As I edit my writing, I've found it useful to have different layouts to catch mistakes. Earlier this year I moved to Obsidian for my a writing platform since I can tweak it with Claude or Codex. Here's an example of such a layout I created. It's in HTML, so I can't edit it (... for now).

I remember watching the 2022 documentary
"Aşk, Mark ve Ölüm"
(Love, Deutschmarks and Death) by Cem Kaya
with awe and shame at how much I had not known.
The film looks at the difficult lives of Turkish workers in Germany through the music they produced.
One widely popular song, sung by Yüksel Özkasap, included the lines:
“Germany, everything about you is a lie. You have stolen my life and taken my love.”
The language textbook

Now, I don't especially like the term "church" so I may use something else... like "coven." You can do what you want. But I happen to have already mapped out an example. (It is exactly that, just an example, so take if it's useful, change if you need, and don't stick to anything too closely.) Oh, this mapping also means that you would, for religious reasons, only be allowed to work under capitalism 4 days a week instead of 5.
Given the increases in productivity over the last 100 years, a 4 day work week is a completely reasonable expectation. If we have to annex Monday for the weekend by force of religion, so be it. It is rightfully ours anyway. If enough people try it, this will probably work. If it doesn't work, it just needs more people.
The Practice of Worship:
It is recommended to break down worship in to three sections: the functional, the communal, and the spiritual. It is also recommended to break these across multiple days. A common structure for some Christian churches is to take 10-15 minutes for announcements (Functional), an hour or two for services (Spiritual), followed by (Communal) coffee, tea, and cookies for an unspecified time up to two hours after. When starting or working with limited time a single compressed model like this may work, but it's not optimal.
- The Functional
The purpose of this section is to address the functional needs of the coven. Block out time (less than 90 minute blocks is recommended) to go through reports and updates from those involved in the Dispensary, Library, Works Committee (infrastructure), and Services Committee (providing services internally and, potentially, externally). Talk through any additional announcements, including those from other covens you may be federated with.
It is helpful to include unstructured communal time, such as shared meals, during or after functional meetings. As the federation grows, more time will be needed. It is recommended to break functional meetings, work parties, and such across multiple days. When a federation becomes sufficiently large, it is recommended to take every Monday, on top of Saturday and Sunday, as a third day of community and worship.
The scope of the functional spans 3 realms (which may be more-or-less fluid): the personal or family, the coven and federation, and humanity itself. It is up to each coven and individual to negotiate how to allocate the three days of the weekend once we have liberated Monday from the work week, but it is important to reserve it for one of these three. However, some people must work on weekends. Medical personnel, for example, cannot conform to a standard work week. While the work week should be universally restricted, which specific days are used will be up to the specific coven and their members.
A functional meeting can start with an agenda like the following:
Functional Invocation
Announcements
Report Backs
Dispensary
Inventory Check
What is low
What is empty
What is expiring
What is needed
Funds status
Library
Inventory Check and Items needing return
Library acquisition requests
Funds status and budget check
Works Committee
Upcoming projects
Subcommittee updates (Following the Works Committee agenda)
New committee formations
Funds status
Services Committee
New capabilities announcements
New needs requests
Subcommittee updates (Following the Works Committee agenda)
New committee formations
Funds status
Task Check
Breaking the Circle
This agenda is a suggestion for those who don't know where to start. It can be adapted or ignored as appropriate.
- The Spiritual
Spirituality is necessarily an undefined space. It is deeply personal. Each individual taking time to share their own personal spiritual experiences can help each connect with each other. This experience of connection can itself be a spiritual experience. It may also be useful to read esoteric, mystical, or philosophical texts together as type of "book club" and share thoughts. Others may draw from their own knowledge or traditions. This is something that must be defined together within a group.
- The Communal
The communal aspect of the practice of worship bind the coven and federation together. Within the community we find joy and release, connection and comfort. The coven is where we turn in times of need, and where we share our hopes and dreams.

Yeesh. I tried to do an article merge on the Spanish #Wikipedia because it somehow ended up with duplicate articles on the same subject.
Obviously this is pretty hard to do because I barely understand #Spanish and I did the mistake of turning one page into a redirect which is apparently a no-no judg…

I set the alarm to 6am and we started at 7am. My wife cycled a small morning loop (like 45min) and I did a bit larger loop to test the 30 tooth Sprocket on longer climbs.

You're perfectly fine to call Big Corp AI techno-fascism as long as I can continue to create Sloppelgänger versions of myself from 1865. 🫠

'The interval between great-power wars in Europe from 1648 to 1945 averaged around forty years. That’s how long it takes for the generational memory of the last war to fade from the bodies of the people who vote in the next one. The post-1945 peace in Europe is the longest stretch in recorded history, which means we have a decade or two before the generation that could say "I remember" no longer exists in political life.
What happens then, is what always happens.'

The Loop: everything has happened before, and everything will happen again
We keep replaying the same human mistakes -bubbles, strongmen, scapegoats, and panics -because the operating system in our skulls hasn’t updated in ten thousand years.

A while back, I was mostly-lurking on a regional #Meshcore (like #Meshtastic , but different) discord, when someone on there tried to update a repeater and accidentally soft-bricked it. They needed to climb up to where it is to get a physical connection. But there's a raven nesting near where they've …

Abstract: Functional connectivity varies across individuals due to genetic and environmental factors, yet classical twin models typically confound non-shared environment with measurement error and are largely limited to resting-state analyses. We hypothesized that: i) explicitly modeling measurement error from repeated fMRI sessions enables more accurate application of classical twin models (ACE/ADE) to functional connectivity; ii) model applicability depends on scan-length and parcellation granularity; iii) genetic and environmental effects on functional connectomes show differentiated functional modules across conditions. We extended ACE/ADE models to include a repeated-scan derived error term by analyzing monozygotic and dizygotic twins from the Young-Adult Human Connectome Project dataset. Genetic and environment variance components were estimated for all functional couplings across resting-state and task conditions, integrated across conditions using a minimum-error criterion, and analyzed using multilayer community detection across resolution scales. Functional couplings segregated into distinct categories characterized by shared environmental, additive, dominant, or epistatic influences, with a substantial fraction not meeting twin-model assumptions. Integrating across conditions revealed hierarchical community structure in genetic and environmental components observed across community resolution scales. Incorporating measurement error into twin models improves interpretability and applicability at the functional connectome level, revealing that genetic and environmental influences are structured into coherent, multiscale brain networks.
