Sometimes I get really escalated about something and then I take a deep breath and remember I am not central, not even to my own physical existence, and that I am but a moment, a being, a thread in the Great Web, and I feel bliss.

Who would you be without category? Who are you in relation to all of the things you can name your relation to?
Continuing to appreciate #TheDailyStoic as a desk reader. I'm leaving yesterday's page here for your consideration accordingly.
The older I get, the now I appreciate that being #kind is one of the most impactful ways to make the world a better place. Our choices define who we are as people. Choice is one of the few things that is always under our control. Cheers friends.

Stirner, two ways:
I am not nothing in the sense of emptiness, but am the creative nothing, the nothing out of which I myself create everything as creator. (trans. Wolfi Landstreicher, 2017)
I am not nothing in the sense of emptiness, but am rather the creative nothingness, the nothingness on which I draw as the creator of all things. (trans. Malcolm Green, 1989).
Nothing I quite need to remind myself of, other than this quote after a rough entry into a week.

As a struggling writer trying to get out of the #Devops , because at 53, it is pretty well grinding me.
I ask those to consider my #OC. A morning #news digest, and the deconstruction work I do, along with #queer fiction. And then a whole bevy of #druid stuff (#meditations , #herbal guides.).
I offer #KoFi , #Liberapay , and normal publication subs. All Paid subs get #signal & #discord and can be a space story character if you want.
Sharing a bit of perspective, fitting for these (and all) times. From “Meditations” by Marcus Aurelius:
“Look back, and consider both how quickly all things that are, are forgotten, and what an immense chaos of eternity was before, and will follow after all things.”
