DNA’nın 12 Tabakası
DNA’nın 12 Tabakası’ndan…
Dolayısıyla, DNA, partnerimin size sunduğu uçan daire örneğindeki o motor ve haritadır. O, tepkisel ve yaratıcıdır, iter ve çeker ve evrendeki diğer çok-boyutlu enerjiler gibi, “farkında”dır ve sizin içinizdeki Yaratıcı’yı bulmanıza yardım etmeye eğilimlidir.
DNA, beden düzenlemesinin “anteni”dir ve çok-boyutlu olanı alıp, önce bilgiye, sonra da…
When the United States Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022’s Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, Justice Samuel Alito’s majority opinion smugly declared that “nothing in this opinion should be understood to cast doubt on precedents that do not concern abortion.” Alito mocked the dissent’s concern that getting rid of abortion would ultimately imperil things like access to contraception, saying the dissent was “designed to stoke unfounded fear that our decision will imperil those other rights.”
But as anti-choice politicians and activists are now deploying Dobbs to try to roll back decades of law about bodily autonomy, it’s clear the dissent’s fears were quite well-founded.
Conservatives are not going to stop at unwinding the constitutional right to privacy, which underpins things like the right to obtain birth control and the right of same-sex couples to marry. After they destroy the agency of half the population by imposing so-called “fetal personhood” laws, they’re coming for the modern welfare state.
The blueprint
Over at the hard-right Washington Examiner, Conn Carroll, a former comms person for both the Heritage Foundation and Utah Sen. Mike Lee, has a lengthy list of laws he’d like to get rid of — everything from Medicaid, to Head Start, to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Those laws, he argues, “penalize marriage and encourage alternative family formation.” Carroll’s goals therefore dovetail not only with forced-birth conservatives but also with forced-marriage conservatives.
Shelby ME 2.2 Turbo Prototype, 2023. The AC 3000ME was first revealed in 1973 but production delays meant it didn't go on sale until 1979. It was a sales disaster, however Americans Barry Gale and Steve Hitter saw potential to repurpose the car for the US market. Carroll Shelby, who was working with Chrysler at the time, became involved. After an abortive attempt to power the car with a Chevrolet V6, it was fitted with a Shelby-tuned turbocharged version of Chrysler's then new 2.2 litre 4-cylinder engine from the K-series. Presented at the Los Angeles Auto Show, Lee Iacocca, Chrysler's chairman, wasn't interesting in pursuing the project and the mid-engined AC-Shelby went no further

And since we're on the topic of Heartbreak High, please go and listen to Ayesha Madon's brilliant new song. I've been playing it nonstop since she released it, and it's easily one of the best songs I've heard this year.
The thoughts of a Hopi about events always include both space and time, for neither is found alone in his world view. Thus his language gets along adequately without tenses for its verbs, and permits him to think habitually in terms of space-time. Properly to understand Einstein's relativity a Westerner must abandon his spoken tongue and take to the language of calculus. But a Hopi, Whorf implies, has a sort of calculus built into him.
