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.

Ghislaine Maxwell barred from service dog training at cushy prison camp
“We do not allow anyone whose crime involves abuse towards minors or animals — including any crime of a sexual nature,” the CEO of Canine Companions said.
There will be no puppy love for Ghislaine Maxwell at her new home.
The longtime Jeffrey Epstein confidant and convicted sex trafficker will get to enjoy a number of perks at the cushy prison camp in Texas where she was transferred last week, but training service dogs won’t be one of them.
The chief executive of Canine Companions, the organization that runs the programs at Maxwell’s new institution and others, told NBC News that the puppy training is off limits to inmates like Maxwell.
“We do not allow anyone whose crime involves abuse towards minors or animals — including any crime of a sexual nature,” said Paige Mazzoni, who has been leading Canine Companions since 2018. “That’s a hard policy we have, so she will not be able to.”
Those restrictions are in place, Mazzoni added, to protect the puppies.
“Those are crimes against the vulnerable, and you’re putting them with a puppy who is vulnerable,” she said.
Maxwell was moved to Federal Prison Camp Bryan after meeting with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche for nine hours of interviews over two days. The unusual question-and-answer session was set up as the Trump administration has sought to quell an uproar over its handling of the Epstein case.
I worry about what Trump will do with her “testimony “
so I just want to post a few things…bullshit things:
Isn’t it illegal for us to target the leaders of other countries?
