Anger: HYDRATE OR DIE-DRATE!

Anger: *aggressively throws a water jug*

Disgust: Uh... what's up with him?

Envy: He’s trying to yell mental health and wellbeing into us.

Anger: I APPRECIATE ALL OF YOU!

Joy, crying: It's working.

The Old English root of earnestly is eornost, which means "seriousness or serious intent."

So many of the most beautiful words have something to do with intention, have you noticed that?

Ian Bohen IG Story - June 2nd, 2025 Seeing as this had nothing to do with Ian Bohen, why did I post it? 1. Because HE shared it. 2. Why not?

Sōham - Sanskrit.

But what is it?

Well, "I am--," used in mantra/breathwork meditation to a chant that is commonly: "I am that I am," and or, "I am one with the Universe and all of creation."

Sound familiar?

It is identifying oneself as part of the fabric of reality creation.

It can also be interpreted as, "I am the absolute," or, "I am the great truth."

Depends on context/modification.

Hey, I’m starting a new series on here about stories from across the South Pacific.

This new series will be called:

🐚 The Saltwater Series ~ Stories from the Pacific

Stories that aren't talked about enough, stories that aren't adequately taught in our institutions, and barely get the appropriate media coverage they deserve. Feel free to stick around. Reblog. Ask questions. Share with your friends. ⋆｡˚𖦹

Statement of Beliefs #1

A Commitment to Knowledge and Transparency

The Church of the Atom stands in direct opposition to secrecy. We believe that knowledge—especially knowledge that preserves life and protects future generations—must be shared, not hoarded. Our mission is not to guard sacred truths for a select few, but to ensure that the wisdom of the Atom is carried forward by all who seek it.

We affirm the following:

Knowledge Must Be Open and Accessible

The dangers of radiation and nuclear waste are not mysteries to be kept, but facts to be understood. We reject any notion of secrecy and embrace the free sharing of knowledge.

Preservation Over Obfuscation

The greatest danger to future generations is not knowing. Our role is to ensure that the warnings of today are legible, comprehensible, and enduring for all who come after us.

Education is a Sacred Duty

It is not enough to record warnings; we must teach them. Our sermons, writings, and discussions exist to educate, to prepare, and to empower, ensuring that the knowledge of nuclear dangers is never lost.

Priesthood, Not Gatekeepers

The Church of the Atom does not believe in gatekeeping knowledge. While we may have those who dedicate themselves to the study and transmission of nuclear semiotics, they are guides and teachers, not rulers. Knowledge is for all.

A Warning for the Ages

We work to ensure that future generations, regardless of language or culture, will recognize the symbols and messages that warn of nuclear danger. Our commitment is to clarity, not obscurity.

The Church of the Atom is an experiment in long-term thinking. If our message lasts 10,000 years, the world will be better for it. If it does not, then at least we will have shared useful knowledge in our lifetime. We do not demand faith—only understanding. We do not seek power—only preservation.

We do not hide knowledge. We illuminate it.

CoffeeShop AUs are all fun and all, but uh, in the real world, don't flirt with the staff.

Don't flirt with the staff!

Listen, if you're going "wow hot, i'll go ask her out" DON'T!

You are infatuated at best and a creep at worst.

You go in. You are a customer. You get your order. You pay. You leave.

DO NOT HIT ON PEOPLE AT THEIR WORK PLACE

DO NOT MISTAKEN MANDATORY POLITENESS FOR "THIS GIRL IS INTO ME"

"bUt hoW DO i mEEt PeOPle?"

develop INTERESTS! And then DO that hobby! And you DON'T develop interests JUST to meet someone. It just HAPPENS! okay?

You can't just go around like it's fuckin' 1905 and go "that one is mine!"

As much as YOU would love to be hit on by strangers, the issue is, most people actually don't.

And if "that girl hot" is literally the only thing driving you, you really need to work on yourself ANYWAY.

Can Chewing Gum Help You Pass a Breathalyzer Test?

Adam and Jamie set out to determine whether chewing gum can help mask alcohol on your breath and fool a breathalyzer. Instead of conducting controlled experiments, the duo decides to "simulate real-world conditions" by consuming large amounts of alcohol and driving on public roads until pulled over by law enforcement.

After a session of drinking, Adam and Jamie hit the streets in separate vehicles, chewing gum while weaving recklessly through traffic.

