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.

W00T! (What takes them so long?)
Whether it takes that long for Twitter to suspend you depends entirely on what you tweet. Death and rape threats to women…pretty much never. COVID mis-info apparently it takes months. But tweet that gays and lesbians don’t actually owe their rights to trans identified males…insta-ban. Ask me how I know.
MTG is a terrible human being. But twitter is a cesspool. It needs to be burned to the ground and the earth salted so nothing grows there again.
Yep. Twitter censors are misogynist woke boys. Talk about LGB without the T (since same-sex orientation isn’t a personality preference), or biology, or how ‘intersex’ (more accurately V/DSDs) are medical conditions and not a sex-class hybrid, and it’s ZOMG you’re hateful and should die in a dumpster fire.
Or blathering on about how vaccines don’t work, and it’s all a government plot and freedumb means you can infect others — like the guy I made the mistake of wasting time presenting evidence to last night did — and crickets.
But Twitter is a private company and can do what it likes.
This weirdness that private companies get to ignore people’s rights, because private!, is one of the most bizarre new developments.
Using that principle, the civil rights sit-ins to integrate lunch counters in the South should never have worked. “Sorry, bub. Private property. Your rights are only good at the DMV and the Post Office.” And after DeJoy, not even the Post Office.
Unfortunately, she still has her official House account so she can still tweet.
Glad to hear that!!!
Great news!
Wow. I wonder who blabbed.
Ivanka? Trying to salvage her rep?
With that crew of ghouls, could be anybody I guess.
I am more and more impressed with Liz Cheney. Never thought I’d say this.
That’s from CNN
then here too:
Mansplaining childbirth and women getting orgasms simply by men climaxing. How did we all miss out on this?
Obviously knows nothing about childbirth, and I’ll bet all his partners faked orgasm to get it over with.
That’s what pros get paid to do because now way he could get it any other way. Go check out his thread. It’s a horrifying display of misogny. He should lose his Twitter account.
This inability to distinguish fantasy from reality is getting severely out of hand. Guy needs to step slowly away from his porn and get out more.
