Last night I picked these 3 skeins from my handspun stash to create my next "Goddess Cape/Shawl" from. Coincidentally my feed showed me this morning that I spun them a year ago today! I guess I'm still wondering why we can't all just get along. I made some good progress knitting on it this evening at the #suburbanunityalliance Village Board of Trustees Candidate Forum. The last question asked of the candidates was what their favorite movie is. "The Color Purple" was one favorites, so I think this shawl already has a name: Sofia. . Note: the lovely green handwoven table runner shown is by textile artist @magsterweaver . #allpoliticsislocal #feministfiberartist #buytextileart #lavender #thecolorpurple #bipartisanship #yarnspinnersofinstagram #knittingofinstagram #originaldesign #arttowear #spinningspells #aStitchInTimeSaves (at Oak Park, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/BscHaQwn0S1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1daqkzrr9sgil

If you had to recommend just one book on atheism what would it be?

Is Richard Dawkins the best source for modern atheist thinking? I read The God Delusion and loved it because it is an easy read and he doesn’t beat around the bush but generally gets right to his point in an interesting way. But it seemed a bit dated having been written fifteen years ago. If you had one book to recommend, what would it be?

There’s little I enjoy more, than sitting in a quiet room, watching the day come to light, or in today’s case: watching the light fade to night. Today I spent not feeling so guilty for “not being productive”, and reading deeply into topics that excite me and morph me into the better person I want to be. Thinking much about the politicians I know close to home, and far across this country (and world tbh) who sacrifice so much in hopes of making our and their communities stronger and more just. It’s the hardest thing most people will ever do with their lives and I’m so grateful for them. I’ve been reading their stories and the stories of other countries around the world; realizing there’s so much I as an Amerikan, don’t know about how basically ANY other country is run, organized or cared for. I know, generally, about European and American imperialist actions and impacts, and the immense suffering that has come as cost, the world over. But I do not know much more than those generalizations. I look forward to learning more so I can be a better ancestor, even if it’s overwhelmingly depressing information at times. I often think of the quote whenever I need self-reassurance to keep going, through my discomfort, anguish, and even despair: “let this radicalize you, rather than lead you despair” #allpoliticsislocal #unlearning #quietplace #beginningofthesemester http://bit.ly/2MhOI80

Keep democracy rolling!!! The petition deadline for candidates to appear on the primary ballot is next Tuesday. Many candidates need as few as 500-1000 signatures to get their names on the ballot. I just signed Penny Mintz’s petition and had a great conversation with her. Let’s get some new voices in the conversation and on the ballot so we have some actual CHOICES next September! @pennymintz #pennymintz #newvoicesnewchoices #democracyinaction #allpoliticsislocal #getoutthere (at New York, New York)

The existential vacuum is why Donald Trump became President.

From Google: “If meaning is what we desire, then meaninglessness is a hole, an emptiness, in our lives. Whenever you have a vacuum, of course, things rush in to fill it. Frankl suggests that one of the most conspicuous signs of existential vacuum in our society is boredom.”

If you're wondering how in the heck this guy is our President, read this article I posted. But before you do, google Existential Vacuum.

This has been my theory all along, that if he won the presidency it would actually be a completely accurate representation of all of us, not just his voters. He did not get elected because we have more conservatives in American, and not because we are largely a racist xenophobic culture and nation, and not even just because we're fed up. It's because we are floundering and bored and have no identity as a people, and when we went looking for answers to all that on social media, there we found the genius of the Donald Trump campaign. Whether you voted for him or not, you clicked on stories about him and listened to his ranting on TV on more than a few occasions I'm gathering. And people who supported and voted for him bought with a blank check everything he said whether it was true or vulgar or otherwise. He is the real life ultimate representative of the tabloid culture we've cultivated and thrive on here in America. A culture created out of a lack of meaning, identity, and boredom. This is what happens when life becomes falsely easy.

If you're wondering what happens next....well, everything is going to change, and Donald Trump is just one chess piece on the board. Buckle up, folks. Hey, it might be good for us. Somehow.

Regardless, life goes on. It's wonderful and brilliant no matter what so love the people in your life and go one step farther than that...love your enemies...and you'll do just fine. Loving other people is usually where you find your real identity. Not in politics or on a screen or in having the biggest TV at Best Buy or the newest iPhone. If you feel empty ask yourself if there is an existential vacuum going on in your life. Then put down the screens and find something worth pursuing and loving and giving yourself to regardless of how hard it may be or what you have to sacrifice. That is the way to a great nation and a great world. More people doing that.

"Fukuyama, you see, believed that just because we'd reached the end of history didn't mean we'd stay in the end of history. That peace and prosperity might not be enough for some people, who would, "struggle for the sake of struggle," simply "out of a certain boredom" of living in a world that doesn't seem to have meaning or identity any more."  from the article.
