My haul of stuff from the trip to California / VCF West XVIII

We got the shirts:

The video game stuff:

Books, magazines, manuals, records, and floppy disks.

Pins, patches, magnets, and other larger souvenirs:

Stickers and other mostly-paper souvenirs:

And lastly, the electronics! Components, computer parts, and a whole fucking minicomputer front panel!

I'd call that a damned good haul!

@virescent-phosphor is responsible for giving me more than a few of the items pictured -- thank you for the gifts!

I Grant You Refuge by Hiba Abu Nada translated by Huda Fakhreddine 1. I grant you refuge in invocation and prayer. I bless the neighborhood and the minaret to guard them from the rocket from the moment it is a general’s command until it becomes a raid. I grant you and the little ones refuge, the little ones who change the rocket’s course before it lands with their smiles. 2. I grant you and the little ones refuge, the little ones now asleep like chicks in a nest. They don’t walk in their sleep toward dreams. They know death lurks outside the house. Their mothers’ tears are now doves following them, trailing behind every coffin. 3. I grant the father refuge, the little ones’ father who holds the house upright when it tilts after the bombs. He implores the moment of death: “Have mercy. Spare me a little while. For their sake, I’ve learned to love my life. Grant them a death as beautiful as they are.” 4. I grant you refuge from hurt and death, refuge in the glory of our siege, here in the belly of the whale. Our streets exalt God with every bomb. They pray for the mosques and the houses. And every time the bombing begins in the North, our supplications rise in the South. 5. I grant you refuge from hurt and suffering. With words of sacred scripture I shield the oranges from the sting of phosphorous and the shades of cloud from the smog. I grant you refuge in knowing that the dust will clear, and they who fell in love and died together will one day laugh.

Humanity Is Stupid & Contagious

I wish humanity could just admit that we dont work as a species on this planet.

We dont work as a species period.

We dont.

As a species, we are social creatures.

Therefore, as macro as it gets, we are engineered in the Upside Down (our current "reality" aka "life") to social climb, to be competitive, to be political, to try to get ahead, to use force might and violence to win, to want to accumulate wealth social capital land resources assets, to want to be the best, to acquire power.

I want to be the only 7 star general other than Lord Washington.

I want to be Trump, The Art of the Deal.

I want to be Napoleon, Bezos, Cook & Elon.

I want to be Ford.

I want to be Bill Gates.

I want to be President.

I want to be Commander In Chief.

Everything bigger faster stronger.

The smartest.

VP.

CEO.

Clout privilege wealth social capital.

Starfucker.

Sucking dick for clout.

This is all embedded in the very fabric of the Upside Down but in the dreamscape we are naturally one and harmonious.

Everything is flipped upside down here in the Upside Down.

Our differences in the dreamscape -- and the dreamscape is made up of untold trillions of separate dreamscapes that make up a kaleidoscopic explosion of thoughts dream imagination love knowledge philosophy esotericism energy meditation -- are what created and creates unfolding ever evolving ever mutating (the real X-Men) DNA hybrid dualism but down here in the Upside Down, the differences are used to falsely create division, tear us apart, make us afraid, make us prejudge, make us hate, make us ostracize, haze, bully, assault, kill, rape, murder, beat, torture, ethnically cleanse, arrest, jail, mass graves, death camps, death squads, rape rooms, mass incarcerations, hangings, lynchings, beheadings, burnings at the stake, capital punishments, executions, make an example of, mass hysteria, scapegoats, fall guys, columbine shooters, false gods, false heros, false kings, false crowns, false idols, world religions aka cults, brainwashing, conditioning centers, reprogramming, human experimentation, cloning, DNA splicing, genetic mutations, lab experimentations, synthetic chemicals and toxins, lethal injections, the electric chair, drawn and quartered, dragged by horses, decapitations, slavery.

Its like, it just doesnt work.

