping it together until I read Kyle MacLachlan's tribute to David Lynch
