Consider also:

  1. “Put in the context of global fascism, we could end up being one of the last wee bastions of a progressive culture abjected as decadence by the reactionaries, a bit of a heaven in a world going to hell. “
  2. Pygmy
  3. “I couldn’t see any sense in pretending that life was not full of horrors. Death and trousers are facts in nature; and merely to avoid reference to them or to invent euphemisms for them does not alter their character.”
  4. Kaos 378
  5. “Science fiction lends itself readily to imaginative subversion of any status quo. “

  • “In many respects, no doubt, the Law of Thelema is revolutionary. It insists on the absolute sovereignty of the individual within the limits of his proper function. And this principle will be resented by all those who like to interfere with other people’s business. The battle will rage most fiercely around the question of sex. Hardly any one is willing to allow others their freedom on this point.”

I use affiliate links on this blog when possible. Affiliate links include Amazon, Bookshop, Abebooks; and less frequently Powell's and DriveThruRPG. I may earn a small commission if you click through and make purchases.

I run ads on this site to help pay the bills and keep the lights on, including Google, Amazon, and, a scrappy indie network, ComicAd. If you use an ad blocker, consider becoming an ongoing supporter on Patreon, Bandcamp, or Ko-Fi to chip in and continue guilt free.

Some images on this site are created using AI/ML generators (MidJourney and Dall-E) when posts otherwise wouldn't have pictures or they seem fun to me to add.
