"A community practicing understanding and lovingkindness may be the most important thing we can do for the survival of the Earth." — Thich Nhat Hanh #mindfulness #wellness #stressrelief

BINGO. 🎯 No professional respect. They should be demanding that he apologize before they take any more dictation from him. Who CARES if their bosses wouldn't like that they lose access to Air Force 1.

“We have freedom of religion; however, your religion cannot become a threat to our freedom,” #Texas Governor Abbott. Hey Gov Abbott, can we quote you on that when it comes to restrictions on abortion, reproductive rights in general, #LGBQT+ and Trans rights?

QR codes are a pervasive form of ageism. If you send something in the mail to an elder and the flier only has a QR code, it's likely you have excluded that person. Not everyone has a smartphone and/or knows how to use a QR code. Rant over.

"there is much room for using it as a vehicle for unjust outcomes and we all must be on guard for that" is the understatement of the year

She's right. I wish it wasn't true but it's better to face the harsh truth rather than trying to pretend. And white folks and men: do your work and look at your places of unconscious bias. We all have 'em. You're not bad people but you have fricking work to do.

Last night I had the privilege of seeing "Come See Me in the Good Light," in #SantaFe, a film about @andreagibson.bsky.social and Megan Falley's journey with Andrea's cancer. Such a beautiful and life affirming film, tears and laughter flowed! Don’t miss it.

Yo, @support.bsky.team, bring back @sarahkendzior.bsky.social.

If Sarah Kendzior is indeed blocked on @bsky.app, this is a completely unjustified and highly questionable move. Sarah Kendzior is among the best voices of knowledge-based critical journalism in the US. See to it that this is corrected immediately and with an apology, @pfrazee.com!

A stat we don't talk about enough: Newspapers have lost 77% of their jobs over the last 20 year, more than any of the 532 other industries tracked by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Zohran is stone cold man. Putting out an ad in Arabic after all the Islamophobic shit that’s been thrown his way? Pure swag. Dems don’t need to copy his politics or even necessarily his campaign strategy, they need to learn how to grow a fucking spine.

Just a reminder: millions of people who live in “red” states didn’t vote for any of this shit.

Hmmmm. I was blocked by three people today. Por que?

I talked to @biidaasamose.bsky.social about what it takes to stay human and protect each other in fascistic times, and how we can build networks of care, defend our neighbors, grieve, and make space for joy. This episode includes some Nishnaabe wisdom and music from Leanne. Transcript + audio:

"About two dozen #Buddhist monks from the Huong Dao Vipassana Bhavana Center in Fort Worth, #Texas, are undertaking a 3,700-kilometer pilgrimage across the United States, walking for 110 days to promote peace and mindfulness." www.buddhistdoor.net/news/buddhis...

This is a drop in the bucket, but it's still a good idea with #SNAP benefits not coming through for so many starting Nov 1. Tuck something extra into those #Halloween treat bags.

I've got a new article up on @buddhistdoor.bsky.social -- the story of #Buddhist engagement to protect #OakFlat, sacred land for the San Carlos Apache in #Arizona #sociallyengagedbuddhism #plumvillage #ThichNhatHanh www.buddhistdoor.net/features/bud...

One of the best aspects of #Buddhism in #America, imho, is its openness to building connections across whatever divides are out there--suffering anywhere is suffering we vow to overcome. Thanks @maiaduerr.bsky.social for this piece at @buddhistdoor.bsky.social www.buddhistdoor.net/features/bud...

Santa Fe's No Kings protest this Saturday will start at Federal Plaza @ 10 am and end up at the Roundhouse with a community block party featuring local groups, art, music, and calls to action from 11 am–2 pm See you there! Reports @santafereporter.bsky.social

Mr. Trump can say whatever he wants about Columbus Day/ Indigenous Peoples Day. I don't recognize him as the president either.

Happy #IndigenousPeoplesDay! This is a good day to support Indigenous organizations that work hard every day to protect land and waters, to remedy longstanding inequities, and to decolonize. Please consider donating to Native-led nonprofits today. Donate to TWU --> bit.ly/TWU-give

A beautifully brutally honest post about what it's like to be on the frontlines of #Chicago right now, by a seasoned and skillful organizer.

This past week, for 3 days and nights people gathered at the Shrine of our Lady of Guadalupe in #SantaFe to read names of more than 65,000 Palestinians in #Gaza killed as well as the 800 civilians (Israeli + other nationalities) killed on Oct 7, 2023. Unfathomable. This must stop. #NewMexico

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

How can we work with questions as a practice? How do we ask the kinds of questions that have the potential to liberate our lives? Enjoy the exploration and discover a question that will open up your possibilities… #Buddhism #meditation #questions maiaduerr.substack.com/p/the-art-of...

I feel like last year's MLB playoffs happened just a few weeks ago. What a weird year this has been.

I agree with @stevenbeschloss.bsky.social, our government has become a place where there is no regard for human rights let alone human dignity. The question posed in this article is “What kind of monsters grab children & take them outside without clothes?“ & then respond with “Fuck them kids.”?

Starbucks had the largest pay ratio gap in the S&P 500 at 6,666 to 1 last year. CEO Brian Niccol reportedly pocketed $95.8 million while the average worker earned $14,674, the 8th-lowest median pay of any S&P 500 firm, according to @ips-dc.org report. ips-dc.org/report-execu...

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

I hope this guy is racking up charges at the Hague. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/03/u...

Two stories I hope to read soon: how Hegseth's agenda weakens the military and how people in the military are responding to that agenda.

The US military is only 50% white (and it's 15% female) so Hegseth launched an attack on the majority of troops.

Just dropped a new Postcard from #NewMexico -- where to find the greatest donuts in #SantaFe postcardsfromnewmexico.substack.com/p/donuts-de-...

Sept 26 is the International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons. @nucleartruthprj.bsky.social asked Elder Kathy Sanchez what this means to her: "In my heart, truly it means all life on our Earth Mother will be happy, healthy, and loving." #nuclearabolition #Pueblo #solidarity

Buddhist rapture is a lot more boring. You just hang out on the Earth, breathing and trying to be a decent person until you die.

Charlie Kirk is the patron saint of whiteness.

Ahhhh, quoting Andor. Good choice.

There is something really wrong with this dude. It becomes even more apparent when they let him speak for more than a few seconds. Someone needs to 5150 him.
