Poem by Thich Nhat Hanh

The Fruit of Awareness Is Ripe


My youth
an unripe plum.
Your teeth have left their marks on it.
The tooth marks still vibrate.
I remember always,
remember always.

Since I learned how to love you,
the door of my soul has been left wide open
to the winds of the four directions.
Reality calls for change.
The fruit of awareness is already ripe,
and the door can never be closed again.

Fire consumes this century,
and mountains and forests bear its mark.
The wind howls across my ears,
while the whole sky shakes violently in the snowstorm.

Winter’s wounds lie still,
Missing the frozen blade,
Restless, tossing and turning
in agony all night.

Thich Nhat Hanh writes:

When I was young, I wrote this poem. I penetrated the heart of the Buddha with a heart that was deeply wounded.

I grew up in a time of war. There was destruction all around – children, adults, values, a whole country. As a young person, I suffered a lot. Once the door of awareness has been opened, you cannot close it. The wounds of war in me are still not all healed. There are nights I lie awake and ebmrace my people, my country, and the whole planet with my mindful breathing.

Without suffering you cannot grow. Without suffering cannot get the peace and joy you deserve. Please don’t run away from your suffering. Embrace it and cherish it. Go to the Buddha, sit with him, and show him your pain. He will look at you with loving kindness, compassion, and mindfulness, and show you ways to embrace your suffering and looking deeply into it. With understanding and compassion, you will be able to heal the wounds in your heart, and the wounds in the world. The Buddha called suffering a Holy Truth, because our suffering has the capacity of showing us the path to liberation. Embrace your suffering, and let it reveal to you the way to peace.

Epstein Cover-Up: Israel Maintains Blackmail Control Over U.S. Politicians. There could not be a greater threat to our National Security, than a foreign power having blackmail control over members of our government. Righteous police brought down Jeffrey Epstein and exposed there were surveillance rooms where the people brought to the Island were videoed raping underage kids, but, our government, compromised by the Jewish terror state, Israel, is now outright lying, so that the Jews can maintain control over our politicians, so the attempt at total world enslavement with a 5G biometric surveillance system, terminator enforcers, digital privilege currency, and the EMF mind rape of all our people to ensure any non-compliant American can be punished for thinking thoughts the Jews don't approve of. This is a nexus moment for the American people. Either we can accept the cover up of a massive child rape and blackmail operation by the Jews, which allows them control over the positions the politician, or scientist, or academic, or leading businessman holds, allowing a race of supremacist war monger pedophiles to have effective control over our Nation, or, we refuse to settle for anything less than Justice, forcing the entire truth out to reach the masses, knowing this "tug" on the tapestry of the emerging New World Order, will cause it to unravel. odysee.com/@Grouchy_Smurf:3/Tr… old.bitchute.com/video/zXCTGVR… minds.com/newsfeed/17907711500…

OK maybe I can try this in English too. I'm looking for a #horror #comic or short #graphicNovel that was published in the #eighties or earlier and was a graphical representation of the well know “boyfriend's death” story (Sheriff finds the girl variant)

It was published on an Italian comics magazine in the 70s or 80s, but I'm sure it was American. I can't find the issue anymore. Anybody knows it? Boosts welcome for reach.

This is a preemptive call to #Fediblock Meta's #P92‌/‌#Barcelona instance, for three reasons at least:
1. it'll be huge and extremely poorly moderated;
2. it will be a #privacy nightmare, allowing Meta to extensively profile #Fediverse users with greater ease;
3. it will be used to #EEE the Fediverse in the same way their “support” for #RSS and #XMPP was used to wipe them out from the general consciousness with a rug-pull (my full thoughts on this: wok.oblomov.eu/tecnologia/cred… )

"...as the news circulated I found that the amount of people deluding themselves into thinking we should welcome the upcoming Meta instance with open arms was much higher than I expected. Truly people never learn anything from history.

Seriously, how can we ever hope to find a solution to things like anthropogenic climate change when we can't even cope with the threat of surveillance capitalists siphoning off all the energy from the opportunity of a breakout?"

