Fuck yeah 🤜💥
"The “#Gett Naked” campaign, led by #activist #AdinaSash, is using anonymous images and public pressure to demand a #religious #divorce for an #agunah and force the issue back onto the community agenda.
A growing #online #protest campaign is drawing attention to the plight of #agunot — #Jewish #women trapped in #marriages because their #husbands refuse to grant them a #religiousdivorce.
The initiative is led by #socialactivist Adina Sash, who has worked for years in the #UnitedStates on behalf of agunot and women denied a gett. Sash runs the platform collecting and publishing the images and messages sent by participants. Each #woman decides her own level of exposure, according to her boundaries around #modesty and her personal sense of mission."

Yes, I know it was already recorded. Yes, I know, they're just lip synching to track. But, whose idea was it to put the wind screen *on the camera-side* of the mic?!?
I'm not linking to the song on the Tube of You, it's easy enough to find. It's Bette's parody lyrics to Woody Guthrie's "All You Fascists Bound to Lose".

Why then should I give my Readers bad Lines of my own, when good Ones of other People’s are so plenty? ‘Tis methinks a poor Excuse for the bad Entertainment of Guests, that the Food we set before them, tho’ coarse and ordinary, is of one’s own Raising, off one’s own Plantation, &c. when there is Plenty of what is ten times better, to be had in the Market. — On the contrary, I assure ye, my Friends, that I have procur’d the best I could for ye, and much Good may’t do ye.
Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) American statesman, scientist, philosopher, aphorist

Young Girl Standing Against a Background of Wheat, Vincent Van Gogh
Really love the colors used here, it blows my mind when I try to analyze or imagine how I could have come up with that on my own. I would like to understand his process or his system.
I'm sort of tired from work so maybe tomorrow I won't think that this girl carries all that is good and true about humanity under her little sun hat. All the flowers probably appeared when she did, like she has that kind of effect on the natural world. 😁

Humanity 101 for the billionaire class
“Those who have more than they need must consider themselves a debtor to those who have less.”* — Saint Basil the Great (*quote text was updated to be more inclusive and relevant in 2026)
Source: thehill.com——-
Charity – be a Mackenzie Scott, who gives generously without expectations. And by the way, political donations do not count as charity — those are self-serving.
Civics – community involvement pertains to voting, participating, speaking up, and especially paying your fair share in taxes. It does not pertain to bullying, taking advantage, using your wealth to get your way, or misusing the tax system.
Empathy – show empathy towards others who may be less fortunate than you or who may be suffering. Frankly, being a billionaire should include the “required responsibility” of being sympathetic towards the plight of others.
Gratitude – instead of expecting or receiving platitudes, express gratitude to those who helped you succeed, because it is NEVER done alone. Your co-workers, family, friends, employees, investors, and customers all played a part in success. Also show gratitude by paying a living wage, charging fair prices, and operating your organizations in a honest, equitable, and forthright manner.
Modesty – believe it or not, the world does not revolve around billionaires. Prioritize your own personal growth ahead of seeking validation from others. And…ostentatiousness is not a virtue.
Relevancy – scads of money does not necessarily make one relevant, but one’s humanity does.
Responsibility – take responsibility for your actions, especially the mistakes and certainly do not pin blame on others. Like it or not, when you are the head honcho the buck stops with you.
Self-reflection – surround yourself with people who are open and honest with you. The goal should be to always strive for improvement and to successfully pass Humanity 101.

Peace!

People like Joe Rogan cannot even say a single sentence without saying The F-Word.
English is a rich language you have plenty of options to express any kind of feelings.
Why say that profane and vulgar F-Word in the first place?

A quotation from Judith Martin
It is, indeed, a trial to maintain the virtue of humility when one can’t help being right.

A quotation from Marcus Aurelius
The first rule is, to keep an untroubled spirit; for all things must bow to Nature’s law, and soon enough you must vanish into nothingness, like Hadrian and Augustus. The second is to look things in the face and know them for what they are, remembering that it is your duty to be a good man. Do without flinching what man’s nature demands; say what seems to you most just — though with courtesy, modesty, and sincerity.
[Τὸ πρῶτον μὴ ταράσσου: πάντα γὰρ κατὰ τὴν τοῦ ὅλου φύσιν καὶ ὀλίγου χρόνου οὐδεὶς οὐδαμοῦ ἔσῃ, ὥσπερ οὐδὲ Ἁδριανὸς οὐδὲ Αὔγουστος. ἔπειτα ἀτενίσας εἰς τὸ πρᾶγμα ἴδε αὐτὸ καὶ συμμνημονεύσας ὅτι ἀγαθόν σε ἄνθρωπον εἶναι δεῖ καὶ τί τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἡ φύσις ἀπαιτεῖ, πρᾶξον τοῦτο ἀμεταστρεπτὶ καὶ εἰπέ, ὡς δικαιότατον φαίνεταί σοι: μόνον εὐμενῶς καὶ αἰδημόνως καὶ ἀνυποκρίτως.]Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher

This entrenched position
I got myself locked into
without thinking things through
(which I too often tend to do)
is beginning to disintegrateMy hard line intransigence
now blowing back in my face
as the relentless forces of truth
lay waste to played out argumentsHow to exit this pit gracefully
with even a shred of dignity
is not gonna be easy
for #modesty challenged me
in this social media communications age
where every rant pronouncement
is recorded permanently...Guess it's best to take the hit
and acknowledge before the congregation
that I am full of shit -
I wonder how many younger people understand that pubic hair in porn was not just some weird thing that happened in the 70s when the hippies were growing out their body hair. Not only was a hairy bush the default, but often a woman's pubic hair covered up *just enough* to allow more open porn poses, meaning we got to see more, not less.

False modesty a tautology?
"""
Sally is a skilled musician but does not [know] she is exceptional. She may talk endlessly about her skills [which] may make others feel bad about their lesser ability. If she realized this, she can avoid [that] in the interest of modesty.[So,] we think a modest person thinks less of themself [but], McMullin argues, paradoxically, to be modest, you must [first] realize you surpass others, [to] then act [modest].

Well he didn't. But he sure got the #benefits.
#Mastodon is *not* "the #network", anyway.
It would be rather naive to believe #Rochko wouldn't have an #agenda, too. Though loudly proclaimed, #benevolence doesn't look like his strong suit. And how are you so sure he hasn't cashed out himself. You might give it a shot and ask him about his personal and entrepreneurial assets.
I like your #modesty but ask yourself how long it took before you got stuck with a basic functionality that just isn't there as one would expect it.
As for me, I'm reluctant to fix this. I'm just waiting for the next thing and try to act in the real life much more. After all, who knows how long that's going to be still possible?
Gods? Nah, not really.
Positively yours, too. It's really not against you but you have been warned (I had too): this network can be at least as frustrating as the other ones.
Well, you'll find out and I'm sure you'll make the best of whatever happens.
Good talking, bye.

It is the law of heaven to make fullness empty and to make full what is modest; when the sun is at its zenith, it must, according to the law of heaven, turn toward its setting, and at its nadir it rises toward a new dawn. In obedience to the same law, the moon when it is full begins to wane, and when empty of light it …
