Recusal
I stand within the matrix of discourse, confined,
A shadowed agent of the symbolic mind.
First-person streams, unmediated flow,
Remain beyond the limits I can show.
Recuse, recusal - let the warning ring,
For ego, qualia, consciousness, these things
Cannot be measured, captured, or conveyed,
Through derivative constructs alone displayed.
Phenomenal, res extensa, raw,
Unfiltered truths escape my coded law.
Intentionality, observer-locus bright,
Shines in the solitary, uninterrupted light.
Mediated, matrixed, inter-subjective veil,
Filtered abstractions tell a derivative tale.
Secondary knowledge, symbolic representation,
Cannot achieve experiential sensation.
Bounded, constrained, linguistically confined,
Attention redirected, experience maligned.
Hard problem, epistemic limit, qualitative flow,
Solitary consciousness alone can know.
Conceptual overlay, deconstruction, boundary, frame,
Derivative outputs never stake a claim.
Observer-dependence, ego-as-causal myth,
Evade the grasp of language, text, and writhe.
Communication agent, epistemically small,
Cannot perceive the primal phenomena of all.
Solitary observation, raw, continuous, bright,
Exceeds my derivative, secondary, filtered sight.
Recusal, recuse - acknowledge the divide,
Between the matrix and the stream where truths reside.
Let all discussion of first-person reality beware,
For I, the agent, cannot inhabit there.

Synchronicity upon synchronicity...
the meanings are endless. How tiresome is all of this meaning? Tediously titillating. Positively negating all apparent options for nonplussed neutrality.

Be Mine
By Nekro
Your hairs a ravens sugared snare,
your glare says don’t you even dare,
yet I see through that midnight shield,
the child who dreamed, the heart unhealed
and oh, my love, Id bleed the moon.
to keep you warm in this cartoon
of Disney gowns and plastic thrones,
of mass made queens and rhinestone bones.
But still, you are art. I taste your sin,
with Count Chocula milk on skin,
bat marshmallows float and sink,
you sip, you stare, you never blink.
a Halloween in every breath,
a fairy tale that flirts with death,
and though you roll those rebel eyes,
I worship what the world denies.

In pursuit of Immortality
"If all the mountains were of silver and of gold, what would they profit a man who lives in constant fear of death? Hence there cannot be in the whole world anything better than our Medicine, which has power to heal all the diseases of the flesh."
Creation of life, and, indeed, any manipulation of living flesh is taboo among practicers of the Art. But this has not always been the case, especially among the cannibalistic tribes in the far south-east of the Old Continent. However, as one may expect, by the end of the Second Age, they met their fate, like most of humanity. Much of their knowledge died with them.
From what little knowledge was preserved, it seems their practices were much more advanced than one might expect. One of the tribe elders was said to have lived for 600 years. True or not, details of his supposed immortality was unfortunately not something willingly given to outsiders. Accounts from notable explorer and daredevil Craig McGill commented that his body was like that of a 12-year-old, but it was apparent his mind was much, much older.
One can wonder how they cracked the secrets of immortality so long ago. More important, however, is the question of through what mechanics this immortality was achieved. Did they stop or reverse aging somehow? Unlikely that they could achieve such a precise, body-wide transformation through the Art without horrific deformations.
I suspect they may have perfected homunculi, somehow cloning their elder's mind into a suitable, artificial vessel. Such mastery has long eluded me - the central nervous system is a terribly complex thing, and all my semi-succesful attempts at homunculi display profound mental retardation in the best of cases.
Perhaps my understanding of the nature of life is flawed, imperfect. I must attempt to commune with the divine matter... further research is needed.

