Today at the Norwell, Massachusetts library: “Join Norwell Library for the Pride Month session in our Issues Facing Democracy series part 2 or 4. This time, we will be focusing on the LGBTQ+ experience.” Both June and July are Pride Months? Or maybe every month in Maskachusetts is a Pride Month? (the official calendar says that we are currently in between International Drag Day and Gay Uncles Day)
Here’s the event flyer:
The politically neutral library in this town that is 95 percent white/Asian and that sports a median household income of over $180,000 per year says that they support “equity, diversity, and inclusion”.
The library’s Board of Trustees appears even less diverse than your description of the Norwell population…!
I noticed that my very progressive relatives in San Diego are still posting on Facebook about ongoing Pride events. It seems like a perpetual thing now.
I have noticed that many meetings and gatherings of the LGBTQ+ community often focus on the “issues” they continue to face, day after day, year after year, even decades later. This recurring pattern makes me want to ask: aren’t these issues itself inflicted? Could there be value in looking inward, to better understand and address the root causes of these persistent issues they face? Or is blaming others for their “issues” is the only fix?
No offense to any groups, but here’s a hypothesis:
The ‘bigger the ego’/’important the propaganda’ of a person/group the bigger the unit of time we need to measure its origin. Individuals, for some reason celebrate birthdays, but they could also celebrate birth second, or birth minute, but that doesn’t quite capture the size of their egos, I guess. Then you can expand the unit to month like you say, if you think day doesn’t quite capture the importance.
Another way to capture the size of the ego of an individual would be to choose a smaller unit but repeat it more frequently, I believe. Like birthsecond being repeated every minute. So, you have your birthsecond every minute.
This leads to an interesting interpretation of Time. It’s as if we are celebrating the birth of the universe whenever we perceive Time. Flow state then can be interpreted as forgetting that the universe exists, which leads to:

@Phil, you moved to FL 3 years ago. Why are you still obsessed with MA.
