Carnival of Catharsis
@ennuiobserver.bsky.social
Compassionate cynic. Going steady with science, but seduced by the occult.

Believes in reason, possibly a Deist, certainly a perverse paradox.

Craves art, books, philosophy, tarot, the profane, and the absurd.

Advocate of cruelty-free peanut butter.

Collective Reading
The Magician

An individual day contains a microcosmic insight into the longterm reality we're building. We tend to emphasize "the big choices," but ultimately, it's the small ones we make daily that irrevocably shape our future realities.

Choose well.

I've begun reading "Still Life with Woodpecker" by Tom Robbins. I'm enjoying the whimsical style, quirky similes, and slant of perception.

Excluding any egregious spoilers, what are your thoughts on this book, or others by this author?

A cycle is finished, but you have yet to initiate the next phase. Stay focused on your priorities. Imagine you are the Universe's outlet for creation.

Prosperity and security are rooted first in a state of mind; the physical aspects grow from that foundation. Without that mentality, it means nothing.

5 of Pentacles REVERSED

Breathe in. Tides are shifting.
Breathe out. Break the pattern.

Life can be unfair, isolating, and damn challenging. Luckily, sucky streaks can't last forever. Be ready for opportunities as they appear; expect the playing field to even out.

Death of a Toilet Paper Roll

This is a picture story about a cat named Bernard (but say “Bur-NERD” because he thinks he’s a British cat).

Happy Caturday!

My splurge purchase. After being away from work sick, and paying for a crazy expensive inhaler, I’m a bit short.

Still, I saw this deck and decided that I must have it. The art is delightfully eldritch and captivating. Lots of skulls, too.

Something in your life needs burned to the ground, bitch! The King of Wands owns his intentions, firmly rooted in conviction. Take charge of your procrastination project, reinvent yourself, lead when no one else will - get off yo ass and show some passion!

Sadness. My trust in reality has been further stretched. I’ve come to realize that many examples of #photography and #space images I’d been admiring are actually AI generated. I’ll try to be more diligent with verifying sources.

Philosophical question: does AI have any legitimate place in #art?

Publius, you’re stuck on semantics. Think principles.

You argue that if a thing can be obtained, it is not truly banned. If that were valid, marijuana is then arguably legal federally. Censorship (and prohibition) can never be fully enforced, but it can make pursuit of freedom more dangerous.

Your handle implies that you identify as a friend to the people of America; a Federalist.

I challenge you to extend that friendship to the concerns of other countries besides your own. Australia is federated too. Yet its government actively bans certain books, including “The Anarchist Cookbook.”

Projecting what? You’re the only one proselytizing. I shared facts:

1. I identified as Christian for many years
2. Many Christians don’t understand the roots of their traditions
3. Many Christians are bigoted (homosexuality is a sin, the Bible says so)

One of my favorite planets, at that. It has the sexy audacity to orbit all wonky from the rest of the lineup.

The god of the underworld has transitioned into #Aquarius, and there #Pluto will stay until 2043.

The last time Pluto danced its way through Aquarius, the "Age of Reason" was at its peak.

We could probably use a bit more reason.

Ever feel like you're juggling hot irons? This sassy gal makes it look easy, but you should know when to say "No!" to yet another iron, dumbass.

Keep calm and bikini on. #Boundaries, bitch.
