i told my dad the joke “dad jokes are just mom jokes that a man repeated louder” and he thought it was hilarious. he turned to my mother, intending to relay the joke to her, and a bare second after he opened his mouth i watched it dawn on his face that he was about to become the subject of the joke. when i tell you that man was slackjawed as he turned back to me, like he had an entire life altering realization in the span of about 20 seconds.
In May 1921, American polymath Walter Russell entered a 39-day coma-like state, during which he claimed to have accessed “the source of all knowledge.” Upon awakening, he frantically wrote down what he had seen — pages filled with philosophical, scientific, and spiritual revelations that would later form the foundation of his manuscript *The Universal One*. Though he sent his findings to 500 leading minds of the time, nearly all dismissed him as mad — except one. Nikola Tesla, the visionary inventor, was so struck by Russell’s insights that he urged him to seal the work away for a thousand years, insisting that humanity was not yet ready for its truths.
Walter Russell’s revelations reimagined the very structure of reality. He argued that matter was not solid but crystallized light slowed by thought — that everything around us, from rocks to human bodies, was composed of light patterns, shaped by consciousness. He believed the universe was fundamentally mental, not material, and that all things moved in rhythmic cycles — expansion and contraction, like breath. He dismissed opposites like good and evil as illusions, asserting instead that everything sought harmony and balance. To Russell, death wasn’t an end but the release of compressed light returning to its source. Even time, he claimed, wasn’t linear, but a spiral where past, present, and future coexisted.
These ideas were radically ahead of their time, blending metaphysics, wave dynamics, and a deep sense of universal unity. He believed electricity was a living spiral of energy, not merely electrons in motion, and that the vacuum of space was in fact a vibrant sea of untapped potential. Health, in his view, was the natural rhythm of the body, and disease was simply a disruption of that flow. Though ignored or ridiculed during his lifetime, Russell’s work now draws new attention in an era where quantum physics and consciousness studies begin to echo the same questions. To many, he is no longer a forgotten eccentric, but a prophet of a paradigm yet to come.
"We're alive. And we're relatively young and Skinner was so tickled by the movie [I bet he was.] that he has given us a Bureau credit card to use for the evening." // "Come on. ... Mulder, I have something to confess. [What's that?] I'm in love with Associate Producer Walter Skinner." // "Ah... me, too."
most people watch the x files because they either want to see aliens or watch mulder and scully kiss. coincidentally the x files is a show that is well known for avoiding showing us aliens at all costs and also not letting mulder and scully kiss.
yes this is the show about aliens with the two fbi agents who are definitely in a situationship. no we're not going to show you aliens no we're not going to show you whatever the fuck is going on with mulder and scully. that's none of your business actually.
x files statistically more likely to show you aliens than to show you mulder and scully kissing. really its a testament to the importance of work/life balance when you really think about it. oh, you wanna know why mulder has the key to scully's apartment? you wanna know why scully's sleeping over at mulder's house? frankly none of your business. lets talk about those little alien costumes. are nt the little alien costumes soo sillay.
good morning.
the anomie of our times
Anomie is a term in sociology. Its literal definition is "normlessness."
Anomie is what we are living through. This first 100 days especially. Anomie results when people are overwhelmed.
In sociology class, my professor explained it thus: we wake up in the morning, we take a shower, we brush our teeth, we pick out our outfit for the day, then we sit down and eat food that has been designated as "breakfast food" by whatever culture we live in. We have our routines to help stave off anomie. Because as human beings we have free will and we can choose to wake up, walk out naked, poop on our neighbors yards. It's a bad idea, which is why have norms, to discourage people from doing terrible things and also to help us narrow down our choices.
Because one of the results of anomie is literally mental illness. If you can't make sense of things, if you don't know what you can or are allowed to do, if you become so overwhelmed you become numb and depressed and anxious, all the time. It's while one of the founding fathers of sociology, Emile Durkheim, who studied suicide extensively, listed anomic suicide as one of the four kinds of suicide, or reasons people end their own lives.
Turecki and Brent define anomic suicide thus: "Anomic suicide is a type of suicide that occurs when there is a breakdown of social norms and values, leading to a sense of purposelessness and a lack of direction in individuals' lives."
What our government is doing to us now is pushing us into a state of anomie. If you are feeling your mental illness getting worse because of the news, it's by design.
They are overwhelming us with horror constantly to provoke a feeling of helplessness in the hopes that their opponents will simply give up. A sort of political version of anomic suicide. Or in the case of some people, very real anomic suicide has happened and will happened because of our current politics and the state of our society.
You have to battle the anomie any way you can. Don't let them think you're powerless. You're not. If you have a phone and a computer you can do something by flooding government officials with your complaints. Turn the anomie right back on them.

Another round bead thing.
There will probably be two more round bead things, then I might play with another shape. Maybe.

I haven’t been super active online lately but it’s because I’ve been hard at work on starting a game dev co-op!
I don’t talk a lot about my life on here but I was working as a professional animator full time until my whole team was laid off in 2023. My friends and I have struggled to find jobs since then and we were tired of being pushed around by corporations - so we started our own little studio! It would mean the world to me if the folks who like my art would give my tiny game studio a follow too, I’ll be posting way more on that account and sharing our progress making a completely hand drawn cozy horror game :)

Kingfisher and Great Egret lined up just right
