Initiation Well Location: Sintra, Portugal

A pair of wells, called the Initiation Wells, spiral down deep within the earth, like inverted towers. The wells were never used to collect water. Instead, they were part of a mysterious initiation ritual within the Knights of Templar tradition.

insomnia

(this is a rant)

i hate when i tell people i have insomnia and they saw "just go to sleep earlier" WHAT DO YOU THINK I WAS TRYING TO DO >:(

YOURE NOT THE ONE WAKING UP AT 2 IN THE MORNING AND UNABLE TO GO BACK TO SLEEP

YOU HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO TELL ME TO JUST 'go to bed'

IT DOESNT WORK LIKE THAT

Why did she say that

[aur-0ra]

about the term 'be real'

im always confused by when people say 'be real', because im literally here and real??

also that implies that i wasnt real or existing before which is contradictory in every since, so even philosophy says "that doesnt make sense girlie"

about complex ocular conditions

"i thought clothes were supposed to look like they're melding together from only 20 feet away while also making new colors that dont exist in the natural world"

apparently not, only for people with mild - high blindness, or in my case, 20/80 myopia, just in the middle.

"i thought everyone saw tiny static dots that kept changing positions in dark places" welp turns out i have visual snow syndrome

"what do you mean you dont see rays coming from lights except the sun" so thats astigmatism

"your eyes have lots of visual impairments and you're acting like its normal" because it is for me

i guess my eyes just aren't the best, i sure do love having complex ocular conditions

then proceed to go to the eye doctor, go to an eye machine, see a really liminal image while shoving my eye into a machine that made my stomach have butterflies and made me question my existence for a second, but all of the people were really nice

proceed to cry in a good way when i put glasses on for the first time so this is what normal people see the tradeoff is that my lenses for my glasses are yellow tinted so things look more yellow tinted outside

yeah thats about it

My family's cat named "Coraline" came onto my bed, plopped her body down on it, and then proceeded to sleep for 5 hours. This was her before she slept on it.

about art

learn to use the form of art "i was already doing that." yeah, but you were only doing it in one form. you can’t just eat bread forever. sometimes you have to toast it. use it in different forms then. like photography. "wow." or sculpting. "that’s cool." you could even sculpt a camera that’s taking a photo of a sculpture of itself. infinite loop, congratulations, you’ve made recursive art. "ok but what about traditional art." sure, go do that instead. traditional art is basically just regular art wearing old clothes. nothing wrong with that.

in the meantime, marcello just learned how to have good morals over the span of 4 years. that’s cool. also, a pigeon just learned how to store a PNG file in its brain. what an age we live in.

"i believe that a banana taped on a wall is a—" shut up. we’re not doing that again. a big rock isn’t art either. it contains art within it, like a piñata, but you have to crack it open with intention. otherwise you’re just staring at minerals and calling it a day. that’s geology.

try something unusual. draw a map of a country that doesn’t exist. then write its national anthem in Morse code. then accidentally invent jazz while trying to decode it. art doesn’t have to make sense, but it has to make.

and speaking of making, somewhere out there, someone is teaching a refrigerator how to juggle spoons. will it work? probably not. but the attempt itself is still art.

plasma grapes infront of aristotle

okay so imagine: you put a grape in a microwave, cut just right so it does that weird plasma thing, and you invite Aristotle over.

first of all, he’s already suspicious of the microwave itself. like, “why is there a tiny bronze house with a window in your kitchen??”

then you press the button, grape goes in, grape starts sparking, little lightning storms dancing inside the box.

aristotle would absolutely lose it. he’d probably grab your wrist like: “friend, you have imprisoned zeus in a lunchbox.”

and i'd respond like "no. its called p h y s i c s."

but here’s the kicker: after he calms down, he’d get really philosophical about it. he’d say something like: “clearly this is energeia, the grape becoming actualized through the hidden fire. the grape is now not just a grape, but something-from-energy.”

then you’d be like, “no, dude, it’s just science and microwaves.” and he’d squint at you, like, “then why does your science summon thunderstorms inside a grape?”

and honestly… fair question.
