Int'l Day of Women and Girls in Science

| Beauty-and-brains combine: Latina genius |
- Did the world forget all the female greats in herstory (his-story)? There was Kwan Yin (Buddhist Goddess of Compassion); Scheherazade; Asherah (the Jews' God's wife); Ven. Khema and Ven. Uppalavanna (the Buddha's chief female disciples); the world's first Buddhist nun (the Buddha's mother Maha Pajapati); Prince Siddhartha's wife -- who became an enlightened Buddhist nun and the top debater in the land -- found hidden all over ancient Buddhist texts by many and varied names: Rahulamata (Rāhula's mother), Bhaddakaccā (Lucky One), Yasodharā (Graceful), Bimbā Devī (Princess Bimba), Bimbā-sundarī (Bimba the Beautiful), Bhadda-kaccānā (Lucky Kaccana), Subhaddakā; though Mahayana Buddhist texts favor the epithet "Yasodharā" the daughter of Dandapānī, she was born Bimbā, and names like Yosadhāri were descriptive epithets applied to her, which later became regarded as names. It is also possible that in Gautama's court there was a Yasodharā, daughter of Dandapānī, and that there later came to be a confusion of names (Dictionary of Pali Proper Names).

The U.N. General Assembly passed the resolution in 2015 [2], which proclaimed February 11th as the commemoration of the observance [3].
A theme is selected annually as a focus point for gender equality [or parity] in science [4].
The International Day of Women and Girls in Science is implemented annually at the U.N. Headquarters by the Royal Academy of Science International Trust in partnership with UNESCO and UN Women to promote the role of women and girls in scientific fields and celebrate those who have been successful in the field [5].

| Sultan and Scheherazade (1001 Nights) |
This collection of Middle Eastern, South Asian, and North African folktales compiled in Arabic between the 8th-14th centuries is a powerhouse in the West, where its origins are deemphasized.
- Buddhism came out of the Middle East, not today's geopolitical morass dubbed the "Middle" East but rather Gandhara [ancient Afghani-stan, Saka-stan, Paki-stan, ir "Kapilavatthu-stan," the mahajanapada of Gandhara at the foothills of the Hindu Kush, which are part of the greater Himalayan range, in Central Asia, northwestern frontier of what later became the Empire of "India" united by Buddhist King Ashoka, but was not yet India or Hindu-stan and no longer Maha Bharata), and the Buddha was a Saka (Indo-Scythian, Shakya, Sakya] in the ancient Kingdom of Magadha now the modern Indian state of Bihar. Note that nowhere is Nepal mentioned because, according to Dr. Ranajit Pal, author of Non-Jonesian Indology and Alexander, that seems to be where the Buddha's hometown/homeland was RELOCATED for religio-historical, cultural, and geopolitical purposes after Islamic invasions overrunning the Near East and "Middle" East, and the rich Empire of India, all make-believe designations resulting from imperial British colonialism in a region of the world the ancient Greeks called Scythia and beyond].

| Princess Yasodhara, Prince Siddhartha's wife |
Sheherazade is not the protagonist in the individual tales she narrates. Rather, she functions as the unifying narrative consciousness of the entire work of brilliance. She's the storyteller.
Through [the use of cliffhangers or] deliberate pacing, narrative suspense, and thematic selection, she gradually transforms King Shahryar from a ruler driven by misogyny and vengeance into a just and stable king. More

Zohran sticks it to Trump, Cuomo, Musk

| Older generation of Bibi/Trump-worshipping Zionist Jews in agony: "But WE own this city!" |
Now that The WQ Oracle is officially psychic and able to successfully predict wins, we have to extend a special thank you to hated Dictator Trump and Madman Musk for backing corrupt sexual harasser Andy Cuomo. New Yorkers hate Trump and Cuomo, and most love breath-of-fresh-air Mamdani, who is for all the people, including Brooklyn's massive Jewish population, the largest in US.

