Lunar New Year

Time Traveler

 

Ben built a time machine, complete with a sidecar for Dash:

They traveled to the Pleistocene and the Jurassic and brought back photos of what they saw...

Then, the next day, Ben used foam from a bubble bath to travel to the future and learned magic tricks.

Three things:

1. I find myself really drawn to artists who are centering love in their work right now and making it a communal experience. 

2. Artists who get into the weeds and tend to details with as much care and attention as they devote to the big picture deliver an integrity of experience which I find really moving.

3. I am so grateful when any of my prejudices give way to respect and admiration.

Human Design

 

An addition to the cartography of self...

Mike and I are both 5/1s, married 6/2s, and have 6/2 children? Is this the deep magic of the universe revealed or like a mammogram where everybody has "dense breast tissue"?

Evan is a generator, I am a manifestor, and we have a manifesting generator child? Is that like how Evan is a golden rooster, I'm a fire snake, and we have a fire rooster child?

I love this stuff:

mysterious, insightful, curious, wonderful.

Beware

 

...the soul-sucking force of reasonableness.

-- The Power of Moments

Ben and Evan both think this is a terrible idea, but I am delighted by it.

Heated Rivalry

This show! The response it's getting (Esther Perel weighs in beautifully, as does Taffy Brodesser-Akner on superfandom)!

The acting! Episode Five! The easter eggs!

These two IRL!

ROMANCE FOR THE WIN!

Protests

 

"Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are seperated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared."
