The mushrooms asked me to buy them a billboard that just says “GO TO THE WOODS AND DIE”

But even if one grants value to traditional knowledge, to try to suppress reflection in that interest can lead to nothing but disaster, rather as someone who finds that having children has disrupted her life cannot regain her earlier state by killing them. - Bernard Williams

It was an infinite liturgical loop: the ritual scarification involved etching into the skin the cause of the wound, which was of course ‘ritual scarification’. This was repeated in all the rites of passage until the subject was a mass of #scar tissue somewhat obviously announcing that fact. #vss365

A slight tremor in the hand when writing names; a momentary vacancy in the eyes when holding a gaze: self shifts out of phase a hair’s breadth, hints faintly at decline, opens the maze of senescence. Minotaur of age wakes and waits. #vsspoem #tremor #poem

“Oh world of tastelessness and twaddle! Here you attain your perfection!” - Francis Ponge, Lemunier’s Restaurant Rue de la Chaussée D’Antin

CBS on the cardinals: "One thing we know they're not doing is checking Instagram because their devices have all been confiscated. I believe the kids call it rawdogging."

And when it comes to sleeping with an unknown stranger, in a strange inn, in a strange town, and that stranger a harpooneer, then your objections indefinitely multiply

The princes of the Kāśikas kept their #journals on basalt cylinders, effecting the transmigration of souls in the course of a single life. Recalled deeds, voluminous rumination overtook events already recorded and overwrote them: circular chronicles of memory and forgetfulness. #vssdaily #prompt

Heard faintly from across the 12th green at Redundancy Links Country Club, an unseen speaker: “Echolalia.” “What did he just say? Echolalia?” “Yeah, Echolalia.” “Ah. Seriously, it was echolalia, right?” “Yeah, Echolalia. Seriously.” “Jeez. Seriously. Echolalia.” “Echolalia.” #vss365 #echolalia

“It’s #karma" he says absently in response to everything. The ridiculous scarf says otherwise. And the hair. And the middlebrow choice from the restaurant menu. Nihilism not karma: blind chance, too aimless, unintelligent to be the result of some causal chain traced back to an eternal mind. #vss365

This column represents a transparent attempt to save the reputation of Christianity by claiming Trump is actually a "pagan" (whatever that means) - even to the point of saying Christian nationalism is actually paganism. I've rarely seen a greater example of the "no true Scotsman" fallacy.

Screw consciousness, I’m on #strike. #7syllablesentence

Rain and everything was subdued, residents went through their routine with a kind of world-deep sigh, damp, resigned to whatever step came next. Tedious, soaked through, undifferentiated task-mush, and they might respond “No nothing like #Nirvana really, just pretty much what you see. Yep.” #vss365

This whole thread is hilarious and terrifying in equal measure

When I came to East Coker the #beginning was recognizable, but slightly askew, mutated as memory rewrote truth in light of failures and false admissions: the eternal return was more the adjacent return, and the timelines multiplied beyond what the poet might have considered tidy. #vss365

Apparently my PhD thesis submission, ‘Fuckbois Of Jazz’ is ‘unpublishable’ and ‘cerebrally offensive’ so it looks like my future lies outside of academia or whatever.

Speaking of ethics… #musicsky #music #ambient #classical #impressionist youtu.be/CSpNJlYIhMA?...

The ethicist’s #nightmare was to find themselves systemless, not for lack of effort, but rather for the morass of endless detail, contextual embeddedness, variation of character and personal whim. The first proposition of a solution becomes the first dilemma and regresses from there. #vss365

The #joy of the estates absolute: interlocking domestic duties and reciprocations that pulsed through community, an electric current: sparking, illuminating, a 60-cycle relational hum. But it had no subjective component, was never experienced as such, was at the center of no person. #vss365
