#weekendstories — Public Fediverse posts

Parallel to the "From Dawn Till Dusk" exhibition at the #Kunstmuseum #Bonn, a retrospective of Gregory Crewdson's work was on display (and still is until February 22, 2026.

#Buddhism offers a nuanced approach to #sexuality that differs from many traditions: rather than condemning #SameSex relationships, core teachings evaluate actions based on intention, harm, and attachment. Early texts lack explicit prohibitions of #homosexuality, while monastic celibacy rules apply universally regardless of orientation. However, Buddhism's #MiddleWay invites #ethical engagement beyond rigid identity categories.

Sustained #meditation practice induces measurable #neuroplasticity: #CorticalThickening, #GrayMatter/ #WhiteMatter changes, #DMN modulation, stronger attention and emotion‑regulation networks, and reduced #stress reactivity.