Human nature is rewarded in the Upside Down for being cheap, dirty, low, cutting corners, being the fastest, quickest, least expensive, best technology, most scientifically advanced, most destructive weapons, most deadly chemical warfare, more black label projects, more government secrets, more undercover agents, more guns, Gatling, AK-47, multiple rounds, multiple clips, multiple magazines, rat a tat tat, more badges, more stripes, more chevrons, more ranks, more insignias, more titles, more letters before and after your name on LinkedIn, more zeros in your bank account, more friends on Facebook, more followers on Instagram, more views on TikTok, more retweets on Twitter, more subs on Youtube & Twitch.

More Napoleon Bonapartes, more let them eat cake, more off with their heads, more they dont want to work, more welfare queens, more get a job, more Funquishas and Watermelondras.

More campaigns, more slogans, more supermans.

We never learn from our collective atrocities.

Why would any time ever be different much less the next time?

What war did WWI stop?

WWII?

Korean War?

Vietnam War?

US Mexico War?

Hundred Years War?

Cold War?

Gulf War?

Operation Iraqi Freedom?

Holocaust?

Cultural Revolution?

Khmer Rouge?

Stalin?

Lenin?

Franco?

Mussollini?

Mao?

Hitler?

Hirohito?

Rape of Nanking?

Trail of Tears?

Idi Amin?

Rwanda?

Serbia?

Congo?

Sudan?

Tigray?

Palestine?

Gaza Strip?

Slavery?

18k killed in Chile in 1 day?

9/11 inside job?

Napalm?

Nerve gas

Phosphorous?

Hiroshima & Nagasaki?

Atomic bomb?

D-Day?

10k dead Americans in Normandy?

666k dead in Civil War?

Weve never collectively as a species learned from any past war, atrocity, crime against humanity, war crime, genocide or ethnic cleansing.

Its been hundreds of thousands of years.

Why would anything ever change if it hasnt already?

The track record is abysmal and speaks for itself.

Why, as a species, do we blindly and ignorantly choose to continue to procreate, replicate and propagate our human race when the end result has always been untold human suffering?

There is no amount of joy that can cancel out the amount of suffering that has been needlessly caused and experienced in the Upside Down.

Its time to end the human experiment and we have not had a good run.

Millions upon millions killed, raped, starved, gassed, beaten, tortured, hazed, humiliated, mocked, imprisoned, jailed, assaulted, exterminated, exploited, traumatized, gaslit, intimidated, ethnically cleansed, used.

Abused, overworked, harrassed, trafficked, groomed, conditioned, brainwashed, broken, violated, fetishized, objectified, commodified, consumed, dehumanized, retconned, manipulated, overmedicalized, pathologized, drugged, indoctrinated, molested, institutionalized.

There is no amount of good, joy, happiness or anything else that can even come close to equaling out these endless and ongoing atrocities, forget cancelling them out.

Humanity is a virus that has been allowed to endlessly replicate itself and it has to stop.

We are causing catastrophic human suffering to our own species because we wont stop reproducing ourselves for no fucking reason at all.

Once you add in the ecocide, ecological and environmental destruction, hundreds of thousands of animal species that have been made extinct, climate change, climate crisis, climate emergency, deforestation, the destruction of rainforests, landfills, nuclear waste, oceanic pollution, overfishing, factory farming, industrial waste, toxins, pollutants, synthetic and lab made chemicals, GMOs, pesticides, overextraction of earths resources, raping & pillaging mother earth, sewage, food waste, fast fashion, big box retail, air pollution, air toxicity, non biodegradable waste taking tens of thousands of years to break down in landfills, oil spills, drilling for oil, coal, endless construction, endless Amazon warehouses, endless delivery drones, methane emissions from factory farming, greenhouse gas emissions, millions of cars clogging the highways...

The answer is we need to subtract the human race from the equation.

If all 7.8 billion of us currently alive on the planet made the conscious decision not to procreate, we could end all this suffering in this generation.

