One truly mind-blowing thing about the ICE invading cities is how •little• actual violence there’s been against ICE agents. Observing, filming, making noise, warning neighbors? Yes. Violence, physical assault? Hardly any. At the level of people throwing snowballs.
Imagine, just imagine, the kind of principled self-restraint it takes for basically the entire population to respond to all this ongoing terrorizing and kidnapping following the constitutional principles that these agents themselves are flouting.
Cities? Cities are bastions of peace if you ask me.

Doing further research into the origins of the Abrahamic religions following my essay on The Claimants to the Tortured Land, I learn that by a supreme irony, #Israel itself is named after...
Drumroll....
A CANAANITE DEITY.
Yes, that's right. The name 'Israel' honours not יהוה‎, but El.

El (deity) - Wikipedia

Claude Haiku 4.5 describes the image as: "# Scene Description This image captures two women in what appears to be a science fiction setting, likely from a television production. The scene is set against a dark background with subtle lighting effects, creating an atmospheric, futuristic ambiance. The woman on the left wears a flowing white garment with draped sleeves, her dark hair styled in a 1970s-inspired cut. She gazes to the side with a composed expression. The woman on the right is dres…

While I'm settling now at home and think about having a walk in the dark to prevent just falling asleep right now - I enjoy the memories from a recent hike.
As you can see at the frosty cross, it was a bit chill. -- Actually .. I'm quite undecicive whether I like summer or winter more? Summer is green and all, but in winter I like the chill and the cold ...
Maybe I don't have to prefer a season? Yes, I guess I just call myself lucky that I can enjoy every season.

A serene and contemplative winter scene unfolds atop a snow-covered mountain peak. The peak, blanketed in a thick layer of pristine white snow, rises gently against a backdrop of evergreen trees, their branches heavy with fresh snowfall. The trees create a natural frame, adding depth and a sense of solitude to the scene. At the summit, a large metal cross stands prominently, its surface lightly dusted with snow. The cross, a symbol of reflection and tranquility, adds a sense of reverence and q…

They have a great “big” point here about incrementalism but also: fiber, water, and even minimal activity specifically are great first steps towards feeling better.
I suspect that a lot of us 1st-worlders feel lousy in part because we’re each paving our own way to T2D, colon cancer, and heart disease. @…

"Something is better than nothing." This phrase has honestly helped me so much. Truthfully, I've never been a thin person, my body type could be described as Dumpling. Through a whole lot of working on myself, I'm mostly okay with that. I respect the limitations my body has and metabolism I was born with. But after my Mom passed I was definitely doing some cope eating and drinking. My clothes started getting tight, and I was just generally feeling gross, so I knew I needed to do something. In…

I don't think I'm ever going to enjoy gifts.
I can get why people would give them to children. After all, children don't have their own budget. However, I'm talking about occasional gifts, not a new toy every second week, because "we must outcompete the other grandparents". But to adults?
Once I've heard that you should gift people with what they won't buy themselves. Well, that's won't work for me. I'm a minimalist. If I don't need something, I don't want to have it. Unnecessary junk is only emotional burden to me.
I can get why you'd enjoy something handmade. But something people bought? If I need something, I can buy it myself, when I need it. And I definitely don't need people to prove to me that they never cared to learn who I am, and just buy whatever they like or whatever is "fashionable"; which usually means exactly the opposite of what I'd prefer (i.e. something minimalistic). Or even worse, I don't need people manipulating me through gifts.
Sweets? Besides my diabetes, I don't really enjoy expensive shit that people generally buy because it's what's advertised. For the money they waste on it, I'd buy three times as much sweets I'd actually enjoy.
Gift cards? Oh yes, "you aren't supposed to give money, so let's just give the equivalent of money that's actually worth less than money". Actual money? And here we reach the true nonsense; we exchange the same amount of money, so it's just pointless gesture. Unless one of us gives less money…
What I'd really like, as a gift? Maybe that people would finally bother accepting me as who I am. The absolute minimum of caring that I hate consumerism, and not fueling it "for me".

Claude Sonnet 3.7 describes the image as: "The image shows a person with short dark hair wearing an elegant white draped outfit or gown. They are adorned with an elaborate, statement necklace that appears to be made of clear or crystalline material. The setting looks like a stylized studio or film set with a textured geometric white background and some sparkling elements or lights visible. The costume has a classical or futuristic quality to it, with flowing fabric that drapes from the should…
