Thank you so much for the boosts, all! Can we keep this going?
Trying one more time in case my doom hasn't driven off like 99 percent of the universe already lol
Does anyone either have, or know someone who has, an interest in breathwork, of *any* kind? Anyone out there who won't treat it as a means to an end, but an experience to be *shared* with others?
I want more than the "it's a tool" school of thought here, and would prefer a relational approach. Or even just...a random person who gets it and doesn't look at it that way. We can chat about it, practice together, I'm down for anything. dms appreciated <3

I was captivated by HER's beautiful performances, cinematography, and music, and I related to many of the film’s core themes… but I really didn’t expect the actual plot to become a reality any time soon.

Prism & Pen · Is It Already Too Late To Resist the Allure of a Perfect AI Boyfriend?By James Patrick Nelson

Addiction Isn’t What You Think…

What if everything we thought we knew about addiction…was completely wrong?

Turns out an experiment to determine the cause of addition revealed that as our environment grows increasingly hostile, addition increases right along with it.

It's all about connections.
In a whimsical world, cats and fish can be friends instead of predator and prey. Strange beings can manifest out of the blue and dance among the flowers or spin in circles just for the fun of it! In a whimsical world, anything is possible.

"Finding Common Ground Before the Ship Sailed" - Patricia Vicary tells a touching story about a father and daughter who discovered their connection through fishing. It's a reminder that sometimes the most meaningful conversations happen when we're doing something together, not just talking. Beautiful reflection on family relationships and finding those shared moments that matter.

Beyond the Scoreboard · Finding Common Ground Before the Ship Sailed - Beyond the Scoreboard - MediumBy Patricia Vicary
Every ’technology’ has its unseen price-tag.

Be sure you want to pay it.

Shortcuts have consequences.

The invention of writing gradually made the ability to remember long sagas and genealogies redundant. It outsourced memory.

The calculator made mental arithmetic obsolete.

The instant-gratification distraction of the internet, steals our ability to focus.

Information overload destroys insight.

24-hr entertainment takes away healthy quietude.

The phone destroys conversation.

Instant information prevents wonder and curiosity.

Social media’s dopamine-addiction denies us the pleasures of boredom, reflection and slow discovery.

Artificial Intelligence vomits finished product at the click of a button and wears down our ability to research, create and evaluate. Why write an essay when you can achieve the word-count in seconds and spend the time you've saved scrolling on Facebook and envying other people’s pretend lives?

Autocorrect means me don’t have to know how to spell anymore.

Technology does not prevent us doing these things. It makes them unnecessary.

We choose convenience.

We choose the shortcut

What are we losing if we give away our ability to think, connect, create, discover, wonder, remember, build and achieve?

Perhaps we’re giving away our humanity.

Convenience is impoverishment.

Before I replace part of my humanity with a silicone-valley sourced shortcut, I must try to imagine the price, ten years from now, I will have paid for the ten minutes I save now.

Every ’technology’ has its unseen price-tag.

Be sure you want to pay it.

So riding my bike home, I had an experience, where I sometimes wonder if angels, in the nonmagical but very real human sense exist. I couldn't confine it to 500 characters so I wrote it on my blog here after getting home. I'm still kind of turning over what I experienced.
