Undisputed new favorite movie blows anything else out of the water; I almost swear it was written by myself cuz it's the queerest, funniest, cuilest thing I've ever encountered. Hits all the right spots and is traditional without catering to rigidity.

For me, it's a perfect film from the cast to the music to the most affirming double entendres I've found outside the cuilverse.

Once Upon A Mattress is the hidden gem I never knew I was looking for. Regular degular looking main characters for the most part, gorgeous set work, and I finally grok the whole birds and the bees thing folks go on about.

Riotous good show. It tickled not only myself, but all my characters as well, and that's... never been done before.

I want to do it again!

I had a dream that seemed like it might be a metaphor for our network somehow.

Little bits of a fantasy world full of dangers were bleeding into our own. It started with art morphing into real people who fell out of the paintings.

Then knights popping out of thin air running full tilt with their swords out at whoever happened to be standing there, witch people and people who were rabid, like zombies.

A lot of them were wearing quite nondescript clothes, so it was hard to tell at first glance who was from our world and who wasn't.

So every person you encountered could be one of them.

People were trying to get to the nearest subway station to get out of the area.

I realised that a good strategy was to pretend to be rabid myself, since it scared off people from both worlds.

One old lady saw right through it and said something like "yes hello dear" to me, which I thought was sweet.

I started going down some steps, only to be faced with a group coming up. They had a rabid man by both arms and were dragging him up the stairs as he struggled and growled. I started growling myself and advancing on the group, which started backing down the stairs in front of me. I rapidly realised this wasn't the best idea, but didn't know what else to do, so kept going.

It was like two dogs facing off in the park.

Then the group had the bright idea to let go of the man they were holding and let him and me fight to the death.

Both of us rushed at each other's faces. I had no idea how I was going to handle this.

Then both of us at the last second dropped the act, gave each other a peck on the lips and walked past each other. He'd been doing the same thing I was doing.

I was left facing the group, said "I'm sorry about that" in a very British way, they all just started laughing with relief, and we proceeded together to the subway.

The weird thing about this dream is that normally I only have two speeds when there's peril in dreams, "heroic" and "run away".

In this dream I was so focused on self-preservation that I was not only deceiving and scaring other survivors rather than trying to help them, but also got stuck in that mode even when it was completely pointless and self-defeating (it should have been clear that the group coming up the stairs weren't a threat other than the man they were holding, so it would have made more sense to help them or at least get out of their way).

This is a tough story to tell. In 2019 the last of the mountain caribou in the lower 48 states disappeared. Extinct. Deforestation threatens those that are left. Professional Wildlife tracker and photographer David Moskowitz takes us to the frigid mountains of British Columbia to learn about the ancient but fragile ecosystem these majestic reindeer call home.

Our guest tells us, "as a storyteller you have a responsibility not to change the story but to show your audience a different way of seeing it, seeing it from a different perspective,." Storytelling helps us to see and understand ourselves and our place in the world a little bit better. They help us to locate ourselves not only in the past and present, but in the future. To know

Kesha Christie is an Afro-Carribbean storyteller. And she is delightful.

My guest today is Ramon Parish, an assistant professor in Naropa University’s department of Interdisciplinary Studies. Ramon has been synthesizing mindfulness, embodiment, social justice, the environment, and ritual & ceremony for over a decade, and has helped usher hundreds of young people through contemporary threshold experiences. In our conversation today, we explore a dazzling array of themes, including: the impact of comics as modern mythologies, the power of healing personal and ancestral trauma through movement, the spiral dynamics of emergence, and how these uncertain times ask that we become riders of chaos.

May 1, 2021. In the preface to the Japanese edition of The Seven Storey Mountain, 20 years since writing it and two years before his death at a conference of monks in Bangkok, Thomas Merton says: "Perhaps if I were to attempt this book today, it would be written differently. Who knows? But it was written when I was still quite young, and that is the way it remains. The story no longer belongs to me. . . . Therefore, most honorable reader, it is not as an author that I would speak to you, not as a storyteller, not as a philosopher, not as a friend only. I seek to speak to you, in some way, as your own self. Who can tell what this may mean? I myself do not know, but if you listen, things will be said that are perhaps not written in this book. And this will be due not to me but to the One who lives and speaks in both." • note 20210430-222202 • https://t.me/s/IntuitiveStory/272 ••
