dreams and memories...: Law vs. Responsibility
http://spindulys.blogspot.com/2013/09/law-vs-responsibility.html
Swimming round a fishbowl inside my own head. Law vs. Responsibility. I think that this view of things is, in fact, very harmful. There are several effects it has that cause a lot of problems in society, make us feel justified in harming each other, and provide a lot of power and profit for the people making up the laws.

dreams and memories...: The Convenience of Closeness.
http://spindulys.blogspot.com/2013/12/the-convenience-of-closeness.html
Swimming round a fishbowl inside my own head. The Convenience of Closeness. As I tend to do, I've thought about a lot of things with relation to our life since we've moved to another part of Portland. We're now living in the only part of Portland that is still really dense mixed residential and commercial (the strict downtown core is still mixed residential and commercial, but not that many people still live there, relatively). Of course it's a matter of priorities. This type of area may not be the b...

Swimming round a fishbowl inside my own head. When we break at the core, we weep. A serious title for a not so serious post. Thursday morning, I was riding to work and I was nearly there. I was stopped at a stoplight (yes, contrary to popular belief, people on bicycles stop at stoplights nearly as much as people in cars). So, I threw the pedal in my pannier and walked the rest of the way to work, locked my bike up, and went to work as usual. Posted by Melancholic Optimist. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

dreams and memories...: Pretty Hurts
http://spindulys.blogspot.com/2014/01/pretty-hurts.html
Swimming round a fishbowl inside my own head. Song written by Sia. I've seen a number of reactions to this song, ranging from "ugly hurts more" to "she's brave for putting this out there, because beautiful people are seen as privileged by society and we assume they don't hurt.". It's gotten me thinking a lot, and the song has been running through my head often since I heard the full thing. I think, firstly, both the above responses to the song kind of miss the point. The fix for this is not easy, and it ...

Swimming round a fishbowl inside my own head. We Are What We Are. There is no one 'type' that is attractive to everyone. No particular breast size, bust-waist-hip combination, length of penis, amount of or lack of body hair in any particular region, skin tone, or muscle tone will make you the winning combination for all people who you might be attracted to. Even within a single person's mind, attraction is not so singular. When was the last time you talked to someone who only. So here's the point of all ...

dreams and memories...: Swifts
http://spindulys.blogspot.com/2013/09/swifts.html
Swimming round a fishbowl inside my own head. Last night we watched approximately 4,620 vaux swifts swirl around the air and then dive into the chimney of the old boiler at Chapman School in NW Portland. As the hawk was attempting to find dinner for itself, the swifts started, in small groups, swirling down the chimney like a genie being sucked back into its bottle. The remaining large group of swifts continued to fend off the hawk, as if the group were sending escape pods into the chimney.

Swimming round a fishbowl inside my own head. Language is only meant for small things, like asking for more tea, or telling the postman that your package is fragile. It can sometimes be stretched for things like telling someone they mean a lot to you, or expressing anger at injustice. Even in those cases, you feel the unheard tremors more than you understand the words. The Connections Between Things. No," said the little prince. "I am looking for friends. What does that mean – 'tame'? You don't know a ro...

dreams and memories...: Responsibility.
http://spindulys.blogspot.com/2013/12/responsibility.html
Swimming round a fishbowl inside my own head. You'll never teach anyone to be responsible if you always let them off the hook for being irresponsible, just because they weren't being maliciously.