"Prediction:

Meta's P92‌/‌Barcelona‌/‌Threads joins the Fediverse. Many instances... federate with it. The Fediverse sees a growth like nothing before... Smooth sailing for a couple of years, but nearly every new account is created on Meta's side...

...a couple of years in, with over 90% of the Fediverse on Meta servers, the company goes for the rug pull, either on bogus technical claims on the protocol, or on the basis that 'everybody is here anyway'."

I had a realization when it comes to the whole "trust the experts" meme. There is nothing wrong with experts themselves. Even those who despise the slogan have experts they trust.

The problem is that the "experts" we are told we need to trust are preselected by the government to parrot whatever narrative they want. Other experts who may disagree are never the ones we are given permission to trust.

Why would he miss on purpose?

Makes no sense.
No one goes out on a life or death duel planning to shoot but miss, just above the head of the opponent.

Sure I will lose and die but that bullet that almost got him in the head will new legendary.

Knowing nothing about it, my guess is he was not very good at dueling so he got nervous and shot too fast and thus he missed while his opponent was a better pistol shot than him.

My son has an assignment from school: test #LexicaAI. I want to make this an opportunity to learn about all the ethical issues of #LLM including: sourcing material for training violating creators' moral and legal rights, worker #exploitation for labeling the training sets, the #energy and #water consumption associated with their use, and the exploitative goals of these models. I know the #askFedi #hivemind can help be gather a sizeable collection of references on these issues, so GO!

IN THEIR OWN WORDS:
"A new type of dietary fat that doesn’t require animals or large areas of land to produce could soon be on sale in the US as researchers and entrepreneurs race to develop the first “synthetic” foodstuffs.

US start-up Savor has created a “butter” product made from carbon, in a thermochemical system closer to fossil fuel processing than food production. “There is no biology involved in our specific process,” says Kathleen Alexander from the firm.

Instead, its butter is derived from the carbon in coal, methane or carbon dioxide. The petrochemical industry uses such inputs to create syngas – a blend of carbon monoxide and hydrogen – which is then turned into long-chain hydrocarbons in what is called the Fischer-Tropsch process.

Nice one Berlin...
‘Stop the genocide’: Protests outside Berlin restaurant with GHF ties

Israeli newspaper Haaretz reports that the opening of an Israeli restaurant in Germany’s capital has been postponed following protests over its owner’s ties to controversial Gaza aid efforts.

Dozens demonstrated the launch of a restaurant owned by Israeli celebrity restaurateur Shahar Segal, a former spokesperson for the Gaza Humanitarian Fund (GHF).

The newspaper said the demonstration was organised by anti-Zionist Jewish groups, including the International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network (IJAN) and Jewish Voice for Peace.

Protesters chanted slogans such as “Blood in your food” and “Stop the genocide.”

The Oath of Office signifies a commitment to ethical conduct, legal compliance, and the best interests of the public.

At the federal level, the oath is enshrined in 5 U.S. Code § 3331, and it is a requirement for all individuals entering federal civil service or uniformed services.

Malfeasance is misconduct that can violate an oath of office. It refers to the commission of an illegal act.

Can a Law Firm or College bring a Suit alleging such, in lieu of Congress acting?

Israel’s Plan for Concentration Camp in Gaza Constitutes a War Crime [acc. to "16 Israeli experts in international law and the laws of war"] | Communist Party of Israel (2025-07-12)

>> ... the plans presented by Israel’s defense establishment to expel the population of Gaza in a “humanitarian city”. This concentration camp constitutes a blatantly illegal order, 16 Israeli experts in international law and the laws of war warned Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz and the Israel army chief of staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir in a public letter issued Friday. In the letter, the experts warned that implementation of the plan would constitute a war crime and a crime against humanity. They said that under certain conditions, it could also be considered genocide. “We call on all relevant parties to publicly withdraw from the plan, renounce it and refrain from carrying it out,” they wrote.
