Multi-tasking is a lie!! What is really happening is you are switching your focus between multiple tasks. When you are constantly switching your focus it becomes very easy to get lost in the void of space and then you forget what you were doing. A better approach is to focus on a single outcome at a time. Once that process is defined and rolling smoothly, you can begin additional processes as you delegate specific tasks.

Today we are going to looking to time zones. The world is subject to anywhere between 40 to 80 different calendars; this is on top of the total number of unique standard time offsets from UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) is around 37 to 40. When it comes to understanding the story of the world, timing becomes the cryptographic key to unlock the secrets of the universe.

The contemporary security environment is defined by the Federal Mandate for Ethical AI and Quantum Transition, placing unprecedented pressure on government and industry supply chains. The convergence of commercial space reliance and the looming quantum threat validates our core mission: the security of systems now depends entirely on the digital literacy and ethical resilience of the human workforce which is currently at risk due to the federal government shutdown.

There is a big difference between being kind, being polite, and just being an asshole. I was raised in the South where manners were literally beaten into you. It didn't take me long to learn the difference between a "oh bless your heart" and "wow you're an idiot." Learning how to fight with words that cut to the depths of a person soul was a matter of survival.

The first step of allyship is to educate yourself and your family. It is not the responsibility of Indigenous people to teach you; it is your responsibility to seek the truth. Learn Whose Land You Are On: Use a resource like Native Land Digital to identify the ancestral and unceded lands where your home sits. In Northern Virginia, we are on the traditional lands of various groups, including the Patawomeck, the Manahoac, and the Piscataway.

It is Day 13 of the shutdown, and what was an inconvenience for Washington has become a genuine threat to the stability of our neighbors' lives. This is no longer a political maneuver; it is a community crisis.

Over the millennia, there have been an untold number of systems used, and everyday it seems like new systems are being built. The one that has reigned supreme no matter the age you find yourself in is the one that dictates life as we understand it: the Solar System.

The current intelligence landscape is defined by the Convergence of Space, AI, and Quantum technologies. The most significant development is the massive, near-term capital commitment to the Golden Dome missile defense system, which serves as a forcing function for integrating all three pillars. Crucially, as the technological stakes rise, so does the focus on the Human Firewall (Social Engineering), validated by a new wave of policy focused on ethical AI and digital literacy.

It's a tough week, my friends. We are now living through the shutdown, and for our neighbors who are federal employees, the stress on the family budget is immediate and real. The Hive Social Garden's mission is to help families navigate an ever-evolving world, and right now, that means being a resource and a support system. Remember, the Garden's whole purpose is to disrupt power-based violence through online access to community care and education. Advocacy is community care.

Let me be clear, these are senile pirates, thieves, and murderers fighting over how to divide the spoils of war while attempting to figure out how much it will cost to find the elixir of life. They use fear because they are afraid - and they should be.

When the Kings and Queens of Europe began to explore further west, the goal was to find a way to speed up trading with the east. It was all about sugar, spice, and everything nice, but what they found was more land with more resources and more people to work the fields. The colonies were set up to lay claim to what each King or Queen felt was theirs. The Kings and Queens of Europe never left the "mine" phase of child development, and well possession is 9/10 of the law.

we are nearing the 250th birthday of the United States of America, and guess what... we are still fighting against kings who want to buy and sell workers to fight for military conquest, and use taxes to continue to fund more wars for more workers. The loop continues as we play ring-around the rosies with pockets full of posies. The question is, "are we going to continue to consent to the rules of war or is there a way to break free from the loop?"

October is my favorite month with the exception of September, but that's just because it is my birthday. So many things happen in October, to include the will they won't they drama of the federal budget. Personally, I hope they keep it shut down for once and pass a budget that actually helps us, but more than likely someone will cave or make concessions that no one actually wants.

The start of the new fiscal year (FY26) is defined by a massive financial commitment to two intertwined goals: Technological Supremacy (AI and Quantum) and Re-establishing Deterrence (Space and Military Capabilities). Crucially, the government is also formally recognizing the human element as the critical vulnerability in security, validating the need for the work on digital literacy and ethical community building at The Hive Social Garden.

I've been keeping up with the latest news this week, and it’s a critical time for families as we face some major deadlines in Washington and roll out new security measures in our schools. It's so important for us as a community to stay informed so we can keep our families safe, financially stable, and engaged.

Last night in a library after hours, a group of moms met to game plan how to solve the problem of gun violence. At that meeting, as the new Virginia State Suicide Prevention Lead for Moms Demand Action, I shared my story of loss and struggle for the first time. I almost didn't do it, but moms show up - and they show out.

Stay informed, hug your kids, and remember that even with all the big, complicated stuff going on in the world, the most important thing is right here at home. We're in this together, and we'll figure it out as a community, one week at a time.

The new fiscal year, beginning on October 1st, will be defined by a significant and deliberate shift in federal spending and strategic focus. The U.S. government is committing massive resources to a dual objective: accelerating the development and integration of cutting-edge technology, while simultaneously re-establishing deterrence through superior military and space capabilities.

A tragic shooting occurred on Wednesday, September 10, 2025, at Evergreen High School in Evergreen, Colorado. The perpetrator, identified as 16-year-old Desmond Holly, a student at the school, opened fire with a handgun. He injured two students before taking his own life.

The fatal shooting of a prominent conservative political activist, has sent shockwaves through the American political landscape. The event, which occurred on September 10, 2025, at Utah Valley University, has been widely condemned as a targeted act of political violence.
