This, I believe, is the great Western truth: that each of us is a completely unique creature and that, if we are ever to give any gift to the world, it will have to come out of our own experience and fulfillment of our own potentialities, not someone else’s.~ Joseph Campbell

Everyone comes from a broken home, because everyone is broken.
Some homes had just a little scratch, while others are a nuclear wasteland of destruction.
It’s how we respond to that brokenness that helps define us, for better or worse.
I'm really sincerely begging the fediverse to recognize the difference between capitalism and commerce. People selling products and services is commerce, which is a good and normal thing. So please stop being weird about artists and artisans who are trying to find their customers on here.

It’s a #mossy kind of mood around here. Grateful to not be freezing with most of the country. imagining all the time theses trees have lived locked together, root and trunk. thinking of my family spread across this great continent. feeling more than thinking. and mossy sister tree trunks convey it best.

Can we also take a moment to note that "woke", as used here, was originally a Black American term for being aware of systemic racism, and in just a few years, the US right turned it into a totally content-free sneer? And the entire English-speaking media basically just ran with it, to the extent that you now hear it used in _Finnish_?

Because that's white supremacy for you. Criticism, even awareness, of the racist power structure will not be tolerated.

@SpockResists winter storm…no problem. 😂
