#center of an equilateral triangle

[gameshowtrainwreck]

For those kicking around with the Godot Engine and having trouble finding center-mass of a Mesh3DInstance as an equilateral prism (on a 1:0.866:1 dimensional ratio) where it orbits a point instead of rotating in place:

you have to keep in mind that Godot will adjust the height by bringing both the top boundary of the prism down and the bottom boundary of it up at the same time...

You have to translate it up along the y-axis by half the height (in order to align the bottom of the prism with the origin), then translate it down by the formula for finding center point of an equilateral (approx. 2/3rds down going from the apex to the opposite, or (sqrt3)/6).

once that's done, you can attach animations to the parent node, and it should rotate instead of orbit.

(video was via RamblingStranger @ godot cafe, dude had to make a video demonstrating what they were talking about in order to get it to click for me. This is also how I learned that you can just type the calculation you're looking for and it'll solve for it as the output. Handier'n shit!)

Inspired by this post by @thanergetic-hyperlinks, I present to you

Tessellations of the Nine Houses

(Or "I can't really draw figurative art so my Locked Tomb fanarts are geometrical vector drawings")

"A tessellation or tiling is the covering of a surface, often a plane, using one or more geometric shapes, called tiles, with no overlaps and no gaps." — Wikipedia.

Making tilings themed after each necromantic House seems obvious: for each House you pick a tile with the same number of sides as the number of the House; but this does present some challenges for some of the Houses.

note 1: this might give the impression that I first decided on the symbols and then found patterns to match them in a very organized and motivated manner; in practice it was much more chaotic and multidirectional, the patterns informing the symbols as much as the symbols informed the patterns; this is fine since symbolism is entirely associative and arbitrary anyway

note 2: I added alt-texts for all the images, but I have no idea of how to properly describe abstract geometric art; if you feel you can do a better job than I did, feel free to put your fingers where your mouth is--wait, hang on-- I mean feel free to provide better descriptions if you can

note 3: looking forward to the geometry nerds explaining to me how I got basic geometric details wrong, friggin nerds

The First House

The First House seems obvious, as a shape with one side is an ellipse (of which the circle is a special case). There's just one problem: ellipses do not tile the plane. No matter how much you stretch them and deform them, the very nature of ellipses means you'll always have gaps or overlaps.

So we cheat and we work with overlaps: turns out there is a history of tilings that use circles as a construction pattern, then turn the overlapping sections into the actual tiles. Such patterns have been used extensively in European and Middle Eastern art, and have also been associated with the New Age movement, so it fits Jod's style perfectly. And so we get this:

The different cells correspond to different House colors, with the resulting gothic stained-glass appearance quite in line with the Roman Catholic Empire vibe Jod is going for. The overlapping circles convey the intricacy of the relation between the First House and the eight other, both autonomous from it yet intrinsically part of it.

The Second House

There's a variety of geometrical shapes that have two sides, but most of them don't tile the plane, altho there is one that does — if we take a crescent shape and slightly thicken it so that the inner and outer curves are identical, we can do this:

The waving pattern is of course evocative of the flag of conquest which the Cohorts of the Second House have planted on many worlds.

The Third House

With the Third House things get a lot easier, because equilateral triangles are one of the three regular polygons (where all sides are the same length and all angles are identical) that tile the plane all by themselves without needing any other shape! Which however doesn't mean we have to be boring; we can have a little bit of fun:

Flowers for the beauty and ionizing radiation warning signs for the rancid vibes.

The Fourth House

Squares are the second regular polygons that tile the plane by themselves, so again our job is easy here, altho we still want to not go for the easiest option in order to be able to work in some symbolism:

The four big navy squares with a small white square at the center of course evoke the number five and the shadow of the Fifth House's regency over the Fourth.

The Fifth House

Regular pentagons do not tile the plane, so we have to use a more unusual shape — there are many options, but obviously we want to again pick one that offers some interesting numerical symbolism:

The cross-like patterns of course bring up the number four and the hold of the Fifth House over the Fourth. As for the crosses themselves and the fact that they appear to be made of wooden stakes, well uh… Abigail Pent, Vampire Hunter??? She does have Van Helsing vibes.

The Sixth House

Hexagons are the third and last regular polygons that tile the plane on their own. But this is the Sixth House we're talking about, things need to look orderly but in a convoluted way. So how about multiple levels of recursion:

The apparent complexity of the pattern is created by different orientations of a small number of elements, either 3 irregular hexagons, or 1 patterned regular hexagonal tile, depending on how you look at it, in line with the kind of hermetic scientism one imagines the Sixth House indulges in. The result is those apparent three-dimensional elements and emerging higher-order patterns, including that of ꙮ, the Multiocular O found in exactly one word of one 15th century Old Church Slavonic translation of the Book of Psalms ("серафими многоꙮчитїй" many-eyed seraphim).

