I like this rock

 

How does this happen?

'Earth has previously captured other temporary mini-moons, such as Asteroid 2020 CD3. Although that asteroid was first spotted whirling around Earth in February 2020 and departed a couple of months later, research showed it had orbited our planet for a few years before being detected.'

-from a Friday Sept 20th CNN article, A space rock is about to become Earth's new 'mini-moon'.

Undetected for a few years?  Seems like with all these telescopes and Earth citizen eyes, we'd notice.  It's kinda nice we aren't detecting so hard, but also, I have a need for UFO info. So keep a lookout!

The article says we will have a flyby asteroid that will orbit the earth from September 29th to November 25th.  They can be precise about that, and future flybys:

'But the space rock is expected to make a close flyby of Earth from 1.1 million miles (1.7 million kilometers) away on January 9, 2025, before “leaving the neighborhood of Earth shortly afterwards, until its next return in 2055,” according to the study.

And when Asteroid 2024 PT5 comes back around again, astronomers expect it to become Earth’s mini-moon for a few days in November 2055 and again for a few weeks in early 2084.'

Math and observation are two different things. :0)

Oh my god I found a new curiosity, wrapped into another curiosity!

I was trying to find this Jim Duke that an herbalist Kat Maier was talking about in Rosemary Gladstar's Inner Views series about him visiting the Amazon to prove to science about some wizards or something?  It piqued my interest to explore.  I thought I found him and after reading a few things, I was for sure going to post about him.  However, I'm nearly pretty sure that the Jim Duke to whom she was referring died in 2018. But this other Jim Duke, who has also visited the Amazon and... perhaps.. also looked for wizards too?--is alive.  His memoir just came out within the last year or so.

Jim Duke....submitted into the tomes of Periodical Curiosity...

I love his early thoughts, schemes on psychedelics -- I'm dying about the visual of mirror travel!

Reading Carlos Castaneda, I started believing I could learn to ‘mind travel’ to the extent that, if so desired, I could, for example, pop up in a mirror in a friend’s house across the country merely to surprise them. I also thought I might learn to fly and shape shift. I had great expectations.

--excerpt from this awesome post

His bio speaks to my roots. 

Dropping out of high school to pursue the life of a cowboy in Texas, Jim Duke eventually bullshitted his way into college and attended University of Wyoming and University of Texas before finally earning a BS in Zoology and MS in Range Science on Mountain Goat Habitat in Alaska, both from Colorado State University.

Largely unemployable, he works on an ‘as tolerated’ basis mostly dealing with equines and compost. His only professional writing experience came from a brief employment with the Roaring Fork Weekly Journal writing a column called “Kiss My Ass.”

We're not no Red Football for U(.S. Govt)

 

I'm not no red football
To be kicked around the garden
No no

I'm a red christmas-tree ball
And I'm fragile

I'm not no animal
Though I am to you

I'm not no crocodile
Like the one in dublin zoo
Who lived in a cage
The length and breadth of his body
With a window which people would look through
And throw coins on his back to taunt him
Though he couldn't move
Even if he wanted to

Well, I'm not no animal in the zoo
I'm not no whipping boy for you

You may not treat me like you do

I'm not no animal in the zoo

My skin is not a football for you

My head is not a football for you

My body's not a football for you

My womb is not a football for you

My heart is not a football for you

I'm not no animal in the zoo
See, this animal will jump up and eat you
I'm not no animal in the zoo

And I've every intention-

Of leaping up
and Get-ting YOU!

LALA LALA LALA LALA LALA LALA LALA LAH!
LALA LALA LALA LALA LALA LALA LALA LAH!
LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA!
LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA!

I love you earth

 Yoko Ono is my earth representative to the universe, may this be pushed out in space as an ode

I love you Earth, you are beautiful, I love the way you are I know I never said it to you but I wanna say it now I love you, I love you, I love you Earth I love you, I love you, I love you now I love you, Earth, you are beautiful, I love the way you shine I love your valleys, I love your mornings, in fact I love you every day I know I never said it to you, why I'd never know Over blue mountains, over green fields, I wanna scream about it now I love you, I love you, I love you Earth I love you, I love you, I love you now You are our meeting point of infinity You are our turning point in eternity I love you, I love you, I love you Earth I love you, I love you, I love you Earth I love you, I love you, I love you now

Age of being Premature about Aging

“I think it’s premature at this stage to say that rapamycin is the drug you should take to reduce the negative effects of aging,” Volpi said.

Ideas for pandemic remembrance in US

The first week of March-- if possible, stay home, no or low purchasing, less car travel, a paid National Holiday, or Holi-week of rest for our part of the continent and all beings on it
A lockdown on our terms

Busts of people who perished during the pandemic gathered in their homelands, employ artists

Family, friends, neighbors can hold wake, touch the statue, bring flowers, picnic, mourn, grieve

Homemade paper with native flower seeds gifted to those who lost family members to Covid to write/draw thoughts, feelings, memories, share current life and leave on or around the bust

Tai chi or some type of collective movement (a sing along concert?) in this memorial park

My mistake, it was discriminate killing

 The vehicles had a clearly visible WCK logo on their roofs so that the military would be aware the cars were full of aid workers. WCK said it was also in constant communication with Israeli military and civilian officials so that they were aware of the vehicles’ movements.

“It was a direct attack on clearly marked vehicles whose movements were known by the Israel Defense Forces,” Andrés wrote. “It was also the direct result of a policy that squeezed humanitarian aid to desperate levels.”

With WCK and some other aid groups suspending operations out of safety and Israel blocking entry into Gaza for the U.N. agency tasked with helping Palestinians, there is very little hope that remaining families in the enclave will have the resources to survive.

“I have been a stranger at Seder dinners. I have heard the ancient Passover stories about being a stranger in the land of Egypt, the commandment to remember ― with a feast before you ― that the children of Israel were once slaves,” Andrés wrote.

“It is not a sign of weakness to feed strangers; it is a sign of strength. The people of Israel need to remember, at this darkest hour, what strength truly looks like.”
