American Evangelical Christianity is to Christianity what race science is to science.

they hate us cause we’re free

I am suddenly less fond of the existentialist tradition’s phenomenology. Husserl’s Principle of Principle gets it right, whether the transcendental ego exists or not. Heidegger, Sartre, and even Marion seem to be missing the point on this matter.

Magaziner: How many US military veterans have you deported? Noem: We have not deported military veterans. Magaziner: We are joined on zoom by a gentleman who is an army combat veteran who was shot twice while serving our country. You deported him to Korea.

🦊 👔 🤝 The weekend is near #TherianThursday #Otherkin #Therian

I celebrate this day a print by @houndsaint.bsky.social. As a red fox holothere, I felt myself acutely represented in this work. My interpretative musings are stashed in the alt-text’s second paragraph.

Everyone gangsta till it’s time to affirm a therian. That’s where most people draw the line—they feel their economy of thought has expanded far enough for the “other.” I am trivial, excluded to the ground of being a logical edge-case whose identity satiation is frivolous, and at best, a luxury.

First, I celebrate this print by @sephive.bsky.social. On my view, its thesis elevates the act of visually externalizing the erotic to the status of the timeless, mystical act of Neoplatonic divine remembering, which characterizes all knowledge production and the realization of transcendent meaning.

Prepare yourselves! I wish to spend a series of posts on all the art I had the good fortune of welcoming into my home after a careful perusing of works encountered at MFF!

Me irl 😸 Thx @thegaypossum.bsky.social !!

How does #MFF not have a #therian meet?! At least, I didn’t see one scheduled—maybe I missed something or am low key mistaken 🦊

Hello, all my moots! I’ll be at MFF, making it in tonight rather late! If you’d like to meet/hang etc. shoot me a DM. Since I refuse to give bsky my identity (the sick bastards), DM as a feature isn’t available to me Ohio, but I’ll see your messages when I make to Illinois!

That moment when you realize virtue ethics gets undeserved hate because it’s the only system that actually invites you to respond dynamically to the ethically real rather than listlessly applying a decision procedure…

Sometimes I can’t help but wonder if the therianthropic call and persistent phenomenological homesickness is, in reality, a heightened sensitivity to the inherited memory of the pre-lingual relaxed field, where shared aisthesis and assumed being-for-other made the ‘clearing’ that disclosed play.

Heard the rapture’s coming… where’s the part where I get to yiff in hell??

When is science gonna give me injectable foxtradiol 😮‍💨

I’m gonna buy one of those large dog beds… for my study.. for me!! Will update with pics

Happy Juneteenth!!

Epistemically, I am animalized under capital, so I share that with the rest of creation—but that isn’t species affirmation. I miss sleeping outdoors, enjoying the birds and squirrels work through the trees near my appartment. In English—Altin is blue. He doesn’t feel very fox-actualized of late.

I need ways of expressing and feeling my Therianthropy that aren’t commercial market-goods. I’ve moved home to Ohio and left Philly behind for medical reasons. Since leaving to restore my health, I’ve at times felt the kin distant. Beyond hiking—how can I by act better affirm my animality?

Performing the egg ritual wrong is how I was transformed into a fox

*Yip yip yip yip yip yap yip yip yop rererrrrrreeeeeaaaaahhhhhhhh* I’ve just published my new poem, “Bellah’s Play” on Substack! Please consider supporting my fledgling practice with a free subscription! open.substack.com/pub/derenart...

I’m a fox trapped in a Deleuze trapped in a Guattari (I go from screeches to propositions back to screechy propositions)

This is it, the first American state-mandated pogrom of the twenty-first century. That’s what this is. That’s what I’m calling it. No person is ‘illegal’.

It’s completely insane that US troops are illegally deployed to suppress domestic opposition and it’s not uniformly condemned by the press and political elite.

These are crimes. They're committing crimes. And when people understandably protest the fact that they're committing crimes, they're shooting flashbangs at them.

Oh my my, kits! The new Altin poem just dropped:

Day 7 of Pride Month

“The Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion." — 1797 Treaty of Tripoli, unanimously ratified by the US Senate, signed by President Adams Comments like Johnson’s are what happens when you ban books instead of reading them.

Came out as gender queer to my mom today. She is so based—I love her to bits 😭

If you see this, I IMPLORE you to post a picture from whatever device you're using without explanation.

I am looking forward to reality after it Babel-izes following the AI takeover and the subsequent collapse of ‘technic’. Imagine an orthodox fox living on light and care in an era when the mystics are free and we welcome our own ignorance. One day, my kin, one day.

This is insane. Republicans have inserted language into the budget reconciliation bill that would ban states from regulating AI in any capacity for 10 years. from @404media.co www.404media.co/republicans-...

Saw this and thought my oomfs' feeds could use this

That moment when you realize discreteness comes from wholeness, and wholes are perceptually created. That’s Aristotle’s Categories for you…

the human mind trying to understand the Other with the limited expressions of the self:

In my home, they were overworked. In my university, they were overworked. And I… was the long unchallenged physically underworked severely mentally over trained personality. I’m not a system of people, but I’ve been reduced to bear survival in this economy.

What prevents the logician from simply saying the hand is a crude facsimile of a paw as opposed to the other way around? Let the distinction fall according to utility and/or personal comfort. Paw under aspect of hand, hand under aspect of paw, whatever construction helps you feel integral 💁🏽‍♂️

Damn, does this speak to a longing from which I’ll take the rest of this lifetime to recover 😂

The Norristown high speed line is being difficult today… Anyhow, remember that you are all the sources of your own Genius. Forget the audience and you’ll play more joyfully 🦊 (Carse, 1986; Finite and Infinite Games: 72-74).

Graduating university and just being out in the world? Raw like this? *f r u s t r a t e d f o x s o u n d s* Wish my program were staring already and that I magically had housing.

When you realize that most of our legal ontologies come from distinctions made in the space of poetic logics, you realize a more humane and hermeneutically expert use of poetic logics is all you have to bring to bare against your peers and their one dimensional propositions.

How I’m looking up at my partner when he’s finally done coding…

Musk shut them down because they were a tech-based government program that does what he's pretending to do.
