i intentionally structure my projects to create maximum benefit: as much depth of impact to as many beings as possible
i hold and act on this intention quite consciously but the specific ways I do it are semi-conscious and I would like to make them conscious and explicit, so I can do them more intentionally and so that others might adopt them as well
i think it starts with a clear sense of what is good: anything that is explicitly related to the Dharma or spirituality is nearly-automatically good, for example, with some exceptions (bad actors, poor ethics, etc.). anything pro-social, pro-environment, broadly.
but i also have a not-explicit list in my head of people that are good, whose actions and projects resonate with me even if they are not explicitly related to something in the automatically-good categories, or even if I don't really understand their vision + direction

cults are the wrong frame send tweet
to some extent, cults are a good frame because they point to valid problems, e.g. resistance to answering questions; black + white thinking; dishonesty/secrecy; drug abuse; rules around communicating with outsiders, friends and family; ingroup status games… the list goes on
different groups tend to have different dynamics, but any of these dynamics are problematic, unhealthy, and harmful, and you should be concerned if your communities are participating in these behaviors or dynamics

been dancing a lot more in recent months. it's been conspicuous how totally comfortable I feel in my own skin, even if my dancing is awkward or people are watching.
to my surprise, it's not a total absence of discomfort. rather, it's more that I notice any discomfort that arises and have equanimity with it, love for it, courage in spite of it, keep dancing alongside it
my dancing is a little awkward and clunky and I'm fine with it. it's fun for me and inspiring to others. I'm hot and cool and fun just the way I dance, just for who I am

my current thinking on a small/medium/large theory of monasteries
over time i've seen two monasteries grow in scale: maple in vermont from small to medium to large, and oak in california from small to medium. willow in canada is small now 👶 and growing fast
small: <= 8 people
medium: 8-15 people
large: 20+ people

had a lovely chat with @peternlimberg today and found myself talking about how i'm currently using alts on Twitter, thought i'd share here in case others are interested
in January I read @aaronzlewis's amazing post on ribbonfarm, Being Your Selves: Identity R&D on alt Twitter. highly recommend this post: ribbonfarm.com/2020/01/23/bei…
this year i had the intention to start a journaling habit. i made this easier on myself by making as many possible capture places as possible: a physical journal, digital journal... it was easy to add alts to that
