@iamstephenwest@iamstephenwest I'm curious about your take on Buddhism. You seem to poo-poo it; but Weil's attention & quality of being & reality align with how I understand and practice presence within that framework. I couldn't tell where you thought they diverge.?
@iamstephenwest THANK YOU so much. Loved learning about Susan Sontag, & Simone W. before her. I've been pondering a lot of these things; this has been vital fodder & balm to brain and heart. Ordered their books.
@CultOrJustWeird Re: the convo about whether you can 'know' the color blue with 'data' vs experience, pls listen to @iamstephenwest 's podcast episode #179 at 10:47 for a breakdown of why data isn't sufficient. Neither science/language can create subjective experience!!
I just donated to Blue Ridge Abortion Fund! Thanks to @CultOrJustWeird for the reminder about regular support for existing, local networks; we can't go back to 1972 b/c of amazing efforts already in place.

@AldiUSA My family adores your gluten-free bagels. My daughter has Celiac disease. But now they seem to have... vanished? And the internet is disagreeing on whether you've discontinued them or not. Please advise. I hope not - it's hard to find really good gluten-free items.

we can't afford homes to raise families in. we can't afford doctors to have safe pregnancies & births. we can't afford to take time off work to recover from the physical trauma of pregnancy & labor. we can't afford childcare. we can't afford to continue like this.
If this was about babies, there would be universal healthcare. Free education. Free daycare. Southern states would be doing all they can to drop the Black maternal mortality rate. This is about power and control
@JMillzDC@mmfa Personhood at conception is the goal which is a another attack on women. It will directly affect employment and privacy to include surveillance. This is a fucking travesty and betrayal of all women. LGBTQ+ are next. Amerika is now an authoritarian white Christian theocracy.
@JMillzDC IANAL, but it's curious how Thomas skipped over Loving, which was decided on what appear to be very similar grounds.
For those not familiar, that's the case that legalized interracial marriage in the US.
Also for those not familiar, Thomas is Black, and his wife is white.
@JMillzDC Of course the one decision he didn’t mention was Loving giving the right to interracial marriage that is also 100% derived from the same precedents and rational
Hypocrisy much

@NBC29 WHAT IS GOING ON WITH YOUR SOUND?? fyi, it's not user error. We can hear every single other station just fine, as well as background music for your commercials. Just not the narrator.
@NBC29 HEY. WE ARE TRYING TO WATCH YOUR STATION, but there's no sound. Or - there's some noise, but it's like the channel on the mixer that allows you to hear people talking isn't on. Can you please fix?
