Seen on the road today: a vehicle with three stickers; a yellow ribbon, a thin blue line, and "but did you die?". A perfect encapsulation of the modern American's character, or lack thereof: cop-and-soldier worship coupled with bigoted disdain for those who suffer in life. 🤢

CNN:
These women wanted a symbolic expression of self-love. So they married themselves:
The practice, called sologamy, sometimes involves lavish ceremonies complete with vows, cakes and bridesmaids. Critics call it narcissistic, but those who do it say it's a healthy expression of self-love.

A quotation from Pratchett, Terry:
«««««
Of course someone would be that stupid. Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying “End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH,” the paint wouldn’t even have time to dry.

The practice of #meditation helps to find stillness in the present moment. This stillness is always present, but the noise of our thoughts can easily cloud our awareness of our true #Self or distract us from our connection to the #divine.

Finding yourself is not linear. Sometimes going the “wrong way” is exactly what was needed. It gives you the contrast you need to see your self clearer.
How might you start developing a healthy sense of #Self? Spend time alone w/ your thoughts. Make your mind a comfortable place to express to yourself things you don't need to tell anyone else. Secret-keeping in this sense is good. If things become chaotic in the outside world you can always have #PeaceOfMind.

#Self-defense
True, like the Banko Brown incident, where the people are quick to blame for the guard for the unjustified use of deadly force but, if you watch the video less passionately, you have to ask, why didn't Brown just run away?
He kept coming back for that stupid bag of stolen goods giving the guard the opportunity to re-engage Brown and, when Brown finally got out of the store, why didn't he just run away?
No, he challenged the guard and then said "something" and approached the guard which is when the guard shot him.
The law in every state provides that one may use lethal force in self-defense" if one is in fear of "great bodily injury or death."
Apparently the DA believes that there was sufficient cause for the guard to use deadly force on this basis but this will not stop the civil lawsuits that are certain to follow wc will turn on the same facts (but on a diff level of proof wc favors the guard).
Was the guard justified in using deadly force? Time will tell . . .
Half of Twitter seems to be convinced I'm some kind of a whore. All my life I save myself for someone I really love or at least have the hots for, and I actually thought that would help my reputation. Guess that's yet another expectation I had that's "unrealistic"...

Oh, I'm not getting any rise out of you; no likes, no boosts, no replies, no nothing. But I have metrics: I know you're looking at this. Your silence sends a clear message: you agree with my haters. Because all of you hate me too. All of you hate who I really am. Well, so be it.
I really feel like it's best if I never open up to or get close with anybody. I crave deep lasting companionship, but it's time I faced reality: I'm not truly capable of having anything other than the most superficial and passing of connections. For me the dream is impossible. 😢

Painting is "Glade jul" by Viggo Johansen.
1. “You shall have no other #God before me.”
If god is an #idea, and the idea is #love, then the #revolutionary idea is that God is #love. Thus, the translation becomes “You shall have no other idea before love.”
2. “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven #images.”
Traditionally translated, this meant don’t do #idolatry. But if the idea is love, then it means that the second you try to capture love in an image, you lose it. Love is an action. Love is a #verb, that disappears as soon as it’s #objectified.
3. “Thou shalt not take the name of the #lord thy god in vain.
In the traditional sense, we take this to mean don’t abuse the name of God. But cast in the active sense, to be #vain is to act with #vanity. From a #gospel of love, to take the idea of love, in vain, is to be totally immersed in #self-love. In a word, #selfishness. Don’t do it.
4. “Remember the Sabbath day and keep it #holy” Translated to the language of love means to don’t get so busy in your affairs that you forget the importance of practicing the idea that is love. Take some time and make some #space in your life just to #focus on the idea, that is love.
5. “#Honor thy mother and father.” Translates to the #symbolic embodiment of the love a #mother and #father hold for their #children. Honoring that love means acting toward others with the #gravity that love holds.
6. “Thou shalt not #kill.”
Does this need explanation? Honor love in the forefront of your mind and #killing another can never occur.
7. “Thou shalt not commit #adultery.”
Outside the love parents feel for their children, is there any greater love than that between husband and wife, wife and husband? Adultery is nothing more than succumbing to #lust, when the revolutionary idea tells us to keep love sacrosanct.
8. “Thou shalt not #steal.”
Rule? Or idea of love? Love and #respect are closely #synonymous. Taking from another what what one has no claim, as idea, is the highest form of disrespect.
9. “Thou shall not bear false #witness.”
Again, translates closely to not stealing. Disrespect for ones fellow, and more than that #disrespect for oneself. We all understand the idea … those that love themselves, and others, have #integrity. People with integrity travel in #truth. Those without integrity travel in #lies.
10. “Don’t covet." Because, wanting what someone else has is the surest way to hate, not love. The idea is to love one another, not things. Love, again, is an action. To love a thing so much as to put it before the action of love, is self-demeaning.

