still thinking about how perfect a flag this is for human space exploration. Shapes and symbols can change meanings between people and cultures currently, let alone hundreds or even thousands of years into the future.

And what is the purpose of placing a flag on a foreign planet? It’s a way to say “we were here.” And the one, immediate symbol that any other human who came to the same spot any number of years later would be able to recognize a human hand. Even if governments change and collapse, we all understand a handprint.

and if you found yourself somewhere where you wanted to mark humanity’s presence, but didn’t have a flag with you? Well, you have your own hand.

If Lucy met The Kings...

i really don’t care for the proliferation of the term doll like it really feels like people have found a “palatable” innuendo so they don’t have to say the words “trans woman” with their whole chest

not even to mention that it serves as a tool to other trans women from cis women

i saw someone say “oh i saw this video of a doll saying that…” and like… why are you only comfortable referring to trans women as poseable toys who don’t talk and are only meant to look pretty instead of real flesh and blood human beings? examine yourself

also it’s blatantly obvious to me that you likely only care about pretty feminine gender conforming transfems and probably couldn’t give a shit about butch transfems

guys can we get some love for non-passing trans folks, it’s a hard world we live in

just rewatched t2

Actually this time probably not. The writing was on the wall way before Reagan became president, and the steel mill closed in November 1981, barely ten months into his president.

He was governor of California during that "writing on the wall" period. He was the one writing. It was his wall.

Oh. Well don't I look stupid now.

Terrible news: you learned something today

ALL CHANGE IS VIOLENCE. TO CUT IS TO BE CUT. THE PERFECT BLADE CAN MAKE ONLY ONE CUT BEFORE IT IS CHANGED BY THE ACT OF CUTTING. THE PERFECT SWORDSWOMAN NEEDS ONLY ONE CUT TO ACCOMPLISH HER GOALS. ONLY THE PERFECT UNION OF BLADE AND WIELDER IS STATIC. ONLY THE PERFECT INSTRUMENT OF VIOLENCE EXPERIENCES PEACE.

zero patience for "irreversible damage" rhetoric because like... parents are allowed to do all kinds of other irreversible body modification to their kids and nobody gives a fuck. you can pierce your kid's ears, you can sign them up for a sport that will injure them for life, you can provide or withhold medical care like vaccines according to whatever whims you like. i've mentioned this before but my mom forced me to get laser hair removal done on my legs when i was a teenager because my body wasn't mine, the way i chose to upkeep it was a reflection on her. "irreversible damage" is very much part and parcel of the broader belief that parents own their children's bodies.

i have a suggestion

Two readings of "Reach Heaven Through Violence"

Perhaps Royalty must be understood as the full rejection of God's will.

The will of God cannot be for individuals to be Royalty - YISUN knowing Herself perfectly was the state of affairs before Her divine suicide. If Royalty was the purpose of life or the fulfillment of Her intentions, Creation would not have come about. Based on Her love for Ys-Aesma, explicitly for Her hateful, violent nature, it seems likely that the will of God is for us to live exactly like that - brutal, filthy, mindless, selfish, and completely ignorant that every act of violence we inflict upon anything is like a madman harming himself. This adds up considering the workings of nature, evolution, politics, and so on - all that matters is success, looking out for your own advantage above all else is almost universally rewarded.

Royalty is the understanding of the meaning of the True Name of God, which is I. An idiot will look at that and declare "I am God, thus I get to do as I please, harm as I please, take as I please." This is the way in which the animals in YISUN's garden know of Her true name. The bird is not Royalty - it is a beast that kills to live and cares for nothing but itself. It knows the name but does not understand it or its implications. Reach Heaven Through Violence, little idiot - kill and kill and kill some more! As long as you can get away with it, it's allowed! You can live in Heaven on Earth if only you are skilled enough at killing anyone who defies you.

Royalty, then is the understanding that this "I" stretches across the cosmos, and beyond it. There is nothing that is not "I". In fact, even "Nothing" is contained in "I". In understanding that one is not distinct from anything else, one breaks through YISUN's original lie - that of duality, of self and not-self. Royalty refuses - or perhaps is unable - to ignore the first three answers from Spasms 8. The reason for existence is self-deception; the key to living in harmony is non-existence. Royalty is the harmony you reach by seeing through God's self-deception. However, in doing so, it is revealed that ultimately, all action is futile. There is no need for achievement, justice, glory, or even life, just as Meti lived in a barrel begging rather than using her unmatched martial power to rule or liberate anyone from oppression. Reach Heaven Through Violence - the ultimate Heaven of Royalty can be reached by committing the ultimate violence, namely violating God's will.

We smoking that Throne kush, tripping so hard I see the Shape in a puddle of piss. My ex coming back from the dead, tell her she's a sin against heaven and then fuck her through the mattress. The Worm in my bed tells me to give up, they forgot who I am. I will not forget. Aaah! The Worm!

Bearer of the word HIM, laid demiurges in the sack with my ten-inch blade. Got vaginoplasty, now I wield the Maybe Strap. I fucked them through the codpiece of God, the lock was irresolute. Pussy so stank the Glitter God backs up but I dive right in. Fucker tried to make me his envoy so I lit my pipe off Flame and called him a bitch. This shit ain't nothing to me man.

