“Whoever creates this stuff has no idea what pain is whatsoever. I am utterly disgusted. I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself... I feel like we are nearing to the end of the times. We humans are losing faith in ourselves…”

Now I lay me down to sleep
A halfcocked eye on fascist creeps
If they die before I wake
A glorious morning for goodness sake 🌞

I don’t hate many things but I loathe the BAYC. The crypto cons ruined twitter for me before *lon did.

My username is the same as a stupid NFT (I’ve used the same name on many platforms since ‘04). NFT mentions made being on twitter useless before the *lon takeover.

In a way, it was kinda a favor.

Going to a Halloween party dressed as “my closet.”

Authentic to the role, a big whiff of dust scored me an asthma bout while plundering for least worn, most clashing clothes.

A great reminder to let go of that shit.

Agreed 💯. That’s why I love memento mori. It’s normative to have a relationship w/ mortality as one does w/ life.

Ghoulish curiosity may be an outgrowth of repressed access to healthy death representation in our culture. The murder victims may be proxies of qualities we can’t let to of otherwise.

I work adjacent to The System & you’re absolutely right. There’s a great deal of coping one has to do because of the psychic trauma that is the 9-5. Much convo has been around the genre & that has fueled my brief intake.
The genre of death literally sucks the life outta you.

moonbird 𓅇 [insert boo here] @moonbird.us · 2d

Absolutely. The work I’m doing now is a bit forensic in this lane & we are all prevention focused. These shows tend to build anticipation of the opposite, who is next & how it’s done. Of course, there’s no show without it.

I just started using “frosty taint,” trade ya!

moonbird 𓅇 [insert boo here] @moonbird.us · 2d

I started watching a little true crime a week ago, missing my scifi.

It really messes with the psyche. My dreams have been polluted with suspicion. People you meet come with pathologies versus stories.

Deleting the queue. The truest crime for me is sating boredom with disposable death.

Adobe asked me if I wanted to "chat with my files earlier today, and the only legitimate response I could think of is "How would you like to chat to Frances E Dec Esq., he has something to say about Frankenstein Monster Controls?"

Which, while some 50 years ago, sounds kinda clanker.

One of the smartest comments I've seen came from a person who lived in a historic district. She noted that you can't so much as alter a shade of paint w/o commission approval, for good reason.
A mad king jealous that the future might disown him, so he will smash what he can of the present.

Tread on myself with some yum yum sauce

Ouroboros on the Gadsden flag which is the only way, with Hello Food as text. It’s original content!

I was really concerned that the AWS outage would impact our victim services software but we were shut out of the office be a mysterious odor.

You know, the old fashioned systems collapse.

moonbird 𓅇 [insert boo here] @moonbird.us · 7d

So to make this even more interesting today: if a disembodied spectre actually said “breathe” on that trail it was +1 synchronistic.

We’re in our cars outside of the office as it’s shuttered by a mysterious gas/odor.

We couldn’t breathe.

Today’s walkabout synchronicities:

While ambling in Corbett’s Glen the following happened in rapid succession:

👻 I heard a loud gravelly voice say “breathe” or “freeze”
👻 Large stick fell from trees onto my right hand
👻 Notification buzzed about Seneca Drums

Less than a min. apart, see alt-text

Screenshot from my phone with friend’s name removed emphasizing my text to her about hearing “freeze” or “breathe” as the Seneca Drums notification came in.

For context, that particular Finger Lake is about 45 minutes away, and I was walking on unceeded Seneca-Haudeonsaunee land.

Alt: Text of screenshot: Sun Oct 19
14:57
now
(Redacted) emphasized "So this is kind of
crazy. I'm just walking down this trail and I hear really clearly right overhead. What sounds like freeze or breathe a real deep...

Notification:
A 'Burping' Lake?
For centuries, people have reported hearing loud booms coming from Seneca Lake in New York.
Researchers may soon know why.

I was just about to post to BlueSky how cool this thing was when I heard that sound. I had just texted my friend about it (in previous screenshot)

Alt: a plastic box on earthen ground with orange duct tape on the outside. Written on it: “Dear Stranger.” One can see folded papers inside the box. My feet are in the frame, comfy shoes and jeans.

This is the stick that fell from the trees which landed on my outstretched right hand. I walked with it for a while and left it in the parting of this birch tree that splits into three.

Alt: a tree with three trunks growing out of frame with leaves on the forest floor. A large stick is nestled between the trunks.

It’s an anthem that we can only learn from

moonbird 𓅇 [insert boo here] @moonbird.us · 8d

Okay, let's do this.

It's called The Way To Not Crunch. Some 30ish years ago while tripping an ethos "dropped."

Walk quietly, never say "shut up," don't point at things (especially people). There's more.

As a 52yo counselor, explaining this & where it came from can get awkward.

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Following to say, dearest spirits of the wood:
I'm totally deaf in one ear & can't hear a hoot in the other. I do appreciate your contact today. In the future if you would kindly *enunciate* that'd be fab.

I know. My dyslexia doesn't help with automatic writing.
We'll figure this out.