The data will indeed be encrypted in transport; what you lose is a level of certainty that the endpoint is who you think it is, which is a different issue that deserves to be considered on its own merits. #HTTPS #SSL #Self-Signed-Cert
I actually had a very positive experience these past six months, using #Self to strengthen my credit rating. No pressure sales tactics, no bombardment with products and services not needed. My credit score went up by 131 points - significant! I don't usually recommend such things, but Self has been a pleasant suprise. Click here to find out more...

Well, I think it's a good time to introduce myself personally besides my professional intro :heart_sp_pride:
Hi, I'm Mar, a Spanish nonbinary queer creature [she/they]! I'm an intersectional transfeminist, #illustrator and #tattoo apprentice, and also a #singer, #actor and alternative #model when the stars sweetly align ✨

Does anyone know of a VERY simple #self-hosted photo gallery app? Ie something I can just point to a directory, and it shows it in a browser, without modifying the contents of the directory.
At least 20,000 abortion pills are estimated to have been shipped across the U.S. in the six months since Roe v. Wade was overturned.

A surrender of the ego enables creative intuition to flourish. 🌼
Interesting conclusion by Theresa J. Hardman about the less conscious components of creative thinking.
For thoughts to move freely, and creativity to arise, it might be beneficial to diminish activation of large associative networks such as the "self".

Do people often misspell and/or mispronounce your name? No Saoirse or Siobahn or Niamh or Carolyn (not Caroline) or Eoin or Guillaume here?
I'm still getting used to using my Real Name on a social platform, and seeing myself @ mentioned with my name spelled correctly. I could get used to this!

The social norm is constructed: not naturally occurring but created by the society in which it is found.
Hence there are no actions which in themselves are inherently #abnormal or universally condemned by all societies at all times. #Deviance is thus situational and contextual.

My little was so delighted to be able to create an avatar in her learning app (ABC Mouse) that looked like her. She held her arm up to the screen to match her skin and squealed in delight when locs were a hair option. #Self-Determination is so much easier when you can see yourself.

Well now, as I've been here boosting & tooting for a whole month today, part of the whole #twittermigration preceded by #leavingfacebook & #myspace it's time for an #introduction:

@jgownder @AAKL: 'Rich doesn't mean clever' I believe goes for #SpaceKaren as it seems he isn't able to perfom any #self-assessment. Not sure about other 'rich' people though...
The best things you can do for an #independent #author:
1 - Buy and read their #book.
2 - Review it! This is a huge help in beating the #algorithms and getting seen. At least give it a star #review.
3 - Buy more copies of their book for #gifts at #birthdays and #holidays.
4 - Tell people about it when you are discussing #reading. Mass #market #books get plenty of #publicity. #Indie #writers depend largely on #self-promotion (which many of us cringe at) and word of mouth.
New here? Me too!
content warnings - use them, think of them as a subject line, not a trigger warning (although always include common triggers) useful ones are #food #politics #sex #porn #abuse #mentalhealth #self harm #trauma #death #covid #racism #transphobia #homophobia #colonialism #hatespeech #tories #brexit #trump
If you think - does this need a CW, then yes it does - its not just for dick pics

Hi everyone! A little late for the self-introductions, but here goes!
I'm a devops/systems/infra geek and would love to chat with anyone passionate about technology, regardless of field.
Currently, I'm interested a lot in #decentralization #privacy #self-hosting #homelab.#onprem
In my spare time, together with many others, we co-organize bi-weekly drinking sessions, so if you're ever in #singapore and would like to meet other techies, just hit me up👋
