to understand
benefits of detachment

a child playing
in a tournament
sobs
while having a bad game
(feeling the wrongness of it all)

i know no place is perfect
but watching NZ
respond to the attack on their muslim population
(a tiny percentage of the overall number)
brings joy

* ardern wears hijab
* automatic weapons ban
* human wall around mosque
* arabic ("sala(a)m") on front page of christchurch newspaper

there must be parts of the world where humanity strives to nurture itself (as opposed to 'murica where the society is set up to support rich white men at the expense of everytone else)

surveillance capitalism:
you are forced
to sign an NDA
before playing a few tunes
at a corporate "talent" show

🤦‍♂️

now a singing trio with the lead in another vibrational frequency from the other two singers + uke

😖

at a sucessful tech business
for talent show

free beer and pizza
(a bit different than the university)

talent so far mostly single white guys with looping rigs ...
😴

just discovered mdou #moctar
(prolly not reciprocal)

traditional music in modern garb (again)

​🏜️​🎸​

made law: weapons ban
😇

i can't decide if it's better to ignore it
and do other things i'm more interested in

or if i should continue to absorb it
thinking it's better to know
(even if you only know you're falling
toward an unhappy landing)

"In her endless barrage of tweets, Devin Nunes' Mom maliciously attacked every aspect of Nunes' character, honesty, integrity, ethics and fitness to perform his duties as a US Congressman"

from an actual lawsuit text filed by a sitting US congressman
🤪

birdsite sucks completely

but i'm glad it exists
to allow accounts for
Devin Nunes’ Mom and Devin Nunes’ cow

(both named in actual real lawsuit filed by CA repubican)

i know it's idiotic
but it makes me so happy
to see lineageOS
booting on my pixel
(after months of running stock android 🕵🏼​)

a lot of words left to consider

i still benefit
(even during extensive formulaic passages)

magnificent photo of ardern hugging hijab clad woman on guardian web

looks can be deceiving, but photo brims with compassion

(compare tRump 🤦‍♂️)

🇳🇿💚

seeing lineage startup screen
(after momentary google boot splash)

happiness!
🕺🏼​📱​

vow now-
token broken
(try, cry)

even at a vigil for NZ muslim shooting victims

(esp white folks (surprise!))
