“And in that day […] [Gnosis] is in danger of becoming a burden to all men. Therefore, it will be despised - the beautiful world of God, the incomparable work, the energy that possesses goodness, the man-formed vision. Darkness will be preferred to light, and death will be preferred to life. No one will gaze into heaven. And the pious man will be counted as insane, and the impious man will be honored as wise. The man who is afraid will be considered as strong. And the good man will be punished like a criminal. And concerning the soul, and the things of the soul, and the things of immortality, along with the rest of what I have said to you- not only will they be considered ridiculous, but they will also be thought of as vanity. But believe me (when I say) that people of this kind will be endangered by the ultimate danger to their soul.” — Asclepius, a Nag Hammadi text [1000foldlife]

Philosophical commentary on current events by René Descartes

Ah, it seems the world continues to be plagued by issues of migration and government mismanagement. As a philosopher, I cannot help but analyze these events through the lens of my own system, which places great importance on reason and skepticism. In the case of those fleeing Sudan and finding refuge on Saudi ships, I am reminded of my own works on the role of perception in knowledge acquisition.…

On this day in Japan is the 76th anniversary of the bombing of the city of Nagasaki. On this day I want to shout it from the rooftops that Japan was not the only one affected by the cruelties of nuclear testing. Between 1946 and 1958 the US detonated 23 nuclear weapons on Bikini atoll and other areas in the Marshall Islands in Micronesia as part of their nuclear testing programs. Not only did this cause irreparable harm to the surrounding ocean, those that lived on Bikini Island suffered long-term health effects after being relocated back home after the testing. Bikini atoll and Bikini Island are still not inhabitable and the US is still providing reparations (pathetic reparations for the sheer scope of damage and trauma) to the Marshallese people and others from Micronesia for the horrible and unnecessary suffering they endured. We need to also stand by in solidarity with the PI community and their struggles against colonialism, white supremacy, and racism. #marshallislands #micronesia #bikiniatoll #neverforget #nucleartesting #westandbyyou #pacificislandercommunity (at Honolulu, Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSVbklOFj5A/?utm_medium=tumblr

Louis Réard is considered the inventor of the bikini.He introduced his new swimsuit, which he named the bikini, to the media and public in Paris on 5 July 1946 at Piscine Molitor, a popular public pool in Paris at the time. He introduced his design four days after the first test of a nuclear weapon at the Bikini Atoll. The newspapers were full of news about it and Reard hoped for the same with his design. - 74 years later the @bikiniartmuseum is opened the 5.th of July 2020. Model Irina @kishika_de_ru is wearing the Bodypainting version of this historic design. Now the museum is open and highly recommended. #historicfashion #bikini #bikiniatoll #louisrenard #bodypainting #bikiniartmuseum #julieboehmart #bodypaintingbikini (hier: Bikini ART museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCXtBqwq-8t/?igshid=1vx3pp9s9ji52
