Copyright censorship strikes again. This is why we can’t see the Nashville shooter’s manifesto.

It was pretty awful. I can hear the stress in my voice after a while but I am glad others didn’t notice it so much.

Passover starts in ONE WEEK! I don't have a seder plan yet. Will this be like the last 2 years and I fail to attend one again? Fortunately there's a VIDEO SEDER that literally anyone can use to fulfill their annual observation duties (BYO matzoh): https://vimeo.com/263398514

Kurt Vonnegut’s son Mark wrote about how pot made his Schizophrenia worse in his book The Eden Express. He was trying to be a Good Hippie so he kept using recreational drugs with his friends despite suffering terrible effects. I could very much relate. I really wanted to like pot and tried it over and over but it was always either horrible or barely tolerable. It’s not for all brains.

One of those deep clear pools I see in photos sometimes. Or the centers of ancient icebergs or glaciers I see in photos sometimes. Or yeah, an intensely clear sky as I see in real life sometimes. Or cobalt blue porcelain glaze on pottery, or cobalt blue pigment in oil paint. Wait, make that cobalt blue glass! Yes, glass.

Song by David King. R.I.P.
Dave was hella funny and brilliantly creative and kinda nuts, with a good heart that apparently stopped this morning. We both had comic strips in the Daily Illini in the late 1980's; his, "Bob 'n' Dave," was amazing: clever, funny, gonzo, and unpretentiously deep. Much later, as the Duke of Uke, he made "Spider Suite" which I used in my film Seder-Masochism. His was the absolutely perfect voice of Death, and if there is an afterlife I hope he's simultaneously entertaining and scaring the pants off any souls he meets.

Are you fucking kidding me.
Are law firms liable for sending total bullshit emails like this?

https://www.mysticsymbolic.art/ still exists! And it's still fun. As AI art generators proliferate, Mystic Symbolic's AI-free charms grow more apparent in contrast.

“it appears that Meta has it out for Nina Paley specifically.” What a dubious honor!

New Heterodorx podcast! Episode 119: Esprit de Corpse https://www.heterodorx.com/podcast/119-esprit-de-corpse/
Corinna and Nina poke at the dead body of the Gender Critical Movement. Cause of death? Illiberalism, revulsion, femagoguery, the narcissism of small differences, group polarization, junior high social dynamics, Calvinism, puritanism, gaslighting, victimhood as currency, and so much more. Plus, Nina gets diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease. Where will the Dorx go from here? Wherever it is, we’ll walk you there, for your own safety.

New Heterodorx podcast! Episode 108: Heather Brunskell-Evans is (a) TERF https://www.heterodorx.com/podcast/episode-108-heather-brunskell-evans-is-a-terf/
*The delightful and accomplished Dr Heather Brunskell-Evans joins the Dorx on short notice, first to talk about her work with Women’s Declaration International and Transgender Trend, then about her exhaustion with all manner of ideological nonsense, be it from trans rights activists or her “sisters” on the left. Purity spirals, tribal instincts, toxic agreeableness, Munchausen’s mums, disappointments, growing up female, Satan, misogyny, losing faith, and more keep her dancing between fed-up boredom and fierce determination. She may be Tired, but she will keep Explaining Reality until the F—wits listen up!

"Angry Blue Planet" by @npub1j2y…ggdc in the latest issue of the Dobbstown Mirror is truly one of the most persuasive essays I've yet read. I tried to find an online link to share but no luck (why, "Bob", why??).