Even the Witch in Glass never heard of the strain, we smoking the world-soul. Light that shit with the chaotic black flame, I love how the devils squirm in my tummy. Flushed them down, now the sewer speaks Universal Metaconstant.

My soul is gone, the devils took it in the divorce. Can't use my Atum to light a fucking cigarette. Still walking, still talking, still putting motherfuckers in the dirt in defiance of the spirit sciences. You think I can't fight back? I'll kill you! I'll watch the Wheel turn beneath me until you recur and kill you twice!

I'm moving like Aesma, I'm too powerful to give a shit. YISUN thinks I'm pretty, call me God's perfect idiot. I take in the wisdom of a million masters and I'm still illiterate. Pump the brakes, fucker, your empires quake as I smoke my last blunt. Gotta do a grocery run, leave worlds burning in my wake. Call me the Wheel Fucking Lord because the Shape got curves. Saw the multiverse laid out before me and lord but that pussy stank, I need more.

Got an angel friend, convinced her to transition so we can fuck fleshy style. Focused my horniness to a single point, call that Ki Fuckya. Came so hard I gave Jagganoth post-nut clarity just by standing in the same room. Rattled him so bad he had to take a nap, saved the universe for 2 hours. Spent it smoking a cigarette and eating hot pot. Shit ain't nothing to me man.

LAST INJECTION OF THE YEAR

COMMEMORATORY LITURGY

New video! Shikata Ga Nai: The Mars Trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson

This one is really special to me ✨ I love space and I love communism and I love utopianism, and the Mars trilogy has been a huge inspiration to me ever since I first read it. It's a sociological epic telling the story of human habitation of Mars through a series of successive revolutions over 200 years as humanity strives towards a future where nobody is hungry or homeless

The books have never been adapted to screen, which presented a big challenge to me as a video essayist, so I included a lot of my own astrophotography to show everyone why I love space 🌌 🔭

I also spent hundreds of hours in Kerbal Space Program recreating iconic sci fi set pieces from the series ✨👽

It's a really pretty video about a story that matters a lot to me, and I think there's so much in the trilogy to enjoy that I didn't get around to that you really don't need have read the books before watching 🥰 but I hope you'll want to read them after.

This essay is about utopianism, which I think is utterly vital. We need to formulate and share our postcapitalist desire. We must dream.

"The deepest desires of our hearts and minds and those of others are a necessary form of knowledge and of truth" - Ruth Levitas, Utopia as Method

thanks for dyking it up with me this past year everybody happy new year i hope all your dreams come true

I am nursing a hangover because my neighbors invited me over for a dinner last night that was actually a high school graduation party for their eldest daughter but what it actually actually was was 16 Hindu families getting drunk and having a dance party in the basement teaching me, the Lone Jew, how to do Indian dances and getting me Quite Drunk while the kids watched YouTube upstairs

Favorite highlights of the evening:

- my neighbors telling all their friends and family about my landscaping and woodland restoration. I have never discussed this with my neighbors! But hearing last night that it’s been positively noticed and they are so appreciative really did make me feel Quite Good. They also wanted to use my yard for photos because of all my native plant blooms lol and they can’t wait for winter for me to clear out more vines and bramble. The part that really made my heart sing was that everyone said they noticed a distinct increase in fireflies this year compared to last.

- a mom and her smol daughter are introducing themselves to me. Daughter gives me a very English sounding name, mom says something under her breath like “that’s not your name!” And I say to the smol girl “My Anglicized name is ____, but my real name, my Hebrew name, is ____. Do you want me to call you by your real name? Because I’d like to call you by your real name. I can pronounce it, I promise.” And both mom and smol daughter LIGHT UP and immediately ditch their English names.

- all 16 families give speeches about the high school grad and then suddenly I am also asked to give a speech about this girl I know only in passing. Made a joke, crushed it. I am the Cool Neighbor now.

- having Very Bad Scotch with all the men outside discussing Immigration, the Economy, and Agriculture. They were fascinated that I am the one who does all things outdoorsy, that I am the landscaper and gardener and farmer, not my cishet spouse. I give many facts about bats, I have convinced many to invest in saving bats by citing how much money they save Society in crop pest control annually. I give many impassioned talks about the prairies and learn a tremendous amount about rubber trees and rubber tree plantations in India.

- I have been over to their house a few times before this and there’s never ever been any alcohol so I assumed none of them drank but then this One Guy shows up and I am informed that he is The Guy. Next thing I know I have three drinks in my hand of three different liquors and I am thinking to myself “oh OKAY you guys party hard actually”

- when I am inside dancing with all the 50+ year old women, they are Impressed that I am picking up the moves so quickly and I say something off hand jokingly like “my people love to dance too” and then they stop the music and ask me to put on MY people’s music. Imagine it if you will, this Lone Jew, teaching 20 Indian women how to do the hora.

- love is real we have so much more in common than we don’t. People wanted my number to share with me Bollywood movie recommendations. I was sent home with so many leftovers. I love my little immigrant neighborhood. I love the instant Hindu-Jewish solidarity between our communities. It is so very, very real.
