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.

This seems a bit disjointed but maybe it’s just me
And tweetie just called AA citizens “colored”. Grandpa is evidently su downing and needs to go to sleeo!
Matthews was going in very hard on Castro and anyone else who challenged Biden.
He is a menace.
Yeah. That’s because he’s totally vested in chasing those unicorn like white working class guys that both Joe and he had for daddies. They need to start paying attention to who actually votes democrat and move on to that great big working class white guy bar at the retirement center.
I heard that Biden’s idea for parents to help their children learn is to turn off the TV and put something on the record player.
Why are people always running after the latest newfangled whatsit? We had music boxes, in the snow, and we liked it.
(My new Lord’s Prayer: Deliver me from magic grandpas.)
Magic Grandpas. Exactly.
What are Magic Grandpas? I haven’t heard the expression before.
I thought Warren, Booker, Harris and Buttigieg all did well. Castro hurt himself with that snarky challenge to Biden-not a good look.
Buttigieg got a lot of time. I think lil Georgie was trying to give the out side the middle of the stage folks time to do their thing.
Most of the time I think what spoils these debates are the moderators.
I wasn’t able to watch or listen to the debates last night (had an evening work event) but noticed this morning WaPo had the usual “Dems in Disarray” article.
As usual, there were no questions about reproductive rights or really any women’s issues.
We’re over half the population, but oh no, not important enough to warrant even a mention of wage disparity, bodily autonomy, violence against women.
Magdalen Berns is gone.
She was a fiery, brave woman who cut through absurdity in speaking for women’s rights.
So, so terrible. A wonderful, clear, sharp voice. She took no bullshit and no prisoners.
I want another world where all these awful diseases are gone.
