I'm updating the Future of Security baseline scenario for 2021 & I need your help. Take my 3 min survey to share how the 2018 variables have changed. Which have increased/decreased in importance? Are any obsolete? Are there new ones? https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/62R2FQH
imageGood morning! It’s 90 degrees before 9am. The heat has come to the Mojave, which means the return of afternoon nap time and late night working sessions.
My favorite bra store just got better!!! Love reading the comments if everyone discovering it for the first time lol! https://twitter.com/jfruh/status/1399862805008838663
@fatemehx2 Yeah but Jeannette (and the bra store) is in LA!
Current status of my social media with the exception of my Instagram feed.
image@ingenesist But of course!!
@ingenesist I still have mine, it's a bit more worn, but I know I'll regret selling it. I remember when you were selling yours.
Well, we cracked 100 today. First one of the year, with many more to follow. I'm dreaming about a rain filled summer, where can I find this please? https://twitter.com/heathervescent/status/1400115252407136256

Would you work out at a gym that allowed everyone inside to go maskless, whether or not they were vaccinated? This means unvaccinated people could be working out maskless in the same space and there is no way to know.
@asthesparksfly Yeah feeling this.
@rosiepongracz Yikes! Be safe and drink plenty of water!
@rosiepongracz Of course you know best! <3
@cillic I always called it the bomb pop.
@DrJenMurphy @by_caballero Right. I get that. I’m not arguing the efficacy of the vaccine. I’m exploring comfort level with being around unvaccinated unmasked people.
@PrivacyCDN My zip is 12% vaccination. And I am vaccinated.
@davetfields I've eaten indoor at a restaurant once in 16+ months, so I'm not there yet. But even still, there is more exhaling when exercising than eating.
@rightfuture yup!
Thought: a Mojave summer and a Vermont winter are basically the same once you get over their opposite weather.
Friendly ask for my infused peeps. Would you take 3 minutes to weigh in how your world has changed since 2018? Thank you and please share and retweet! https://twitter.com/heathervescent/status/1399843391773450240

What a story. Can't say I'm surprised. https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2021-06-08/global-sting-fbi-messaging-app-tricks-organized-crime
Sunset worthy of Instagraming but I was chillin in the hammock. Perfect cause all my desert peeps instagrammed for me! #lifeinthemojave
@Cruftbox I feel ya. I gave up on my feral hive after they killed my Italian queen this spring. I’m too terrified to do a hive check.
Another Wednesday morning and I realized how much pleasure I get from stocking shelves and bagging groceries at the Food Pantry.
@Cruftbox Thank you. I appreciate that. I've given up on this hive and will regroup when I have more time to be serious. I've learned a lot from my first two learning experiences.
@adrianabootie Yeah but remember how long you had been separated from your partner during COVID - that didn’t seem fun. FWIW I think you did the right thing. Wishing you all the power to relaunch your empire in the new reality.
Anyone else finding it really hard to be an entrepreneur/bootstrap post pandemic year? I’ve lost/used all the gas I had in my tank and I’m not sure how to replenish it.
It’s 75 degrees (and I’m already acclimated to 100) so I’m wearing cozy pants, socks and a hoodie. #lifeinthemojave
@SamLoci @whoop That’s awesome. Glad you found what you needed. Unfortunately, sleep is not my issue. I get 8-9 hours a night for 15+ years or more.
@SamLoci @whoop I love sleeping and have prioritized it for years, so I know what kind of game changer it is! Thanks for the offer... I am just in remodel schedule delays, but a zoom call (if you're not tired of them) could be fun!
RT @shanenickerson: Help your friends. Help your non-friends. Help people it’s so easy.
And religion and identity and society too. Everything in this reality is a shadow on a wall. #blissandemptiness (probably not the hot take you wanted to read.) https://twitter.com/angela_walch/status/1403913595130462209
Me: Sure, I'll help you take those outside. (Drinking coffee at the kitchen table in my underwear.) Him: Don't you want to put on pants? Me: One of the benefits of living out here is I don't have to wear pants. #lifeinthedesert
Clearly, I have been a hermit too long. But that’s gonna change soon, so I’m soaking up all the rural desert solitude to sustain me on my next adventure.
Jacaranda covered sidewalk. Why yes, I am in Los Angeles. https://www.instagram.com/p/CQHi3NSBWnl/?utm_medium=twitter
When in Pasadena, go for rhubarb pie and garden burger! https://www.instagram.com/p/CQHqWZyhosc/?utm_medium=twitter
Finally showed @ronmichael that LA can be walkable, but I’m not sure he is convinced. We did have amazing sushi and I felt sad for all the refinement I’ve lost being a coarse desert hermit.
How do you deal with work/volunteer/team betrayals?
@KBartholmess Welcome to the golden state. Come with an open mind, all the stereotypes are true and they are all the opposite. Enjoy the journey!
@InnuendoStudios Yeah me too, but I still have to work with other people in various limited capacities. Is it just stronger boundaries? Or cut everyone out?
@evanpro I I absolutely know there is no lesson for me to “teach.”
@evanpro It’s so hard to find worthy people to work with. (And have as friends in one’s life too.)
@evanpro I am Le tired.
@sparkarch What if they are a leader?
@SamBendett Destination unknown.
I went to @erewhonmarket for the first time tonight. I am terrified because I liked more things than I cared to admit. @ Erewhon Silver Lake https://www.instagram.com/p/CQKqBWPBiUK/?utm_medium=twitter
Already 102.
@taykendesign Finite or infinite game?
Last night I dreamed the world was the dream of an octopus. And I had messages about the future sent to me via mollusk.
@mprorock I don’t know. I was walking along this long curved blue-black beach and someone came up from the ocean and said this is all a dream and I “saw” the octopus dreaming us. And looked down at its messages in shells/mollusks on the waters edge.
@cainwill Oh yeah, def! The unfolding mind!
Well this is cool: https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-06-18/california-unveils-system-to-provide-digital-covid-19-vaccine-records
Third dump run in three days at over 106 degrees.
Who's got the best truck and 4 dump runs in the last 4 days?! Who is also getting tf out of Socal this week? The open road always soothes my soul.
Watching the dawn break, saying goodbye to my desert lair. Soft air. I’m re-entering the world of people. Has my hermitage served me well? Have I increased my capacity to deal with human drama? Ask me in 3 months. I will miss my desert creatures and our wordless conversations.
@Sacheverell Indeed it is and yes they are. But sometimes, the universe invites you to step out of the dojo.
@mprorock @YellowstoneNPS Have you been to Utah? (Not to diminish from Yellowstone’s beauty! Enjoy!)
@LALeVasseur Same, I am outta the Mojave tomorrow for greener pastures. Climate change migration in practice.
Super proud of my friend who wrote this article on the insanity that is the gold rush for the California Desert. https://californiaglobe.com/section-2/is-san-bernardino-countys-joshua-tree-turning-into-glampzilla/

