"Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.

Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend." - Bruce Lee

Noam Chomsky is one of those people that some people will defend reflexively without even thinking.

Try not to have powerful people that you defend reflexively without even thinking.

That's abuse culture.

i like Firestorm. i've visited and bought books from them.

can't see their posts anymore, though. not sure why, maybe they're auto-deleted or follower-only, maybe i'm blocked

if you'd like to try living in the moment - i recommend meditation, drugs, or homelessness

with meditation being the least expensive option

being stealth homeless i hear people say stuff they probably wouldn't say or would word differently if they were aware

and it's a variety of people - conservatives, progressives, anybody really

Image is black-and-white four-panel comic/graphic titled "Mushroomed". Top panel: Image is illustration of underside of mushroom cap showing gills and stem. Text reads: "After a rain mushrooms appear on the surface of the earth as if from nowhere." Second panel: Image is illustration of up-close, side view of fruiting bodies. Text reads: "Many do so from a vast ounderground fungus that remains invisible and unknown." Third panel: Image is illustration of bicameral perspective of ground. A mycelial network is seen underneath the ground leading up to fruiting bodies emerging from the earth. Text reads: "What we call mushrooms, mycologists call the fruiting body of the larger, less visible fungus." Fourth panel: Image is illustration of distant side view of ground level, featuring the bottom of tree trunks with shelf mushrooms growing on them, and the tops of cap-and-stem mushrooms growing on the earth surface. Text reads: "(Uprisings and revolutions are often considered to be spontaneous)" at bottom of image: from Hope in the Dark, Rebecca Solnit
