Bug is rowing past Pogo and Churchy and asks them if either is one year old today. He is “looking for somebody what trying hard to be a year old—not everybody makes it-I got a cake here for he who do-“

Pogo by Walt Kelly from October 31, 1955. One of several annual strips marking the birthday of his daughter Kathryn Barbara Kelly, who died as an infant. In these strips, the bug was always trying to deliver a cake with one candle to someone for their first birthday but could never find them.

Continuity of the self is an illusion

If one day I loose my mind, it's going to be like this. In fact this madness is always just beneath to the surface, and I'm walking on thin ice.

And the words they say
Which we won’t understand
“Don’t accept that what’s happening
Is just a case of others’ suffering
Or you’ll find that you’re joining in
The turning away”

YouTube video by MrOLMOBE ♫ Pink Floyd - On The Turning Away [Lyrics]

No more turning away
From the weak and the weary
No more turning away
From the coldness inside
Just a world that we all must share
It’s not enough just to stand and stare

Learning a new language is a way to open oneself to new perspectives, new views of the world. It enrich one in more than just words, and gives a broader understanding of where you live.

Oh, to be a cloud, slowly drifting by under the sun, over the landscape, the wind for sole purpose

You can count on me to buy it!
Thank you for your wonderful work, for sharing it with us, and for making us feel these emotions.

Do you plan to sell physical copies? Because I would love to read it on paper and add it to the bookshelves. It's really good.

That's already great! Any amount is good. We don't need to send much if there are a lot of us contributing.

i just gave myself a monthly subscription to wikipedia today as i truly believe it's one of the last bastions of pure, reliable information. i use it daily, and i'm sure many of you all do too. i think if you've ever thought of donating to wikipedia before, now more than ever is truly the time to

If you don't know what to do to make this world better, subscribe to Wikipedia. While reliable sources of information are being dismantled everywhere, this one is a stronghold we must defend.

I was giving from time to time but you're right, it's time for subscription

This body is mine…

”Tristeza não tem fim
Felicidade sim”

Sadness has no end
Happiness does

Believe it or not, this music is relief, a balm for the heart.

Everyone could use a reminder that the idea behind our system of government is that we cede some of our power to it in exchange for it working on our behalf. When it stops doing that it becomes illegitimate and must be changed. The idea that the people can "betray" a government organ is perverse

The "cognitive decline and brain damage from repeat COVID infections" and "easy to use robot that makes slop and melts your critical thinking skills" is a hell of a combo in a post-fact media ecosystem

Carbon storage initiatives are frauds and red herrings. Even at full capacity, they will only ever be able to store a tiny fraction of what we emit. The solution lies in ending our dependence on fossil fuels, and there is no technological shortcut for that.

No single neuron contains consciousness. Only the network pulses create the appearance of mind.
