Unus Annus 3rd Deathiversary

It’s been 3 years since Unus Annus was deleted and I’ve definitely started to forget a few things. Inspired by the loss of those memories I made this piece.

Another beautiful 18th century gravestone, decorated with a soul effigy as was the custom in old New England. Above the soul it says "Memento Mori." Yes, you should always remember death.

St James Cemetery

Arlington VT 7/1/24

Killed Offscreen

Iris opens the nightstand's drawer, her mouth forming a silent "o" when she sees the inside. It's cluttered with random stuff from various eras, ranging from the obviously-antique to the junk so new it had to be left by Magdalene.

So many emotions are swirling in a storm across her expression, you go to rest a hand on her shoulder. However, you pause when you spot the crumpled note, written in the same loopy, messy scrawl as all of the other journal entries. It has been weathered from exposure; when you glance up, you spot a dripping pipe in the ceiling that's started to rot away parts of the piece's wood. Was this message torn out of her diary after she died, too?

"11/26/--

Before you even think about trying to contact the dead, make sure to say a protective blessing over yourself and the space. There are spirits out there, bad spirits, that will hurt you if you don't use care when communing with them. But don't be afraid, my sweet Iris. If you prepare well and protect yourself, you will always be the one who's in control. Most spirits aren't bad, just lost. If you're lucky, you might even make a new friend. Remember, Iris; believe in your own power, in the light that can never quite be swallowed by shadow, and fortune will always be by your side.

Love,

M--"

The rest of the note is torn away. A tear lands next to it, fallen from Iris's downcast eyes. You are surprised when she smiles, anyway.

Iris: Mom... I wonder what you saw that made you leave this here? It's like you just knew--

The young woman takes a closer look at the scrap before her smile sours. Around the bottom are fresh, red stains, including one you could swear almost looks like a slender fingerprint...

The half-scolf, half-retch that rips it's way from Iris's throat startles you from your horrified trance. Her brown eyes look like black holes in this dark room.

Iris: Never mind- I was an idiot for thinking she could send me a sign in this hellhole.

She swivels quickly and heads back towards the door without another word. You watch her silently, pretending not to see her biting her bottom lip so hard it's turned white.

I don't know how, but my brainrot led me here.

As eerie yet calming this particular sound effect is... it makes me want to do a dramatic monologue about time.

Plot twist: what if momento Mori wasn't a social philosophy equivalent to YOLO, but a PSA literally reminding people to die. What if we only die because we believe in death?

*Icarus, laughing from the foam of whatever's left of him churning in the waves*: Ha. Ha. Yeah, that's it.

you dislike Luke Castellan because he disagreed with an oppressive government system and actually took action to change the abusive ways him and his peers have been forced to follow for millennia.

I dislike Luke Castellan because in the Titans Curse he manipulated Annabeth, who he raised as his little sister, into holding up the sky, the FUCKING sky, for over 20 hours and had the audacity to walk away as though he was completely apathetic towards it while she begged and pleaded with him to help her.

we are not the same.

I still think we should celebrate Kissinger's death even if he didn't face justice and lived a confortable life, just so that everybody knows what a piece of shit he was, just so that when some Great Stateman like I don't fucking know Biden tries to eulogize him he is flooded with insults and mockery y quede bien para el culo, so that nobody can even PRETEND he had any worth, millions should celebrate he's fucking dead and this is how he will be remembered, as an imperialist criminal hated all over the world with no redeeming qualities, none should be able to even pretend he was some some great man except for the magnitude of his crimes

The Bronx Zoo has just released Flaco's necropsy results.

He was not thriving, as the people championing the ideal of "freedom" claimed.

He was poisoned.

He was sick.

He was suffering.

"Freedom" would have eventually killed him. A building just happened to do it first.

"Postmortem testing has been completed for Flaco, the Eurasian eagle owl that was found down in the courtyard of a Manhattan building a little over a year after his enclosure at the Central Park Zoo was vandalized on February 2, 2023. Onlookers reported that Flaco had flown into a building on the Upper West Side of Manhattan on February 23, 2024, and acute trauma was found at necropsy. Bronx Zoo veterinary pathologists determined that in addition to the traumatic injuries, Flaco had two significant underlying conditions. He had a severe pigeon herpesvirus from eating feral pigeons that had become part of his diet, and exposure to four different anticoagulant rodenticides that are commonly used for rat control in New York City. These factors would have been debilitating and ultimately fatal, even without a traumatic injury, and may have predisposed him to flying into or falling from the building. The identified herpesvirus can be carried by healthy pigeons but may cause fatal disease in birds of prey including owls infected by eating pigeons. This virus has been previously found in New York City pigeons and owls. In Flaco’s case, the viral infection caused severe tissue damage and inflammation in many organs, including the spleen, liver, gastrointestinal tract, bone marrow, and brain.   No other contributing factors were identified through the extensive testing that was performed. Flaco’s severe illness and death are ultimately attributed to a combination of factors—infectious disease, toxin exposures, and traumatic injuries—that underscore the hazards faced by wild birds, especially in an urban setting."

The naturalistic fallacy kills animals in horrible ways. The romanticism of what humans want to think of as a "free, wild, pure life" cannot be allowed supplant the reality of injury, sickness, and death. Releasing captive animals (or keeping them from being recaptured) because it's "better" for them to suffer untethered than live a healthy, safe, captive life is inhumane and horrific.

Flaco's life didn't have to end in pain, sickness, and suffering.

Flaco's death didn't have to be tragic.

But once the idea of "freedom" entered the chat, Flaco's fate was unavoidable.
