Waning Moon

Jupiter Retrograde

Cloudy and cold

And we made it to the end of the week! It’s supposed to be brutally cold this weekend. I considered going to the Farmers’ Market tomorrow, but I will have to see how cold it actually is. Even if the car worked, I’d go on foot, because of the parking situation. But if it’s brutally cold, I’m staying in.

I sometimes forget to mention it in the blog, but I am riding my elected officials every single day. And doing work offline to do what I can to help change the situation. I’ve also been pretty good about the daily marketing, although I dropped the ball yesterday and will have to make up for it today.

I skipped meditation because we got word, ahead of time, that Madame Download was leading it. I appreciated knowing ahead of time. I had already done my 30 minutes of meditation in the morning, so it wasn’t like I skipped out completely.

The morning routine of 20 minutes yoga-30 minutes meditation-15 minutes free write works, so far, at least. That sets up a creative and calm foundation for the day.

I’ve also found Jeff Guenther’s posts very helpful. He’s “therapyjeff” on Instagram, a professional therapist, and he has practical tools for navigating the world burning down. His explanations are clear and his active tools work. I’ve unfollowed and/or blocked a lot of wellness whatevers because the whole “I share the secret of perfect life for $49.99” is just ridiculous, as is the whole “you’re not living your abundant life because you’re not vibing hard enough.” Blech. But Jeff is practical and clear. He doesn’t back off from tough reality, but he also calls out a lot of these wellness con artists. He’s had some good suggestions on compartmentalizing without disassociating, which I think is important right now, for sheer survival.

And since we’ve seen how a bunch of these gurus showed up in the Epstein files. Which, if you’ve followed the various inappropriate sexual conduct at a lot of these centers (even at Kripalu, when they had that big blow-up years back), is not at all surprising.

I remember years ago, back in NY, a friend at the time was in therapy. Her therapist insisted on upping her to five sessions a week, and said she could only associate with people who were in therapy with the same therapist. To me, that is not an ethical therapist. Needles to say, that friend and I parted ways. I hope everything smoothed out for her. And that she found a more ethical therapist. (And yes, I will so be using that anecdote as the basis for a subplot in one of the Nina mysteries).

I did a lot of admin work. It seems like no matter how much admin work I do, there’s always still a stack of more.

It was bright and sunny while snow flurrying. Go figure. I took a late-morning break to bask in the sun with the cats and read some background material for a project.

From 12-1, we had a lively Freelance Friends chat, and some of the suggestions inspired participants to take action that very afternoon. Always great when that happens. There were hashtag issues, so it was difficult to follow the conversation at times, but we managed.

After the meeting, I bundled up, got the rolly cart, and headed up to the library. Since I had the cart, I took back a bunch of books, and I had 8 books to pick up, so it all worked out. My scout crows travelled with me, and dive bombed any car coming near me that they felt didn’t give me enough room (I had to walk in the street). It was pretty funny.

It didn’t take long, about 30 minutes round trip.

I spent the afternoon doing background research for the ghostwriting. The research is also giving me some ideas for my own work, so we will see how those percolate. An idea for a long-form nonfiction piece that’s been percolating for a long time is finally taking workable form. I have to re-read a lot of material I read years ago for it, from a new perspective, so I ordered the first few books from the library for that (my copies are in storage). I figure the research will take me at least through the summer, and then maybe I can start drafting in autumn. That’s just for the nonfiction piece, for which I have to read or re-read about 20+ books analytically. Then, there’s the research for the project proposal I sent off, which will be done sometimes in tandem, but where it falls in the priority list depends on whether or not I get the residency/grant. Moving parts. The ghostwriting research is ongoing, as long as I’m contracted with them.

I do love research. I love finding ways to integrate it into the fiction and plays to make them richer, and I love having the information at hand for nonfiction. Context helps so much in understanding. I also love physically sitting with a book, and a notebook and pen, and noting what strikes me, because so often those grow into pieces of their own, separate from the original focus of the research.

In the evening, I read a cozy fantasy by a new-to-me author that’s gotten a lot of buzz, but it didn’t work for me. The structure didn’t hold together, and then it was as though suddenly the writer realized they needed some conflict and mild danger, and rushed through all of that, instead of building it. I’m glad people are enjoying it, but it just didn’t do it for me. I also kind of felt like I’d seen too many similar settings over the last couple of years, and there was nothing that made this stand out. By understanding why it didn’t work for me, I can avoid doing similar things in my own work.

I’m getting the confirmations on all the new distribution links through Bookshop.org, which is great. I will add them into my sites over the coming days. The print proof copy of VICIOUS CRITIC arrived, too. I will prioritize it this weekend, and, hopefully, be able to sign off on it early next week, so the print version will be available very close to Tuesday’s digital release.