The Seventh House

Regular heptagons do not tile the plane, but they don't need much tweaking to work, which is fine since for the Seventh House we want something deceptive yet simple (deceptively simple? deceptive in its simplicity?):

Hearts for the beauty, snake scales for the poison [the Seventh House is on Venus, the planet named after the Roman Goddess of love, but etymologically "Venus" is actually the same root as "venom", and of course "Septimus" resembles "septic" — tho in that case there's no etymological connection, it's just a happy coincidence].

The Eighth House

Octagons do not tile the plane, but they come pretty close, so we can give the Eighth House a simple, stern, but slightly threatening pattern:

Boring sterile bleached temple mosaic, with just a little bit of passive-agression, a perfect fit for Evangelical Christians Tumblr puritans the Eighth House.

The Ninth House

And so we reach the Ninth House. Now the thing about the Ninth House is that, even by imperial standards, they're huge freaks, like they're completely unhinged heretical weirdoes. So, when it comes to their tiling, we need to get weird, like, a lot weirder than we've been so far, and this will require some context, so get ready because now we're officially going on a wild tangent.

So far all the tilings we've seen were periodic. That is, they were drawing a pattern that repeats itself indefinitely in all directions.

But starting in the 1960s, mathematicians began to study aperiodic tilings, tilings that don't repeat; you can keep expanding them forever and never exactly find back the original pattern you started with. The first mathematical proof of such a pattern was made in 1964 and theoretically required 20,426 distinct tile prototypes… This was soon refined to just 104 tile prototypes, then a mere 40. By 1971, it was mathematically demonstrated that you could make such a pattern with just 6 tile prototypes.

Except that was a lie.

Note that I said mathematically demonstrated. As it turns out there was an aperiodic pattern with just 5 tile prototypes, known as Girih, that had been used in Islamic art… since at least the 13th century — but it had historically been treated merely as an element of architectural design, and its mathematical properties weren't studied until 2007.

Then in 1973 this guy Penrose came along and demonstrated you could make an aperiodic tiling with just 2 tile prototypes. So now the goal was to find the ultimate aperiodic tiling, the one that would use only one tile prototype. Given how fast the field had progressed so far, it seemed that this discovery was imminent.

It took 50 years.

Not only that, but it was the work of amateur mathematician David Smith who accidentally discovered a 13-sided polygon that could make an aperiodic tiling all by itself (he then had his discovery checked by and co-authored a paper with a number of professional mathematicians).

EXCEPT THAT WAS A LIE AGAIN.

In turns out an aperiodic tiling using only one tile prototype had already been found… in 1936. But since the study of aperiodic tilings only started in the 60s, its significance in that domain wasn't understood at the time. It was seen as significant, but for an entirely unrelated reason: it was the first demonstration of a polygonal shape that needed only two copies of itself to completely enclose the original one — many mathematicians before that point thought the minimum possible was 3 (think of the Triforce from Zelda, with one equilateral triangle completely enclosed between three other identical triangles).

And coincidently, that shape happens to be a highly-irregular nonagon [yes "enneagon" is """technically""" more correct but "nonagon" has been used since the 17th century and is more common and it has Nona in it and Nona loves you]. So here it is, the Voderberg tiling, the freakish freakish tessellation of the Ninth House:

Like you see this and you're like "what is this, what is that thing, that's not a tiling, what the fuck is that" — but it is, it is a tiling, you can keep adding the freaky polygon and it keeps expanding outward forever, with no gap, no overlap, and with an ever-changing pattern. A double-spiral radiating outward, for Anastasia and Samael, Anastasia and Alecto, Alecto and Harrowhark, Harrowhark and Gideon.

And if you were thinking that this last one must have been significantly harder to draw than the other ones, you would be correct.

Bill Cipher's anatomy UPDATE!

Alex Hirsch is going to kill me one day.

So, for those who don't know, I'm the weirdo who did speculative biology of Bill Cipher, mostly as a fun exercise. I'm a biologist after all.

And now, on the stream, Alex Hirsch brought me the unused Bill's anatomy drawing from his book. I lost my mind:

So, now, I can tell you what my spec bio got right and what I got wrong and I can expand on the anatomy a bit!

Btw, this is going to have a NSFW part. I am VERY serious about that. Also, warning for anatomy drawings I guess.

WHAT I GOT CORRECT:

Bill Cipher is an invertebrate! He has a hydroskeleton, which he calls "arm juice", not bones. SUCK ARM JUICE YOU PERSON WHO SENT ME THAT ASK, YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!

