>I present to you part 1 of my live set from Friday night at Geodesic. I opened for Quincy Jones, Von Gage, Mic Crenshaw, Gaia Experiment, and @AlaisClay. This event was an essential linking of tribes between Oregon and Colorado within the revolutionary conscious Hip-Hop movement.
>Before I began my set, I explained what conscious revolutionary Hip-Hop meant to the crowd, as it occurred to me that many people had seen those words in the promo for the event, but did not actually understand their meaning. I then led into a spoken word piece I wrote that is called Life is a Dream. I then threw down my first track of the evening that was also a guided meditation called Breathe.

>We do not celebrate Christmas in our house truck, and luckily where I live, there is not too much of a big deal made about it. I have however been spurred on with the idea to create something made from recycled products to sell at the Christmas market. Yes I know I don't celebrate it but here I am trying to make money from it. Bit of a hypocrite perhaps? But as things are I am seizing the day, I need to make an income, in such a way that allows me to stay at home with my girls.

>I've loved through a lot of unusual experiences in this life and some of them have helped me understand what I consider to be the true nature of Christ.. So here's my angle on the important issue of who we really are.
It's that time of year again, where flashing lights means sales of plastic objects go through the roof.. Wait? what? I have come across some insights about the nature of Christ and as far as I am aware, our own true nature. In this video I am sharing some important info that connects many aspects of life and our own soul/spirit/self together in a harmonious and non religious way. Injoy!

>#FarmsNotPharms vol. 1
By Brent ‘BURNTmd’ Kaufman of GuerillaHealer
You may be wondering how anyone in our right mind can give cannabis to an animal!? Well, in this special Cannacon edition of #FarmsNotPharms, we swan dive with a twist into the rabbit hole known as the wonderful world of cannabis, as it pertains to the application for some our favorite furry friends! Though, before I outline the 7 Easy Steps, let’s answer 3 frequently asked questions.
WHY WOULD I EVER GIVE MY PET POT?
Whenever people wonder why cannabis is considered beneficial, my answer is always the same; we all have an Endocannabinoid system! This blessing of a discovery has proven to help our body regulate our immune system, neurological system, digestive system, and more!

>They started falling from the tree before I even noticed them, it having been a crazy busy few weeks with almost no daylight garden time and they being incredibly well camouflaged.
Averrhoa bilimbi. Originates in Malaysia and Indonesia, but now so assimilated it's considered indigenous and proudly claimed as a Thai medicine food.
The best part about the first year living in a 100 year old Thai traditional kitchen-medicine garden is (despite everything needing hacking down with a machete cos it grows soooo fast) is that every week something unexpected happens. Like the bilimbi fruit. In Thai, called ตะลิงปลิง (dtaling pling). One day a few weeks ago it was just a raggedy, non-specific tree getting in the way (and needing pruning) every time I tried to hang out the laundry in between monsoonal deluges.

>As many of you already know, February brings with it a series of events in Acapulco, Mexico, bringing together anarchists from around the world. This year marks the 5th Anarchapulco, the 2nd Anarchaforko, and the first Anarchawakening... meaning a fun-filled couple of weeks in the "most dangerous city in the world" (it's not really)
I was blessed enough to attend the first Anarchapulco in 2015, and have since been back every winter, becoming more immersed in the community and more involved in the events there. Last year was the first @Anarchaforko, an open-source, DIY anarchist conference started by @lily-da-vine.

>There is so much we all do that is meant to give us the pleasure of that delicious sense of progress.
At least, those of us who were raised to believe that productivity is a virtue, are always trying to accomplish something. It's as if we think we need to prove our worth, because we have no intrinsic value. And with no intrinsic value, we have no intrinsic safety.
As a child, we are so dependent on the adults around us that we really would die if they decided we weren't worth taking care of. And while I doubt there are many parents who would literally stop feeding and housing their 3 year olds because they don't pick up their toys, the 3 year old doesn't have that clarity. They just have a sense of impending danger when mommy or daddy is mad at them. This is a survival instinct.

>I'm a Christmas Grinch, right up until the Christmas Eve where I crank 'A Swinging Christmas', which has a fabulous sexy title but is just Frank Sinatra and crooning seasonal tunes, and panic about the meal I'm meant to make for our night before the 25th family dinner, find a pretty frock and race up the local supermarket for a bottle of prosecco to share with my Mum, Aunt and sister, who will likely drink too much of it.
>Why I Hate Christmas - Mostly
One of the reasons I loathe Christmas is because of the dreadful gluttony, overspending and waste. I can hear the planet groan like a grandfather sliding back into his chair and loosening his belt after far too much rum soaked, ice cream laden pudding.

