Have been spending most of my Mastodon time reading/listening. I don't want to bring in bad habits from twitter, and just in general want to switch to a more thoughtful approach to SocMedia.

But so far have been happy to see the type of conversations federated around me!

I feel really bad seeing what’s happening on #Twitter. I could try to make fun of it but it’s actually just really sad. I owe my entire career to the community I’ve built on that platform.

I've made many malas, but I think this is one of my favourites (and yes I do make them for sale)

How many teachings are still locked into cultural modes that propagate indoctrination above comprehensive education? A dharma education is still a partial education, allowing a controlled way of thinking, if followed exclusively. Western culture too promotes an increasingly secular, economy driven indoctrination and will therefore produce a unique teaching based on its proclivities.
What is perhaps interesting is wether the evolutionary nature dependent on biology is also capable of transcending or incorporating the biological drives? If so it would mean we can reconcile our Nature and find a higher aspect of being that exists in the transcendent. How will these two exist? Have they always done so?

It was three years ago that I started to see the shadow animals.

Good things are coming to me. I am attracting success into my life. I am channeling an abundance mindset. I am growing eyes all over my skin. Neon tentacles are sprouting from my skull. The human-faced moths spewing from cracks in the earth are obeying my commands.

When I'm feeling anxious at a party or other gathering, I just transmogrify into a top hat with googly eyes and wait until everyone goes away.

after much deliberation and intense consideration, I've decided NOT to nap today, even though I'm exhausted and really want to nap. I'm gonna push through because I need to sleep tonight and if I nap now, I'm sure I'll sleep for two hours and then be up until 2am. That isn't good.

Thank you for tuning into this very important update.

When joined, I was worried about what's appropriate to share here. But, I've come to the conclusion that it should be whatever I genuinely feel like sharing, as long as it's not unkind, hateful, inconsiderate, or polarizing.

I may make mistakes along the way, but I like to think we'll treat each other with grace for taking the risk of being vulnerable.

Quoting [a post on the orange site](news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3):

*Me and my colleagues will be affected by the end of Z library and co related projects.*

*Here in Brazil and for sure in most second and third world countries, people don't have money to spend in books.*

*You can argue that people can go to the library, but in most cases it's even expensive to take a bus or taxi even a Uber.*

*I'm a law student at an university in brazil. Law books are really expensive. Even though my university have a library, sometimes it doesn't have the books that the professors ask us to read.*

*Since I found z library I could have access to most of books that I needed.*

*I do know that the writers and publishers have costs and they need to make money, but I don't agree with the fact that we have to pay to have knowledge. It's more like if we don't have money, we can't have knowledge.*
