Oh that was Sane Francisco, not me. If you do get a chance to watch her 50 Shades of Beige, I think you'd like it. The music made me think I was in a 70's jazz cellar with lava lamps on the tables (one of which I got for Christmas, so they're top of mind!) Such talented people in my posse, present company top of the list!

And I adored Cat Thompson and her Letter from the Future. What a great idea! And couldn't resist that steampunk train you put in your post. Thanks so much for alerting me to her!

will do...was just about to dig in further, and cat dramas pulled me away, but it was so great, so far, that I had to comment!

I'm glad you did, it's pretty quiet here! And I'm bummed that my video didn't send with the email once again. I'm trying to schedule my YTs ahead of time but I need to wait and embed them after they post, I'm realizing. Drat!

I don't know how you do it all...but then again, you don't have 14 rescue cats...?

Thanks a million and no worries! I just had to laugh at the insubordiNation. That was great! I’m glad it made him feel better.

Hello dear Tereza. Wow, that was incredible! Can’t thank you enough for this mind blowing inspiring post. Lots to digest. Loved Sane Francisco’s videos as well and all the imagery.

Minor request, can I trouble you to change my pronouns to “his” given that I’m a guy? 1000 thanks!

Done! I'm so sorry! I'm so confused. Maybe it was Antila Belist at KTAWK (kill them all with kindness) who I had pegged as a guy but turns out to be a gal. Or someone else ... Anyway I thought it was you where I'd already put my foot in my mouth with the wrong pronoun. But they're slippery things!

Thanks again for the poem. One of my favorite YT commenters, Gan, said it made him feel a lot better about his own insubordiNation ;-)

Someone else, my label is male :)

And yes, pronoun labels are slippery.

Yay! Greg, I've gotten more new subs from you than anywhere else these days. Your word is well respected among your note-followers. I tried to figure out if you had a stack that you were referring from, but it seems not, is that right? Thank you for recommending me!

That's great news. I simply have 6000 friends and followers on Face Block. I am highly shadow banned but some stuff still sneaks thru. I love your Perspectives!

What an absolute visual delight!! Thank you for this. And the mind-expansive words to go with the images. A great example of AI as a useful tool.

Oh good! I'm glad you got to see the pretty pictures after I whet your appetite by listening ;-) It's so nice to have you watching the video and then coming to Substack for the full experience. Once again, you could be my only audience and it would still be worth it.

The 'full experience' is great and that's a lovely sentiment. Thank you.

Thanks Tereza for sharing my post and video; I’m so glad you feel the Unbearable Lightness of Beige 😉. I loved the AI images and 100% agree that we are all connected. Beige is the Rage! ✨

Love this article! Where your attentions are focused, more of that will be drawn to you.

The quote by EV Jack reminds me of the time I was writing the story "news from a future". While I was working on it, you wrote this article with references to timeline jumping and Ratio was writing about the Gregorian calendar. Both ideas are incorporated into my story. Funny thing is, by the time I read either article I was already done writing most of mine. It is sublimely exquisite to witness what you are talking about here, unfold both in the past and the future before my eyes.

We were all nibbling on the same plate of psychic morsels, it seems.

Random question: when you changed 'heal' to 'recuperate' in the YT vid, was that a dodge the censorship move?

"nibbling on the same plate of psychic morsels," I love that! And on the misgendering, I plead the "I'm so confused!"

Oh it took me reading through and I still didn't remember, but I think that was Sane Francisco's post that I was reading/ trying to remember while making eye contact with the camera. I did realize after that I'd changed it but didn't want to record it again. Good catch! And a worthy hypothesis, since I do change my titles and descriptions for the YT censors but they've never censored me for content ... so far.

Glad you enjoyed it!

I'm an antilabelist, no label, gender -based or otherwise, has any power to hurt me unless I allow it. Thanks to the power of hypocrisy and denial, amongst other protective implements.

All because of you, Ratio! What's in a Name, Really? was someone I picked out of your list because I loved the title 'I Am Here for It, Whatever It Might Be.' Along with Antila Belist, the anti-labelist. I've loved everyone I've met through you. And now they're going on walks listening to me jabbering in their ears, great fun!

Speaking of walks through my ears. Your video at the top doing the reading while I was able to focus on soaking in the all the concepts and images was a great experience.

I have the floating baby up as my desktop photo and I'm loving it so much, it takes me forever to sign in. I just gaze at it and i-mage-in the world behind that portal that I want to create.

It was such a joy to work with all your pictures and reshuffle them. So hard to choose! And your narrative gluing them together was so funny.

And since I misgendered Victory Palace, did I get yours right from your stylized thumbprint?

Yes please to another extravaganza! And my thumbnail on my desktop is a yellowy-peach rose that falls right at the baby's heart. I don't know how long it's going to take me to get tired of it and change to the other gems you've gifted me!
