News:

Bigotry is abound, apprently, within these boards.  There is a level of supposed tolerance I will have no part of.  Obviously, it seems to be well-embraced here.  I have finally found something more fucked up than what I'm used to.  Congrats. - Ruby

Good fucking christ, howl, whoever that is had it coming but every time I see someone crying it hurts me...

Her policies while Home Office Minister saw British citizens being deported to places like Jamaica because of ridiculous burdens of proof placed on people to show that they lived here.

It also saw 90,000 students banned from entering the country and branded cheaters without due process.

It saw vans driving around ethnic minority areas of London telling immigrants to "go home", echoing some very vile 1970s racist propaganda.

And all that was before she became PM.

Don't feel sorry for her.
Yeah, ^^^ this. I get it - other people's pain upsets me but also? Sometimes they fucking deserve it. She is reaping what she has sown.

Been my longest hiatus since I first stumbled across these boards over 10 years ago.

I think my last update was I fell off a mountain and didn't die? Specifically this

Two years later, well, finished the degree finally. Got engaged. Currently interviewing for new job. Still in Denver.

Until next time.
We appear to be doomed by our DNA to repeat the same destructive behaviors our forebears have repeated for millenia. If anything our problem solving skills have actually diminished with the advent of technology & our ubiquitous modern conveniences. & yet despite our predisposition towards fear-driven hostility; towards what we anachronistically term primitive behavior another instinct is just as firmly encoded in our make-up. We are capable as our ancestors were of incredible breathtaking acts of kindness. Every hour of every day a man risks his life at a moments notice to save another. Forget for a moment the belligerent benevolent billionaires who grant the unfortunate a crumb of costfree cake. I speak of pure acts of selflessness. A Mother who rushes into the street to save a child from a speeding vehicle. A person who runs into a burning building to reach a family trapped on the upper story. Such actions,such moments,such unconscious selfless decisions,define what it is to be human

There is no reason to,
Be ashamed of poetry. It,
Is natural. But you should,
Still do it in private,
And wash your hands afterward.

I just bought my fourth copy of the Rubiyyat of Omar Khayyam. I'm starting to feel like Mel Gibson in Conspiracy Theory, collecting all those copies of Catcher in the Rye. It's such a beautiful poem though!

Right now I'm reading this book about Sufism by Idries Shah, and he syas that Omar Khayyam hid an esoteric message in the poem. Some aspects of this Sufic reading it were lost in the Fitzgerald "translation", but some remain. I just learned that Idries Shah created his own translation of the original Rubiyyat, which preserves the Sufic meaning. So I had to have it.

Soon (ie when I finish reading about him), I'm going to make a thread about the original Omar Khayyam. It's interesting -- it's very likely that teenage Kerry Thornely was not aware of the mystical depth of this name he chose, I suspect he just loved that so many of the poems are about getting drunk. But who knows. There's a lot of interesting stuff here which may tell us something about Discordia too.

I sometimes feel that Discordians at their best are really just shitty Sufis.

I had some shitty Sufi once. Gave me the runs. That's the last time I get mine from a gas station.