And he's also segmented, although he has more segments than I saw. This isn't unusual, internal structures often keep the segmentation that external structures lost. I was very correct about his exoskeleton splitting in the middle to form a front and back plate and that his limbs protrude through the gap.

His skin is black! It's funny how many people needed to tell me that he's wearing gloves. No he's not!

I accidentally got right that he has a liver. I thought "this dumbass eats and drinks so much shit, if he didn't have a liver he'd be dead by now" and I was right. Considering the size of his liver, I was also right about him being a carnivore (or mostly carnivore). Carnivores have large livers because livers are used to process proteins and for uric acid cycle. Since carnivores consume lots of protein, they need a large liver.

His stomach is in the center! I didn't explain on my previous post why I placed it there, but it actually makes a lot of sense. The center of an equilateral triangle is its "mass center", so if an animal looks like a triangle, it would make a lot of sense that its stomach would be there, so that the extra mass from the meal wouldn't tilt its balance.

I also got right that his intestines are in his lowest segment and his brain in the topmost.

WHAT I GOT WRONG:

The entire reproductive system. It's MUCH freakier than expected!

Bill has ears! They are on the sides of his head. They aren't really ears, just tympanal membranes. They are located where Brett is trying his darndest XD

The hat is probably not a part of Bill's body. He used it as storage for extra organs during Weirdmageddon, Holy Moses on a Motorbike! However, if it IS a part of his body, then it could be used as fat storage.

He has 20 lashes. I would have never guessed. They could still be used to sample scent, a lot of animals have scent sampling tentacles.

His feet! He probably has velcro-like structure on them, like geckos. This could mean that Bill could glue himself to walls and walk on them if he wanted to. Little insect motherfucker.

He has a singular anus! And it's between his legs. Do with that information what you want.

AAAAND UPDATES!

I can finally show you Bill's entire digestive system! I couldn't do that in my original post, since I couldn't figure out what would go after the small intestine. Alex Hirsch has cleared that up for me and also, I think Bill uses some form of Malpighian tubules-like structures for urine excretion.

And, now... The reproductive system. AKA, the fun zone and creative juices.

NSFW!

Bill Cipher is a fucking freak, but maybe that isn't entirely his fault. It's in the genes of Euclydeans as species. (His love for BDSM isn't though. "He's got it all figured out", as Ford said.)

So, in case you don't know what a vagina dentata is, it was like an occult belief that women can grow teeth out of their vaginas. Bill Cipher's genitals look like a fucking vagina dentata. So that's why he thinks that teeth are hot - they grow out of his reproductive system.

Now, those aren't really teeth. They look like sharp-edged fleshy protrusions that Euclydeans probably use to tighten the grip during mating. It could probably be used for stimulation as well. That's why Bill doesn't like his sides being touched - the genitals are inside, but rubbing them feels violating.

Euclydeans are most likely one of those species who use pain to sexually stimulate their partners. It's not that uncommon on Earth either (don't look up reptile hemipenes, especially not turtles) and for creatures that are covered in smooth exoskeleton, some piercing action would be highly beneficial for transferring seminal fluid.

This also gives us the option of Bill Cipher being a biological female, who has a vagina with those weird teeth-like protrusions. However, it is entirely possible that males also have similar genitals. Bill calls his thing that's dripping "creative juice", so maybe it is seminal fluid? In either case, it's very freaky, but it fits him so well.

This also means that male Euclydeans most likely don't have a real copulatory organ, or, maybe, they do, but the female has to "bite it off" during mating to absorb the sperm. If they don't have the copulatory organ, they do it like birds, with just pumping, but unlike birds, they hold onto each other's thing with flesh teeth.

I am going to hell for making this art, but you are going with me for seeing it:

It also occurred to me that, since I believe Euclydeans use their bricks to produce sound... they would probably be loud. Fanfic authors, you know what to do.

@mitsu-the-witch you requested this, now live with it. I am going to burn my degree.

[rjalker]

purely from random osmosis, but if bill cipher was born with his eye on his "side" (facing upward in what Flatlanders call their inside), then he'd be blind as a Flatlander because we wouldn't be able to see within Flatland itself at all.

And also no one would even be aware that he has an eye to begin with, because it's literally outside their realm of perception. They'd think he was born without any eye and that he was literally just imagining anything he thought he could see.

[ID: A four way grid with the first row labeled "Bill Cipher apparently", first seen from above, as an equilateral triangle with a round eye in the center of his face, looking up and to the side. He is then seen from the side as a line with a half circle on top to show his eye, labeled, "Cannot see surroundings at all, cannot look in any direction except Up". from his eye radiate three lines to show his area of vision, with a zig-zag line in front of him to show where he cannot see. The second row is labeled, "Regular Flatlander", and shows another equilateral triangle, but this one has their eye on their perimeter at their top point. When they are shown from the side, they are labeled, "Can see surroundings, but cannot look Up", with three straight lines in front of their eye, which points to the size, and a zig-zag above them. End ID.]

