@backsasscryer @amandafortini I really dig the way you SEE, you child of God.
English

Hehehe.
For me Ms. Williams the "who are you people ?" is my catch phrase expression for a constellation of people Ms. Fortini knows who each seem to have more than one high level talent.
And who seem to be able to kind of casually, offhandedly produce an extreme high quality item in one of their talents as a bit of a lark.
So the world may not see that happening, but I do.
You for example area a professional writer.
But you snap pictures like Truth Or Consequences or your Portrait of Amanda Fortini in the moment which are among the best photographs and I go 😯 and I get to say "who are you people ?" which is fun for me! 😊
(Your portrait of Amanda Fortini remains the best portrait of anyone I can think of. I've distilled it down and I think the reason most people don't see that is because... it doesn't look fake!!
Which is funny to me but I think it's true.😁
Look at a few portraits and see what I mean.)
So in this instance, you wrote a poem more or less on accident while you were falling asleep.
Ok, that happens to artists. Beatles had stuff like that happen sometimes.
But see, by and large I don't "get" poetry Ms. Williams.
You wrote a highly abstract poem, while falling asleep, that *I* understand!!
That's why I said "who are you people?" 😊
As for who you are, I can tell you this much about you and maybe not a ton more. You are a "somebody" Ms. Williams.
You are a very distinct "you".
For me, I guess it could be said I didn't know who I was until I hit my 60s. I'm still learning but it has solidified more now.
For me the cornerstone of it if I had to give an answer; I would say I am the son of my parents, the grandson of my grandparents, the great grandson of those who came here to the USA, brother to my siblings, friend of those who love me and who I love, and the product of everyone who ever helped me so I wasn't destroyed by the world, and child of God.
That's who I am.
My prediction Ms. Williams is that as you find out more and more about who you are, you are going to like it.

@newstart_2024 Michael Pollan is a pollution of all things good. He takes really basic bitch ideas and spins them with his bald head like it’s some new discovery, thus aiding the demise of the folk wisdom demographic i.e the people, by a thousand tiny cuts.

@cowgrlredisback @naomirwolf Something definitely shifted after that eclipse a few years ago. It’s all I could think about and I didn’t even buy into truth about geoengineering at that point. But I was a tourist driving to OK to watch it and came away with this was a weather modification maxing trial run

@naomirwolf It happened after that eclipse season I think it was 2-3 yrs ago... It was a switch... seriously. It's not just the chem trails. Skin does not react the same to it... I no longer crave sun like I did my whole life. It doesn't give uvb feels like to produce vit D

The sun HAS changed. But I don't know why. Meteorologists? What are the natural reasons a warm healing golden sun could turn blue-white?

Michael Pollan quit caffeine for 3 months… and realized his “normal” self was just caffeinated.
First week: “Felt like I contracted ADD. Couldn’t concentrate, couldn’t write, veil between me and reality.”
Month 1: Functional but miserable.
Month 3: “Slept like a teenager… but I was still a mess.”
First cup back:
“Waves of well-being → euphoria → like cocaine for 20 minutes.”
Then: irritability, compulsive cleaning, unsubscribing from 100 listservs, reorganizing sweaters, plotting the next dose.
Classic addict behavior — even he admits it.
Chronic caffeine lowers adenosine sensitivity (your brain’s sleep-pressure signal). Withdrawal = fog/ADD-like symptoms. Re-dose = euphoric adenosine clearance after 24+ hours of buildup. Baseline becomes caffeinated baseline.
Pollan’s takeaway: “Yourself is caffeinated… and that is baseline for many of us.”
Ever quit caffeine cold turkey?
What hit you hardest — the brain fog, the irritability, the insane euphoria on return, or something else?

@Rightanglenews Yeah American NGO’s have been doing a rap hip hop music op in Cuba for years now and there’s always casualties.

@backsasscryer @amandafortini I’m wondering who I am prob even more than you are!
English

@amandafortini @bettwilliams It is lovely Ms. Williams!
And it makes no sense, and yet I understand it.
And I find myself wondering again, who are you people?😁
English

@themopinomicon Oh no. Try looking at the sky at first light every morning and don’t look at the screens til the sun crests and shines. Beating an addiction works best when you take on a pro active life building thing. Seriously this works. It’s the secret. You will feel us there.

🚨 Professor Jiang tells Tucker Carlson Trump may institute the draft which will lead to civil conflict within America
“There's a strong possibility that Donald Trump will call a national draft in order to
ensure the manpower to fight this war/
Then you will have rioting in the streets, you will have massive violence in which case the national guard is deployed.
There's a plan to deploy the national guard to all major American cities by April and so unfortunately America is probably going to suffer many years of sectarian violence but not a full-fledged civil war.”
