Q: what is stochastic terrorism? A: Stochastic terrorism describes how public figures use mass media to demonize groups or people, inciting random, unpredictable acts of ideologically-driven violence from susceptible individuals (ex. Brian Cole), while the instigator maintains plausible deniability

Thank you for sharing his work! Rick Bartow (1946–2016) was a celebrated Native American (Wiyot) artist known for his acrylic paintings on canvas featuring crows, ravens, and transformative animal-human forms — themes rooted in personal myth, Indigenous storytelling, & psychological exploration 1/2

“This exhibition is nothing more than a cynical attempt to fabricate controversy to benefit the bank accounts of both the players and all other entities involved…Sabalenka and Kyrgios are both represented by the same agency, Evolve, and they all stand to gain handsomely.”

i love that my prof describes jung as a spiritualist and esotericist first and foremost, and not a psychologist, jung had a lot of trouble w that title, psychologist

[W]hat Jung is advocating is human beings to grow up, take responsibility and not just put it off conveniently onto somebody else who will forgive them for their sins and so they can remain defensive and unconscious for the rest of their lives.~Murray Stein

Pluto isn’t what modern astrologers say it is. I’m not entirely sure what it is. But it is certainly a battery. Everything it touches it empowers, for good and bad, and as permanently as anything can be in this world.

The Goddess of Love isn't interested in superficialities, she wants the real deal. ♑Venus in mutual reception by exaltation with Saturn, adding a more gentle, appreciative note to this process of letting go, with Saturn and Neptune soon leaving ♓. What stands the test of time? What is worth keeping?

All I want for the holidays is for our own government to stop hurting people.

People say AI is a magic shortcut to creativity & success. I’ll tell you the real secret and it’s voraciously reading, being interested in everything, being diligent in the pursuit of learning, paying attention to the interior lives of others & keeping a heart open to the world.

Venus Williams and Andrea Preti just got married! Beautiful day for tennis royalty Wishing them a lifetime of happiness ❤

Dating is a great way to realize that dying alone isn't the worst that could happen.

As we get close to the end of the year I thought I'd repost some of my favorites. These aren't in any particular order, but how could I not start with my absolute favorite of the Kingbird riding on the osprey while carrying a fish? #photography #birds

Each day from now on: a little more light.

We need a Generative AI Code of Conduct at the University level because it's becoming increasingly clear that my colleagues (other professors and ESPECIALLY admin) are using AI way more than my students are.

AI Slop: The proliferation of references to fake articles threatens to undermine the legitimacy of institutional research across the board www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

Solstice on a Spinning Earth apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap25122... Can you tell that today is a solstice by the tilt of the Earth? Yes. At a solstice, the Earth's terminator -- the dividing line between night and day -- is tilted the most.

A blessed winter solstice to you all!! This season of cold rest will continue, but as the light returns, may we all prepare ourselves for quiet growth and gentle steps out from under the snow.

Really interesting research showing that while ultra-specialization in a single discipline might lead to better results early in one’s career, multi-discipline training and practice pays off big time in the long run. This applies to a range of professions from scientists to athletes and more

The Lots compliment the natal chart and add another layer. For example, for insight about romantic partnership look at 7h ruler. As well as the Lot of Union, its ruler and the houses that correspond to it

Finally reading this book for the first time after my Metamour gifted it to me a few years back! 😀🤎

With this particular New Moon so close to the equinox, it really feels like a special time to journey, to connect to spirit animals and guides

I know disciplinary standards differ, but I've been at this for decades and I've never cited a paper I didn't read. Didn't like, sure; didn't understand, often; kind of drifted off in the middle there, it happens. But didn't read at all? Nah. Come on.

Happy ♐️ New Moon 🌑🌚 (EST) 8:43 PM 🎉 28°24′ Sagittarius this is the final New Moon of 2025✨ #intentions #ten #disks

12/19💫 Sagittarius New Moon | 28° ♐✨ Today’s New Moon invites a powerful reset around beliefs, truth & future direction. At 28° Sagittarius, this lunation asks for maturity & honesty about where you’re headed & why. #Astrology #Astrosky

this is the unspoken but absolutely clear argument at hand.

The New Moon occurs at 28°25 Sagittarius, just over a degree from the Galactic Center. This lunation may inspire deep contemplations around *meaning* of existence/life or luminous, inspirational spiritual yearning.

♐️ moon ☌ mercury rn!

having #LongCovid means telling people “I’m not feeling well” like every other day. I’ve just stopped saying it. I can’t figure out what else to say.

FYI to all Zoom-using baddies, they’re trying to shove AI down our throats again (these setting were already auto-enabled before btw ppl just turned it all off) opt-out of this before Jan 19th and triple check bc it didn’t register right away for me when I did it 🫠

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD!!!! One last dance?? Tell me we’ve got Williams Sisters doubles action I have dreamed of this. Literally.

Sun square Saturn, always a hard time.

The best constructive criticism points out choices you’ve made and asks if they hit the way you intended.

Sun square Saturn can be experienced as restriction. It's a test of our resolve and commitment, a correction, a crisis reminding us how this process of maturation requires discipline, maybe even sacrifice, and being true to ourselves can be demanding. In mutual signs, adaptivity is required, too.

Nothing better than finding an amazing book in your own collection. When I did my deep dive on Richard Geis (aka Peggy Swenson) a few months ago, I forgot I owned this. College lesbian corruption is one of my favorite subgenres of queer pulp.

We must raise our voices for them. I’ll continue to try and follow Rob’s example as an artist and a humanitarian. I hope you do too. I don’t know what else to do other than try to cherish every moment we are alive, to be of service to every aspect of our existence and to never give up.

Remember: Planetary hours are calculated based on the time the Sun rises and sets in a given location. That means planetary hours are relative, not universal. It can be Jupiter Hour in one location and Saturn Hour in another!

I feel like I've lived multiple lives in this one year
