Even though I'm stuck with throttled bandwidth until we get Internet connected at home, I log into Nostr daily. It's certainly a different experience. It feels like I'm looking through a small portal window, and putting my note into a pneumatic tube, knowing that I won't see replies or reactions until I can get back inside some day.
It takes several minutes to load my feed, and the same posts from six days ago load first. After several more minutes, I'll get yesterdays notes, but only with blurred images, and replies to the note (other than the replies by OP) are non-existent.
Sometimes my feed is missing people entirely, as I will see their posts the next day between posts that I've already read.
Sometimes waiting doesn't even give me anything. With no indicator, it's a guessing game as to when to make another attempt at loading my feed.

""The 1st day of the Cane Trecena is described as:
Long ago, when the Hero Twins were ready to begin their journey to the Underworld and challenge the Lords of Death in a game of handball, they planted a cornstalk in the middle of First Grandmother’s hearth. They said, “If it withers, you shall know we have failed. If it flourishes, you shall know we have conquered.”
This day sign is that cornstalk. The word “aj” denotes authority or mastery; it is that within us which triumphs over obstacles and which, like the corn returning in its seasonal round, is reborn again and again and again.
And it grows in the centre of the hearth. That is important. This day sign, above all others, symbolizes “hearth and home.” It also symbolizes all those who inhabit or participate in that space we call “home.”
This is a day to give thanks to all our family members. A day to give thanks for our physical home and for everything that constitutes a part of it. This is a day to give thanks for our pets, our critters, our housemates, our plants and our gardens – everything we call home.""

There are multiple correct answers for this.
When I've introduced people, I've encouraged/recommended mostly:
1. * Be aware of "set and setting". *
Be with friends (not required), in a familiar and safe environment. I like spontaneity, however, it's best to have certain factors "controlled" for your first experiences. For example, if there's someone that you don't trust, you won't want them around. For similar reasons, it's probably best to avoid the general public. Being in nature will always be better than a populated city/town. I can't stand cars in motion when I'm tripping. Trees are much more fun to deal with.
Have "implements of creativity" at the ready. Musical instruments, paints, paper, writing insteuments, etc.
TV/movies usually deadens my trips. I don't grok people that trip, then stare at any type of screen for more than a few minutes. Fractal making software blew my mind, so screens aren't something to avoid, but lean toward abstractness, compared to stories with a plot.
2. Set an intention!
This is important whether you're tripping for fun or therapy. Have a clear intention of what you want out of the experience, and state it out loud as you partake. This has tremendous power, so it might be good to define the day beforehand.
3. Enjoy, observe, and learn!

Union Strikes
My take on unions is that they should be temporary. Solve the problem, then dissolve the union (until next time). Otherwise, the union just becomes another centralized heirarchy of power that is hell-bent on exploiting everyone.
On the topic of strikes: I see them as fear based soft-terrorism. If someone disrespects you (deliberately doesn't deliver what was promised), LEAVE THEM FOREVER! Get them out of your reality.
But ... but ... but ... ... ... I don't care what someone's excuse is to strike, they are too afraid that they are incapable of anything other than sucking corporate cock. They are also afraid that God, ancestors, etc will not support their move to power and independence, so they submit to some asshole instead. It doesn't get much wimpier than that.
Can you imagine saying, "Hey disrespectful person, let me coherce you away from your own freedom so I that I can be a slave with more comfortable shackles!"?
JUST LEAVE. IT WILL TEACH THE GREEDY JERKS A LESSON! What will be corporate jerkwad's move? Hire unskilled labor? They will suffer while the skilled worker expands their horizons, and obtains a greater understanding of self worth.
Instead of begging, they could start walking with confidence of themselves, the divinity within, and the wisdom from beyond.

After moving boxes to our new address yesterday, my car decided to die. Our new residence is 2hrs from our old one. Got a tow, got a loaner vehicle from someone, made it back home by 9PM yesterday, instead of 3PM for a second trip of "plants, rocks, and books"...yes we're crazy, but our priorities are in order.
Anyway, today we frantically packed everything out of the RV (and cleaned tanks, disconnected services, etc) in preparation of the landlord's grand-daughter that is supposed to be bringing a truck with a fifth-wheel hitch.
I get a call from the landlord, "I just talked with [grand daughter], what's the story?" Well, the story was that she was supposed to be arriving any minute.
I guess she "didn't feel like it", so the landlord said he'd arrive with the truck tomorrow morning; the day of our deadline with the county.
Oh, by the way, this message is brought to you by FUCK THE STATE, Inc. Now back to our not-so-scheduled story.
I hear his wife yelling at him in the background, "No! We are getting them right now!" He protested that it was late, and he was tired, but I heard more yelling in the background, and he confirmed that he would arrive in three hours.
A few hours later, I get a voice message, "We're half way there, but found out the tags are expired and there's no insurance. I'm not going to jail again, so we're turning around!" I hear more yelling from his wife in the background, something about picking us up anyway. We have no clue what's going at this point. Then we confirmed that they are NOT coming, and are headed back.
Our home is empty, and no longer has plumbing to the outside world. Everything is sealed in boxes and packed in the loaner vehicle. Nothing else to do except make another trip of plants, rocks, but this time tools instead of books (aside from car fixing tools, which I should have had yesterday when my car died).
On the schedule: rent a car, print a trip permit, follow our home to its new place, get it level and chocked, return the loaner car, hook up sewage, electric, and water, prepare for car repairs after work so we can ditch the rental, sleep, work, buy parts and perform repair, while still moving more and more plants and rocks.
Being so fortunate isn't easy, but it's a blast!

Today starts 13 days of light in the Mayan calendar. There are 20 symbols, accompanied by 13 tones, and Light is the 20th symbol. Since Light is coinciding with the first tone, it sets the stage for the next thirteen days.
Below is a write-up from MyMayanSign.com by the founder Fatih Keçelioğlu, giving more detail.
"The Day of 1 Light on the Mayan Calendar marks the beginning of a new cycle. Starting September 29th, 2024, these next 13 days make up the “Trecena of Light.”
This period represents spiritual illumination and enlightenment. In Yucatec Maya, Ahau, also known as the Sun, is the 20th sign of the cycle—symbolizing the final stage of evolution and reaching life’s ultimate goal.
These 13 days offer a powerful opportunity to focus on your goals and dreams. Like a hunter, sharpen your focus on what you want to achieve. Remember, where attention goes, energy flows.
I encourage you to reflect on what truly matters to you. Writing down your goals or creating a vision board can help clarify your desires. If you’re unsure of your direction, journaling can reveal hidden aspirations and provide therapeutic benefits.
This is also a meaningful time to pray for light and clarity, both for yourself and humanity. Seek to awaken your mind and soul to new awareness.
Follow the path of Ahau and embrace the power of light during this period. May the coming days bring illumination to your journey."

Mega corporations took over the studios in the late 80's. They found that the largest demographic of movie-goers were 15 year old males. They started making movies ONLY for that demogrphic.

I've had several past-life regressions, some of them spontaneously. One of them was in sign language class. There were three signs that triggered memories.
The first memory made no sense, as I had no other context. The second sign triggered new memories, but had the context of the previous one. By the third "flash of memories", the rest of the story unfolded.