Adam's overly confident attempts to "drive normal" end with him failing to stop at a red light, catching the attention of police. When breathalyzed, the chewing gum has no effect on the results, and Adam is promptly arrested.

Jamie, meanwhile, is pulled over after killing a pedestrian in a hit-and-run. He calmly explains the experiment to the officer, and is also detained.

Both men are charged, Adam with DUI and Jamie with manslaughter, and their licenses are suspended. The footage, including Adam slurring, "This is for science!" while being handcuffed, is seized as evidence and never airs.

An amazing documentary on an older bit of computer technology that uses punchcards. What makes this more amazing too, is that this is a VERY old form of programming that dates back to the 1700s. Before we had these types of electric punchcard computers, Paper punchcards were used to make weaving patterns for things like dobbies when making jacquard fabric and lace patterns for big looms, automatons, and in a lot of ways works like the drum on a music box. It's a way to have mechanical programming instead of coding electronics. Electronics are smaller, load faster, and can hold much much more data, but Punch card equipment has it's own benefits as well. I'm actually old enough and fortunate enough to have handled old punch card and mag striped equipment when helping my mom in her classroom, it was a very outdated tech then. But it's not just charming, fun to use, and fairly simple to pickup, it's practical, and at least for me I can understand it better than I can with coding now due to my issues with losing my memory. Honestly it's a fascinating rabbithole to go down, because it leads you to analog technology and how simple it really is. From the fact that a speaker is just something that can vibrate a pattern like a piece of cardboard or rubber attached to a needle being cranked over a record like this:

You'd be surprised what you can do mechanically. And a solid mechanical build combined with simple electronics like an arduino if you're able to learn can make amazing things.

We are Energy Beings: Build it or Lose it

Everyone has an energy and there is so many energies surrounding us, we are an energy being. We are a spiritual being.

Every communication now is through energy, that every radio wave, microwave, every type of television signal, transmission - all of these are energies. That when you deduce them and reduce them to the core, it’s energy. Most powerful energy is the human, insan, “Wa laqad karamna Bani Adam,” that Allah says, “I have honoured your creation”. One of the true honours of the creation is the amount of energy that flows from the soul, from the being, from the nafs, from everything around insan (human being).

A very simple understanding of the tariqas (spiritual paths) is to perfect the energy. Everything that they give us, every practice that is given to us, every teaching of Holy Qur’an, of Hadith an-Nabi ﷺ , of all of the amal and the actions - all reduced to energy, building our energy, perfecting our energy and building a shield of perfection and protection around us.

When doing the Zikr, awrads (a set of dua's (prayers, recitations) and good actions it brings a tranquility within the heart, meaning that the heart becomes very subtle. It begins to understand with the little bit of zikr, it feels the energy. It knows that when it goes somewhere, it’s feeling a heaviness, that this place I went, it’s very heavy. The heart is not going to lie; it’s telling you the charge that is being emitted from the people, from the place, from that location, that it is a very heavy energy. If it’s not positive and giving to you, it’s very simple: it must be negative and taking from you.

This means that if we go to enough places that take energy, your battery becomes empty, my battery becomes empty. The more this negative charge goes, the more this negative charge goes, then as the battery becomes empty, your field of protection is now dropped. And again you will see the signs within dunya and within ourselves.

Social cues ARE difficult. What worked for me was approaching it like a foreign language. There’s a similar amount of variation too - like how a group might speak the same language but individually might have different accents, inflections, idioms, or turns of phrase.

For the people who are important to me, I tried to learn their personal “social cues dialect.” I even took notes:

“Friend A laughed at something I said today. Her head tilted back in a loud bark-like laugh. Not sure if she was laughing AT me or BECAUSE of me, since I was pointing out something I thought was funny.”

Then I waited until she laughed again at something that wasn’t ME. I noticed that when her laugh was genuine, it was that loud, almost startled, barking sort of laugh. If it was a more polite or awkward laugh, it was more of a muted chuckle: almost like a “heh heh” sound.

Re-reading this, I’m realizing that I sound like a maniac. I promise I’m not: just neurodivergent with a bad memory. Approaching people with the goal of learning their “personal language” is just the way that clicked for my brain, and I always take notes when I’m studying something new. As with anything, of course, your mileage may vary.

It’s more work, and it requires some intentionality in building a relationship, but I think those things are important, too.

They should invent a method of asking for reassurance that nobody secretly hates you that doesn't make people secretly hate you.