Weigh the reasons to procreate: continue bloodline and current family lineage, have a little mini-me, fullfill narcisstic fantasies of having a living breathing extension of your own ego, looking for something to give you your identity and a reason to live, looking for purpose, the social rewards that come with being a parent, the social pressures to procreate, making your mom & dad happy, keeping up with your friends that are popping out babies, an unexamined need and desire to fit in, unquestioningly accepting society's pronatalist stance and adopting it as your own without examining it, desire to create heirs, egotistical fantasy of living forever and trying to accomplish this by having children, wanting miniaturized versions of yourself who will endlessly kiss your ass stroke your ego and hero worship you, to build your own myth aura and mystique, narcisstic desire to be a matriarch/patriarch, societal insistence that feminity equates to motherhood, believing the lie that motherhood is a womans highest calling, believing the lie that not having children is selfish, succumbing without thinking to the non-stop societal programming, conditioning and brainwashing to procreate and create bodies for the capitalist machine, spouse is pressuring or demanding or coercing you to have kids, wanting to play dress up with your doll aka daughter, wanting to be an adult and parenthood is tied with adulthood in our society, unexamined fear of old age and dying alone and becoming old sick and infirm without children, believing the lie that you are incomplete and somehow defective as a woman until you shit a fetus out of your cervix, wanting to prove your worth and adopting parenthood as part of an ultracompetitive persona that can do and be and crush everything crossfit marathons pilates keto school grades corporate promotions salaries the house the car the spouse and now kids further bolsters your superman/superwoman persona, falling for the societally peddled lie that holidays are incomplete without little kids running around, incorrectly and inadequately trying to address childhood and generational trauma experienced in family while growing up by having your own kids vs doing the necessary self reflection, introspection, shadow & somatic work, reiki & therapy, wanting a daughter who is your BFF, wanting a child for nothing but fantasy & wish fulfillment, obsessive martydom complex leads to desire to martyr oneself by sublimating your identity, body, sexuality, career, income, social life and freedom for the all-consuming and obliterative identity of motherhood, desire for people to take you seriously, to compete with or keep up with siblings or best friends who already have kids, believing the carefully crafted and packaged lies that overly romanticize parenthood and wanting the Hallmark fantasy, slavishly following cultish and pathetic religious dictates and never questioning the religious indoctrination and brainwashing of your youth which commanded you to be fruitful and multiply, a desire to be respected through becoming a parent, a fear of appearing like an outsider if you are in a long term relationship or marriage for decades and never have kids, an irrational fear of missing out where you believe the propaganda that nothing is worse than reaching old age realizing you actually wanted kids and not being able to have them when in reality absolutely nothing is worse than having kids realizing you absolutely despise being a parent, regretting having them, being stuck with them for 18+ years and never being able to publicly voice your opinions although while quite commonplace are societally taboo especially from mothers who must always be docile, happy, pleasant, energetic, cheerful, full of vigor and most importantly never tired or complaining at all times.

Okay. Now, go reread this post and look at all the reasons not to procreate.

Like, its not close.

Humanity is stupid and contagious but you dont have to be.

End the endless cycle of human suffering.

Choose to not procreate.

