#FreePussyRiot!

"Life is a shipwreck, but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboats." ~ Voltaire       

Open Letter in Support of Pussy_Riot & Mother Mary, from #Orwellian America

 Putin & Russia's Orthodox Patriarchy have misjudged the power of radical prayer. 

 The Kremlin may have won their "Hooligan" Kafka-court punishment, but have lost their place in history (& her-story!). From now on, they will remain the anti-Pussy men, fearing & beating down 3 grrrl artists & mothers. Heavenly news, theocrats & thugs of Russia: Mother Mary has heard their dramatic prayer! Never forget: Our Goddess gave birth to your God.

 "Hooliganism" & "hate of religon" does not fit the alleged "crime" the entire world has witnessed. We see performance artists-musicians-actors, same as Björk, Kerli, Nikki Minaj, Madonna or Lady Gaga. It's A PERFORMANCE... yet in this case it's an actual prayer ceremony too. 

 We see young women crying out to Mother Mary for relief & salvation. Begging for salvation from a century of cryptocratic patriarchal spies, warmongers & mobsters. Just as the whole world is crying out: for an end to the war, the greed & the madness. Just as Jesus was. Crying out. "Please God!"

 Your ruling class & religious "Authority" has exposed itself (once again), to the entire world in a new communications age- your old-fashioned absurdity, pettiness & willingness to torture dissident artists. 

 And please explain, where is Christ's forgiveness, His love, His reaching out & protecting women? Instead we see the same Pharisee order who hung Jesus on as cross to "uphold Roman Law." 

 Practically & legally speaking, your State-enforced "hooliganism" charge is these women occupied your altar for a short time. And sang a dramatic prayer. Where is the crime? 

 Tragically, once again big criminals saunter away with pockets jingling while protestors are locked away for protesting the biggest criminals of all, the war makers, the drug sellers, the arms dealers, the torturers, the assassins. What does Russian Patriarchy have to say for the military-spy state? Or is it vice-versa? Let's ask Mr. Kafka... or Mr. Marx?

 2 years in a Russian penal colony? The world will be saying: Putin is another Stalin now- a humorless ℱᶸᶜᵏᵧₒᵤ bully who puts musicians & poets into gulags. He tears mothers from their children, attempting to dehumanize them. What a weak system that must be, a sorry excuse for tyrannical one-man rule. All the while supporting that petty, violent criminal regime in Syria, as they slaughter entire villages.

 We are all so damned tired of bullying men forcing themselves on top of us! Truncheoning & jack-booting truth & creativitydown into a dark, violent hole in their fucked-up hell. Cheaters, liars, con-men & spies have been ruling our fucked-up world, the same war-mongering a$$holes, for what- 3 or 4 "World Wars" now? Literally- "Mother-fucker-uppers." For too many centuries now... "Holy Mary, deliver us from Evil!"

<3 V for Bend Data o_O SAVE EARTH! ☮

 Shouts out to all riot grrrls, all Anons, all Occupy, all rockers & punks, all lovers of art & revolution: 

Wear your Pussy Riot holy caps wherever these patriarchs dare to go! Pound the drum & pray to Holy Mary for relief! 

 We will all be Pussy_Riot now, wherever Putin dares to show his shameful face.

 "Our Goddess gave birth to your Church!" 

 "Dear God, Deliver us from Putin; Holy Mary, save us from the anti-Pussy men!"

Activate: <3 @Pussy_Riot lovers: Use the artistic strategy of sending each sister post cards, as often as possible. Adopt them. Know where they are, until they are free. Show them how important they are. 

Creatively challenge the cracks in the prison walls. Check Amnesty's network for addresses. Postcard avalanche! It works.

Look who we found interviewed in Vice.  Read the whole article here.

Not what we have, but what we enjoy, constitutes our abundance. ~ Epicurus

'If there is any wisdom running through my life now, in my walking on this earth, it came from listening in the Great Silence to the stones, trees, space, the wild animals, to the pulse of all life as my heartbeat.' ~ Vijali Hamilton

“You ARE the universe. Ultimately you are not a person, but a focal point where the universe is becoming conscious of itself. What an amazing miracle.” ~ Eckhart Tolle ☀  ♥ https://vimeo.com/channels/639670

Hidden within an office building in Munich, a staircase seemingly leads you up… to nowhere. “Umschreibung” is in fact not a staircase at all, but an ominous sculpture by Danish artist Olafur Eliasson. The sculpture, which is made of steel and is over 30 feet tall, is a staircase in the shape of a double helix. The bottom of the steps has a small opening, so you can actually climb the stairs yourself. “Umschreibung” is a German word which means “euphemism,” or “circumlocution.” Is it a reminder that no matter how hard we work, we might all be going nowhere? Or perhaps that life isn’t a destination but a journey? Your call. 📸: Photo by @anabel_mmn - thanks for using #atlasobscura!

inForm

Incredibly impressive interactive dynamic display which demonstrates potential possibilities working with adaptive form both locally and remotely - video embedded below:

inFORM is a Dynamic Shape Display that can render 3D content physically, so users can interact with digital information in a tangible way. inFORM can also interact with the physical world around it, for example moving objects on the table’s surface. Remote participants in a video conference can be displayed physically, allowing for a strong sense of presence and the ability to interact physically at a distance. inFORM is a step toward our vision of Radical Atoms: tangible.media.mit.edu/vision/

Plan the difficult when it is easy, handle the big where it is small. Taste without savoring. Magnify the small, increase the few. Repay ill-will with kindness. The rivers and streams lead the hundred streams because they are skillful at staying low. =^.^=  http://youtube.com/user/GalaxyGarden

“Beauty is a form of genius -- is higher, indeed, than genius, as it needs no explanation. It is of the great facts in the world like sunlight, or springtime, or the reflection in dark water of that silver shell we call the moon.” ~ Oscar Wilde