>Unschooling is an education model that cultivates independent thought by allowing the learner to choose what they learn about.
This way of learning caters to the individual and their unique interests rather than having that individual submit to some educational structure or set of imposed guidelines.
Unschooling is growing in popularity today in places like the United States and Denmark.
More parents are becoming interested in creating a learning experience and environment for their children that will fuel their unique interests and abilities.

>Our witch hazel bloomed this year for the first time, so I am very jazzed, though a but disappointed that the blooms don't have the remarkable and bewitching fragrance I'd been led to expect.
I suppose I was expecting something akin to the male papaya tree I had in my front yard in Largo, Florida, which had an exquisite and pungent fragrance, and in bloom it literally perfumed our whole street.
Far from perfuming the neighborhood, witch hazel's lovely flowers are only lightly fragrant, and only when very close. But then, their highly fragranced period may be early in the morning, as every time I smelled them this season it was later in the afternoon, so time will tell.

<center><h1>@taskmaster4450</h1></center>
>Are we at the beginnings of a revolution?
We often hear this term thrown around yet do we really look at how things unfold?
To start, a revolution is not a singular event. They can take a long time, sometimes going on for a century. It is usually a back and forth between two sides.
For a revolution to be successful, one needs to think in terms of survival. It is only from that viewpoint that success can be achieved. Many revolutions took place only to fail. When there is complacency, the will to give up is present.

>The crypto-world is being tested like never before in the 18 months I have been in the scene. A price of 23 cents USD for one Steem is incredibly low and a true test for all of us. In times like these it is great to ask yourself: How much do you love Steem?
Is Steem for you just another tool to make money? A foot into the door of cryptocurrency? An alternative to censorship on centralized social media? A new form of networking through rewards?
To me, Steem is a revolution in human interaction, that brings us closer together. For the first time in our history, we are able to discover the beauty of the other in a way, that allows us to show our appriciation via a clever reward system.

>"Let them eat carbon!" said French President Emmanuel Macron this week, offering his peasants a six-month reprieve on their coming carbon sin tax. And, kicking his feet up on his desk at the Élysée Palace, he breathed a sigh of relief. He had bought himself some time to figure out how to deal with the rabble at the gates. But how much time?
Not much at all, it turns out. As of press time, the yellow jackets have announced their intention to proceed with "Act 4" of their protests this weekend, and the government has responded by announcing its decision to close the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, and other tourism landmarks on Saturday. Meanwhile, Paris, for its part, is bracing for another weekend of violence and street battles.

>Release? Or revival?
It may be time to pick yourself up and start over -- especially regarding some important relationships you've been involved with for quite some time. The New Moon is a new roll of Life's Dice in the first place -- and while Sagittarius energy is less involved with other people and partners than Libra, Life has conspired to put this issue square on the table for you ... and me ... and all of us ... to reconsider and work on.
(Something that happened back in Libra -- September 21 - October 21 -- may have inspired this. If your memory goes back that far ... and I know ... sometimes it's a stretch to remember -- was there a particular incident then that brought "relationship issues" to your attention?)

>When the hit movie came out in 2000, being the Leo super-fan I was, I fell in love with the dreamy blues of the water and vowed one day I would visit Thailand to see it myself. Apparently I wasn't the only one!
Armed with a mission to get myself to that beach even if it meant swimming and making my way through the same dangerous path the trio did in the film, flash forward and to this day, I have been here twice. The problem with that is, so has every one and their dog. See, with the movie being so popular and the beach being so gorgeous, everyone wants to come here and whenever everyone comes, so does all their garbage and baggage (in every way possible.)

>"If digging deeper is a goal, how does asking 'why' not achieve that?"
Great question! I've actually never heard this one before. Digging deeper and knowing WHY is actually super important and a big part of what NVC is about. So when we are practicing empathy, we stay away from asking people why, I see why that seems like a contradiction.
When we say to someone, "Why did you do that?" it is not "violent" communication. It's just asking for information. If they choose to get butthurt because we asked them why, that is their issue, right?
OK so that's technically not a "bad" question to ask a person if they are complaining. It also isn't empathy.

>The times that we live in are unique. Energy speeds up and changes happen rapidly in all areas of our lives. We walk, run, talk, think, eat, smile, shout, exercise – and many other physical acts – at a very quick pace. Life is moving around us in swirling motion. New sensual stimuli flood our perceptions every moment and demand that we give them our attention – reject or accept. Such times demand therefore a careful and sharp decision-making mechanism.
Making decisions in a chaotic world
Make your eye single – indeed, this proverb is truer today than it was 2000 years ago when it was coined. The focus of mind and thought are very crucial. First, focus your mind in the spacious now present. To be here and now and to return your awareness each time it has drifted away to the past or to the future.
