I am bumping this project to the top of my notes, as I was reminded of it today; in particular how it relates to spin coherence and those who have worked with a newer element called Ormus: Posted a new project under Becoming Objects. Read the full description. Glass 1.1
Hurricane Sandy ushered in a change in people’s lives beyond that which is brought by the force of wind and water. It may be merely symbolic, but since that day in late October a series of events occurred that seemed to show us the ills in our world, (the mass killing at Sandy Hook, the gang rapes ignored by authorities in India and Steubenville, OH). But if you look closely, a seismic shift has occurred and provided a small glimpse into how the escalation of corruption, cruelty, and the senseless destruction of life does not go on forever.
“Poverty is not fate, it is a condition; it is not a misfortune, it is an injustice. It is the result of social structures and mental and cultural categories, it is linked to the way in which society has been built, in its various manifestations.” — Gustavo Gutiérrez (via anarcho-queer) (Source: mikeqj, via dendroica)
What can you do with what appears to be a growing collection of strange voicemails? I decided to share one of the best.
I just learned of the work of artist Phillip Chen. This image is listed under lithography on his site.
In 2012 I testified before the Washington State Legislature regarding the creation of a new kind of protection order for victims of stalking. The Bill was considered because there was no protection for victims of stalking, that occurred outside of Domestic Violence. I felt it was important for the Order to also include cyberstalking. The… Continue Reading
There is something compelling and beautiful about this image; a 1886 photo provided by the Library of Congress via the Theodore Roosevelt Center in North Dakota. Shown are Wilmot Dow, left, Theodore Roosevelt, center, and William Wingate Sewall, right. Perhaps it is because they seemed to feel themselves to be bears. Rough Riders and Renegades,… Continue Reading
I went to Goodwill (a thrift store), the other day, as I do when I want to pick-up something needed for the house, or just to do a little historical reflection on what has been valued and devalued over the years. As I entered the electronics section, I passed 7 or 8 old televisions, turned… Continue Reading

Julian Assange did an interview on Democracy Now, which aired today. If you take the time to listen to Assange speak, you will almost always learn something. He and his colleagues are survivors in a battle against great formidable enemies. There is no reason why they should have survived half the time of the battle… Continue Reading

[Poem] There was Earth in them, and they dug. They dug and they dug, and so their Day went by, and their Night. And they did not praise God, who, so they heard, wanted all this, who, so they heard, knew of all this. They dug and they heard nothing more; did not grow wise,… Continue Reading
I am following Tangerine Bolen, and creating a list of people who I am grateful for and who I feel have contributed to our great country this past year. Without their tremendous effort it is likely the freedom we depend on would be greatly diminished. Glenn Greenwald Edward Snowden Alexa O’Brien Daneil Ellsberg Chris Hedges… Continue Reading
I am developing compassion for the frontman. Once he/she recognizes the loathsome role they have been assigned by those who encouraged them, they would be better off not discussing it. For if they perceive their scapegoat is becoming uncomfortable rather than carrying out their task in blissful ignorance, history shows they will likely turn on… Continue Reading
This story was something I read years ago. I love the imagery it creates. I thought I would take some time away to venture into the garden. I found it on Google Books, which allows you to embed. Here it is.