3 gommages naturels certifiés Bio que l’on recommande

Selon son type de peau, quel gommage naturel choisir ? Ô Magazine a testé 3 soins exfoliants doux certifiés biologiques.  L’exfoliation de la peau est une étape importante de votre routine de soin. Elle élimine les cellules mortes et permet une meilleure oxygénation de l’épiderme. Pourquoi faire peau neuve ?  À première vue, une peau plus éclatante et lisse, un grain affiné. Mais l’étape de l’exfoliation va également permettre le renouvellement cellulaire de l’épiderme et une meilleure absorption des produits de soin appliqués ensuite.  Choisir son gommage nécessite de connaître son type de peau, de même que n’importe quel soin pour le visage ou le corps. Si le gommage peut paraître agressif, les peaux sèches sont bien-sûr concernées, devant elle aussi éliminer la couche supérieure de l’épiderme lors de la régénération des cellules. L’accumulation des peaux mortes empêchent les produits hydratants de bien pénétrer, ce dont à justement besoin la peau sèche. Néanmoins, il s’agira d’ajuster la fréquence d’application, soit deux à trois fois par mois contre une fois par semaine pour les peaux grasses.  La taille du grain est un autre point sur lequel il est nécessaire de s’attarder. Les peaux sèches et grasses devront éviter les gros grains parfois trop irritants. Les gommages à grains fins peuvent être utilisés sur toutes les peaux. Et justement, voici une sélection de gommages d’origine naturelle à petits grains qui n'agressent pas la peau, aux propriétés et textures variées.  À lire également : Le gommage de la peau pour nettoyer en profondeur Le gommage minéralisant et tonifiant de la marque Guérande Cosmetics   Enrichi en sels minéraux, ce gommage pour le corps peut s'appliquer 1 à 2 fois par semaine sur peau sèche ou humide. La marque à la particularité de mettre à profit les ressources des Marais salants. En outre, cette formule regroupe les principes actifs des Eaux-mères riches en magnésium, calcium et phosphore, des algues et argiles marines ainsi que des sels de Guérande qui contiennent des oligo-éléments essentiels à la vitalité de la peau. Le packaging en forme de tube est pratique d’utilisation. La texture est légère et fluide. La peau semble purifiée et vivifiée. Terminez par un jet d'eau froide sur vos jambe pour les tonifier. Le + : Une odeur d’océan qui donne envie de vacances et qui laisse une sensation de fraîcheur agréable.  Est-ce bien naturel ? 99% des ingrédients sont d'origine naturelle et 21% sont issus de l'agriculture biologique. Gommage Plaisir pour le corps, au sel, argile et algues de Guérande : 20,90 € pour 175 ml. Fabriqué en France. L'exfoliant fondant de Body Nature Cet exfoliant à l’huile de pépins de raisins pour nourrir la peau en profondeur contient également des extraits de feuilles de Vigne rouge aux propriétés décongestionnantes et antioxydantes. Un bon allié pour prévenir le vieillissement cutané. À priori, l'exfoliation est très légère mais ne laisse pas la peau indifférente et semble beaucoup plus douce après plusieurs utilisation. De consistance un peu gélatineuse et agréable au touché. Le packaging en forme de tube est pratique d’utilisation. Sur peau humide ou sèche, utiliser le une à deux fois par semaine en effectuant des gestes circulaires en commençant pas le bas. Terminez toujours par hydrater votre peau avec un lait, baume adapté. Le + : Sa texture fondante se transforme en lait au contact de l’eau et laisse la peau douce après rinçage.  Est-ce bien naturel ? 99,4% des ingrédients sont d’origine naturelle et 98,1% sont certifiés Bio. Gommage fondant pour le corps : 16,95€ pour 165 ml. Fabriqué en France. Le gommage adoucissant de Propolia France Contenant du miel et de l'aloe vera, ce soin exfoliant est parfait pour redonner un coup d'éclat aux peaux sèches, en renforçant le film hydrolipidique de la peau. Avec deux tailles de grains, à base d’un mélange de poudres de coques d’amandes et de riz, cette formule conviendra pour une exfoliation un peu plus prononcée. Le packaging en forme de tube est pratique d’utilisation. Appliquez une à deux fois par semaine sur la peau humide. Insistez sur les genoux, les coudes et les talons qui produisent souvent plus de peaux mortes. Le + : L'odeur réconfortante de macaron gourmand qui embaume la peau. Est-ce bien naturel ? 99 % d’ingrédients sont d’origine naturelle et 31 % sont issus de l'agriculture biologique.  Gommage corps au miel  : 18,60€ pour 150 ml. Fabriqué en France.
