Рука об руку со Смертью.

Грега в дом не пустили, отправили его домой, пирог он с собой забрал, сказал, чтоб сами за ним пришли.

После нескольких неудачных попытков взорваться, Сири вспомнил, что папка рассказывал как он помер пытаясь починить холодильник.

В процессе понял, что ему нравится механика.

Несколько раз починив-сломав, починив-сломав, его так ни разу током и не шибануло. Как будто некая невидимая сила оберегает его. Та ж сила, которая подговорила призраков, чтоб они пели в уши про жизнь полной жизнью и которая противоречит своей ж сущности.

В процессе починки газовой плиты помереть тоже не получилось.

Симы, чье имя в списке, нужно быть осторожным и жить каждый день как последний, потому что даже неудачный поворот головы может привести к концу жизни. А раз у Сири не получается даже специально, может быть...

его имя уже не в списке?

"Chemical Constraint: Experiences of Psychiatric Coercion, Restraint, and Detention as Carceratory Techniques"

Bio-textual practices of distancing and division, like drugging, can be understood as what Mike Oliver and Jane Campbell refer to as “divide and rule” tactics (1996, 73). Such practices are “bio-textual” in the sense that the experience of the body comes to life through texts, whether legislative or medical, and ways of acting are enforced by texts. Bodily experiences are organized and ordered through diagnoses. Erick examines this in relation to the physical body and sensory and cognitive experiences, while Katie considers how formal and informal psychiatric prescriptions to be better selves alter how situations are understood and experienced. In both instances, the materiality of the body is made present by alienating the individual from experience, and the experience from the world. Such practices play an essential role in the individualization, dehistoricization, and depoliticization of marginalized people and communities...

Psychiatric prescriptions make it possible to define social suffering and dissent as signs or symptoms of the existence of personal disorder and moral weakness, rather than embodied responses to inequitable social systems. Such practices also work to sanction and produce double and triple consciousnesses, which W. E. B. Du Bois (1903) and Frantz Fanon (1967) describe as the sense of having no single unified consciousness, but instead “of always looking at oneself through the eyes of others, of measuring one’s soul by the tape of a world that looks on with amused contempt and pity”...

In The Wretched of the Earth, Frantz Fanon (1965) argues that it is often the case that the first buds of collective resistance emerge in what appear to be spontaneous defensive reactions to colonial domination and cultural repression—confusion, anger, aggression—what psychiatry refers to as acting out. Fanon also shows that such “reactions” do not simply demonstrate the truth of a naturally disturbed, culturally deficient, or chemically unbalanced individual. They are, rather, embodied performances of the violence of the colonial encounter (Aubrecht 2010; Fanon 1965). This encounter is lived not once, but repeatedly, many times over, met and re-met daily in ideas, images, and institutions that are structured by ableist ideals, and rationalities. In speaking of resistance we do not assume that all experiences and behaviors considered to be madness and labeled as “mental illness” represent self-conscious acts intended to challenge colonial violence; rather the implicit challenge to a normate world (Garland-Thomson 2005) in which “mad” embodiments are treated with carceratory techniques make this form of difference a critical challenge to the status quo....

Wherever disability, racialization, “madness,” or any difference is unwanted, drugging can be used to impair the body, compound distress, and embed coercion in the “helping” professions. Contrary to the notion of safe and effective treatment, drugging is not “less restrictive” than a cage because our very thoughts and feelings are compromised, restraining people physically, and diverting our will to escape."

Ayy lads guess who just got their Darkwood training rapier and dagger? I'm so used to foil it feels like a brick but now I can train in a legitimate martial art and not a sport!!!

Aiden wanted to run through some fencing drills after our workout. Who am I to to say no to such an idea? — Worked on some basic tempo drills. I’m trying to do it from a Fabris stance which is still new to me while also keeping in mind some things I learned at VISS. — I’m so used to throwing my arm back or doing closed guards that I need to actively remember to do the chicken wing when I’m quarta. Also I need to kick the bad habit of rolling my back foot when lunging. I seem to only do it when I’m going for a bigger lunge. — Good feedback from the video though. We’re gonna do more of this since the weather is nice again. . . #lestroismousquetaires #societyforcreativeanachronism #threemusketeers #musketeer #rapier #historicalfencing #fencing #larp #swords #rapier #hema #fabris https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwc4PK2jNeP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1j7boepuxmrof
