1,500-year-old female ascetic buried in chains discovered near Jerusalem
Recently, excavations at the Khirbat el-Masani monastery, northwest of Jerusalem, revealed the remains of an individual wrapped in heavy metal chains. Generally, this was a theme associated with male ascetics, but scientific analyses revealed a surprising truth: the remains belonged to a woman...

@mrcippy I am really torn because as a young person I worked consistently at a lot of very low wage jobs. But there has to be some kind of social contract, something fair. And if tips are meant to replace a living wage, well honestly, I'm just going to be #ascetic and go to the grocery store for some bread and peanut butter, maybe just a carton of buttermilk. Both things I like anyway! You just have to check out of a bad system when it goes too awful. And I am, for four years at least.
@larryneufeld I just posted about this. Cutting away the BS like tipping fraud is part of my #Trump plan. Withdraw, go #ascetic.
Simple Pleasures
Mefi member nightrecordings is asking for "recommendations for memoirs and personal diaries written by people who made a conscious choice to live a more ascetic life, and in turn discover how to better appreciate simple, but meaningful, pleasures," and the Ask Me crew is coming through!

Dear Friends of slight pain,
Latest #podcast of using slight #discomfort to #focus the #mind back into #attentive #awareness
https://audio.com/lobster/audio/ascetic-attention
The speaker discusses #ascetic #practice, which involves deprivation or slight pain. They describe two methods: one involves sharpening fingernails and pressing them into the hand as a #reminder, and the other involves squeezing a #mala bead or coin to bring attention back to the present moment. These methods aim to bring #awareness and relaxation. The speaker also mentions using a #meditation #bell as a reminder. These practices are simple but #effective in #refocusing attention.

"I'd call this hell, if it weren't so cold."
"Norse hell was a frozen, #ascetic place for people who died unheroic deaths."
"Unheroic? We stopped global warming!"
"With nuclear winter. But I suppose we saved the icebergs."
"You mean my toes?"
"Keep walking. It'll help circulation."
"And get us to the equator faster. Will we really find other survivors?"
"If radiation didn't turn them into mutants. Or frost giants."
"That's just more mythology...right?"
Trudging around a frozen outcrop, Temol wondered how they would find anything in such a barren land.
Ahead the form of the Giant Yundall, frozen in battle against the world serpent, broke through the blowing snow. 1 thing was clear: the hermitage of Buelatiga was only for the most #ascetic of hermits.
It was said the peace & tranquility of this land, so completely devoid of nature, was unattainable elsewhere. But Temol knew the sound of the wind would haunt his dreams.

The #ascetic was the worst of his kind, living on meager rations and a withering disdain for everyone he met.
The villagers deferred to him out of tradition and respect for their gods. All tolerated him at their tables, but he was never welcome.
Upon his death, he saw that by ignoring his fellow man had turned his face from god.
And now, god would return the favor .

The good news was that Kane’s success had gotten him noticed and recruited by a joint expedition. The bad news was that his new companions were ascetics who scavenged the mountains of the Frozen One. Would his prayers to Rithkaleen protect him in the domain of another deity? Kane shivered in the threadbare coat he had been given and hoped he wouldn’t need to find out.