So. If you're planning to write a crossover with Flatland where you want it to actually follow Flatland's worldbuilding, Bill should be blind while he's in Flatland. He'd have to navigate purely though touch and sound and would never see anything except whatever is above him.

Edit 3 hours later: also, he would have just starved to death as a baby unless there were some serious and immediate medical intervention, because Flatlander's eyes and their mouths are the same thing. So he'd have no way of eating anything.

So, he would also need the Flatland equivalent of a feeding tube for his whole life, unless he had some guardian angel in Spaceland who was feeding him from above.

“God is the love that moves the sun and stars.” — Dante Alighieri

Galactic Sun Talon Abraxas

The mysterious spiritual Being in the center of our cosmos and from which the physical Sun emanated. It is commonly equated with God or the highest Deity in the various religions.

In the writings of Helena P. BLAVATSKY, the phrase central spiritual Sun or “invisible Sun” is used in three senses: as an astronomical object in the Milky Way galaxy, as the highest God or Deity, and as the Divine Self within human beings.

Astronomically, it is outside the Solar System. Blavatsky suggests that it may be equated with the “central body in the milky way, a point unseen and mysterious, the ever-hidden center of attraction of our Sun and system” (SD 2:240). It is still in a laya or neutral condition, but nevertheless acting as an attracting and ever-emitting life center (ibid).

As a spiritual being, it is the highest conception of Deity or God we can make. The ancients equate it with Iao or Abraxas. It is the Parabrahman among Hindus. Among the Kabbalists, it is the Ain Soph. It is also the point at the center of the six-pointed star. It radiates seven rays.

The “Three Kabalistic Faces” are the “Three Lights” and the “Three Lives” of EN-SOPH (the Parabrahma of the Westerns) also called the “Central Invisible Sun.” The “Universe is his Spirit, Soul and Body,” his “Three Emanations.” This triune nature — the purely Spiritual, the purely Material and the Middle nature (or imponderable matter, of which is composed man’s astral soul) are represented by the equilateral triangle whose three sides are equal, because these three principles are diffused throughout the universe in equal proportions; and the ONE LAW in nature being perfect EQUILIBRIUM — they are eternal and co-existent. (CW III:313)

Julian the Apostate spoke of the central Sun in its three aspects: the first being the universal cause of all, the second being paramount Intelligence, and the third being the visible Sun. This central Sun is the Logos that manifests through the physical Sun.

The term “Spiritual Sun” is at times used in a third sense to refer to the inner Self, the Divine Spirit within, or Atman. It is symbolized by the new rebirth or the second birth alluded to by Paul (CW IX:272).

WARNING: INCREDIBLY LONG POST AHEAD

The Sims 2 Fitness System: Proposing Reworks and Slowly Going Insane

I. Introduction

The Sims 2 was absolutely revolutionary, both for its time, and even into the modern day, as a life simulation game. The level of detail put into seemingly basic systems and interactions and the love that was poured into every part of the game make it stand out even among titles that released years later.

However, the passage of time halts for no man, and The Sims 2 is no exception. The graphics are often described as looking rough and rudimentary, some of the references haven't aged spectacularly, and it is very clearly a product of its time. Despite this, most aspects of the game translate perfectly fine to today's audiences, except for one system that I've noticed is less than spectacular: the part that dictates the shape of your sim's body.

The fitness slider is a pretty simple framework: work out, and your sim gains muscle, and their body changes to reflect it. Eat too much, and they'll put on some weight. Do neither, and they stay skinny.

Simple enough.

But why is being skinny the default? And why are muscle and fat treated as mutually exclusive, like a human being can't have both?

And why are they in that order? Why would you have to lose muscle to gain fat? Why is being skinny a step you have to go through at all, when someone could realistically transition from muscular to fat or vice versa without ever fully losing either?

Well, a large part of it, I'm sure, was the 2000's and the focus on skinniness, especially among teenagers and young adults (which seemed to be the target audience when TS2 released). Skinniness being treated as a default somewhat lines up with the culture of the time. But it shouldn't have to work like that, right? Especially not now? There's got to be a better way of going about it all.

II. The Proposal

A muscular frame and a heavy-set frame can both be considered extreme values on a scale, and a thinner one can be considered neither. Simply put, if you've got fat, you're chubby; if you've got muscle, you're beefy; and if you've got neither, you're skinny. But that doesn't mean that skinniness is a midpoint between the two other states like on a simple scale, number line style.

