You can't logic your way out of being burnt out. Unless you're me. Who should be able to do it and it's a personal failing that I can't

I love the colour palette you’ve chosen. This piece really does emanate peacefulness. Gorgeous!

You’re cool. Can we be friends? 🥺

Great shot, by the way! Did you hire a professional photographer?

Legend is female Druids of the county did not disappear during Roman occupation, but instead melded with the forests to become its Green Ladies, its Moss Maidens. A historian will tell you this is nonsense. A folklorist will merely tell you stories hold impossible truths. - #CLNolan #FolkloreFriday

"The Wicker Man" by Sin Eater, 1973. (Link in the comments to this post.)

An intricate black-and-white illustration. In the foreground is a dead hare surrounded by dense foliage, tall grasses, and detailed plants. Crows or ravens are flying around and perching in the barren branches of a tree that stretches across the background.

On the left side, there is a tall wicker man with rays emanating from their head like a halo. Beneath them is a ladder or structure leading to the ground. The sky is swirling and stormy. The overall mood is ominous.

Bottom text: FEED YOUR OPPRESSORS TO THE LAND.

That’s the way the heart beats sometimes. Excellent impulse control has kept me out of prison. I’m rarely a danger to anyone, but SO MANY PEOPLE are terrified of me. It’s patronizing and ridiculous. Thoughtcrime isn’t a real crime!

What triggers your urges? (You don’t need to answer, of course.)

Boston Tom Levenson @tomlevenson.bsky.social · 4d

Cotton Mather wholly believed in the immanent reality of Satan working through Salem's witches to achieve the destruction of the Puritan experiment in New England.

He believed in the evidence of dreams. His convictions led to the deaths of innocents.

And he was still more coherent than this bozo.

Exclusive: Tech billionaire Peter Thiel warned that Swedish activist Greta Thunberg and critics of AI are “legionnaires of the Antichrist” in private lectures that connected government oversight of Silicon Valley to an apocalyptic future.

MUSIC THREAD. 🎵

Share a link to an album by one of your favourite bands. (Spotify, YouTube, whatever.) I’m into goth and punk, mostly, but any genre is cool.

My old obsession with TSOL is back. Here’s an insanely catchy pop punk album: 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘛𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘨𝘦𝘳 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘹 (2017).

Confession: I’m horny for TSOL.

The Trigger Complex (2017) is pure bliss. Delightfully erotic. Every time this album ends, I feel like I’ve just been fucked by Jack Grisham. Mmm.

Anyway. Here’s the closing song, “Bats”—a very pretty gothic piano track. 🦇

Don't stop searching for joy.
Track it down if you can.
Look in cluttered bookstores, movie theaters, spooky cemeteries, and mossy forests.
Take joy out for tea, adventure, and gentle mischief across the land.
