    back. you'll be pleased to know that my mind came up with a lot of good tweets to distract me from meditating and that i remember most of them, such as "capitalism is slavery with extra steps" and some buddhist pickup lines

    Definitely could see how Mardi Gras could be incorporated as a “Buddhist Holiday” like New Years celebrations are on and poppin at Asian temples.

    My uncle is King of a Krewe this year. My mom asked me to come home to go to his ball. 🤔😂 I had to politely decline. I haven’t participated in Madrid Gras since becoming sober, but I loved it as a child.

    Would LOVE to see a brass band somehow incorporated with chanting.

    How I explain intersectionality to young people: I was born in the US without the rights of a US citizen. Congress was led by men elected illegally because Black people weren’t allowed to vote. My Parents could legally be denied jobs, housing, or a seat on a bus. 1/

    PhD student, c.2020: Here’s a limited argument I made based on years of specialized research. Hope it’s OK 😕 Philosopher dude, c.1770: Here are some Thoughts I had in the Bath. They constitute Universal & Self-Evident Laws of Nature. FIGHT ME.

    He was in fact the first African American to earn a PhD in *any* subject from an American university, one of the first ten people of any race to earn a PhD in physics from an American university, and one of the first Americans to earn a PhD in any subject in the US.

  13. This is also why I go by the English translation of my monastic name. Not the sino-Vietnamese or Pali or another Asian language, but just English. Also use “Sister” instead of “Ayya” etc. Venerable is a bit much for me tbh. Just Diamond is cool too if I’m not in the temple!

  16. “The atmosphere of a lot of Buddhist centers may be peaceful to most of their regular followers, but it is off-putting to some “outsiders” who find the sweetness and tender voices of the pujas and other ceremonies disingenuous.”

  17. This article explains a bit why I talk about race so much - “I’m not Asian”. Mostly, when I say this in a joking way, it’s almost always a direct respond to someone assuming I’m anything other than black (and stretching further to assume I’m not from the “dirty” south).