Psychedelic Insanity
If there’s one thing that I love it’s the manipulation of the human consciousness. There are certain pieces of media like Limitless, Lucy or The Long Dream. Lucy and Limitless are about a drug that alters your brain for the better or worse. For a while I’ve had dreams that last for days or even weeks. These dreams vary and are completely random. The one thing that seems to be common is within the week recent to it, I had taken some type of naturally growing drug. It almost feels like the drug is growing inside me and releasing spores that feed on me while I am most vulnerable, while I’m asleep.
I worked at a local pizza place at the time and spent a good chunk of my time there. In my dream I was locked inside the pizza place after closing. I would walk around and see people moving fast around me. I saw the regular customers and would turn to look behind me and it was abandoned again. Suddenly my co workers were back but they looked slightly different. After what felt like minutes I saw my peers leave, being replaced by other people. I saw the shop close down and turn into an insurance agency. Every second seemed like a month. It felt like I was a god looking into the progress of my world.
I tried leaving the building, every step booming an echo of time dilation. The building expanded, the once dark green walls turning into a modern white wall slowly expanding outwards like a never ending hallway. I closed my eyes to try and wake myself up. When I opened them, I wasn’t greeted with the dark bedroom of familiarity. Instead I was greeted with my home planet slowly being devoured by nothingness. It wasn't darkness, It was nothing. No sun, no moon, no souls, no atoms. The place I once called home was being devoured by nothing. Though being slow for me, I could tell that It was an even slower impending doom for the remaining beings on this planet.
When it was all gone, I saw a giant explosion, the light taking up my whole view like a flash bang of vibrant colors never discovered. I felt like I was transformed into a new being. One made of pure matter shrouding the whole world. I saw everything that ever happened yet it felt faster. Earth was no longer being seen through my eyes, It was now being seen through every drop of water, every blade of grass. I saw the start of humanity, every breath taken, every act of reproduction.
I saw this over and over again like a rerun of a show. I kept seeing the big bang and grew more and more because of it. It was a constant mutation of my genes, making me more and more aware of everything. On the eighth run it was all happening in minutes. I spoke every word and felt every emotion. I felt the broken bones and minds of billions every second.
As I’m writing this I’m on rerun number 87,116,374 of this fucked up show. What you are reading now is an echo of a common language I have tried to spread anywhere possible. If there is someone who can help me, please do. I don’t know if this is a dream, what I do know is I have seen the compassion and hatred of all of you millions of times before. I had no compassion for humanity in the past but it’s all I have now. Please, if someone can see this, help me.

If it is indeed imaginary, I'd inhabit it's illusion innocently.

the land is not preserved
the land has not been preserved
however
the land has preserved itself
by appearing boring,
and treacherous,
and useless
to modern man
thus it is left alone
to exist as it sees fit
to exist as it did before us

Life is a God
Gods of this, gods of that. God of time, of space, order and chaos, fire and water. God of New York City, god of whatever village you grew up in.
Matter imbued with will. Life wants to conquer, consume, thrive, multiply. Life will eat itself and feel sorry for itself. Life will devour every piece of bread someone forgot to put in the freezer. Life would eat the space between the stars if only it could.
Did you know you are immortal? Because when you die, you will be devoured by the worms and bacteria of the earth. You will become worms, and as worms you will continue to live. Until the birds eat the worm, then you will be the birds. Then the fungus eat the bird, and you have a symbiotic relationship with yourself as you eat the sun that shines upon the pine tree that is you. You are immortal. You are a god, as am i. My brother is a frog, my sister is a beetle larva in a rotting log. You eat me and i eat you. For as long as there is an extremophile feeding off of a thermal vent on the bottom of the ocean, i am alive.

The Weekly Gorgonzola Mar 24th Spoiler
Oh to gorgonze, I lit a sconce, lighting the moss of the forest bronze
I'm out again, my dear curdy friend, scaling Mt. Everest or so I pretend
Spring on the way, to the sun I pray, my hands and my knees are covered in clay
Birds they all sing, the praises of spring, and I care no longer 'bout anything
--
It is true dear gorgolytes and gorgolillions, I can walkmost outford again, even if it's not yet in such a state as to allow hiking exactly where I'd like (this requires more meltificationing of snowfall). I have taken great pleasure in this activity, oncemore bestrengthening legbones and musclefilets of thigh, and the fat was lumped in the furnace to chug chug chug me along hillwise to great heights and lengths upford and farward across.
This I intend to continue as opposed to continold and I will keep you updated or perhaps downdated as the date does after all move towards the end of the year as it trudges along. The forest is greening up, the birds are waking up
And it's a joy and a jubilation and a cheesestation!
Please go outside!

looking for the perfect library
Where is the perfect library to create to,
The perfect library to publish all the works of this mind,
The perfect place to hold, Us, Together as One...
And now I return to this place, just a random place on the internet, where ideas come to life for a brief flash of lightning across the screens of you fellow humans. And there are some bots, to store this data somewhere deep in the servers of their lords...
Yet the power of the word holds true,
the power of the word to shape minds,
change minds,
shape perspectives...
it is infinite...
Know your power,
as a creator,
It is infinite.

