Pen and paper enthusiasts from across Canada flock to Montreal convention
In a digitally dominant world, there's something cathartic about putting pen to paper. That's what some of the participants at a stationery and handwriting convention in downtown Montreal say about finding balance in a fast-paced world.

Duality…

Yin-Yang and stuff Oh boy, Ill keep it simple. 1 and 0 Black and white yellow and not yellow What are these? They are implications... They are literally how things sorta work. At least that is what that Masons say... "1 implies not" Have you ever heard that quote. The idea that 1 can only exist because of the concept of 0. I guess you could replace the 1 or the 0 with other numbers but the principle is the same. You cant have anything, without implying you can also not have that same […]

Jeg sidder på terassen med en iskold rom/cola i hånden og fakturerer som en chef. Teenagerne er blevet store nok til selv at gå i køleskabet og hundhvalpen kan selv finde ud af at tisse på græsplænen. Ingen vil have noget. Ingen råber. Ingen larmer.

Lige nu, i dette sekund, er tingene i #balance.

#Stilhed før stormen, tilsyneladende.

#TCM: #Pillen als #Politikum
Chinas systematischer Ausbau der TCM als #Gefahr für den #Artenschutz

Wer #Traditionelle #ChinesischeMedizin (TCM) hört, denkt zunächst wohl v.a. an #Akupunktur und #Heilkräuter. Doch was #ArtenschützerInnen seit Jahren auf die #Barrikaden bringt, ist die #Verwendung von #Wildtieren – und das nicht nur in der TCM selbst, sondern auch in den begleitenden #Ernährungsempfehlungen zur #Balance von #YinundYang, wie ein aktueller Artikel von #ProWildlife in der #Fachzeitschrift #ChinesischeMedizin zeigt.

TCM: Pillen als Politikum • Pro Wildlife

Die chinesische Regierung treibt den Ausbau der TCM voran. Dies gefährdet immer neue Arten, vom Gecko über Seepferdchen bis zum Schuppentier.

It took three years to get a diagnosis of Menieres--2017 to 2020

It's been 5 years since I had caffinated coffee.
It's been 7 years since I shook a salt shaker.
It's been one day since I stopped decaf coffee.

I began having severe vertigo last week. 3 very strong episodes, what I scale as 8 out of 10, 10 being a drop attack. Yes, that's just what it sounds like--no warning, no spinning or tilting--just down.

2 of them happened while I was driving. It really SUCKS and is very scary because even trying to get to the side of the road seems impossible when everything is sliding and tilting and moving up and down.
One other was milder.

This week one severe (again while driving!) and three small episodes.

I had been free of it for
nearly two full years, after an injection into my right ear drum.

I'm not fucking around with it. I called my doctor and am scheduling a second injection---the risk is deafness on that ear, whech already can't hear. Th eprevious injection caused no drum tissue damage, so it's worth it for me.

End of my pissing and moaning. I am very grateful for medicare and secondary insurance.

Oh, YES, the AI revolution is here! 🎉 We're all going to be super-productive, super-efficient, and have SO much free time... except, somehow, we're still stuck begging for a day off like it's 1999. 🕺💼 Maybe AI can also automate the process of getting our bosses to understand that "more productive" doesn't mean "more work"? 🙄🤖

Can we have the day off?

So, apparently we are at the cusp of the entire world’s white collar workforce (and, by extension, much of the US workforce) undergoing a revolution in productivity. AI is the technology that is going to revolutionize the way we work, the way we interact with the world, the way we learn, the way we socialize, and all of this. This sounds great. Really, it does. Everything getting faster and easier would be an extraordinary boon to all of our lives.
