Good morning. I am feeling a bit loopy lately, the neurologist doubled my seizure medication…they don’t call it Dopamax for nothing. So please bear with me…

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.

I CD an only imagine what on disasters trump will cause today. I’m going to go back to bed.
I have to bundle up the trash and take it out. I’ve now declared it Trump Trash Day. I will be visualizing a lot of Trumperz as I throw these huge cardboard boxes in the recycle bin. I may start cartooning faces on them.
Kinda bad when the Swiss feel the need to protest your government.
The Daily Reid: The government is already shut down. How do you shut down a government that’s already being dismantled? Call your Senator and tell them to stop playing and put an end to the Trump, Elon, doge madness.

“The question is not “will the government shut down on Saturday…” the question is, how can you shut down a government that’s already been dismantled? The truth of the matter is, the federal government is already shut down. Trump, Elon Musk and the doge gang began shutting it down on January 20th, and they’ve manage to largely accomplish that goal, while pushing us to a near recession, in just two months. A few items:
The Department of Education yesterday cut half its staff, as his first step toward dismantling the department under the “leadership” of that woman from World Wrestling. Surprise, surprise: the National Education Association says the consequences of Republicans achieving their decades-long dream of deleting the Education Department would be borne largely by disabled students:
“Ninety percent of U.S. students and 95% of students with disabilities learn in our public schools. Students across the country benefit from programs run by the Department of Education. Eliminating the department, National Education Association President Becky Pringle said this week, was equivalent to “giving up on our future.”
“If it became a reality,” Pringle said, “Trump’s power grab would steal resources for our most vulnerable students, explode class sizes, cut job training programs, make higher education more expensive and out of reach for middle class families, take away special education services for students with disabilities, and gut student civil rights protections.”
Ending the Department, which was created by congress under President Jimmy Carter over Republican objections (and which only congress could dissolve) would spell the end of federal protections for students against racial, gender and gender identity discrimination, and would cripple the administration of federal student loans. Those consequences are described and summarized here.”

Elon Musk’s Daughter Accuses Him Of Using IVF To Only Have Male Kids
“How the f**k is this legal,” Vivian Wilson questioned in a social media post.
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/elon-musk-daughter-ivf-male-kids_n_67d1a327e4b098ffbc39ede0
“Elon Musk’s daughter, Vivian Wilson, has accused the tech billionaire of allegedly using sex-selective IVF for his kids.
“My assigned sex at birth was a commodity that was bought and paid for. So when I was feminine as a child and then turned out to be transgender, I was going against the product that was sold,” Wilson, 20, wrote in a Threads post on Monday.”
Wow
Good points. I miss her.
