#iMAGE #iMAGIne -ing is #MAGIc MAG is the seed (of an idea) that you create, because we are all #magicians capable of extraordinary things only limited by our #iMAGInations i+MAG+action… with the word I (in sound:👁) you declare what/who you are (I am) or what you do (I +verb) 
Throughout tales, movies, mythology and history we had called them in many different names… sorcerer (from source bearer… SOuRCEbeaRER) to wizard (Wiz is Víz in Hungarian which means water… Viz lord… Water lord…or “wys” in old English meant wise…or the wicca…in old English
Ever wondered why the owl? Sure…owls represents “wise” (wys in old English) knowledge…but what else?
Science should never rest on its findings nor thwart any other opinions.
We grow by challenging science
Where would we be w/out challenging the scientific status quo🤔
Let's remind ourselves of a few things science believed + #imagine where we would be if left unchallenged.

1. Samuel Cartwright
The "slavery scientist" as they called him insisted on MANY false beliefs to further the "status quo" narrative of slavery, including slaves were #animals and to stop them from running away one should torture them and confuse them constantly.

2. Ice Pick Lobotomies
Dr. Freeman committed 3500+ Lobotomies w/ a 14% fatality rate. Many left crippled or in a vegetative state forever. This was even done to children for hyperactive behavior or low IQ.
Including JFKs little sister Rosemary.

If you need a backgrounder, here's Mick McCaughan, ex-Latin American correspondent for the Irish Times and Guardian introducing why the #Zapatistas matter:

Imagine a world where a hungry child on the other side of the world matters just as much as the child next door. A world where that child’s sister matters too, who works in the fields or on the factory floor when she should still be at school.

I started playing #guitar in college. Some of my friends back home played, so I thought I'd learn. It's been years since I kept up with it. With no job and an empty house, I had time. Plus, I could crank up my amp. Ava would have hated it. All the more reason to do it.

Strumming a few chords or playing a riff through a loud amp usually makes me feel better. It's more of a distraction this time. My amp is a little old. Even a #ragpicker might pass on it. "If you're not going to play it, sell it," Ava nagged. Life always got in the way.

Or I got in the way. Not even ten years ago I kept getting sick all the time. Painful stomach cramps would radiate weakness throughout my body. I learned how to wash it away like healing #rainwater. That's when I really started to figure out who I was and what I could do.

800 million are hungry
1.1 billion are without electricity
3.7 billion are without Internet access
Agriculture producers waste ~30-40% of what they produce (due to lack of warehousing and cold chain infrastructure)

Agriculture producers waste ~30-40% of what they produce (due to lack of warehousing and cold chain infrastructure)
Electricity distributors waste ~20-30% of what they buy from electricity generators (due to poor grid monitoring infrastructure)
A connectivity producer’s waste is not possible to compute because bandwidth is perishable (use it to loose it), but the waste is substantial.

Imagine building internet infrastructure financed by electricity and agriculture waste reduction!
Imagine it becoming feasible to monitor the entire farm to fork supply chain and the electrical grid.

Now, the worst one ever got from our #homemade #chalupas was a bit of excess #flattus, unless, like me, you pile on the #jalapenos, then maybe there's some burning at the exit!

We need #more #unity in #church . If you got time to #tweet about being #dissatisfied with something, you got time to #pray about it. Same goes for any part of the #government .
Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.”

1. Have been exploring relationship between shift to #RegenerativeEconomy, #SustainableDevelopment + #Diversity, which has led to discussions on tolerance/hate, racism/fascism, political divides. Maybe atypical territory for sustainability, yet it's key imho. Some findings:
2. Beliefs are hard to change, "convincing" people is not a viable tactic, arguing w facts only serves to further entrench if listener isn't seeking to understand. Can be frustrating - feels like arguing against gravity sometimes. Critical to realize I too am entrenched. #Listen
3. Focusing on what's wrong/bad generates energy, but not the energy we need. Better: emphasize real e.g.'s of positive alternatives, while not ignoring horrific realities. Reminds me of #BuckminsterFuller's "build new better system/render old obsolete" guidance. #Evolve
I've been part of the Twitter resistance for a year now. I'm going to share some thoughts about why & how I resist.

Some things in the first year were fun: meeting like-minded people, the #scifi characters, learning how to take effective action. Celebrating #victories like beating the #ACA repeal bills.
A lot of it wasn't fun - the threats of nuclear war, the daily stress of bad news. 2

Follow parties were fun, and a good way to promote a message and raise awareness, connect with other resistors and grow our followings. They had themes and served a purpose and there was about about one a month. 3 #PartyWithAPurpose #trending #amplify #effective