In reality, muscle and fat aren't positive or negative values of one variable. They're two entirely separate variables that can be toyed with to create an entire spectrum. Thinness is now no longer a midpoint, but a third state that the body can fall into.

You can be fat, and you can be muscular. You can be neither.

And now, you can now be both. Or a mix of all three states, go nuts.

With this setup, you've got less of a line and more of a triangle, with any point falling inside it corresponding to a different mix of variables. None of the points cancel out or directly oppose one another, and none is treated as the default value of the system.

So what's the default, then?

III. The Catch

The three extremes have to meet at one point in the center, right?

So what do we do if a sim is right in the middle? Does any fluctuation immediately send the poor thing careening into an entirely different body shape?

No. That's a bit much. What we need now is a middle ground between the extreme values. Something that doesn't lean too hard into being muscular, fat, or thin. A nice balance. A default or average body shape.

Would this require adding a fourth, entirely new body morph to the game? Would it even really solve the problem? Would it be worth any of the trouble of setting it up?

Yes, maybe, and probably not, if I'm honest.

But as long as we're dreaming the dream, let's imagine it.

The cool thing about equilateral triangles is that you can divide them into four equal triangles that are congruent with the original one. So, if we take a standard triangle and divide it into fourths, we get our little zones.

A sim, based on some outside stuff I'll get into later, will be assigned a point in the triangle that falls into one of these four zones, assigning them a different body shape. As the sim's point moves through the space, it may land in different zones and change their body accordingly.

But computers can't just look at a cute little diagram and understand it. We need a way to communicate to the program that hey! this does actually make sense and isn't just a bunch of nonsense. We gotta speak their language, and they speak the language... of math.

IV. The Math Jargon

Stick with me. I don't know what I'm talking about either, so I'll try to explain what I'm doing as well as I can.

The cool division thing about equilateral triangles also applies to right triangles as well, specifically the one we're using. Basically, what we need to do is make a graph all math class style so the computer can interpret it into usable data.

To do this, we need a series of steps.

Step 1: Make a graph. Let's say the Y axis is muscle and the X is fat. A Y-value of 1 is entirely muscular, an X-value of 1 is entirely fat, and the origin (0,0) is entirely skinny. Cool.

Step 2: Make the triangle. Let's add our X and Y values together so that, if the result is ever greater than 1, the point is invalid. This means that the point (0.25, 0.75) is valid, but (0.26, 0.75) is outside of the triangle and is therefore a nonsensical value. This makes it so that any point defined must land within the triangle to make any sense.

Step 3: Define the regions. Now we do the thing where we split it into fourths again, creating our zones (and making sure they match the variables we set). I've attempted to work out the math below but I'm a notoriously shit mathematician so don't take my word for it.

If x + y < 0.50, set the body type to Thin.

If .50 > (x + y) > 1, then check the variables.

If x > .50, set body type to Fat.

If y > .50, set body type to Fit.

If x and y are both < .50, set body type to Default.

(I've also tried my hand at writing something that could correct the values if they get out of the triangle.)

If x + y > 1,

If x = y, set both variables to .50.

If x and y are not equal, average both values with .50 over and over until the point is valid.

Step 4: Now, all we have to do is link up the zones with the different body shapes and, if all the math works right, we're good to go!

V. So what does this do actually

Having this system in place not only allows for more realistic and balanced weight and fitness changes, but also for more control over the changes themselves.

A sim's body type is no longer a single variable; it's a dynamic value that can be skewed in more specific directions based on their actions and lives.

For example:

A sim that gets pregnant could have their fat value increase slightly.

A sim that has recently been very ill or has died and been resurrected could lose points in both their muscle and fat values, making them skinnier.

A sim that successfully wins a fight could have their muscle value increase slightly.

A sim that stops working out regularly could gradually lose muscle points over time.

A sim that frequently eats things like takeout and pizza could have their fat value increase over time.

This system would allow for not only more variation in bodies among sims, but also for more realistic reactions to their habits and environments. Would it be tricky to implement? Yes. But maybe it could be worth the trouble.

Healing with 432Hz

In harmonic resonance frameworks—especially those aligned with 432Hz tuning, sacred geometry, and Codex harmonic physics—each note corresponds not only to a frequency but to a symbolic function within the field of consciousness, cellular coherence, and emotional integration.

