"Without music, life would be a mistake.”― Friedrich Nietzsche

(n.) a hip-again ideology, and basically anti-capitalist. a passage vehicle, for breaking free from some current norms, but by no means the final balanced form.. I worry sometimes about people who just soaked in "ugh, it's capitalism that dehumanizes people, it's all capitalism's fault" and are fighting like that's the whole truth (whom I see a lot of, online and in some of my adjacent social circles!!). scapegoating doesn't solve anything.. but if I take a breath in and out, I know it will be ok. there is more to come after this.
"just share what you can & take what you need" works great & intuitively within a family context; but on a society level, historically, has led to horrible mismanagement and its own forms of dehumanization.. people are not going to get magically better at intrapersonal relationships, or resource logistics, or equal access to healthcare, simply because there's a change in the system. a system is a tool, like a knife, not good or bad on its own-- and I'm sure you've heard where this is going before, so I won't bore you.
if you want a society infused with respect towards others: embody it, weave it tight into your own life with everything you do. if you want honest communication, start by cutting out the outright lies in your daily relationships, then move on to the trickier & smaller white lies you tell yourself in a half-whispered thought. these things will get you a lot farther and make the journey a lot more engaging, challenging and rewarding.

motor retaining nut on an airplane rotor. named so because, if it becomes loose, your only real option is to pray to jesus.

The art of determining the character of another by the resemblances and differences between his face and our own, which is the standard of excellence.

---

"There is no art," says Shakespeare, foolish man,
"To read the mind's construction in the face."
The physiognomists his portrait scan,
And say: "How little wisdom here we trace!
He knew his face disclosed his mind and heart,
So, in his own defence, denied our art."
—Lavatar Shunk

(n.) an Australian creature similar to a dog; it rejects the human partnership of its domestic cousin in favor of a life of eating babies

remember back in, what, 3rd grade, was it? when at the end of the school year there was nothing to do in class and we just sat in a line and gave the person in front a back rub? Back when we could be intimate, bonding like that. Nowadays we'd be all self-conscious and we would all be uncomfortably joking about sexual undertones, but back then it was just a thing we did as peers. But now that we're teenagers we can never be in that state of innocent, friendly intimacy.

individuals who identify as writing, verbally reciting, or expressing poetry in any form. Some poets are aware they are poets, and pass away long before society accepts them as such. Other poets are active (and known) in the poetry community during their time alive. Poets may use additional mediums to share and illustrate their poetry, such as music, or writing, even though some simply memorize and recite their poems. One of the most famous poems, historically, is almost certainly the inscription on the pillar of allahabad; more prominently known as the allahabad prahsasti, in academic circles. This inscription is in an ancient language known as Sanskrit, and praises the ruler of the time, Samudragupta. It also chronicles and lists the ruler's military and political achievements. bards are also often considered kin to poets, and one can be the other, in different cultural settings.
