Why are the people who deserve to drop dead…still living and breathing and talking shit?
While those we love are dropping like flies?
But I also have to mention this:

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.

Does anyone know why Qatar would want or need an air base in Utah?
Enheduanna – {hiding my head in sand}
I think other countries come to train here, that is routine. But I don’t believe they have actual bases set up…so that is what makes this different. But I have not looked into the specifics of this situation. I can no longer watch or read the news on my own. I just read the news that Boston Boomer and Dakinikat write about here on the blog. That comment up top about the Sound of music and Cabaret…yeah I feel that! Democracy fell so fucking fast! I didn’t expect it to go that quickly. And yes, I am of the opinion that it is over. This static nothingness is going to be a permanent thing. I fear the next step is the rounding up of regular people who are against the Trump regime. As we can see, they are indicting those professionals who are on his hit list.

The U.S. Department of Education fired nearly everyone in the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services in a wave of new layoffs that began Friday, according to the union representing the agency’s employees.
Without an official estimate from the agency, it wasn’t immediately clear how many people in the division were fired. Yet based on reports from staff and their managers, most employees below the leadership level were part of the workforce reduction, said Rachel Gittleman, the president of the American Federation of Government Employees Local 252.
Separately, employees involved in the college access program known as TRIO, which is located in a different office, were also let go, she said.
The firings, which the union has challenged in court, “double down on the harm to K-12 students and schools across the country,” Gittleman told USA TODAY.