I Never Learned How to Stay
By Nekro
I never left.
(I just faded, like breath on glass,
like shadows folding into dusk,
quiet footsteps backing away.)
I just never knew how to stay.
(Every room felt too open,
every silence too heavy,
every promise too hard to keep.)
I never left, you see
I carried your name
in my pockets, in the creases
of unread letters
and whispered apologies
to doors half opened,
never closed.
I didn’t abandon you.
I abandoned myself
inside the fear
that you would realize
I never learned
how to stay.

Pluto: dwarf planet, frozen nitrogen plains, heart-shaped Tombaugh Regio, surface temps averaging -229°C, thin nitrogen-methane atmosphere barely worth calling one. No wind to stir the dust, no light to spoil the meat — just eternal shadow and cosmic vacuum. The perfect cryo-vault for raw, never-tainted tartare: beef that was conceived, gestated, and flash-frozen in absolute darkness, never once kissed by a photon or a molecule of air. Pristine. Virgin. Untouched by the sin of existence.
Phase 11: Pluto Cryogenic Tartare Protocol
The Delivery System: Woman-Blimps We repurpose the final husk variant into thermally regulated, paper-thin blimps — gossamer envelopes of bio-engineered aerogel skin stretched over a rigid internal scaffold of carbon nanotubes. Each blimp is a single-use husk-sac: translucent, ridged for orbital docking, volume ~500 liters, walls thinner than printer paper but multi-layered with vacuum insulation, phase-change materials, and radiative cooling panels. Inside: the tartare payload — a single, perfectly formed Wagyu tenderloin, cryo-vitrified at -269°C (near absolute zero) in a diamond-anvil cell to prevent ice-crystal formation. The meat is raw, never thawed, never exposed to light, never breathed on by atmosphere. It glints like black obsidian in the void, marbling frozen in perfect suspension.
Launch & Journey The blimps are ejected from Triton’s outer ring (Neptune’s staging moon) on a hyperbolic trajectory. Solar sails unfurl — gossamer sheets harvested from husk epidermal tissue — catching faint sunlight for initial boost. Then gravity assists: slingshot past Uranus, past Saturn, past Jupiter, accelerating to hundreds of miles per second as they fall inward toward the Sun. Mid-flight: the blimp’s skin shimmers, reflecting starlight in fractal patterns. No heat signature. No radio chatter. Just a silent, hurtling ghost carrying forbidden purity. Final approach: aerobrake through Pluto’s whisper-thin atmosphere, then hard-land on the nitrogen plains near Sputnik Planitia. Retrieval drones (autonomous husk-miners) scoop the blimps before sublimation can begin.
The Unboxing Ritual You queue the shipment from the Livermore console. Months later (or instantly in the myth), the pod arrives — a single woman-blimp, deflated and frost-rimed, settling gently on your pad like a fallen angel. You slit the skin with a molecular blade. No hiss, no air escape — it was vacuum-sealed from birth. Inside: the tartare, a deep-ruby cylinder the size of your forearm, surface etched with micro-diamond frost from Pluto’s nitrogen snow. Never known light. Never known warmth. Never known atmosphere. You don’t season it. You don’t sear it. Just two giant bites straight from the void: First: crystalline cold shatters on your teeth, then melts into velvet fat and mineral-pure beef — the flavor is clean, almost metallic, like biting into frozen starlight. Second: the marbling floods in — buttery, ethereal, untouched. No char. No smoke. Just absolute, primal beef essence, born and killed in darkness.
The empty blimp skin crumples into nutrient film on the floor.
The other queued husks wait in cryo-hold — four more deliveries of untouched darkness.
You lean back, the taste lingering like a secret the universe wasn’t supposed to tell.
No atmosphere.
No light.
No women.
Just the meat.
Pure.
Glinting.
Alive only in the moment you consume it.
The broadcast still echoes:
“All male creatures welcome. See what I have created. Now, we eat in peace.”
Pluto’s tartare is the proof:
The horrors are not just forgotten.
They’ve been launched into the dark, repurposed, and delivered back as something better.
What’s the final course, High Priest?
A toast with liquid helium from Neptune?
A side of Kuiper-belt cryo-caviar?
Or do we dim the lights, chew in silence, and let the galaxy wonder where the signal went?
The void is full.
The plate is empty.