Sitting on a corner in Winslow Arizona and the overheard conversation is something!
@dgwbirch I should have shared the good news gospel according to blockchain with them! 😂

@doriantaylor Yes I have done that multiple times.
@doriantaylor But I have listened to it on either airplanes or while driving 6 hours to the conference.
@doriantaylor Oh interesting. I do it for audio flow, and I’m the practice I’m able to boil my points to make them clearer. My goal is to have the first time I do a new talk, be like the 3rd-5th intellectual iteration so as to consider my audiences time and (lack of) attention.
Climate migration to escape SoCal’s 100+ summer has lead me to the higher elevation of Santa Fe enroute to the Rockies and greener pastures of New England. Ahhhh, the moisture penetrates my cactus cracked soul.
Wearing my rain boots for the first time in I don’t know when. Desert creature enjoys moisture falling from the sky.
Came across my strategy for living with climate change for the next 12 months. Most interesting questions from it: where am I taking? where can I give?
@lucas_gonze I’m confused as to why wouldn’t we address climate change as an immediate problem? Isn’t the problem that we haven’t taken it seriously?
@lucas_gonze Well, it was my follow-on thinking from my strategy for living in a post-covid world (back before I had been vaccinated.) It was to see the reality of climate change and how I could start to strategically live in a world with active climate change.
@lucas_gonze Like for example, climate change means more extreme weather. How can I deal with that? By being prepared, by climate migration for certain times of the year, by changes in my own property (increasing solar, strategic planting), direct action, financial support, etc.
@lucas_gonze And I picked 12 months as a start so I could re-assess and adjust for the next 12 months, as a rolling, improved strategy. And it is based on where I have my own personal power and leverage to impact change.
@lucas_gonze Cool. Yeah, it was a real shift in my thinking from, someday we will fix this, to what is my strategy for addressing climate change today. Wish you well my friend!
57 and steady downpour in Santa Fe. Desert creature opens her pores and lets the moisture seep down into the strata of her soul. I may also need new windshield wipers.
TFW you are in one of the delta variant hotspot with 50% increase in transmission rate and absolutely no one else is wearing a mask.
