This is the #primaryschool I attended as a #child... any wonder I still, even as a #teacher and professional #educator, I still feel a deep #suspicion, #objection, #resentment, and extreme #aversion regarding #school? I feel triggered every time I walk by, and notice, that not much has changed since I attended, around four decades ago. Sadly, this is not uniquely a German issue. Though, the primary schools I passed in #Barcelona were by far the most inviting.

One of the things that #trolls coming in on #MissKitty don't seem to understand is that she has such a #needle #aversion that she ends up with #PMS for extended periods. And the shot didn't seem to take today. Or maybe I just have a societally induced case. 🤯🤯🤯

#Awareness opens the door to seeing reality as it truly is, #impermanent, interconnected, & empty of inherent ‘self.’ It allows us to engage with the world with a #mind that is #free from delusion, #attachment, & #aversion.

Americans "love" #science so much they let others lead the race. 🏃‍♂️💨 Meanwhile, some folks ponder why other countries are sprinting ahead — perhaps it's the #aversion to basic math? 🤔🔢

Americans Overwhelmingly Support Science, but Some Think the U.S. Is Lagging Behind: Pew

A new report finds that a majority of Americans think the U.S. should be a world leader in science, but Democrats increasingly believe other countries are catching up

As long as wealth remains attached to domination of land & people, destruction will continue. Releasing #greed is not renunciation of life, but alignment with it. The future depends on whether clarity replaces #attachment, care replaces #aversion, & understanding replaces #delusion. (2/2)

#Hatred or #aversion completes the cycle. While #greed accumulates, #aversion rejects responsibility. Communities resisting mines or pipelines are dismissed. #Environmental defenders are criminalised or killed. The poor are blamed for overpopulation while the rich consume vastly more per person.
