this is what a special issue of mail club could look like, if you requested a general medieval theme -- a ready-to-apply vinyl decal (with instructions), a bunch of matte vinyl stickers, a note with book recs on the medieval era. this is not near an ounce so i'd likely add some tea & a wax seal.

Today marks the 44th anniversary of the single most sanity-warping print error ever committed to print. The gnawing, eldritch, Lovecraftian horror of this Peterborough Standard society page from April 18, 1980. Theremony at tremony at the liremony indeed.

well, today i got two calls from applications and I was rejected from both. im starting to fear i will end up homeless and ill have to give up my cat for adoption. i need to make it through the bills and debts somehow. so please if you have something for me, let me know. ill edit anything

one of those things i am meant to restore and give to my daughter (i do not have a daughter and will not, not even of any kind).

one of the extremely few things my family know about me is that i like writing. this is how i ended up with 2 field writing desks "to restore," as if that's a treat. me and my extremely poor fine motor skills are not amused.

Hey, so ICE is still kidnapping and disappearing people in the United States. Just because they got quieter about it doesn't make it okay. Abolish ICE. Chinga la Migra.

progress toward sweet sweet lyre: 0/40 i will keep this updated as it changes. definitely think about getting a mail club issue all to yourself!

they got the Church of England supporting the Pope now

many ways to read this. if you are a survivor of psychiatric inpatient care/eating disorder care of any type/especially IFS in any setting, take care with this one. tw for abuse and fucking with reality, at the least.

Your Cherokee words for today. The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically. The little wren is the messenger of birds and pries into everything.

Glad to see this important book from my old pal @wthrockmorton.bsky.social, who I got to know fighting US Christian right backing for Uganda’s “kill the gays” bill. Warren, a conservative Christian teaching at a Christian college, was a hero. He’s been fighting the good fight ever since.

cis men fully cannot understand that there are spaces where they are not welcome. so naturally they just show up anyway.

in case you are more comfortable with commerce occurring via official channels, i have created a listing for custom mail club issues. stickers, ephemera, and a letter about (almost) anything you want! i will decline bigoted or violent requests, but everything else is on the table.

latest fragment i am hoping to shore against my ruins is playing music again. i already have load-bearing fragments like working (volunteer so it feels like it doesn't count but that's capitalism talking), religious life, artistic practice, friendships. i feel like i have a whole life, but no job.

montana is not bad really! i have family there. they have wolves and geysers and whatnot there. if u, like me, really just want to live a rural life, be careful, though.

hey! do you want an envelope stuffed with stickers, ephemera, and a letter about a topic YOU have chosen? i will make this. it will be $5 to me (venmo @SimonEmery preferred so as to avoid ko-fi fees). shipped fast, to anywhere, for free. (saving for a 7-string lyre so if you think that is cool...)

moomin swedish candy.

for gay and trans stickers, zines, mail club -- nothing over $5, shipping is free to anywhere in the world.

Our April 18 deadline is fast approaching! Apply for our research fellowships today for the opportunity to study a vast collection of 20th century Latter-day Saint primary sources on the priesthood, temples, gay rights, and so much more: mormonstudies.as.virginia.edu/library-coll...

this is a big trend as the right secularizes - using "science" or "nature" or "biology" or even "evolution" in a sentence where only "God" makes sense natural forces do not prescribe, they do not judge, they do not want. you're thinking of a deity. or yourself.

Pope Leo: "The world is being ravaged by a handful of tyrants, yet it is held together by a multitude of supportive brothers and sisters.”

Like, for example, a Secretary of Defense citing a fake Bible verse from Pulp Fiction to promote wars of aggression.

what you went through still hurt and still matters EVEN IF you begin to recover from what it caused in you.

oh my god, endowed professorships for people better suited to podcasting? way to go harvard

Black maternal healthcare is UNDER ATTACK and we're not going to pretend that thoughts and prayers will fix it. How about we try something more radical and direct: actually funding the people who hold it DOWN on the daily. 💖 buff.ly/QTBlkmD

OUCH one-hit KO

having sort of a flowering of doing things i like again -- afraid that if i add more i'll break it. but i do want to learn the lyre.

okay this is a very good analysis

Trying to explain St Augustine to the pope, the former head of the Augustinian order, who wrote his doctoral thesis on Augustine, on his way back from celebrating mass at the Basilica of St Augustine in Annaba, Algeria, overlooking the site where Augustine lived is peak Adult Catholic Convert.

Celebrate wins more than you morn losses. That is the rule.

Ban this shit from your life. Seriously. Boycott. And keep away from your kids.

We've nearly reached full Pius XIII.

deep in the "everyone hates you" sauce and every task feels like trying to crawl out of quicksand. self-aware enough to know this is a Mental Health Issue but still mentally ill enough to suspect it's all true and it will be like this forever.

i do not want the performance of public apology from ppl/institutions who have been transphobic these past few years now seeing shifting winds. you don't have to say sorry. if you mean it donate to trans charities & vocally advocate against anti-trans bills, public restrictions on trans women, etc.

If you, like me, don't have any art you want to share, you can simply write Kristian a get well message! Do it! Cheer him up! You've got 24 hours left! 💚💚💚

making cute cards to send to ???? could be you tbh
