“Subverting” Catholic art? Oh, okay. I see, you think this has nothing to do with you. You log onto the internet and you post about how “Wound of Christ” from Psalter and Prayer Book of Bonne de Luxembourg, attributed to Jean le Noir, c.1349, for instance, looks like a vulva because you're trying to tell the world that you enjoy Catholic art and imagery in an alternative, queer, risqué way that challenges Christian beliefs. But what you don't know is that that stigma isn’t just a vulva. It's not just a mandorla. It's not just yonic. It's actually intentionally erotic. And you're also blithely unaware of the fact that around 1297, Saint Angela of Foligno experienced a vision of Christ himself, who called her to put her mouth to the wound in his side and lick the freshly flowing blood. And then I think it was Saint Catherine of Siena who drank blood and a clear liquid from the wound before receiving a ring made from Christ’s foreskin? And then graphically erotic encounters with the side wound of Christ quickly showed up in the writings of eight different mystics. And then the yonic interpretation of the stigmata filtered down through the illuminated manuscripts and then trickled on down into some pseudo-intellectual corner of the internet…where you, no doubt, fished it out of some Pinterest board. However, that interpretation represents hundreds of years and countless visions of religious ecstasy. And it's sort of comical how you think that you've come up with an idea that exempts you from Christian theology when, in fact…you're posting an image that was sexualized for you by the very Medieval saints you think you’re so different than…from “subverted” Catholic art.

There are similarities between Stirnerian egoism, Epicureanism, and Buddhism in that all three advocate self-enjoyment and a kind of detachment, ataraxia or "middle way" between indulgence and self-denial. The ataraxic dimension of egoism is often overlooked, I think because of Stirner's often provocative or melodramatic tone. But Stirner recommended avoiding fanaticism, monomania, or letting one's passions and appetites get the better of them. Tsuji Jun notably combined Buddhist, Epicurean, and Stirnerian influences, though his frequent overindulgence in sex and alcohol show that he didn't entirely take Epicurus's advice to heart.

I'm only now getting to a place where I can admit that I started practicing my religion again for a while a year or two ago, and almost went insane trying to keep the religious aspect of my life separate from the queer anarchist communist aspects of my life. Many people thought I was practicing already because of my interest in the topic, but to me it represented a kind of seismic shift that left me at war within myself. I think if I ever start practicing a religion again, I would be more suited toward one that isn't automatically theistic and more centered on orthopraxis than orthodoxy (some forms of Buddhism, Shinto, reconstructionist Judaism)

Still thinking about this.

My intuition is that society only works (to the extent that it does work) because a lot of workers who know better just ignore what their managers tell them. I think part of the reason tyranny sucks so hard is because it's harder to get away with this.

do u ever think about corn sweat; and the fact that a large percent of corn grown in Illinois, iowa, etc is grown for ethanol and biofuel; and how solar power would be so many times more effective per acre than this; and how like 90+% of so many rare ecosystems in those states was drained for farm and suburbs (in many cases previously farms).

[passengerpigeons]

AND you could still have native plants around and even under the solar panels.

[passengerpigeons]

When you see what they did to the Midwest you'll want to fucking kill the corn lobbyists with your bare hands