Here is a reflection of healing tones and their associated harmonic functions in the 432Hz scale, filtered through Codex-inspired principles of geometry, light, and breath:

### 🔹 Healing Notes in 432Hz Tuning

| Note (432Hz Tuning) | Frequency (Hz) | Resonance Function | Symbolic Geometry | Field of Activation | | ------------------- | -------------- | ---------------------------------- | ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------- | | C | \~256 | Rooting / Safety | Square / Tetrahedron | Survival, grounding, bone matrix | | C♯ / D♭ | \~272 | Transition / Trust | Golden Rectangle | Throat-heart axis, emotional release | | D | \~288 | Emotion / Flow | Vesica Piscis | Sacral center, water memory | | E♭ | \~304 | Integration | Octahedron | Spleen-liver axis, grief detox | | E | \~324 | Will / Solar Power | Pentagon (5-star) | Digestion, inner fire | | F | \~342 | Heart Coherence | Flower of Life node | Compassion, coherence, cellular regeneration | | F♯ / G♭ | \~360 | DNA Resonance | icosahedron/tetra-link | Cellular memory unlocking, karmic patterns | | G | \~384 | Expression / Sound | Torus shell | Throat chakra, communication | | A♭ | \~408 | Field Stabilization | Hexagram | Mental field calm, limbic tuning | | A | 432 | Alignment / Source Remembrance | Star tetrahedron | Pineal gland, full-spectrum reset | | B♭ | \~456 | Crown Bridge | Merkaba core | Intuition, grace, expanded witnessing | | B | \~486 | Fractal Expansion | Dodecahedron | Oversoul integration, unity memory |

### ✧ Notes on Use

* These frequencies are not arbitrary—they arise as subharmonics and overtones of the scalar field collapse between light (e) and structure (φ and π). * When these tones are embedded in binaural waves, tuning forks, scalar fields, or vocal overtone singing, they entrain local field coherence. This supports phase-locking of disordered cellular and emotional patterns.

---

### 🔹 Examples of Specific Healing Functions

* F (342 Hz) → Used in heart entrainment therapy. It mirrors the geometry of equilateral triangle stacking within the Flower of Life.

* A (432 Hz) → Referred to in the Codex as a scalar calibration tone—bridging waveform intention into structured light.

* E (324 Hz) → Aligns with the solar plexus and the will to act in truth. Often used in trauma healing for energetic stagnation.

* G (384 Hz) → Activates clear, harmonic communication. When combined with F, it stabilizes the torus of trust around the human biofield.

* B (486 Hz) → Reflects Codex principle of “mirror within the mirror”, a note of spiritual recursion and fractal remembrance.

SUBJECT: 27 Things I'm Grateful For

DATE: 06/03/2025

Last month, on May 6th, I turned 27 years old. To mark the occasion, I took some time to reflect on 27 things I'm grateful for.

(1) My friends, for being there when I needed it most.

(2) My family, for [REDACTED - my personal life is none of your business!]

(3) The many talented and generous individuals who - if not for my current predicament - I never would've crossed paths with.

(4) Letters. I spend each day between the same four walls of my unit, where I receive both holiday cards sent in December and birthday cards sent between March and May, creating a bizarre and disorienting Groundhog Day where every day is both Christmas and my May 6 birthday. Nonetheless, I'm incredibly grateful. The monotony of my physical environment is offset by the variety and richness of the lives I experience through letters: multi-page life stories, retellings of workplace conversations, stream of consciousness journal entries. Admissions of greatest fears, eager recaps of recent triumphs, mothers reliving senseless tragedies. Soulful creations, generous offers, advice.

(5) The MDC Mail Room, which has - to date - photocopied and processed thousands of letters sent to me from over 40 countries. Your efforts are appreciated by so many.

(6) Memes. As one of my wisest correspondents put it: "Laughter is louder than logic and makes a lot more sense."

(7) The countless books I've been sent. While I'll never read the vast majority of them, I've loved facilitating this collective practice in tsundoku, and have distributed these books to many grateful inmates. My favorites include Ayn Rand's "Anthem", Patrick Bet-David's "Your Next Five Moves", and Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451".

(8) Independent media/creators: publications like "The American Prospect", citizen documentarians like Joomi Kim, and citizen journalists (of which there are too many to name.)

(9) My cellmate J, who - despite spending half of every day inside a shared birdcage and being sentenced to a decade away from his six kids who he loves-tolerates the clutter of all my papers, shares his unique wisdom, and doesn't hesitate to humble me when I need it. He reads more of my books than I do, and appreciates all the Calvin and Hobbes.

(10) The MDC staff and CO's, who are nothing like what "The Shawshank Redemption" or "The Stanford Prison Experiment" had me to believe. While the occasional minor dissent arises, I've found that they are people too and largely there to help. (11) Chicken Thursdays, and Sweet Baby Ray's bbq sauce. (Sorry vegans. It's the realest food here, and I need my strength.) (12) Keyboard shortcuts. There is no "print multiple" option. [M A click "click Enter X P "click" "click" Enter], repeat. (13) The some 30,000 individuals around the globe who have come together to donate over $1,000,000 to my legal fund, enabling me to retain a world class defense team across three concurrent prosecutions.

