weekly Rworld news

Building a better future...

In the last 12 hours I've shared videos on insta and twitch in which I discuss longstanding self improvement goals. On the one hand if I haven't “resolved” certain issues after 30 years it might seem time to admit defeat. On the other hand, binary framing is one of the very habits I work to overturn. In one video I look left and right at my hands, then turn them horizontal to represent tier ranking. Perceiving the world in the frame of simple binary right & wrong and/or expanding to tier ranking are both unhealthy limitations on my development. The same struggles, the same questioning may not change; but growth emerges in how I respond.

Relatedly, my passion for abstract is a defense against over reliance on the comfort of stories. Different times over the years I've railed against stories. As I feel stronger in my convictions I also feel calmer.

I don't seek victory; I seek peaceful coexistence.

Every week I manage to create, in spite of (or because of) my struggle with pain. In some senses time is rushing by while I fall behind; but do I not get to set my priorities? In addition to creating, each week I am advancing some long term goals. The conundrum of things going well while going poorly is true. I'm living in a period of inactivity and also tremendous change, deterioration and progress.

Does the 3rd time set the pattern? This is the 3rd edition of a weekly update that can be followed these ways: * this URL: https://dotart.blog/humanissome/ * within the fediverse: @humanissome@dotart.blog * RSS: https://dotart.blog/humanissome/feed * email newsletter: send email to me at big.changes.in2025🥰icloud.com [replace 🥰 emoji with @] & ask for weekly email I also offer [monthly](https://paper.wf/rmiddleton/) & [seasonal](https://paper.wf/seasonalrob/) options for keeping up with me. It is unrealistic to expect corporations to keep us connected. Whenever possible I choose nonprofit spaces with no ads, no tracking, and where I have control. I recently purchased 2 new URLs: [Rartsy.com](https://Rartsy.com/) is now showing available paintings & [Humanissome.org](https://Humanissome.org/) embeds my video streams & social media activity.
