the mundane whirl @js0000@toot.cat

decent meditation this morning

let go of what i could
some still stayed put

maybe next time
(or the next or ...)

📅

now
when i cook
i always count (iterate) from 0
when adding ingredients

"2 cups of rice" == cupsOfRice[1]

i blame capitalism

"... an incalculable to the fourth power is measureless; a measureless to the fourth power is boundless; a boundless to the fourth power is incomparable; an incomparable to the fourth power is uncountable; an uncountable to the fourth power is unequaled; an unequaled to the fourth power is inconceivable; an inconceivable to the fourth power is immeasurable; an immeasurable to the fourth power is unspeakable; an unspeakable to the fourth power is unspeakably unspeakable; and unspeakably unspeakable squared is untold."
-avatamsaka sutra, "entry into the realm of reality," trans t.cleary

(i've had performance evaluations like this ...)
🤡

taking high blood pressure meds
with wild turkey

medicine
with medicine

pelosi is an assassin
(too bad for tRump that he is her target)

🗡

the best (paid) writers
are the ones
with quickest manipulations-
keeping you reading

👥

i'm in kind of a rut
using favorite on anything
grabbing (even tiniest bit of)
my attention

it's nice to favorite something
even if i have extremely superficial criteria for this designation

(any communication between humand only approximate anyway)

🤹🏻

last time i saw him years and years ago
he was high at christmas-
didn't stay long
rumors were he ripped off his father and then left town

families ...

someone's gone
so it goes
those thats left
just carry on

♻️

(younger) cousin of mine
found dead in LA drug house

he was in and out of prison
homeless often

smh
(just reminds me: each day a gift)

⚱️

bouncing between
ursula k. leguinn's
_always_coming_home_
(imagined anthropology on utopian wilderness communities in far future)
and
_avatamsaka_sutra_
(huge collection of ancient buddhist texts pushing beyond rational mind (impossible for me to summarize accurately))
seemingly releases me
from constraints and norms
of thinking in my own time

confusing-
sure, and yet
i learn

gains by detaching

time
people
writing

all changing relentlessly
wave after wave

MAGA

make america great again
make america greet again
make america fleet again
make america flee again
make america free again
make america me again

make america again
make america

america

i wonder why ...
🏴

in meditation this morning
i struggled to let go
of conflicts at work ...

---

mental work
v
money work

---

worked working work
(now) then rest

😪

each word
each act

each instant

precious
beyond measure

🎡

o great, just what we *don't* want-
another fucking entitled billionaire running for president

💰💰💰🇺🇸

first thought
best thought

thought last

found old resume (finally) in mail archive from 2006

🎉

ok- now i'm going for the wild turkey
🥃

due to unforseen circumstances (and bad omens)
i am entering the job market (once) again

now remembering what a joy it is to edit a resume
(certain to only increase my bitterness at late capitalism)