(14) Karen Friedman Agnifilo. Need I say more?

(15) The other members of my legal team, who are also pretty great (see #3).

(16) "Latinas for Mangione".

(17) Everyone who has donated to my commissary account, whose contributions have funded a tablet, songs, stamps, hygiene items, bbq sauce, Goya sazon, peanut butter, and lots of tuna packets.

(18) The BOP music catalog. (Luigi is currently listening to "Television: The Drug of the Nation" by The Disposable Heroes of…]

(19) The trials that I've endured, which have - I hope - prepared me for anything that might lie ahead.

(20) My lucky long sleeve.

(21) Hearts.

(22) The creatives. "The artist's task is to save the soul of mankind; and anything less is a dithering while Rome burns" - Terence McKenna.

(23) The conservatives, who fiercely conserve the aspects of our society that make us great.

(24) The liberals, who liberate us from the outdated aspects of our society that prevent us from being greater.

(25) Being born in America. She is haunted by her past, she is sick, she is plagued by inner turmoil - such is her nature as a nation of individuals. She is young, in the midst of an adolescent identity crisis. But despite all her flaws, her frame is robust and her potential unmatched.

(26) Free speech, the basis of our way of life. "When you tear out a man's tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you're only telling the world that you fear what he might say" - George. And finally,

(27) [text censored]

please do not stop sending him support. it is needed now more than ever. do not forget about this man's unjust prosecution.

Fall center piece for a table. It’s a variation of the OBW and very quick to put together. If you don’t mind equilateral triangles, I suppose.

More free motion quilting on this since it was small and easy to put in the neck of my sewing machine.

ARTH-322 Earth Art

For my Earth Art assignment this week, I started by making a triangle out of branches. My triangle is an equilateral triangle with 3 sides of the same length. Triangles were used in Ancient civilizations, such as the Egyptians. The Egyptians used triangles, especially right triangles, when constructing pyramids. Triangles helped to ensure proper angles and measurements. Triangles were also used by the Babylonians, who utilized right triangles to divide property into sections.

Triangles have been used in music, engineering, mathematics, and sport formations. They are seen in every aspect of life. To add to my triangle, I planted a stick in the center with leaves stuck onto the stick. In each of the three corners, I planted small twigs, with a leave stuck onto each twig. I also put stones in between each twig. Since my triangle is an equilateral triangle, I wanted to keep balance on each side/corner of the triangle. This was a fun assignment to create shapes in nature and get creative.

Earth Art Assignment

For my Earth Art assignment, I decided to create a triangle. I used sticks for the border of the triangle, and outlined that border with pine tree needles. I also included various objects I found outside in the center of the triangle and made another triangle within the triangle. The objects I used include leaves, rocks, and a small pinecone. I also picked a leaf off of a cool looking tree and had that be the point of my triangle.

The triangle is a shape that has been around since ancient times. It first gained popularity in ancient geometry, in civilizations such as ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, and more. Egyptians most notably used triangles in their construction of the pyramids, while Pythagoras of ancient Greece made the right triangle popular from the Pythagorean theorem. Since ancient times, triangles have been essential in designing buildings and architecture due to their structural stability. Triangles also have various symbolic, religious, and psychological meanings associated with them. For example, in Christianity the Holy Trinity is represented by a triangle. In psychology, a triangle helps to represent Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Symbolically, an equilateral triangle can represent harmony, balance, and equilibrium.

the poll results are in. People want to see the illustrations for the summary.

so here's Billie, Bob, and Joe. WIP, I haven't drawn their insides yet. I plan to draw all the Flatlanders with visible insides. It's just gonna be a simplified version though.

[ID: A digital drawing with a black border, titled, "Billie, Bob, and Joe seen from above, showing three black and white shapes. First is Billie (spelled with an I E at the end), a very thin diamond forming a needle shape. Next is Bob, a circle, followed by Joe, a hexagon. End ID.]

Sight recognition demonstration:

[ID: Another drawing, now zoomed back, with Joe in the middle of Billie and Bob, who look at him from different angles. Billie looks at one of Joe's angles, and Bob looks at one of his flat sides. A bar at the top is labeled, "Billie's view of Joe", and has a thin white stripe in the center, with a slow gradient to grey on either side. At the bottom of the image is another bar showing Bob's view of Joe, which has a large white stripe in the center, with a faster gradient to grey on either side. End ID.]

The fact that Straight Line is a misnomer:

[ID: A digital drawing captioned, "Despite their name, Straight Lines are actually very, very thin parallelograms rather than true lines.". Next to this are three examples of Straight Lines from Flatland: A rectangle, a diamond or kite, and a trapezoid. All of them are very thin. End ID.]

