Uspol, covid, capitalism

consider this:

- psychologist: breathe calmly, accept your feelings, relax your muscles, love yourself
- singing teacher: breathe calmly, open up the space inside you, relax your shoulders, trust your breath
- SCUBA instructor: open up the spaces inside your throat and head to equalize pressure, relax, breathe calmly so your air lasts.
- PT: relax your neck, pull your shoulders back and down, be tall
- derby coach: don't hang on your muscles, relax your body, focus on smooth motions and breathe

Look at this, these are all Lockdown Landscapes I did. Until now. #mastoArt #creativeToot #traditionalArt

Painting in the morning is wonderful. Should do it more often.
Here are parts XVII and XVIII of the Lockdown Landscapes. #mastoArt #creativeToot #traditionalArt

Hätte jemand in Karlsruhe Interesse an Tomatensetzlingen (1x Ochsenherz, 1x Andenhörnchen) und/oder Grünlilienablegern?

Samo Rane - Azadi EP fundraising for refugees at camp Moria

At Camp Moria in Greece conditions getting worse and worse. People who are confined there, are left to their own device. You might imagine what this means in terms of receiving water, food and medication.
Therefor we’ve decided to donate the whole income of our EP called Azadi (freedom) to the LIFELINE project who are doing great work down there, to help our brothers and sisters to survive. #savethem #lifeline

I wonder if there are any #foldingathome teams that I could join. I don't have strong hardware or much time where I can let the client crunch ahead on full steam, but still, I guess every bit helps?

Being well networked with lovely people is great but that also means a ton of people I know are key workers through this pandemic. I just spoke with someone and they told me the official advice for if an elderly person in a care home gets infected. I won't tell you the details because it would be too upsetting. It's horrifically bleak.
Keep this lockdown locked down and take it real fucking seriously please.

When I was in Togo, West Africa, learning Moba, the language of the region I was visiting, we learned that proper greetings contained a long back and forth, inquiring after family members and even lifestock (compared to the quick US "how're YOU doing?")

I find myself now starting or closing work emails with health well wishes for the recipient and their family.

I feel it now, in a way I didn't fully grasp back then, a need to express our shared fragility and extend kindness.