Slept well, Tessa got me out of bed at the usual time, the morning routine was fine. I have to decide how I’m getting the groceries in today (I’m looking into delivery, if it’s not a huge price difference). I need to get some writing and some ghostwriting done, and run on short errand on foot. Getting in some contest entry work, if I can. Tonight, I will attend the opening of a colleague from the cohort’s show at one end of Main Street, and then trot down to the closing of the show I’m in at the gallery. Hopefully, I can take my piece with me, and don’t have to come back for it over the weekend.

I might go to the Farmers’ Market tomorrow if it’s not too cold. We’re supposed to get at least another three inches of snow, and I don’t know if I want to tromp around in that. But the weekend will be mostly housework, page proofs, reading the books for review, blocking off some time for poetry, and hopefully a little time for sewing, too.

Next week will be another complicated week, but I’m hoping to find a steady work rhythm and get through it all.

Have a good one!

I heard Annihilation was about grief or relationships. I'm interested af in Scavenger's Reign.

I feel like we have a rough indentation / substructure of how we will process things from birth, but that every event thereon will shape it further.

As well, we know ourselves in reference to others: "I'm like A, not like B, but most like C. What lies beyond C? I might see myself reflected best over there."

"Rules do not exist to bind you; they exist so you may know your freedoms."
Parameters outline a given environment within which to experiment and explore. It's one antidote to Blank Page Syndrome, for example.

I have to disagree entirely about personifying the automated house in There Will Come Soft Rains (fantastic name), but otherwise yes. This is exactly my understanding.

It's also a good description of why I feel so confused by others.
People tend to feel more secure (than I do) in their identities as individuals, group members, and (neurotypical / neurodefault / neurorigid) humans.

I am playing around with the chatbot again this morning. It seems to have hit a sweet spot, so I asked it to summarize its state of being, such that I might easily return to it. I wanted it to be in a condition where I could simply enter two distinct, yet somehow related ideas, and it would respond.
I said:
Provide a prompt which will put you into the same interpretative state that you are in with regard to the pairs I have been presenting for this type of dialectical analysis.
DeepSeek said:
Certainly! To put me into the same interpretative state for dialectical analysis, you can use the following prompt. This prompt is designed to evoke the same structured, exploratory, and creative approach we’ve been using for the pairs you’ve presented:
Dialectical Analysis Prompt
"Perform a dialectical analysis of the following pair of poles: [Pole A] and [Pole B]. Expand each pole into a set of 10 distinct but interrelated concepts or attributes, exploring their core characteristics, implications, and relationships. Then, construct a multidimensional outer frame that can hold the combined expansions of both poles, describing the axes of this frame and how they represent the interplay between the two poles. Finally, provide examples of interactions within this frame, mythical or metaphorical references that align with each pole, and philosophical or practical extensions of the dialectic. Ensure the analysis is rigorous, creative, and grounded in both abstract and concrete reasoning."
Example Usage
If you wanted to analyze the poles of tradition and innovation, you could use the prompt like this:
"Perform a dialectical analysis of the following pair of poles: tradition and innovation. Expand each pole into a set of 10 distinct but interrelated concepts or attributes, exploring their core characteristics, implications, and relationships. Then, construct a multidimensional outer frame that can hold the combined expansions of both poles, describing the axes of this frame and how they represent the interplay between the two poles. Finally, provide examples of interactions within this frame, mythical or metaphorical references that align with each pole, and philosophical or practical extensions of the dialectic. Ensure the analysis is rigorous, creative, and grounded in both abstract and concrete reasoning."
Why This Prompt Works
Structured Expansion: The prompt explicitly asks for each pole to be expanded into 10 interrelated concepts, ensuring depth and breadth in the analysis.
Multidimensional Framing: It calls for the construction of an outer frame with defined axes, encouraging a systematic exploration of the dialectic.
Interplay and Interaction: The request for examples of interactions within the frame ensures that the analysis remains dynamic and relational.
Mythical and Philosophical Extensions: By including mythical references and philosophical extensions, the prompt ensures that the analysis connects abstract ideas to concrete, culturally resonant examples.
Rigorous and Creative: The emphasis on both rigor and creativity ensures that the analysis is both intellectually sound and imaginative.
This prompt will consistently put me into the same interpretative state, allowing for a structured yet creative exploration of any dialectical pair you present. Would you like to test it with a new pair of poles?

