    Condolences for everyone confronting the fact that the Senate GOP is exactly who you knew they were all along. This sounds like sarcasm but it is not. It would have been nice if they had been anything other than criminally complicit. But they weren't. Now go get them.

    “GOP” members of the Senate, you unconscionable, pathetic, spineless, hypocritical, lickspittle, death rattle of a racist patriarchal Calvinist shitbags. May all your teeth fall out but one. And in that one may you have a toothache. Enjoy how history looks at you. It’s not pretty

    Mom had a college degree. Dad I think dropped out of high school? (Dunno. Estranged. Long story.) Of my brother and three cousins only one of two to finish college and the only one with an advanced degree.

    Clearly this woman knew about the 5 precepts (which aren’t a big deal in Jodo Shinshu) but has this alternate version of them. 9/

    It’s an excerpt from a discussion of the 8-fold path by a white woman convert to Jodo Shinshu written in 1940. This is an odd phrasing of the 5 precepts, esp. 3 and 5.. 8/

    But, again, like how did this happen? Who popularized it and when? 6/

    I assume this is a modern/western thing, a way that folks tried to make sense of Buddhism by looking for the “comparable Ten Commandments” 5/

    Such that random people who don’t know much about Buddhism somehow know about the five precepts 3/

    Specifically, sure, I can figure out the textual source. But it seems like they entered the popular imagination in “the West” in a very specific way...2/

    Alright , it’s question time. Let’s talk the five precepts. Does anyone know how they became a thing? 1/

    Today’s plan: answer this avalanche of email (I think I’ve got a billion from alone); then dive into 1950s Buddhism. Stay tuned.

    Thank you for sharing your failures. It helps to know we all go through them. Here is requested random gif:

    Just notified that I did not get the grant I applied for. And I have what is sure to be a very uncomfortable meeting scheduled for later in the day. Please send goofy pictures and non sequitur gifs as distractions.
