Do you love roller coasters? Movies that show people stranded momentarily on a stuck Ferris wheel or, how ‘bout someone, one arm hanging gripping to a ledge by fingers, four, three,... Oh no! Don’t look down. I said don’t! Camera pans… maybe horror is your recreational fun style?
Suspense? Love the one note violin music… ttttt,.. tttttt,… tttttttttttt. Eyes fixed. Breath shallow… snap out of it.
You, we have been trolled. Trolled by Russian bot farms, the best, for years. ON the good side, Ukrainians are finding them and destroying them.
And in other ways too, like by sending in drones with explosives. The more they make, the more are destroyed, the more are destroyed, yeah, ad infinitum.
Terrible news. That flooded zone feel. Out of control feeling and let’s simply not make bad news seem more controlling and fixed than it is. It being the general world around us, my point being, when someone is picked up for deportation, is it us? Is it my family, my neighbor or friend. In my community or town? Widen the scope so you can feel more personally safe.
Plenty of fear to spread around. Is the fear about illness, lack of funding for science research, or instead racism or, or, or. All real but not all rise to your being involved or hurt. The biggest loudest threats tell about tomorrow, an unwritten story. None of this is going away quickly.
For clarity on the topic of ones feelings, here is a demonstration of a phenomenon known as ‘sympathetic resonance’ and I am postulating or extrapolating from there a theory of why you feel good, bad, angry, explosive, sad, rageful and wonder why. “Well,” perhaps you muse, “I was just having a tea. Reading the paper or looking at my phone, when I burst into tears of ….” rage, depression, fear? Something else?
But I’m nothing like them!!! Why would I vibrate or make a sound? Simply, we are very complex. We are not a one note tuning fork. So here’s another, very pleasantly nerdy video. Keep your eyes on the pendulum and you’re getting verryyy sleepy. lol. watch.
Another thought to ponder, the how come of becoming so influenced. So darned easily. It has possibly to do with our physical state. As solid as we are we are a beautifully arranged series of compartments of water and if you’ve seen rain in a puddle, you understand how easily water responds to another object landing in it, creating circles of ripples that behave like less visible waves of sound, or light. The theory is our emotions are also vibrations
“Brain activity is primarily considered electrical in nature, as neurons within the brain communicate through electrical impulses, which can be measured by an EEG (electroencephalogram) that detects the electrical activity on the scalp.” The impulses are just that, regular pulsing vibrations.
That hydrogen and oxygen is present in the form of water, a significant portion of the human body. Depending on age and type about 60%. more interesting percentages.
There is more to consider as we are near others and others vibrate too. The ripples affect one another. Just a thought to consider in your interactions with the news and others.
For calming, allow your empathy to reach out and away TO another rather than attempt to pull the trouble closer, an attempt to hug and sooth. Perspective on the real risks are helpful as stated above.
Persuasion, is the name of the terror game as well as the road to health. As Doge guy wields a chainsaw, keep in mind who the winners have always been. What? We are too tarnished now to consider we are the ones in the world that have the best and biggest economy. Doesn’t fit with what Trump says or where he wants to pull us. Oh well.
Watch the Trump/Musk presidency pendulum swing to Project 2025, which by the way I’ve been told in two different news places is on a collision course with Elon Musk and his shitty Mars project. Oh well. They will need to work that out as we take care of ourselves and each other.
Every day Trump is bashing Zelensky. Americans are looking at each other and wondering… why so much zelensky, zelensky zelenskyy all day?
Joyce Vance has tarted an additional newsletter and group. I recommend although brand new. No paying subscription needed. Here’s the first one.
Another way to scare the panties off everyone is the being smart way.
She’s got degrees, she’s so smart, she’s telling me, am I next? Coming for YOU! Gezus.
There is no end. There is no end, there is no end, no end to life and the struggles. No end to hatred or need some have for it. It’s the persuasion game, if you like me, if you want me to like you, think as I think. Do as I do. Let me put on more hair and make up what do you mean I look rediculous? Also… English much?
He has styled himself as the meme he concocted. Pleather? How many millions, billions to make a pretend picture that a portrait artist might have made. Oh, not fast enough, it’s true. Instant everything including wealth for their man, Elon.
Let’s not disparage Napoleon any longer to scratch an itch for assuming a throne. Comparisons of Boneparte to Trump only elevate the bastard felon.
Napoleon was loved by his countrymen and army he fought with. His deep love of a woman he elevated to Empress was Josephine, a story told as one of the greatest love stories of all time. He discovered the Rosetta Stone. He has little that crosses paths with the most common, no the most traitorous man alive to his family, (what) friends and country.
And also… “While Napoleon's reforms had a positive lasting impact on some aspects of European society, the widespread destruction caused by his wars is generally considered to outweigh the positive aspects.” Says Google. Nothing is entirely black or entirely white as bots and Musk and Trump would have you know.
One day very soon, the picture of poor health and diminishing wealth will be the only message one can see. Will they wheel Donald out in his wheel chair or continue to hide recovery in the hospital bed hooked to IV’s. So cleansing… renewing.
And lastly, somebody spilt the kompromat beans.
Yup. AI. I didn’t care enough to take the time to draw it myself.
Thanks for being here. I wouldn’t be here without you.

"Krasnov" -I'm not at all surprised. Ugh. We knew all along. Wake-up America....soon, please!
Sympathetic Resonance - I'm SO glad you wrote about this!👏. Thank You!🙏🌸
I love this essay. I didn’t pay much attention to science in school. Too many other things to worry about. In the Star Trek Next Generation episode
"Home Soil", humans are referred to as "ugly bags of mostly water”. The ugly is subjective. The bag of mostly water is what we are. I’ll share my poem “Ripple” soon. It’s been in the shop due to a faulty rhyme. Great work, Gari!
