A Poem
By

I didn’t have time to write a post today, so I thought I’d share a video. I somewhat randomly ended up at a poetry reading Wednesday evening. Roger Bonair-Agard was one of the poets and I was completely captivated by his words and performance. (Btw- that’s one of the things I love about NY. There…
Election Withdrawal
By
Stillman Brown
I’m in the throes of election withdrawal and exhibiting many of the classic symptoms, including: “Confusion, disorientation and agitation and other signs of severe autonomic instability (fever, tachycardia,hypertension).” Another, lesser-known consequence of election withdrawal is uncontrollable creative output. My doctors (two Austrians and a Swiss) tell me that writing is a way for my mind to cope with…
Better to drink coffee out of styrofoam??
By

A friend recently brought this to my attention: recent studies are claiming that drinking your coffee from a styrofoam cup may actually be better for the environment than a reusable ceramic mug. Really? Styrofoam? What do you think of these reports?
BREAKING NEWS: Marriage Equality Video
By
Jerry Kolber
Ethan suggested I make everyone aware of a video I put together this weekend that is blowing up online – over 4,000 views in the first 24 hours. It’s seriously IDP influenced (and thanks to those of you who gave such useful notes on the rough cut yesterday, and everyone at the IDP for being…
Back to the Sack: Exciting news
By
omphalina
There was a lot of excitement this past week in the Integral Activism/Back to the Sack community! We had a great time at the OneCity walk this past Saturday. Even though I walk around Manhattan and Brooklyn all the time, there was something special about walking with people from the IDP through the city and…
This is Unbelievable
By
Ethan Nichtern
I was planning to write something yesterday, but instead I had to give you this amazing special comment by Keith Olbermann. It’s the best I’ve ever seen him, and I can’t imagine how any loving person wouldn’t change their mind on the issue after watching it.
Wham, ma’am, thank you, BAM.

I liked playing with blocks as a kid, building grand castles out of wooden shapes painted primary colors. I was also the Tetris Queen; I held the high score on my dad’s stone age computer until we got rid of that computer. Never though, when I was young, did I ever play Tangram. Saturday night…
Maxims you don’t agree with
By
Greg Zwahlen
Ellen, I hope you’ll excuse the title. I couldn’t bring myself to title the post “Maxims with which you don’t agree.” Hey, it’s a blog, right? The last few years I’ve gotten fond of collecting aphorisms, particularly when they seem to resonate with dharma. I came across the following Mark Twain quote recently: Don’t part…
Yes We Did?
By

While I am thrilled with Obama’s election, this week also saw some major hits to LGBTQ rights. Same-sex marriage was banned in California, Arizona and Florida and Arkansas passed a bill blocking the adoption or fostering of children by unmarried couples- a measure aimed at prohibiting same-sex couples from raising children. Amid the celebratory conversations with friends this…
Getting Religulous: is religion really so wrong?
By
cassmaster
Bill Maher’s new movie about the perils of major world religions isn’t especially hopeful. But if you need a little break from all the good feelings of hope and change going around right now (or maybe just a break from hitting the refresh button on realclearpolitics.com), Religulous will give you a nice dose of cynicism…
