I go places and do things. Sometimes I take pics.

  • If everyone who claims that is a loon (and they may be), then the leakers are auto-discredited.

    Again and with clear emphasis because it looks like it was missed: I’m not saying UAPs are extraterrestrial. I’m making a meta-point.

    If leakers are almost automatically easily classed as loons, then any inquiry isn’t an inquiry. They may be off their rockers.

    And even “super-advanced tech” need not have extraterrestrial origin. But UAPs happen. We all seem to have forgotten O’Hare. Whatever happened was in passenger jet airspace.

    Regardless of what planetary origin, UAPs deserve inquiry.

    This is a thought provoking book. The author was even interviewed by Colbert and presented very cogently. Which is why I bought and read it.

    Before anyone knee-jerks, it attempts to only use the most credible UAP encounters and looks at them with skepticism and a scientific mind.

    All systems require a check on greed and something that pulls things back to balanced. What we have (in the US) right now isn’t it.

    SCOTUS has not helped in the least.

    We need incentives for participation because “the feels” isn’t enough to motivate most to work all that much. But we need taxes and laws to keep things from skewing like they have.






  • Grieve. Be kind to yourself, be kind to them. Allow yourself to feel without resisting the feelings. But don’t chase them either.

    There isn’t a right way to feel for most of this.

    Part of grieving is reflection (usually). Remembering good times, bad times and wish-they-were-different times. Find a way to be with those moments and accept them as they are: moments. They aren’t lost, just future ones will be different.

    And that’s okay. Or it will be. And you’ll be okay, too.

    I ruminate too. I tell myself it helps me learn, helps me grow, helps me remember not to “x”. It rarely helps. It’s just a conditioned response that makes me feel more control while i actually lose some.

    What truly helps is healing. Learning that sometimes compatability isn’t a you tho Ing or a them thing. But it’s still a thing and somebody called the spade a spade.

    If you weren’t up to your standards, then rise. Otherwise, coat yourself in patience. Listen to YouTube videos like Tara Brach. Be honest with yourself as you heal. We all have barbs, we all have scars.








  • You continue to assert I, or others, are saying things we are not. I have not alleged that the EU is lacking or “wanting.”

    I’m saying the US is far more diverse than is often credited. People are moving from one state to another because of that very reason. It is a confederation of states, by law. And our SCOTUS is making that more true each year.

    I am not saying “parity” but I am saying it’s far closer than your broad brush comments.
