#laughter — Public Fediverse posts

🎥 Rockstars at 75–90: Agility + Fun (Watch Till the End)

⚽️ Today’s SPARTA Class for all abilities at the Malden Senior Center closed out with an agility ladder + ball toss circuit. Footwork, eye–hand coordination, focus — and a whole lot of laughter.

😅We build strength and power every class. But the real magic is the joy and community.

Reminder that if you cannot engage in unhinged laughter, at least you can have a sensible chuckle.

TOO MUCH INFORMATION 💎

This morning I pooped myself.

Twice.

Because I had a major #stroke years ago, I don't always get much warning.

My #mind saw two accidents and immediately launched a full #emergency response.

"Right... that's it."

"Time for that special waterproof underwear I keep in the linen chest."

"You've had a good run."

"Let's start looking at nursing homes."

It all sounded surprisingly logical.

I kept inspecting the #facts.

What had changed?

Then I remembered...

Yesterday I'd taken one magnesium tablet for leg cramps.

Magnesium.

Case closed.

In less than a minute I'd gone from #shopping for continence #products...

...to laughing at myself in the #bathroom.

The #imagination is a wonderful servant.

It's just a terrible #diagnostician. 😄

Humans and great apes show similar rhythmic pattern in laughter

A quotation from Victor Hugo

He did not smile, as we have already said, but he used to laugh; sometimes, indeed frequently, a bitter laugh. There is consent in a smile, while a laugh is often a refusal.
 
[Il ne souriait pas, nous l’avons dit, mais il riait; parfois, fréquemment même; d’un rire amer. Il y a du consentement dans le sourire, tandis que le rire est souvent un refus.]

Victor Hugo (1802–1885) French writer, journalist, human rights activist, politician
The Man Who Laughs [L’Homme qui rit; The Laughing Man; By Order of the King], Part 1, Book 0, ch. 1, sec. 4 (1.0.1.4) (1869) [tr. Unknown, Authorized (1871)]

When I first read what is commonly known as Hegel’s ‘Phenomenology of Spirit’ trans. A.V. Miller, but is actually his ‘Science of System’, I burst out into almost uncontrollable laughter.

"you have to laugh at the things that hurt you..." - Ken Kesey [1920x1080]

or release you from the lies of people who stake a claim on things and thoughts. Presumably Marx did not laugh, as had sufficient reasons to hate the Germans given the antisemitism of the princes and those like Johann Gottlieb Fichte? #philosophy #Zeitgeist #laughter #ThePrinciple #Marx #Hegel #Fichte

MANAGING SYMPTOMS.
NOT SEEKING #ENLIGHTENMENT

People sometimes mistake me for someone spiritual. I am not. I am practical.

I #breathe consciously because it hurts when I do not. I fast because it hurts when I am too heavy. I walk because the body needs #movement I meditate because disorder is painful. I pay attention because not paying #attention has #consequences

That is all.

There is no halo around any of it.

For years, I have lived with the aftermath of a major stroke, hemiplegia, weight, discomfort, and all the indignities that come with a damaged body. None of it was beautiful. None of it was noble. It was simply what had happened.

After enough years of suffering, I began to see that the body was giving me facts.

Breathe. Move. Rest. Eat less. Get up. Walk. Pay attention. Do the next thing.

That is the whole system.

The body is not asking for #philosophy. It is asking for #breakfast. Then breathwork. Then a #walk. Then rest. Then perhaps irritation. Then perhaps #laughter Then the next thing.

And the next.

And the next.

It is not unlike ChatGPT. There is no little person inside either of us running around with a clipboard. There is just the next movement, the next word, the next breath, the next necessity.

For most of my life, I made all of this into a problem. I had fantasies about death, ideas about enlightenment, thoughts about escape. I believed I had to understand everything.

Now I see something much simpler.

There is only life while it is being lived. There is waking. There is sleeping. There is waking again. And one day, there will simply be a last time I go to sleep.

I cannot experience death. I can only experience life.

So death has lost its reality for me.

Not because A Course in Miracles tells me there is no death. Not because I believe a doctrine. Because when I look directly, death is never here.

Life is here.

Breathing is here.

The body is here, demanding #attention again.

Probably lunch.

Nothing matters in the way I once thought things mattered. And yes, I will still get irritated. I will still get pissed off. Someone will say something stupid. Technology will fail. The body will complain.

But irritation passes.

The weather passes.

The #body passes.

The next thing appears.

And I do that.

No freak out. No spiritual drama. No need to become anyone.

Just the next thing.

Maybe today (everyday) is a good day to make a little more space for laughter, silliness and being wonderfully human.

In my childhood, I used to think that the 19th century meant the era from 1900 to 1999;

later, I learned it was the era from 1800 to 1899.

In Star Trek, they'd carefully interact with new life forms and new civilizations. We, the allegedly uniquely sentient, destroy their habitats, gas them, spray chemicals to kill them, march them to slaughter for horrific abuse leading to their terrified deaths, and house some in cages so that our children can point at them and gawk. This planet is awash in ancient superstitions which give wealth, and power, to the corrupt who abuse everything to have a nice yacht to sail. No. A superyacht. Mere yachts are no better than rowboats, peasant Steve.

If space aliens landed, our leaders would launch an investigation into their tastiness.

"In addition to being the best medicine, laughter plays an outsized role in human cultures and interpersonal relationships. The fact that all other great apes, from bonobos to gorillas, also enjoy a good chuckle suggests that this form of vocal expression has broad benefits and potentially deep evolutionary origins."

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🦧😂 University of #Warwick researchers recorded #laughter from #orangutans, #gorillas, #chimpanzees, #bonobos, and #humans, finding the same evenly spaced #rhythm across all six species.

The #structure traces back to a common ancestor 15 million years ago and has remained unchanged. Human laughter has evolved faster and more context dependent, possibly a building block for #speech.

For ridicule shall frequently prevail,
And cut the knot, when graver reasons fail.

Fortius et melius magnas plerumque secat res.]
