well i also wanted it to be a coherent argument for why i think christmas is fascist, told as a series of short narratives each with a lesson, analyzing a facet of fascism through christmas

but i am not a good writer and dont know a lot about things. and joe biden dropped out so a lot of the humor was lost

tldr:

  • "christmas is fascist" series of posts with the homestuck act structure, responding to another thread on christmas. bit off too much, never to be seen

  • "everyone is plural" - thinking of ones identity as a system is useful for everyone

  • "bad intersection" - angrily worded letter to my city

  • "suicide subforum idea" - increasingly few good places to talk about it.

If you describe the process of building a phone in fantasy terms you can see that it kind of is a sort of dark magic.

Thousands of slaves spend their days digging up the earth to produce a tiny quantity of rare metals and elements. These are etched into intricate runes by automatons, themselves built by scholars and technicians that have spent their lives studying these secrets.

Legions of our brightest minds spend their days writing incantations that allow these rune devices to perform new tasks, and sometimes, subtly alter the way those who use them think so they spend more time looking at them. Sometimes, people stare too long at them and lose their grip on reality.

I really believe if you described what smart phones are to a medieval peasant they think you lived in a horrible and profane empire under the control of dark wizards that create lovecratian madness runes. And they'd be right.

i know "technology is magic" is pretty cliche by now, but the thing is that it IS magical actually.

we are so saturated by magic, that it's become passe.

we're fucking tired of magic. there's too much of it. give me a tea and a sunset

these jira tickets are magical and. there are so many of them. what would my therapist say
