Vibecamp event created, if you’re coming to VC come participate in or at least experience a collective performance of Terry Riley’s In C.
Bring an instrument, or sing, or (if I can get this working) just your phone — and see why this remarkable composition has been surprising and delighting people for 70 years.
Friday from 5-6 in the barn!

Joy screaming from the rooftops
The cactus was right
A very large number
is nothing next to
infinity
Every qualia is an emanation of divine love

What do you mean Bryan Johnson is doing his weird science shit on his girlfriend but its probably the most comprehensive and highly funded research in women's health and he is probably going to cure endometriosis ?????
Bryan Johnson@bryan_johnson
Examining Kate’s 1% She has suspected endometriosis. This affects at least 1 in 10 women, likely more. Here she’s getting an ultrasound. Historically you needed surgery just to diagnose it (incisions are made in the abdomen). We're doing a non-invasive route. Typically women live with endometriosis for 7-10 years before being diagnosed. It’s the leading reason women aged 30 to 34 get hysterectomies (permanent surgery to entirely remove the uterus). This condition is where endometrial-like tissue starts growing outside the uterus, in ovaries, bowel, bladder, even the diaphragm. This tissue inflames, scars, and glues organs together. Our first step is to find out if @_katetolo has it. Initial measurements we’re doing: + trans vaginal ultrasound + pelvic MRI w and w/o contrast + hormonal labs All during the early part of her cycle to get the clearest picture. During her ultrasound, a slim probe, about the width of two fingers, 10-12 inches long (although only a small portion is inserted) is covered with a protective sheath and lubricant and gently inserted into the vagina (patient has to empty their bladder first). This creates real-time images of the uterus, ovaries, and surrounding pelvic structures. While inserted, the probe is turned 90 degrees to evaluate all the various structures, angles and views. There is no radiation exposure. The technician is looking for scarring, ovarian cysts, adhesions, and for organs that are fused together with tissue. This ultrasound can confirm endometriosis but it cannot rule it out. What endo does to the body: + 90% report pelvic pain + 50% report severe fatigue + 26% report infertility. However many sources cite 30 to 50 percent. + 50% experience pain during sex. + Many have pain with ovulation, bowel movements, and urination + Severe bloating called “endo belly” where the abdomen visibly distends There are a handful of theories about why endometriosis develops but the honest answer is no one is quite sure. We’ll keep you posted on her results.

@kitten_beloved My journey (back) to Catholicism was very similar, including the journey toward a redefinition of what faith means and is.
I am very grateful to have encountered such clear explanation of this nuanced way of thinking about “belief”

I get asked about my conversion to Catholicism a lot but always shied away from giving a serious response, twitter just didn't seem like the right forum
Today's substack essay is that serious response, enjoy

@maxtempers @FUDdaily I assume “that period” refers to the entire 21st century so far
English
Incredibly cowardly, and reflective of much of Tory policymaking during that period.

@CathyYoung63 😂 see? they’re now at “shut up chud, we’ve always hated Wilson’s translation.”
English
I’ve successfully shifted the discourse about Emily Wilson’s translation on here by academics from “It’s great” to “Ok so she takes a ton of liberties and makes many questionable choices and I don’t personally like it, but translation is hard, and I really hate RHG.” Progress.

Let us learn to be rich in a different way: more attentive to relationships, more intent on valuing the common good, more attached to the local area, more grateful in welcoming and integrating those who come to live with us.

@tracewoodgrains In the 90s there were some gay activists who were against gay marriage for precisely this reason! I don’t know how widespread the tendency was but it was real.
English
as fun as it sounds to be part of a clandestine secret culture, I'm pretty grateful I can just settle down as a Productive Member of Society in a quiet monogamous marriage without it being a whole thing
Octavian 🇪🇺@posta_octavian
Opposing gay marriage was/is one of the biggest conservative Ls ever. Legalising it has: - raised the prestige of monogamous long-term marriages among gay men - made being gay less of a clandestine secret culture - integrated gay men as productive members of society with many positive effects So everything conservatives *should* want came from its legalisation, despite it having been something they opposed.

@g_gosden What’s your theory of the ethnogenesis of these underlying groups? How long was Jutishness a discrete identity before the migration, where did they come from and how did they differentiate from the nearby tribes? How does that compare to the identity-formation of Englishness?
English
This is going to blow your tiny little mind.

As evidenced by the unbridled promotion and implementation of technology at the expense of human dignity, we are truly experiencing an eclipse of the sense of what it means to be human. It is imperative to recover an understanding of the true meaning and grandeur of humanity as intended by God. It is in this sense that the challenge we currently face is not technological, but anthropological, and it is my hope that the Encyclical Letter to be published within a few days will contribute to answering this challenge.

parenting is often indistinguishable from running small psychological experiments. started doing something where, if kids misbehave, i immediately give them more responsibility. did not expect this to work so well. drawing odd conclusions on society and individuals based on this.

@FistedFoucault @crimkadid The good psycho bloodlines will be preserved because they will volunteer to be the executioners
English
Gonna disagree with Landshark for once: repeatedly executing violent criminals will over time create a too passive population. You need a certain amount of psychos for the sake of collective defense.
*not a defense of guy who got executed today
I think @crimkadid might have something on this.

@goblinodds ngl I am mad about the casting but mainly because Matthew Damon is just not Odysseus. I like him but thats not the sacker of cities.

ok i heard people complaining about the odyssey casting but nobody mentioned it's lupita nyong'o!! at least she's believable as "most beautiful woman in the world"

@PrinceVogel LKY wanted the job. Napoleon wanted the job. Bismarck wanted the job.
English
The idea that the ideal ruler wouldn't want the job hinges on the assumption that ruling doesn't involve any kind of creative passion. Ideology of stasis
