About our Banner
The Sky Dancing banner headline uses a snippet from a work by artist Tashi Mannox called 'Rainbow Study'. The work is described as a" study of typical Tibetan rainbow clouds, that feature in Thanka painting, temple decoration and silk brocades". dakinikat was immediately drawn to the image when trying to find stylized Tibetan Clouds to represent Sky Dancing. It is probably because Tashi's practice is similar to her own. His updated take on the clouds that fill the collection of traditional thankas is quite special.
You can find his work at his website by clicking on his logo below. He is also a calligraphy artist that uses important vajrayana syllables. We encourage you to visit his on line studio.

“RESIST, INSIST, PERSIST, ENLIST.” - HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON

When will enough be enough? We do need to empty Trump’s swamp!
Trump is responsible for this. He’s a stochastic terrorist.
OK I’ve been hiding in my lady-cave binge-watching teevee and now I’m out – and El Paso is OLD news????
That is twisted beyond the pale. Can’t wait for Dump’s eloquent response.
To clarify, I was binge-watching my soapy programs – not cable news.
A refresher from earlier this year:
https://shareblue.com/senators-slam-trump-doj-for-working-to-hide-white-supremacist-terrorism/
This needs to be shoved back in their faces.
He was wearing body armor. Why are military assault weapons and body armor sold here? The only reason to wear body armor is if you’re planning to resist being shot at by the police.
Though maybe black men going about their everyday business should be wearing wearing body armor instead of white male terrorists.
Guys I am bringing this up from below because I really want to emphasize the fact that this is not happening in a vacuum, where ever hateful racist demagogues and their pathetic deplorable minions are normalized and “sympathized” with, this is what follows. Fuck these racist pieces of shit. Trump and the Klan show up in south central Ohio and within weeks right wing shooting spree. I don’t want to hear another word about white working class occupational insecurity.

I was born and raised in Dayton. I used to hang out in the Oregon District.
It was a trendy area with clubs, restaurants, shops and theaters.
Everybody hung out there black white whatever. Kind of like a central Ohio version of The Village. I never felt unsafe.
That was in the 80’s though. I do not think it is coincidence that the Klan rallied in Dayton last month.
My sister the activist lead counter protests and I was worried but I consoled myself that I is Dayton after all, not someplace really dangerous.
To quote the main ingredient, “Everybody plays the fool sometime.”
I am proud of my sister and her fellow activists who stood up to evil without fear.
Sideline time is over, we are in a war and if we don’t fight back the war is already lost.

Oh yeah Der Fuhrer himself was just in Ohio days ago
Stumping for four more years of the Turd Reich.
Ron, I hope your brave sister and all with her will be safe.
Have these WWC people ever looked at the employment statistics for Black people? Millions of people have occupational insecurity and don’t commit mass shootings. It’s so illogical and it’s steeped in callousness to blame innocent people who want asylum and a better life here when it’s corrupt fraudulent traitorous Trump and his ilk who are sucking the life blood out of everyday Americans. Look at the average wage compared to the average CEO’s income over the past 50 years. It’s immoral.
Trump’s inciting and encouraging other white nationalists because he wants to draw attention away from the shit he’s doing. He wants to unit them in hatred. It is repugnant and frightening.
Yeah, I’m tired of living in Trump’s race war zone too.
I’m actually afraid the Dayton shooter might’ve been made at his sister’s boyfriend because he considered it race mixing which also explains why the diverse group of people killed at the club. In any other reality, that wouldn’t even come into my head but that’s the first thing I thought … what does that say ?
Yeah, me too.
“Turd Reich” Another perfect term!
And it works so well with the sixty-four dollar version, kakistocracy. 😀
(Where would we be without gallows humor?)
this deserves to go viral:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/a-presidential-president-could-do-something-about-mass-shootings-heres-how/2019/08/04/ddd5f72e-b6d4-11e9-b3b4-2bb69e8c4e39_story.html?utm_term=.e3467e124179
The press just needs to keep at this. The occupant of the White House is a White Nationalist. He’s a racist. He’s a misogynist. He’s a clear and present danger to our country.
,,, and so does this:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/on-guns-and-white-nationalism-one-side-is-right-and-one-is-wrong/2019/08/04/ef2bdbc2-b6e5-11e9-b3b4-2bb69e8c4e39_story.html?utm_term=.ffd4c9ec0e96
This is similar to what PM Jacinda Ardern said in New Zealand, and accomplished in only a few days after a mass shooting there. It can be done.
We can’t do what New Zealand did unless we can repeal the 2nd amendment or get a better SCOTUS. However, strict gun laws have worked very well in Massachusetts despite the fact the Bernie’s Vermonters keep bringing their guns down here to sell illegally. Democratic governors should follow the examples of states like MA and CT.
Okay, today in wtf?
Bernie can keep his similarity to Trump hidden for only so long.
That’s a clear admission that he’s been inciting violence.
Don’t know about that because I’m not sure they’d care. Likelier that they’ve realized it’s not playing so well this time.
It’s both.
There is that.
Gabbard has been saying Kamala has made up stuff about Assad. Apparently Assad is a sweetheart in real life and has been so misunderstood by Americans.
I read A Return to Love back in the day. I enjoyed it. I though tit was insightful. I even found some useful ideas in A Course in Miracles. I do not dislike Marianne Williamson.
That said, I feel like there is something very Jill Steiny about Marianne Williamson’s candidacy. Like Gabbards I fear that she is there to sow chaos and undermine the prospects of the eventual nominee. Or perhaps to help ensure that the “intended” nominee is selected.
I do not have evidence, it is just that sense of WTF is she doing there?
