Early evening over a neglected village. And two eyes dreaming. I go back thirty years... and five wars. I see that time holds for me a grain of hope. The singer sings about fire and strangers. And the evening was evening. And the singer was singing. And they interrogate him "Why do you sing?" He replies "Because I sing." They searched within him But found only his heart They searched his heart But found only his people They searched his voice But found only his sadness They searched his sadness But found only his prison They searched his prison But found only themselves in chains And the evening was evening. And the singer was singing. - Mahmoud Darwish

the concept of the ground is really intense. you stand on it. there's so much shit under there. what? idk but you can dig down there to find out. it could be anything. there could be an underground lake. there could be bones. eventually it gets really hot. it is comforting to have that. that it can only be warm. there are no icicles down there. if you find some you did something wrong.

in more seriousness, cos sorry for sharing garbage, this seems to be coming from proposals shared in june 2025 in the british national daily tabloid newspaper: daily mirror owned by reach plc (known as trinity mirror between 1999 and 2018) aka the phone hacking by mirror group journalists people to elaborate on the *objectively* so not funny part, cant imagine how much domestic violence, sexual assault, and alcohol and drug use would sky rocket if this was ever implemented dire as hell out here

*objectively* so not funny, yes but it is making me laugh dying that russia is saying: im taking away the nintendo taking your tiktoks it is now the 1700s until sunrise

idk so im kinda asking open ended to me: in a life begetting life way, mildly, im not sure it is

"Be suspicious of certainty. That certainty is the beginning of something decomplexifying the actual situation. And when inflation gets really hot inside of us, then anything that challenges the certainty becomes a problem." - Joseph Lee clip begins at 35m45s mark

the same! chicken (breast) cutlets!

29.1.2026 title: Contagious Corruption channel: this jungian life description (partial): "Join Jungian analysts Deb, Joe, and Lisa as they discuss the psychology of corruption, reveal how power quietly rewires the ego, and share what to watch for when certainty starts feeling addictive. They explain how trust erodes when bestowed power turns into private gain, why psychological inflation makes you feel superhuman while your consciousness dims, how certainty becomes a drug, and how fear and status games turn communities into us-versus-them. They discuss why power itself is neutral, how it goes underground when you pretend you don't have any, and what it looks like to build checks and balances, in your relationships, in your workplace, and in your own head. Finally, they discuss: * The Heartless Giant fairytale * Purity fantasies that fuel splitting * Shadow-making price of consciousness. * The alchemical search for the incorruptible substance, from gold that never tarnishes to the Garden of Eden (where losing innocence might be the price of consciousness.)" first listen was yesterday, listening to it for the second time now. heads up: when it comes to the dream interpretation segment at the end, which they do every episode, they kinda really hit the dream submitter in a way ive never heard them hit anyone before. ~i understand the instinct to do so~ but i really dont think they should've cos he is a listener, as in, they are in a place of esteem to him and this is a public thing with a pretty big audience. idk, i just think a wack like that is pretty harsh like is he gonna walk away now underwriting his dreams to overcompensate forevermore? and for what. https://youtu.be/O5xfVWHCPzI

thought the chicken breasts were chicken cutlets because i didnt touch them, only glanced so dinner was late cos i thought i was only cooking something that takes a couple minutes 😞 next time, i must touch the chicken in the fridge to make sure

the squirrels are still building their tunnels in the snow. one collapsed but there are many more now. i know numbers the most, cos i would count up and count down from 100 while i was on walks years ago.

what's a pleb? like what does it entail why would i want to be one?

sixteen mourning doves are eating seeds on my back deck. i know that cos i counted them in kanienʼkéha. other birds are here too, like blue jays and juncos and a pine sisken.
