@kctoons @realMeetJames I think that kid may have blocked me.

He legit thinks Farmers are somehow in cahoots with Scientists so that companies can grow "lab grown meat"... which would basically take away the jobs from the farmers. He has no idea how much of an idiot he sounds like... 😂

@realMeetJames @dfamilk You hardly have the credibility to be questioning others transparency and accountability with claims you pull from thin air... 😂

Your audience is full of conspiracy theorists and the easily manipulated for a reason...

@realMeetJames @JoanieMO101919 I feel like maybe sweet James is missing out on the sarcasm/irony here.

We are all just a collection of stories that we tell ourselves…

…. death… the real, human death… is when we stop telling ourselves that story.

Overly polished people in their 30's and 40's make me suspicious...

As a non-believer, I have a hard time with the term "pagan". To me, all supernatural elements of religion are lacking in reality... so having a word to single out the old or lesser worshipped religions is just... silly.

No matter what anyone ever says… kindness matters.

I often find myself feeling embarrassed as if i'd been walking around with my zipper down and everyone knew... but without knowable cause. It's just... a feeling.

What if self-awareness is so painful that people are constantly pushing toward ways to minimize that awareness…

Alcohol, drugs, religion, trances, sex… even meditation… can be ways to briefly allow us to ignore the void as it stares back at us.

Lots of things in life would be better if people realized that "their" way often isn't "the" way...

Instead we should embrace the curiosity of the difference and leave behind the judgement we dish out to make ourselves feel better.

What if simulation theory is true. But so is… say… Judaism. And the simulation includes its simulated god. In Christianity’s case, it’s simulated Jesus.

Like a Russian Nesting Doll of simulated gods.

We are the stories we tell ourselves.

I'm taking a break from Facebook... mostly just from the toxicity that came with a lot of the group stuff.

It's incredibly draining and my cup has run dry... I'm no good to anyone like this... let alone myself...

Some consciousnesses seem to lay just under the surface… barely contained by the flesh covering it.

Others run deep. Dark currents of turbulent though beneath cooler and calm waves.

The human mind is the most precious thing in our galaxy…

… the only known way the universe has to know itself.

One man should never be responsible for that many to be extinguished.

[Forgetting In Progress @ForgettingIn]

On the days where the pain starts to become too heavy and I complain aloud, people act as if I should be calling the doctor in a panic…

…but the pain isn’t going away. It’s always there. Some days it just gets harder than others to keep under the surface.
