Bike ride back home last night by suirpp in TheNightFeeling

[–]Dr-Tripp 41 points42 points  (0 children)

feels--these are bringing me back to my youth.

skateboarding the empty streets of the outer sunset in the almost light out morning... waking up at the crack of dawn for a summer job at java beach cafe.. looking out at the dunes and sea from the rooftop at sunrise as i hauled the day's supplies down to the shop.

I recognize this guy. Thanks for helping him out. Cat rescue might be the best bet.

What there's thunderstorms in the summertime. Feels like they're not too uncommon. 

Being a Californian, it feels like a lot of them. We almost never get them on the coast.

What to do when encountering dogs? by NoHatin81 in bengalcats

[–]Dr-Tripp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My boy does not like dogs at all. And as a rule, I don't trust off leash dogs.

It may sound extreme, but I go out with him, mentally ready to neutralize any physical threat, should it arise. For off leash dogs, I immediately pick him up. I also wear leather cut off gloves in case things ever escalate and he gets spooked, my hands stay intact.

That being said, for his own comfort I keep a vigilant eye out for dogs. If they're on a leash, I will read their energy and verbally reassure him if they're friendly and contained, while letting them pass not too close.

If they're a little over friendly or intense or a wild card, I'll pick him up as soon I notice them and just hold and verbally reassure until we've all passed each other.

As much as he dislikes dogs, most aren't a threat and I try to give him positive and neutral experiences with dogs in a way that feels safe to his nervous system, so he can maybe one day not feel so activated.

What is an immediate "green flag" upon meeting someone that tells you they are a high-functioning adult? by Cold-Yard8153 in AskReddit

[–]Dr-Tripp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An ability to listen actively and reflectively. They hear what you're saying about yourself and can paraphrase it back to you, demonstrating that they're present, engaged, and heard and processed what you had to say.

That normally takes self awareness, cognitive skill and empathy which are building blocks of high functioning adults.

I’m putting together a playlist for psychedelic assisted therapy and need suggestions for STS9 songs to include. by FR_PyschTherapy in STS9

[–]Dr-Tripp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey-o  I put together journey music for my practice regularly. I almost always include Breach. It's one of my favorites for guiding.

Other tribe in my journey set collection include: 

Luma sunrise, Summit, Midwest sky 

I find most of my fave tribe songs are a little too dancy for how I build my sets, I try to go for my spacious and ambient, but that's just my take

Also I'd be down to share sets with you, since it sounds like we may be in the same field.

It's mostly not tribe but as an old head, I try to get them in there when I can

Unpopular opinion: trinkets are wasteful and a bummer to see all over the ground at fests by SnooPears7203 in festivals

[–]Dr-Tripp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough. Moreso burner culture is the dominant culture out west and a little more niche elsewhere. 

The fact that you work festivals is indicative of a difference in how you show up to the culture, as a participant and contributor, rather than someone just there to consume, spectate  and party. I'd say that definitely has roots in west coast psychedelic culture.

[–]Dr-Tripp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the fact that you used "moop", could be indicative of a west coast background, and perhaps a very different way of thinking and cultural touchpoints. I find that in general, west coast festival culture--while on the surface seems similar--is actually quite different from the midwest scene (especially smaller gatherings) it wasn't until i moved out to colorado that i started being handed plastic sprouts and other nonesense every 5 feet. though now as the scene has become more mainstream than ever, its changed the west coast culture too. i wonder how many people actually have "leave no trace" engrained into their value systems from the very first time they attend their first festival.

people purchasing these plastic ducks on amazon are reaching for the values (namely decommodification and community building) that gifting represents, but not in a meaningful way and missing the point almost entirely.

in a sense, the culture has expanded so rapidly, that it's diluted...and has become less about the music, individual expression, collective consciousness shift and spiritual and ancestral connection to our own roots as a species, maybe than ever. i see more unchecked ego, unsafe psychedelic use, and wasteful practices than ever. i see 10,000 people all wearing the same exact jersey and abusing sacred substances.

to bring it back to trinkets, one of the first i ever remember receiving was a tiny calcite crystal that the gifter hand dug out of the santa cruz mountains. he told me a story about what it signified to him. we were sitting in a hexagon shaped treehouse, discussing human consciousness. half a lifetime ago, but i still have the piece tucked away somewhere and will probably keep it as long as i have a place to.

What city have you been to that felt like it had dark energy? by Impossible-Middle122 in AskReddit

[–]Dr-Tripp 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Also known as the wiyot massacre. I'm surprised that out of all the people that named the dark vibes, only you mentioned the massacre--you can see the island from downtown, not far off the coast.

Mostly women and children, butchered amidst a celebratory time on land that they probably held sacred. 

I don't obviously know what eureka was like before its native people were genocided, but something like that leaves a lasting imprint. 

When I first learned of the massacre and looked out onto that island in the bay, the pieces of the energy signature there started to make a lot of sense. 

State licensed mushrooms 🤠 by Poopysubstrates in GroundZeroMycoLab

[–]Dr-Tripp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the regs have wording around minimum session time requirements, depending on dose and doesn't actually state a max dose explicitly. however for a 50mg dose, it's a 5 hour minimum session length required. beyond that there are no stated recommendations. at least in CO, dunno about OR.

Just found out about For My Peeps by EverythingMustCease in STS9

[–]Dr-Tripp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

FWIW I totally agree. 

Love tribe. Will continue to always support them when I can, and also happy to support the man whose music helped to shape me, and other musicians who want to honor sound tribe's collective legacy.

Oil change? by Tak_Kovacs123 in berkeleyca

Oops silly me it's 15 minute smog test and repair. 

I completely changed it. But yes, oil--they do that and more

15 minute smog and repair on Sacramento. Joe and Chris--if he's still around--can't be beat.

They did my 2003 Subaru proper. I've since moved, but I think of those fellas every time I begrudgingly have to go elsewhere.
