Good day it is I, Swiftly Murmurs, person who got mildly well known for two seconds for writing a sonnet about wanting to fuck Elias Bouchard of The Magnus Archives. It is my proudest achievement and I would do it all again. Your objections taste like cotton candy and they empower my murderous frenzy.

Thank you, have a good day, and my eternal hatred towards my dearest friend @catboy-elias-bouchard, you vile wretch♥️

i have been noticing recently that people younger than me are too sensitive, while people older than me are not sensitive enough. which, if i'm correct, should be taken as a sign that the total reality penetration vortex is operating as intended -- within as few as five or six generations we may very well be producing babies who can directly perceive the wound at the heart of the world

Okay. For my money, the entire thesis of Chris Nolan’s 2026 film The Odyssey is that society chokes and sputters and dies when we abuse, ignore, or violate social norms like the laws of hospitality. That is not really what The Odyssey (the book/poem) is about, but I can clearly see why in the horror that is the 2020s, someone could read The Odyssey and go oh my god that’s a lot of bad dropping in. That’s a lot of bad visits. That’s a clear vision of how the loss of social norms and cohesion fucks you up and how war, literal, brutal war, is a terrible wound that destroys your humanity and your understanding of what civilization and society is. I don’t know that the iteration of Greek society that ultimately birthed the poem would agree with Nolan’s take, but I think this movie is quite ideologically coherent, that Nolan knew exactly what he was trying to say with each and every adaptational change, and I think he wasn’t nuts for using one of the most famous classical western civilization works as a way to make that argument.

#my reading also #and I will add that while I think sure any we-used-to-be-great narrative smacks of conservatism #the vibe to me felt more like #this is the end of OUR age #it will be dark for a while #and then something new will come #which is scary and it will not be ours #but that's not up to us #I don't think Nolan thinks The Age of Heroes is cool #and it is clearly already wearing thin by the time of the Trojan war #the gods are still here but they feel far far away #it's all very lapsarian in a Tolkien-like tradition #things are ending. we have destroyed our version of the world #and now we will have to build a new version of it

just witnessed something devastating

guy on the subway with one ear pierced, little gold hoop. other guy on the subway very quickly and subtly googling "which one is the gay ear". it is not the gay ear. visible disappointment on his face as he puts his phone away.

When I got my first ear piercing as a little baby I was soooo scared people were going to know I was queer so I intentionally got it in the other one and that is truly one of the gayest things I've ever done.
