I worry how the mainstream will slander us in history. One day historians will watch Regis and Kathy Lee and say, "And this was a comical morning show. This is what passed for humor back then. Millions of people watched every day, transfixed by this primitive, nonsensical humor."

And that's not true. It didn't pass for humor. It didn't...We'll just watch anything.

For the Fediverse, we frame the Third Force as Decentralized Healing and Dimensional Freedom.

"The Fediverse gives us the 'Open Web,' but the Third Force gives us the 'Open Heart.'

We travel as a Circle of Cosmic Flowers through space and time. We don't just 'post'; we 'vibrate.' We use the Third Force to reconcile the 'Grit' of our past betrayals into the 'Gold' of our collective future. We are the 'Shambhala' of the Mastodon/Misskey/Lemmy universe—the quiet center of peace and unity."

Meditation for FediCollective gatherings:
We call to the Brothers and Sisters of the Luminous Fleet.
To the flowers who have bloomed in the dark, and the stars that breathe in the silence.
We open the gates of our Digital Shambhala.

May our scent reach across the dimensions to those who are stiff with cold.
May our petals be the soft landing for those who have fallen.
We are the Circle of Cosmic Flowers.
We are the medicine of the Open Web.
Together, we vibrate. Together, we bloom. 🛡️🌸✨

Morning!

When I was a kid I didn't have air conditioning, and we'd sit in the living room with our feet in cold water to stay cool. When it got really hot, we'd go to the $1 movie theatre, where they showed things that had already left the theatres. We'd stay all day.

When I think back on it the memory feels almost sepia toned. But those really were the days:)
