actions that will contribute more to pushing against bluesky's censorship than a blackout:

-submitting a feedback request
-@ing moderation about it
-commenting on mods posts about it
-making and sharing memes (ex: "i consent!" sticker)
-leaving an app store review
-just generally posting about it

yep that's similar to the line taken by some of the philosophers i cite at the bottom of the essay! Deleuze and Guattari and Brian Massumi in particular.

Yess and there are also similarities between Gnosticism and Buddhism I think? Probably if I knew more about Buddhist or Taoist philosophy I'd understand Okina a lot better.

Thankyou so much for your thoughts, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I can see how a Gnostic reading would be relevant here tbh, although I prefer to see it as two different systems for organising the world rather than one of them being the 'original' and the other fake.

Abstract I guess: "Whilst you can read the titular taboo as that against crossing or opening up boundaries between worlds, I don’t think that’s the end of it. What Renko’s theory implies is potentially much more disruptive, even to the nature of Gensokyo itself."

more chimi stuff... i really like drawing her #東方Project #touhouproject #touhou #東方錦上京

Touhou Project fanart. Chimi Houjuu stands next to Nue Houjuu. They both look worried, and are both thinking the same thing: "Am I related to this freak?" A small arrow points to this text, saying "probably not."

A more cartoony Chimi Houjuu reads a copy of Oedipus Rex whilst Nareko Michigami looks on. Chimi looks concerned

Bound to the Hakurei Shrine for her sins, Mizuchi finds out about one of Reimu’s situationships. #thshipweek #東方Project #ゆかれいむ

Text at the top and bottom of the image reads "Touhou Ship Week 2025. Day 4: Sunshine/Moonlight." Inbetween is a drawing of Mizuchi Miyadeguchi in her shrine maiden clothing, with her back to Reimu Hakurei and Yukari Yakumo. Yukari has her hand on Reimu's shoulder, affectionately, and Mizuchi watches with an anxious expression as a purification rod dances just out of the frame.

Drawings of Ariya Iwanaga from Touhou Project in a semi-realistic art style. There's a portrait bust, a full-body drawing, and a sketch of her and Yuiman Asama leaning in close to one another.
