A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

make that face into my neck while you're inside me, please

such beauty

making risotto in a rice cooker, somehow i've managed to introduce a step where i saute the aromatics on a wood stove

Q: How did the leftover sperm feel about it? A: pissed.

Black people five years ago: you know, they can kill anyone they want to out there Everybody today: hot damn, did you know they can kill anyone they want to out there?

Your reminder that what happened to Renee Nicole Good is something that happens regularly in America. This is not new, but it is an expanded version of militarized people targeting Black people in particular. From ICE detention to murder with impunity, we've been doing it. Now it's broadened.

gruesome to think that the murder of a pretty white woman might be the thing that actually gets broader "America" to truly turn against the ICE gestapo. nonetheless, may she rest in peace, along with the many, ~many others that this regime has slaughtered.

Everyone's memory is fucked up, everyone has been struggling harder to concentrate, everyone is having problems processing information. Meanwhile, disabled people and researchers are here screaming it's the damn repeat covid infections and no one listens!!!! Maddening!!!

just came so ~blisteringly hard, nothing goes crazy quite like fantasizing about repeat performances !!

i'd be gladly pinned under any but the Orc daddy has my vote

When no one’s willing to travel in the cold, the Rambone will get ya there 🫡

New Year's resolutions

ICE is no longer arresting immigrants only. They are arresting anyone who films or speaks out. Sending them to concentration camps. I have been criticized for my analogy to 1930’s Germany. That is what we are witnessing.

We know exactly what they're doing, just because Venezuela is happening doesn't shift our attention away from those fascist zionists and their crimes. www.commondreams.org/news/israel-...

it's becoming very clear to me that there is a metaphysical dimension to the public's engagement with LLMs (& "AI" as a concept more broadly) that absolutely ~must be addressed. if it's gonna be deified, we need to make it the Satan of Luddism

i'll say, "art" as a category largely suffered in 2025 (at least as far as popular mainstream art is concerned), BUT it was genuinely a red-letter year for music!!

the thing about Stranger Things that is, genuinely, sad (on an artistic front), is that the creators forgot that they had a genuinely interesting premise in favor of "remember when you were a kid & D&D was the forefront of interesting storytelling??"

my last Serious Act of 2025 was to successfully use my pagan priestliness to secure an acquaintance a religious exemption so that she may appropriately bury the results of a surgery she's having tomorrow, & i want that success to be a blessing on the whole of my 2026. i am leaning into clergiality!!

the final book i read in 2025 was James Broughton's "The Androgyne Journal." i think that any queer person - especially any queer man - & anyone of a mystic bent ought to read said book. it makes shit into sacrament & queer trauma into the springboard of mystic revelation.

Stranger Things Season 5 & the absolute slop of its execution make me want to become a Youtuber. Please don't let my ire over the utter bullshit of this show drive me into youtubing...i could spend 100 hours researching, writing, & performing my feelings of friction toward this story

Reminder that the budget of Stranger Things season 5 was $400 million

season 5 was like "Stranger Things was a show about nostalgia for the 80s, but happily, we've managed to turn it into a show about nostalgia for roughly a decade ago, when Stranger Things was actually a good show"

maybe the most singularly annoying thing about #STS5 was that the writers seem to have forgotten that Winona Ryder is an incredible actor, an actor whose performance quite literally carried seasons 1 & 2. She might as well be chopped liver, except liver is delicious & her role in S5 was raw celery

so, i'm not much into non-Commander formats (i don't have the money or skill to compete in most other #MTG formats) BUT i think i have a solid brew building around Nivmagus Elemental & Questing Druid for a Temur spellslinger in Pioneer. i dunno who following me is into MTG but i want thoughts

okay i have yet more to say. i could write a fucking dissertation on the Cum Dimension. it was singlehandedly the worst aesthetic choice made in any mainstream horror/sci-fi of the past five years. its internal logic was insensible. the scene was meaningless. it was a metaphor for the decline of art

it was like they watched The Stuff & thought "what if we make this scene sort of like The Stuff, except somehow aesthetically both more gross & less interesting"

one fictional character who would have been a terrific poster, just hell on wheels on this website? pippi longstocking

may Fortuna pour her blessings on the new year, friends.

this year, i've read more than i did the previous 5 years (at least), & that's a joy. i haven't been recording them but i'd say i probably read at least 10 books? a tad humbling for someone who, as a kid, would read around 10 a month, but still...getting back into it feels good.

discovered something beautifully cursed: Wham!'s "Last Christmas" & ABBA's "The Winner Takes It All" mashup together perfectly

“YES: Residents of Takoma Park, Maryland, noticed ICE cars lurking every day in a parking lot. So they showed up early to occupy the space, with coffee, music, conversation, knitting... not leaving ICE a single parking space. ICE stopped coming.” I. S. Democratic Socialists

There are so many thoughts about Stranger Things 5. There are so many things i could say about this season of television. it is without a doubt one of the seasons of television of all time

my allergic-to-cats ass decided that thoroughly cleaning my partner's mother's living room (wherein live three cats) was an ideal Christmas gift to her. & it is. but boy fuckin' howdy

consider me Introduced

we need to come up with a term like “stolen valour” for people who pretend to be gooners xx

one of the many, many reasons why people saying "these ICE goons need to be brought to justice!!" are so misguided; ICE ~is~ the apotheosis of what "justice" means in this country. they're just doing what policing was invented to do, but faster, even crueler.

Audiobooks = reading Hope this helps 💜

looked up the phrase "Ina Garten with a gun" to see whether anyone had already photoshopped my dream (of Ina Garten with a gun) only to discover that Anthony Bourdain, the absolute goat, had basically used that same phrase to describe one of his own cookbooks. salute to a real one

what if everyone hired ~me to do their phone-map answering messages, instead of just whichever mealy-mouthed assistant they have lying around? what if my opera degree & the six (6) diction courses i took in college actually paid off monetarily? wouldn't the world be a slightly better place

goodness gracious, the scallops coquilles st. jacques (in pasta shells for easy portioning) are in the Yuletide oven & the house is vibrating with pagan cheer, i'm a glad ol' fucker today

cowboy who stubbed his toe:

in retrospect, the "top falling for other tops" vibe in my life so far was not so much a funny irony as it was a foreshadowing of my finally loosening up (pun intended) & getting into the power-bottom era i've always deserved

today marks the beginning of my current re-read of Angela Carter's "Wise Children," which by the end of this re-read may have to be considered my favorite novel ever written. i last read it like 8 years ago so the jury's out for the moment, but i expect to love it even more than i did then

what if i...became a Morning Persom

lower back pain, but nothing conventional has helped? try a series of large-to-larger phallic objects up your butt. you will certainly not regret a series of large-to-larger phallic objects up your butt
