The Xenopoetics of Daniel Y. Harris (@dyhikh), Afterlives and Archives by S.C. Hickman (@alien_ecologies) Is now available to order amazon.com/Xenopoetics-Da…

The dawn is breaking in Persia. ​Right now, as we move into 2025, the streets of Iran are witnessing a "final battle" moment. This isn't just about inflation or the Rial hitting historic lows—it’s about the unbreakable spirit of a people who have reached the point of "nothing to lose." ​What you need to know in the last 24 hours: ​The Bazaar has Spoken: The Grand Bazaar and tech hubs are SHUT DOWN. When the merchants strike, the regime’s foundation cracks. ​A New Unity: For the first time in decades, the calls for the return of the Monarchy (Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi) are echoing nationwide. This is no longer just a social movement; it is a national identity reclaiming itself. ​"Iran First": The people are rejecting proxy wars. The chants "Palestine and Gaza, both should die for Iran" send a clear message: Take care of our people first. ​Unmatched Bravery: From girls risking everything on the front lines to symbolic acts of defiance in the face of tear gas—the "Woman, Life, Freedom" spark has turned into a wildfire. ​As a physician, I see the pulse of a nation. It is fast, it is strong, and it is demanding to live. ​History is being written in real-time. We cannot be silent. We are the digital bridge for those whose voices are being throttled by censorship. ​HOW TO HELP: 1️⃣ SHARE this post to break the media blackout. 2️⃣ AMPLIFY the hashtags #IranProtests #KingRezaPahlavi #IranRevolution2025. 3️⃣ TAG @WhiteHouse—demand they acknowledge the Iranian people’s right to self-determination. ​The world is watching. The fire is rising. 🦁☀️ ​#FreeIran #Iran2026

Across the chaotic immensity of time and space exist an infinite number of museums; in the centre of each museum is a gallery; in the centre of each gallery is a basilisk, waiting patiently. @ricjournal @dharlanwilson @alien_ecologies ricjournal.com/2024/11/17/the…

@bognamk As a young man I was obsessed by Nietzsche, reading him over and over again. As an old man I still admire his genius, just not his bloated rhetoric. He was a lonely man who wrote to a world he knew would never understand him. He knew they would use him. A difference unjustified.

@german_sierra Dam, that's like wtf, who would buy such a book? An academic nutcase library to stuff in its basement of High Strangeness. :)

For the price, it might well include alien technology amazon.com/Handbook-Relig…

David Lindsay: A Voyage to Arcturus – Proto-Gnostic Gospel socialecologies.wordpress.com/2025/12/11/dav…

It's weird, I see all these people talking to algorithms this morning (ChatGTP, Grok, etc.) and I wonder at the pure projection rituals of anthropomorphism on display. Humans love to imagine code is alive. Strange.
