Last month was the 4th warmest April on record globally. It was also the 7th warmest April for global land areas and the 2nd warmest for ocean areas. Overall, about 7.4% of Earth’s surface recorded its warmest April on record. All 10 of the warmest Aprils have occurred since the year 2016.

A mind that has no walls, that is not burdened with its own acquisitions, accumulations, with its own knowledge, a mind that lives timelessly, insecurely – to such a mind, life is an extraordinary thing. Such a mind is life itself, because life has no resting place. But most of us want a resting place; we want a house, a name, a position, and we say these things are very important. We demand permanence and create a culture based on this demand, inventing gods that are not gods at all but merely projections of our own desires. A mind that is seeking permanency soon stagnates; like that pool along the river, it is soon full of corruption and decay. Only the mind which has no walls, no foothold, no barrier, no resting place, which is moving completely with life, timelessly pushing on, exploring, exploding, only such a mind can be happy, eternally new, because it is creative in itself.

To read the pages of the past, you must know yourself in the present, for through the present the past is revealed. With you is the key that opens the door to reality; none can offer it, for it is yours. Through your own awareness, you can open the door; through your own self-awareness only can you read the rich volume of self-knowledge, for in it are the hints and the openings, the hindrances and the blockages that prevent and yet lead to the timeless, to the eternal.

Over one million citizens signed the petition to ban conversion practices.

We hear you.

And our reply is firm:
✋🏼These interventions must end.

Being LGBTIQ+ doesn’t need to be cured.

Yet, conversion practices, relying on the false idea that LGBTIQ+ people are sick, still exist and are causing long-lasting psychological and physical damage.

Your rights are an inseparable part of a true Union of Equality.

We won’t let you down.🏳️‍🌈

A very welcome stance and statement.

However: "The European Commission will not enact an EU-wide ban on conversion therapy aimed at changing or suppressing the identity of LGBTQ+ people but will urge countries to outlaw it nationally, in response to a major citizens' petition."

I have recently created two tools for promoting your favorite fediverse communities. (And you can even use them together!)

The first one lets you create a customizable invitation page with your favorite apps and starter packs (collections will be supported soon!): stefanbohacek.com/project/fedi…

And also the Join the Fediverse zine, with the last page allowing you to link to your custom invitation.

jointhefediverse.net/zine

Hope you will all find these useful!

Recognition implies the experiencer, and the experiencer is always of time. To recognise something, thought must have experienced it; and if it has experienced it, then it is the known. The known is not the timeless. The known is always within the net of time. Thought cannot know the timeless; it is not a further acquisition, a further achievement; there is no going towards it. It is a state of being in which thought, time, is not.

To die to the known is to have no continuity of yesterday. That which has continuance is only memory. What has no continuity is neither permanent nor impermanent. Permanency or continuity comes into being only when there is fear of transiency. Can there be an ending of consciousness as continuity, a dying to the total feeling of becoming without gathering again in the very act of dying? There is this feeling of becoming only when there is the memory of what has been and what should be, and then the present is used as a passage between the two. Dying to the known is the complete stillness of the mind.
