Qi Gong - methods for exercising the Breath/ Qi. Taught by Jaime Cobb, D.C., D.O.M. Class Fee: $10 pay via https://www.paypal.me/warpjack

Hello Folks,

We’re doing a hybrid Local and 'on Jitsi' version of this class. If you are local, please feel free to come masked, to the Railyard Performance Center (1611 Paseo De Peralta, Santa Fe, NM 87501).

If you are at a distance, or would prefer to attend from the convenience of your home, then please direct message me well in advance of the class so that I can get the class login credentials. And make sure that you are familiar with Jitsi Meet, as I cannot simultaneously teach the class and provide technical support. I hope you will understand.

Let's learn methods to maintain our health and vitality, together.

KEN MAYERS, affectionately known as "the Major," who always represented the very best of a Marine officer and a gentleman, and was a dedicated and active member of Veterans For Peace for several decades, died on January 27, 2025.

Ken’s activism for peace included participation in the 2009 Gaza Freedom March; December 2010 mass arrests at the White House and subsequent March 2011 mass arrests at the Capitol (VFP and IVAW), and at the Free Bradley Manning protest at Quantico. He was arrested in Athens, Greece while hunger striking at the U.S. Embassy to protest the arrest of the captain of the U.S. Boat to Gaza. Ken participated in two solidarity delegations to Palestine, two solidarity delegations to Okinawa, and one to Jeju Island, and he was present at Standing Rock.

Ken spent nine months in Ireland after being arrested for entering Shannon Airport and attempting to search U.S. military planes for weapons. He was held 13 days in Limerick Prison with his passport taken for the next 8-1/2 months. During that period he spoke at many venues about the dangers of U.S. wars and militarism, dropped multiple large banners from bridges demanding Respect Irish Neutrality: U.S. War Machine Out of Shannon. Ken is a member of the VFP Nuclear Abolition Working Group and was the co-author of the excellent VFP Nuclear Posture Review. In 2023 he was arrested protesting drone warfare at Holloman AFB in New Mexico. He has been a dedicated editor of and contributor to Peace & Planet News since the paper was launched. He participated for several years with VFP's Be the Change book club.

When asked why, after all these years, he kept so very active (he was 88 when he passed away), Ken replied, "I get asked this question a lot, and I have several answers. I do it in part simply because I can. I do it in hope of helping create a better world for my children and grandchildren to inhabit. I do it because, as a former instrument of terrible national policies, I need to make amends. But when asked how I can keep doing it after 58 years of frustrating inability to make much of a difference, I fall back on two factors: (1) I love the work and I love the people I’m working with; and (2) the world is a little less depressing when you are trying to make things a little better.”

What has always been outstanding about Ken Mayers is the example he has set for many in VFP of dedication to our mission, his dedication to nonviolence, and the kindness and respect with which he treats everyone. His efforts and his attitude have attracted admiration, love and mutual respect from many people in VFP and in the greater peace movement.

Loops: Santa Fe the longest rolling social bike ride in the World, er, the Western World, er, North America, er, The American SouthWest! Prove me wrong! What: No Drop Social Bike Ride. Where: The Plaza. Ok, but which one. Ah the touristy one down that no longer has a racist, colonialist obelisk. When: EVERY MONDAY NIGHT. Why: Because you need it! Who: Us, all of us, well maybe not all. But you, are certainly invited. How: ON BIKES, tho' we're not offended by trikes and unicycles.

Folks in sopuli.xyz are not seeing posts to /m/santafe. It was suggested I go to https://lemmy-federate.com/ to submit m/santafe@fedia.io for federation. But I would need to be an admin on fedia.io to do that, it seems. Instead I am a clueless noob, trying to learn, as we all create the fediverse. Suggestions and assistance would be much appreciated!!

/m/SantaFe had been on kbin.social, which is no longer functional. And so I finally got around to putting it on Fedia.io. Enjoy!!

Meet Up 7pm, Roll Out 7:30ish - No drop ride, usually less than 10 miles, plenty of time for socializing, and amusement

I hadn't gotten on the bike this weekend, and the rear was low this morning. I tried putting air in, to see if that was sufficient. And by lunch time both front and rear needed air. I'm gonna put some more sealant in both tires before the ride tonight. Sealant and tubeless are great, it's just the thing that it's necessary to add more sealant now and again.

I just sent this to Biden & Harris via the White House contact page https://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/. I share in case you would like to add your voice and may find it helpful to have a pre-existing template to use or edit. Please feel free to share with others as you see fit.

Best, Atelopus-zeteki

I would like to add my voice in the call for a recount of the 2024 presidential election. I would also like to ask that you conduct a full investigation into tampering, interference, and fraud for this election.

· 32 bomb threats were called into democratic leaning polling places in swing states, causing them to be closed for extended periods of time on Election Day.

· At least one bomb threat was called into a vote counting center.

· Polling locations were closed while voters were still in line to vote.

· Multiple Ballot drop boxes were set on fire, in democratic leaning areas, losing thousands of ballots.

· Many voters reported not receiving mail in ballots, while districts apparently had not sent thousands of them.

· Hundreds of people in swing states are reporting that their votes have not been counted or even have never been received, though they were dropped off/mailed on time

· Some voters also reported instances of their outgoing mail not being picked up after placing their ballot in their mailbox.

· Voters also reported having their ballots invalidated for reasons such as invalid signatures, and given no chance to fix it.

We cannot allow election interference. Please order a recount as soon as possible.

The American people do not trust the results of this election. The people are concerned that there is outside interference – from foreign governments and from private corporations at least – in our election. We are concerned that this was not a free and fair election. We are concerned that we are being lied to and a dictator is trying to take over our government. I am begging you to do everything in your power to stop this from taking place. Thank you very much for your time and attention to this matter.
