i am always dismayed when someone says something like- "They have no morals!"

Because really that isn't true.
Somehow you have discovered that they have different morals than you, or different morals than are generally acceptable to your culture...

OR even more interesting you discover that a person has different sets of morals for different situations.
In one set of circumstances a way of being and in a different one (which you might not have been privy to until then) a way of being, doing and feeling that shocks you.

It can be shocking.

How we go about from that awareness to sort out the complete person and their relationship between and tension between Contradiction and Hypocrisy tells us a lot about ourselves.

A labor of love four years in the making, celebrating a trailblazing woman who shattered multiple glass ceilings.

"Major Escalation!" scream the headlines.
How is this not surprsing?
The White House and The Democrats continue to support (and Republicans) Israel, offering not determined and real steps to stop the genocide in Gaza and the horrors in all The Occupied Territories and so there are Preemptive attacks in Lebonnon.

Cease Fire Now by way of an immediate Arms Embargo of Israel.

Hello FBers...
Do you have any ideas (of all colors, flavors, shapes, sizes and textures) for
"How NOT to..." books?
We have so many How To books...
What "How Not To" book would you write? Would you buy" Would like to see "so and so" write?

i have moments when i feel as if some of my friends, acquaintences and even random folks i interact with need an "Intervention".
And then i realize that that methodology is individual focused and it is our Dynamic Amorphous Compartmentalized Cohorts/Families/Cultures that need an Intevention.

i am working on a chapbook/zine/something that will contain the questions i ask myselves when i feel as if i am in a fu**ed up place and feel i need to be confronted and snapped out of a swirling backwater eddy of stuckness.

Maybe it will be marketed as a Bathroom Book?

FYI-
i am starting to prep for my 1st colonoscopy which is scheduled for tomorrow morning.
The actual procedure i am not having any issues with...
but i am so upset and angry about how i have recieved information about the process and all the shenanigans and timing of said shenanigans that are needed to make sure my bowels are ready!
So i am probably going to be cranky, hangry, and seriously sleep deprived at various moments throughout the next few days until it is over and some semblance of my regular routine is reestablished- eating, sleeping and exercise.

i will be doing the Brick By Brick Session- 60 Hours over 60 Days to Mark my 60 Years- this morning and hopefully again tomorrow late afternoon. Trying to not miss a day in this project. Tomorrow will be the half way mark!
If you are interested in following along i post the session on Instagram

And if you want to help out....
You can look for bricks to contribute!
The bricks will eventually be used to construct the pathway borders for a Labyrinth at the Burial Ground.

with pleasure in the struggle
and
the struggle is real

"Not ALL Americans are
pro-genocide."
Some are just tolerant of genocide.
