Sometimes I'm busy and can't read at that moment, so I save the article/news as plain text in a PDF file to read it later. It works most of the time, but it's not perfect.
You'll need: torsocks (optional), lynx and LibreOffice installed.
Save it as a #bash file like "pdf.sh", make it executable with "chmod +x pdf.sh" and then use it like this:
Per the Kabbalah Center, "Aries is for speak[ing] your desires & meet those intentions with action. This is how you’ll start co-creating the life of your dreams."
Aries brings Nissan, the Jewish New Year for worldly life (as opposed to Rosh HaShanah, which is a spiritual new start). Nissan sets the tone for how we manifest our life.
One way to do that is through Minimalism. I don't wholly subscribe to it, b/c there are things, skills, and knowledge we need to accumulate now for the upcoming future reality. But for day to day life, I think some streamlining & prioritizing is a good thing.
For example, less consumerism.
"A streamlined life is a life that is improved through subtraction rather than addition.
Streamlining requires letting go of difficult things...
The only thing that keeps you tethered to a lifestyle you don’t want is your need for approval from others..."
I was checking out some of the new trendy minimalist abstract line drawing art and really got inspired to try my hand at it, but as usual, I can't settle for looking the same as everyone else so I came up with this image that I uploaded to my website and also entered into the 52 week image challenge I am part of on FineArtAmerica.

Unser @natenom
wurde gestern Abend auf seinem #Fahrrad überfahren. 😭🖤 Er hat regelmäßig in seinem Blog natenom_de über seine Begegnungen berichtet. Darin hat er auch über (Nicht-)Ahndung von Verstößen in Pforzheim berichtet. Es gab einen offenen Brief an die Staatsanwaltschaft.
#Natenom ist tot.
Ihr seht mich hier heulend wie ein Kind.
Ich kannte ihn leider nur aus dem Fedi und hab ihn so gut verstanden, seinen Mut und seine Hartnäckigkeit bewundert und über seine lustigen Rumalbereien gefreut.
RIP, mein Lieber.
Wir haben wohl verstanden.
Niemals aufgeben.
Should we stay in our current house or should we look for a more suitable #retirement home? As a #minimalist, I’m leaning towards a smaller place. And I recently saw a “smart” pre-fab home that appears ideal and reasonably priced.
The “smarts” aren’t likely what you think, but they make all the difference.
