#today I'm hoping to do a live stream. As always it depends on how I feel. On the 20th this month I turn 56. Damn I'm getting old. Not too old though. I might still have some surprises inside this old skin suit. (eww that sounded gross) I'm also going to start work on a new post for my blog. I have an idea as to what I want to say, but I need to work it out first. What are YOU going to do today?

Someone needs to come up with a way to watch porn better on Linux machines. Linux would have half the PC home market within a year.

This is your reminder that your Fedi experience is in your control. You can block, mute, or ban as you see fit. There's no one stopping you. Don't like someone? Block them. Don't want to block them but don't want to see their posts? Mute them. Hell, you could block an entire instance if you wanted to. And then when people attempt to circumvent your mutes and blocks, talk to your instance admin and see how they can help. And then, tell others. This is your space too. Take care of it.

If you understand life in a way that others don't, and it makes you revel in your own genius rather than encourage you to create more space for empathy in your life, then you don't understand as much as you think.

So you're saying the end of the world is supposed to be WORSE then THIS???

Every glass breaks. When we look at something, we should see it as both whole, and broken. This way when the glass eventually breaks, it's not unexpected. By learning to accept that all things are impermanent we transcend the unsatisfactory nature of our minds expectations and embrace the moment as it exists and not how we wished it would be. The past is gone, and the future does not yet exist. The only thing we have that is real, is the present moment. Live in it.

Good morning Fedi! It's Friday. #today we're trying to get our dog to the vet. We're concerned about a large tumor on his shoulder. He's prone to fatty tumors that we've had removed in the past, but this one is a lot harder then the others, so we have some concerns. He was also limping and lethargic for two days recently and we have no idea why? Hopefully the vet will know what's going on. Other then that, nothing planed. I hope your day goes better then mine!

This week let's try backing off a bit from all of the outrage porn (the news). It's good to stay informed of world events, but not to the point of obsession or entertainment. We don't need to be told the same horrific details repeatedly. It's just not good for our mental health. Start be reducing the amount of news that you read or watch. Only trust sources that give just the facts and don't sensationalize. And if you're posting news, make sure you aren't beating a dead horse. Take a break.

Ugh, struggling to get the brain going this morning. I might feel better after my morning meditations. Right now the old noggin just wants to vegetate. #today is a laundry day. nothing big, just some clothes. So that shouldn't take long. Other then that, I'll take the day as it comes. What are you doing today?

Just realized I haven't been out of the house but to take my dog out to pee for 6 weeks. I REALLY need to get out this weekend.