When Wisdom partnered with Jesus
![]() |
| Holy Sophia (Goddess of "Wisdom") was the partner Jesus (Issa) as Mary Magdalene. |
When WE were partners with Jesus (Issa)
| Goddess Prajnaparamita (Java) |
Mysteries of Christ and Sophia | Christ Series
| Goddess Perfection of Wisdom, Java |
Once revered by early Gnostics (those dedicated to knowledge and wisdom as recorded in many Nag Hammadi library texts) as the divine feminine presence of God, Sophia later became silenced by patriarchal theology.
But the ancient mystical traditions remember. Together, Christ and Sophia represent not only sacred counterparts but the cosmic blueprint of balance — body and soul, matter and spirit, masculine and feminine in full harmony.

| Mystical marriage of Issa and Sophia |
Let's journey through Sophia’s descent into chaos, her longing for the True Light, and her ultimate restoration through Christ — not as a story of sin and shame, but as a spiritual [allegorical] map for every soul seeking integration and divine reunion.
Their love is not a metaphor. It is alchemy. It is wholeness. It is the mystical marriage at the heart of creation.

Should I get a sexy tattoo? (sutra)

My face tattoos ain't scary

| The pain inside is now on the outside |
Once you feel the stab of the needle as you get inked, you either wince and regret it or feel the rush of endorphins like you're being original while jumping on the bandwagon of the Basic, so basic. But the Straights just don't understand: It's cool, Man, so cool. Right? Isn't it? The drinkers at the bar think so. Other tatted folks think so. It's an arms race for blank space until nothing is left but the face.

"Likewise, a well-taught noble [enlightened] disciple experiences pleasant, painful, and neutral feelings. What is the difference, the division, the distinction that exists herein [within this Doctrine/Dharma] between a well-taught noble disciple and an untaught worldling?
"When an untaught worldling is touched by a painful (bodily) feeling, that person worries and grieves, laments, beats his/her breast, weeps, and is distraught. One thus experiences two kinds of feelings, a bodily feeling and a mental feeling.

"Having been touched by that painful feeling, one resists (and resents) it. Then in one who so resists (and resents) that painful feeling, an underlying tendency of resistance (dosa, aversion) against that painful feeling comes to underlie (one's mind/heart).

"When one experiences a pleasant feeling, a painful feeling, or a neutral feeling, one feels it as one fettered [put in bondage] by it.
"Such a one, O meditators, is called an untaught ordinary worldling who is fettered by rebirth, by old age, by death, by sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief, and despair.
"One is fettered by suffering (dukkha, pain, disappointment, dissatisfaction, frustration, a feeling of never being fulfilled), I declare.
The difference
![]() |
| I get it! All that arises impersonally passes away. |
"One experiences one kind of feeling, a bodily one, but not a mental feeling.
"It is as if a person were pierced by a dart but were not hit by a second dart following after the first one.
"So this person experiences feelings caused only by a single dart. In just this way, a well-taught noble disciple when touched by a painful feeling will neither worry nor grieve, will not lament nor beat one's breast, not weep nor be distraught. One experiences a single feeling, a bodily one.
"Having been touched by that painful feeling, one does not resist (nor resent) it. Hence, in such a person no underlying tendency of resistance (dosa) against that painful feeling comes to underlie (one's mind/heart).
The result

| Then there was no more pain at all. |
"As a well-taught noble disciple, one knows of an actual ESCAPE from painful feelings other than by [the futile and disappointing distraction and diversion of] enjoying sensual pleasure/happiness.
"Then in one who does not seek to enjoy sensual pleasure/happiness, no underlying tendency to lust (lobha) for pleasant feelings comes to underlie (one's mind/heart).
"One knows, according to how it actually is,
- the arising and ending of those feelings, and
- the gratification,
- the danger, and
- the escape connected with these feelings.

How shall we PURSUE happiness? (Project X)

We can have sex, have a spouse, even have kids, or stay single and chase wine, women, and song. There's a very funny Benny Hill quip that's hard to forget.

| The Benny Hill Show is filth, funny, but filth. |
And the guy boozing it up quips, "Yeah, he couldn't get any, so he shot himself." Everyone laughs. Why? We imagine we would kill ourselves from all the pain, misery, and tedious drudgery of human life [at least in the West, where we have so much material surplus compared to everyone else on the planet] IF we couldn't enjoy our Hedonism and sensual pursuits, which we think make it all worthwhile or at least sufferable. Alcohol alone makes the medicine go down, and does anyone but the alcoholic realize how much harm is being done in the tradeoff? We can endure as long as we imagine there's more coming down the line, here or hereafter, by winning the lottery or getting into heaven. Maybe I should get a face tattoo, or a sexy one.