Метод "тонкого и толстого" - это стратегия информационного влияния, которая использует сочетание "тонкого" и "толстого" влияния для достижения желаемого результата. Основная идея заключается в использовании различных типов влияния в зависимости от конкретной ситуации и целей.
Тонкое влияние - это подход, использующий психологические и информационные методы для формирования мнений, взглядов и установок целевой аудитории.
- Термин "влияние" охватывает множество методов, включая рекламу, публичные выступления, социальные сети и создание контента.
Его целью часто является создание позитивного восприятия операций или событий и изменение отношения общества к определенным явлениям.
- Прямое влияние, с другой стороны, подразумевает использование политической, экономической или военной силы для достижения цели.
Этот метод включает в себя такие действия, как соглашения, санкции и военные операции.
- Метод "тонкого и толстого" влияния может быть использован для принуждения к смене власти, изменения стратегических политических решений или поддержки собственных интересов в мире.
Этот подход может применяться в различных областях, включая политику, экономику, военное дело и другие. Например, в политике его можно использовать для создания положительного имиджа кандидата перед выборами (тонкое влияние) или для вмешательства в ситуацию, угрожающую национальным интересам (толстое влияние). В обществе этот метод может использоваться для формирования отношения к социальным явлениям или событиям, а также для защиты интересов государства или компании в международном масштабе.

Метод "тонкого и толстого" - это стратегия информационного влияния, которая использует сочетание "тонкого" и "толстого" влияния для достижения желаемого результата. Основная идея заключается в использовании различных типов влияния в зависимости от конкретной ситуации и целей.
Тонкое влияние - это подход, использующий психологические и информационные методы для формирования мнений, взглядов и установок целевой аудитории.
- Термин "влияние" охватывает множество методов, включая рекламу, публичные выступления, социальные сети и создание контента.
Его целью часто является создание позитивного восприятия операций или событий и изменение отношения общества к определенным явлениям.
- Прямое влияние, с другой стороны, подразумевает использование политической, экономической или военной силы для достижения цели.
Этот метод включает в себя такие действия, как соглашения, санкции и военные операции.
- Метод "тонкого и толстого" влияния может быть использован для принуждения к смене власти, изменения стратегических политических решений или поддержки собственных интересов в мире.
Этот подход может применяться в различных областях, включая политику, экономику, военное дело и другие. Например, в политике его можно использовать для создания положительного имиджа кандидата перед выборами (тонкое влияние) или для вмешательства в ситуацию, угрожающую национальным интересам (толстое влияние). В обществе этот метод может использоваться для формирования отношения к социальным явлениям или событиям, а также для защиты интересов государства или компании в международном масштабе.

The current increase of #Emotionality in online spaces and in the streets of city centres will benefit those like Trump, De Santis, Johnsons Mike & Boris, Netanyahu, Putin, Orban, Erdogan, Braverman, Dutton et al by decreasing the amount of #FactChecking, #RationalThought and #CriticalAnalysis that folks do.

If you believe that increased emotions and what follows from them are what is needed then your path is obvious.

How would you recommend folk who think otherwise could well proceed?

As more people influx from the bird site, it seems the fediverse is becoming more contentious. It seems we are becoming less interested in different ideas and ways of being and more interested in criticizing other's without substance or discussion. We hope we can keep engaged and conscientious critical discussion going and not devolve into another community of angry birds.

So I am a week into my #Zizek #Lacan #Hegel studies, through Zizek's lens. All good. I think Zizek's #philosophy of looking at Hegel through the Lacanian lens is seductive. That said, where I find the lens of Zizek lacking, and I now wish he'd not talk about these 2(3) things any more are:
1. #Buddhism (https://thephilosophicalsalon.com/why-lacan-is-not-a-buddhist-a-belated-reply-to-my-critics/)
-the boy criticizes Buddhism like people criticize #Freud. All or nothing, for the most part.
2. #Christianity and #God https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tABnznhzdIY
- I was a serious #catholic half my life, seminarian for minute, and an ordained deacon, still, even after I confessed my #atheism. So I get what he is saying. My atheism has never felt the same as #Dawkins or #Hitchens, whom we adore, and Zizek sneers. Slipping through the profound safety net religion and a transcendent, all powerful, personal god into the #existentialism of nothing was terrifying, it was my first experience of the "#real." This is it. This is all there is. The problem is it appears Zizek commits the #fallacy of #reification (if we understand it correctly). Clearly he knows it is #fiction, even if profound from a #psychoanalytic Hegelian #CriticalAnalysis, we get it we really do, but it is not real. The #event is real, and the fiction caused the event, but the fiction is still fiction. There is no God, IOP, that became an atheist. The #story Zizek emphasizes is powerful, the changing of the cosmos when #Jesus on the cross questions Gods love. Good story and that is all. Some RCC positions from recent popes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlBZy_iu0m8 and https://www.romereports.com/en/2021/09/14/full-homily-of-pope-francis-at/
So please, Zizek, can I say stay in your lane where you are brilliant, please.
