i mean i also read shit like stendhal and know multiple dead languages but the fact of the matter is i have more board-feet of funnybooks than anything else because they're cool and i like them. apologies to everyone for my wholesale destruction of aspirational WASP culture.

yeah i feel like this has far more to do with gov't funding for arts and letters drying up plus a seething anti-intellectualism pushed by the right after we didn't have to compete against the USSR on style points anymore but i am a millennial who reads a lot of comics and is therefore, The Problem

(moleman voice) i'm interested in fukui's non-gundam output

important bemzn update: bemzn is apparently the robot version of an ultraman monster named BEMSTER

THE BEMSTER!!!!!!!!!

that whole paragraph is pretty good tbh, although it surfaces the sublimated sexual anxiety in moorcock and is also far, far too readable

oh my god

not yet!!!

an extremely chunky red z'gok figure and the meme text "Mom said it's my turn on the Xbox"

Good morning! Happy Monday!

holy God, appliance white

it really blows my mind how much alt culture/industrial culture/whatever you want to call it up until relatively recently excused breathtaking amounts of racism and misogyny as Just Goofin'

it's also worth remembering that jim goad started out as a shock zine writer and never really left that scene, which is brimming with nazi entryists

northern redneck here but same. living in the middle of nowhere will make for strange bedfellows due to practical reasons and shared libertarian tendencies but man, it's not like this

i am interested in hustling the lamp out to people who don't feel like they can have or deserve the normal ass parish church format

as long as it's elliptical religious musings time: everybody talks about "needing community" but ime people are not into a normal ass parish church format for our deal. i hate this

guess i'm discounting the powerful human impulse to think "nah man this thing is totally going to work for me"

technically i worked a sesshin last fall but it was only a couple days long and i was cooking for it so idk if that """counts""""

i haven't gone on sesshin for a year and my pineal gland hasn't recalcified, so that's nice

tbh i am forever intrigued by people who become "heterodox" minority thinkpiece writers. it feels like a real bleak gig that ends up bad for them more often than not

anyway, back to a) elliptical posting about my hobbies and b) lots of pictures of unfinished model kits

i wonder whether it's possible to be public in a religious environment without it being weird. i suspect not the places i like to be. it also sucks to be a spiritual authority in a place where they trade on your presence and you're also disrespected. this is a common enough dynamic, but still.

the last place i was Visible As Praxis i somehow both got "wow i had no idea you were trans i'm freaking out now" and also people still using the wrong pronouns a decade after i had transitioned

i was the first trans person to stay. hope other people can go there and have it be less weird

trans woman: I am a woman and am taking fairly straightforward measures to establish that womanhood in my body and in the world
queer theorist: I agree, in the sense that no one is and everybody always was. the native. the totally other. a kind of drumbeat beyond time. similar to LSD. we are raving