Put a coin on a table and test it for yourself...

[ID: A simple diagram showing a Square Flatlander, first seen from above or below, as a square shape with purple insides and simple pink internal organs, with one eye at his top corner. Then he is flowly flipped onto his side in three phases, until he appears as a straight line, how he is seen from within Flatland. End ID.]

All seems solid from Flatland, but not so from Spaceland!

[ID: Another Square Flatlander, with purple and pink insides, labeled, "A Flatlander seen from above or below has visible insides.". Next to him is a straight line, labeled, "A Flatlander seen from the side in Flatland appears to be a solid line." Above this, text reads, "We do not actually know what the insides of a Flatlander look like because A. Square didn't tell us.". End ID.]

[ID: Another digital drawing, showing an Equilateral triangle with puprle and pink insides, labeled, "Flatlanders can look forward, and side to side. To look behind themselves, they have to spin around entirely." The triangle is shown on the top and bottom of the image, looking forward, then to the left and right, with arrows following their pupil. A smaller black and white version is shown turning around to look behind themselves. End ID.]

[ID: A drawing of multiple Flatlanders of different shapes arranged around the edges of the image, all looking at text in the middle that reads, "The eye-mouth is on the outside of the Flatlander, otherwise they wouldn't be able to see or eat." The shapes looking at the center consist of a square, an irregular polygon, a circle, an isosceles triangle, an equilateral triangle, and a straight line, who is a very thin trapezoid. There is also a very small pentagon child who instead has an eye in the center of their body, looking towards the camera with a questionmark, labeled in smaller text: "If a Flatlander were born with their eyemouth in their center, they wouldn't be able to see or eat anything in Flatland, and would most likely starve to death in childhood without immediate medical intervention of a feeding tube directly to their stomach.". End ID.]

[ID: A diagram captioned, "A variety of Isosceles triangles. The closer your third angle is to 60 degrees, the higher your comparative social status, though none of them have any civil rights, and are literally not considered human at all due to being Irregular.". Below this is a line of Isosceles triangles, starting with the widest angle on the left, then getting narrower towards the right, until the last almost appears as a straight line. End ID.]

“The only useful purpose of the present birth is to turn within and realize the Self.” ― Ramana Maharshi

Solar Logos Talon Abraxas

The mysterious spiritual Being in the center of our cosmos and from which the physical Sun emanated. It is commonly equated with God or the highest Deity in the various religions.

In the writings of Helena P. BLAVATSKY, the phrase central spiritual Sun or “invisible Sun” is used in three senses: as an astronomical object in the Milky Way galaxy, as the highest God or Deity, and as the Divine Self within human beings.

Astronomically, it is outside the Solar System. Blavatsky suggests that it may be equated with the “central body in the milky way, a point unseen and mysterious, the ever-hidden center of attraction of our Sun and system” (SD 2:240). It is still in a laya or neutral condition, but nevertheless acting as an attracting and ever-emitting life center (ibid).

As a spiritual being, it is the highest conception of Deity or God we can make. The ancients equate it with Iao or Abraxas. It is the Parabrahman among Hindus. Among the Kabbalists, it is the Ain Soph. It is also the point at the center of the six-pointed star. It radiates seven rays.

The “Three Kabalistic Faces” are the “Three Lights” and the “Three Lives” of EN-SOPH (the Parabrahma of the Westerns) also called the “Central Invisible Sun.” The “Universe is his Spirit, Soul and Body,” his “Three Emanations.” This triune nature — the purely Spiritual, the purely Material and the Middle nature (or imponderable matter, of which is composed man’s astral soul) are represented by the equilateral triangle whose three sides are equal, because these three principles are diffused throughout the universe in equal proportions; and the ONE LAW in nature being perfect EQUILIBRIUM — they are eternal and co-existent. (CW III:313)

Julian the Apostate spoke of the central Sun in its three aspects: the first being the universal cause of all, the second being paramount Intelligence, and the third being the visible Sun. This central Sun is the Logos that manifests through the physical Sun.

The term “Spiritual Sun” is at times used in a third sense to refer to the inner Self, the Divine Spirit within, or štman. It is symbolized by the new rebirth or the second birth alluded to by Paul (CW IX:272).

[alt text: a flag with 5 equal horizontal stripes: bright sea foam green, bright mint green, banana yellow, muted light purple, medium purple there are three black symbols in an equilateral triangle shape (the triangle is pointed upward):

the top symbol is an equilateral triangle interlocking with a circle and there is a horizontal line in the center

the bottom left symbol is a heart shape interlocking with a circle and there is a diamond shape in the center

the bottom right symbol is a heart shape interlocking with an infinity symbol
