And Yet It Moves: The Importance of Truth in Fiction
“And yet it moves”
One of my favorite quotes is an apocryphal one, attributed to Galileo after he was forced to recant his scientific proof that the earth revolved around the sun instead of the other way around. E pur si muove. And yet it moves.

Stereo3D views captured today 70 minutes apart, under different lighting conditions, by Perseverance
To go 3D: for each stereo pairs, eyes' lines of sight parallel, left image for left eye, right image for right eye.

Wintering is the courage to stare down the worst parts of our experience and to commit to healing them the best we can. Wintering is a moment of intuition, our true needs felt keenly as a knife.

@osnews I went back on #LinkedIn and lasted precisely a month and half before it became so insufferable that I had to get off of it. So much #capitalist apologia and #perseverance pr0n.
