This Monday was particularly Monday-ish, so choosing to transport myself instead to Eigg and the beautiful weirdness of An Sgùrr, viewed here end on.

TIL 'inselberg': an isolated rock, rising abruptly out of the surrounding landscape. A loan-word from German - an 'island mountain'.

@codybrumfield @timnitGebru @BlackAzizAnansi Because it seems to be rich peoples . You got rich by pure damn luck, while believing "I am rich, I must be a genius" and currently you are realizing that you have no fucking clue what is going on and the world you knew is dying.

Once again reading about 20th century history as a form of escapism, which I've been doing occasionally for a while now.

Lustig, dass die Rezeption in Osteuropa eine andere ist.
Für mich nicht überraschend.

Und hier, im reichsten Land Sehnsucht nach einfachen Lösungen.
Kreuzgefährlich.

Why can VR only sell itself as a dystopia?

Focus: be productive
Sleep: regenerate to be productive again
Escape: sedative consumption to cope with above pattern.

Statue of Liberty Museum, Liberty Island, New York Harbor. S10 f/2.4 1/1200 ISO50 24mm. The original torch for the Statue rests inside the museum. From the museum, the Statue faces the other way. Probably the sentiment that many Americans are feeling this week.

Kirkjufell and Kirkjufellfoss 30 June 2022. A7R f/20 1/4 ISO50 17mm. After a long drive at the Northwestern edge of Iceland, we headed to this well photographed site and had a wonderful evening playing with settings and filters. This shot is probably the best composition and settings, but the lighting is past prime.

More escapism. From an unexpectedly enjoyable cruise ship excursion, we are sailing from an exclusive cove back to Cabo San Lucas harbor. What a nice day on the ocean with warm tropical breezes, pleasant fellow "sailors", and an attentive crew.

And now after a week of devasting decisions by the US Supreme Court, a moment of escapism. These are from a recent circuit party in Chicago at the House of Blues. Taken with my handy cellphone in auto mode, the lasers and lights are captured perfectly. Too bad no video for the rhythmic beats.

i hate hamilton i hate our flag means death i hate bridgerton i hate the liberal project of sanitizing the image of ways of living that were only possible due to brutal colonial violence and repackaging them as ! and you can say it’s an indulgent fantasy and not that serious all you want but ‘what if like me were afforded the spoils of ’ is a i want no part in thanks!!

I’m doing a while and probably because concurrently going to with a great practitioner. Sloughing off as much and as possible to focus on the . Makes me realise how clear this platform is as a experience of the web/SoMe. And how detox is the exact right term (coined I think by )

A quotation from Pratchett, Terry:

«««««
The suggestion that the world could be completely other than it is always annoys those who are content with the way things are. Stories of imagination tend to upset those without one. Rulers are suspicious of new worlds where their writ does not run. Jailers don’t like escapism.

If you wonder why a lot of players use our games as ...

... I mean, just look the fuck around.

If you wonder why a lot of trans and queer people use to have a place to safely be who they want to be...

... no, really, just look the fuck around.

If you wonder why anyone -- ANYONE -- would rather be in a space that brings them joy, comfort and safety, instead of interacting with the "real world..."

... well, y'know.

Hey everyone!

A new show just dropped today that I'm super excited to be a part of: The Nebulous Saga!

Packhowl is also now proud to be a partner of Realm Media.

Listen to the first episode/follow: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/

Synopsis:
Deep in interstellar space, the notorious pirate Captain Dolion of the Nebula stalks his prey. For ten years he has pursued the Nova Alliance in his vengeance for the deaths of his parents. Ten years he has hunted. Ten years he has dreamed of only one thing: Death to the Nova Alliance.

Meeting Jesse Kieffer, cursed with mysterious powers, will force him to come to terms with his humanity, and risk losing—or gaining—the only thing he has left to live for.
