PECKERWOOD'S WEEKLY LUNOCRACY POST! For the Week Of 11/25/24!

By


"Let's escape to Canada-land!" exclaim many Blue voters disillusioned by the last general election. But beware. Stupido Bros™, like Joe Rogan, Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly, et al, are flourishing in snowy Transatlantica, too. Case in point, Jordan Peterson, Canada's premiere Stupido Bro™ who has a new book out, "We Who Wrestle With God." At a book signing in Manhattan on November 18th, he was swarmed with American Bro Fans, since he perfectly aligns with their Christo-fascist Trump ethos. 

The Economist writes of him and his book: "He has been called both 'the world’s most famous public intellectual' and 'the stupid man’s smart person.' In (his book), he retells the big hits of the Bible—the fall, the flood—through a mixture of theology, psychology and symbolism. Often, alas, that symbolism comes from Disney. An entire Peterson industry has flourished for those willing to sacrifice their money. Moreover, people who spend time writing about themselves, the book promises, 'become happier, less anxious and depressed.' Who knew? Certainly not Ernest Hemingway or Virginia Wolf..."

Still think you can escape Trump-like fascism by moving to Canada? How about England? Oh, wait. Or maybe Italy, France or anywhere in Europe. Oh, wait. But surely Iceland, Sweden and Norway and Denmark are safe. Oh, wait. Hey, what about New Zealand? Oh, wait. Okay, in fairness, the Kiwi fascist movement is in its embryonic stage, but, hey, it's not where you start it's where you finish, right? In other words, there is no escape. Fascism 2.0 is on the rise everywhere. Which means what? 

It means, dear Peckers, that we should all stay in our respective countries and fight however we can against our own homegrown Stupido Bros™ and their Christo-fascist ways. "You can run, but you can't hide," a saying originally coined by phenom Black boxer, Joe Lewis, at the height of Jim Crow laws and their enforcement, seems especially apt at this stage. 

And now, Palette Cleansing Puddytats:

OPEN POST: Little Girl Looking Downstairs at Christmas Party

Can you hear this painting like I can? Hone in on a conversation; what are they discussing? There's music playing; what does it sound like? There's an aroma in the air; what does it smell like? Who is your favorite guest? What's their name? What are they wearing? The little girl at the top of the stairs - what does she think of it all? Who are her parents? How long has she been there? Why is she there? How long until she's discovered and sent back to bed? Decades have passed; does she remember this night still? BTW, looking for Peckerwood's Weekly Lunocracy Post?

  Here we are: the shortest day of the year, the longest night. Nature is slowly but surely continuing its cycle of rebirth and we will see brighter days ahead. It's the perfect time to reflect on the past year and consider what kind of light you'd like to bring into your life. A time of hope and renewal. I wish you all a happy Solstice!

OPEN POST: Take a Breath, Why Don't Ya?

By

Lots of holiday rigamarole commences next week, so if you can, carve out an hour or so today just for you . If you're lucky enough to have a puddytat, observe their silliness and play with them; if you have a dog, take them for a walk or to a dog park. And if you're bereft of furry creatures, take yourself for a walk, stop at a cafe, and drink a hot cup of joe or a cocoa - but without looking at your phone. Just sip, clear your mind, and do some Cyclic Breathing. Have you ever tried it? It's my favorite breathing technique: inhale deeply through your nose, follow immediately with a second breath (you can do it), hold it all in for a sec, then very slowly exhale through your mouth. Repeat several times. The slooooow exhale is what makes it so very relaxing, I promise. Cyclic Breathing is different from other breathing-type exercises because it involves a double inhalation and a long, even audible exhale.  But, hey, whatever brings you a few moments of peace today is worth do...
