Weekly output: Vention Demo Day, AST SpaceMobile launch, United Airlines + Starlink
This week involved four airports, three flights, two hotels and an alarm set on my phone for 1 a.m. Thursday–and the lost sleep was more than justified by being able to witness the sight and sound of a Falcon 9 launch from about six miles away. 9/10/2024: Demo Day 2024, Vention I flew to Chicago Tuesday morning to lead the panel discussion with Vention founder and CEO Etienne Lacroix and Nvidia…

REPLITOBER 4 | PUTUTHIDAE VENTIONES
I never want to draw another bug mutos again.
But his name is an old Japanese term [ putu ] for the sound of a sword slicing, based off Futsunushi's name
I got lazy on the second half so it's Scorpiones + ventus
So Putu + Buthidae, Ventus + Scorpiones

Hello! Sorry if you’ve posted about this somewhere already/if it’s redundant, but I thought your coinage of “transMad” was very cool and I’m wondering what that term means to you? I’m really happy to see other people talking about madness being intertwined w their gender/transness and looking forward to checking out your reading lists :))
thank you so much for asking about one of my favorite things to infodump about!! rather than rehash a bunch of stuff, if it's okay, I'm going to borrow a few quotes from past!me that i've published in different places // offer you some things of mine to read.
broadly, though, i use transMadness as a way to explore the identificatory, epistemological, methodological, and theoretical implications of an orientation (to use Sara Ahmed's term) toward bodymind noncompliance and self/selves-determination. this orientation refuses to delineate diagnostically between Maddened / transed experiences of the world/our many worlds, and instead takes this shared/overlapping ground as a jumping off point for solidarity and speculation - that is, something that allows us to imagine otherwise worlds / make them manifest through creativity and collaboration.
(Ha, and I claimed i wouldn't talk too much...famous autistic last words)
ANYWAY. here are some clips that might help explain more dimensions of transMadness. note that, in my dissertation-in-progress, i'm focusing on xeno/neogender and/as self-diagnostic cultures among queercrip and transMad internet users. i'm interested in the anti-psych liberatory potential of this digital community work, especially as it centers forms of knowledge and scholarship devalued within Academia Proper, especially because so much of it is made by and for disabled, Mad, queer, trans people, esp. youth. Onward to quotes!
On transMad epistemologies: citation/power/knowledge:
I’ll spend most of this piece looking not at what transMad is, but what it does. First and foremost, transMad cites. Even its name alludes to other portmanteaus: neuroqueer and queercrip being the best-known among them. Many people have offered many different (ever-“working”!) definitions of these terms; today, I offer co-coiner Nick Walker’s (2021) definition of neuroqueer: a verb and an adjective “encompass[ing] the queering of neurocognitive norms as well as gender norms” (p. 196). In terms of queercrip, I also return to its coiner, Carrie Sandahl (2003), who for whom the queercrip (as person and as method/movement) confuses the diagnostic gaze, bears sociopolitical witness, and performs glitchful[4], incongruous, confusing in(ter)ventions into possible community. At base, “queer” and “crip” appear as analogous, reclaimed slurs signifying marginalized transgression. When combined, they describe a loop, perhaps a Möbius strip: crip (ani)mates queer, queer tells-on crip. The specter of crip haunts queer—and even more explicitly, as we will see, trans—and the crip(ped) bodymind holds, moves, and fucks queerly. Who knows where “queer” stops and “crip” and “neuro” begin? Likewise, transMad, whose citational style leaves little room for diagnostic clarity amidst a pastiche of noncompliant text.
On transMad epistemologies: multiplicity (h/t @materialisnt):
They encourage us to remove others’ names from our bodies, to reign in unruly citations, to set “boundaries” which violate Mad, crip ethics of care (see Fletcher, 2019). In truth, any framing of individual authorship in which the body text is “mine” and the citations gesture “elsewhere” belie the inherent interdependence of all intellectual life, and particularly of transMad intellectual life. transMad plural scholar mix. alan moss (2022) argues in relation to the pathologization of multiple systems: “all people, indeed all that exists, is a system that itself is constantly enmeshed in several overlapping and interconnected systems.” In short, I am full of Is, and will continue as many more. Just as disability justice helps us understand all life as interdependent and deserving of access, a transMad approach sees our selves as numerous and fuzzy. We have permission to dispense with the need for tidy texts, with our interlocutors, edits, and iterations either obfuscated entirely or exclusively relegated to a bibliography. transMad citation may thus be considered akin to visible mending[6], creating flamboyantly messy, multiplicitous work that does not seek to pass as objective or discrete.
On the value of (crip) failure and/as "virtuality":
Don’t get me wrong: Zoom PhD work is a failing enterprise. That is to say, it is a queercrip, transMad enterprise, which is to say, it is a beautiful, beautiful project. Mitchell, Snyder, and Ware describe such “fortunate failures” in the context of “curricular cripistemologies.”5 Coined by Merri Lisa Johnson, the term “cripistemologies,” refers to “embodied ways of knowing in relation, knowing-with, knowing-alongside, knowing-across-difference, and unknowing,” ways which frequently exist outside the purview of mainstream academia.6 Curricular cripistemologies, then, refer to an intentional, queercrip deviation from normative pedagogical approaches which trades the corrective impulse of “special ed” and other rehabilitative programs, and offers instead a generative noncompliance.7 That is, rather than trying to identify, isolate, and ameliorate difference, curricular cripistemologies lean into difference as it is experienced by disabled students ourselves, querying how atmospheres of in/accessibility shape normative approaches to education and how the embrace of “failure,” not as a last-resort but as a first choice, poses potentially transformative possibilities.
On transMadness and fat liberation: (for @trans-axolotl's Psych Survivor Zine)
A transMad, fat approach to disorderly eating requires making connections with humility and understanding, and, as I discussed above, engaging in compassionate, critical interrogation of our own anti-fatness.
[...]
A transMad, fat, abolitionist politic is one that makes room. We imagine beyond the cage, even if the details of that imagining are not yet clear. Just as we have carved micro-sites of support within violent digital and in-person contexts, just as we have learned to think about our lifeworlds beyond the paradigm of “recovery or death,” we can also reconceptualize fatness not as the enemy, but as another form of bodymind noncompliance in alliance and/or entanglement with disorderly eating practices. For thin disorderly eaters, this requires us to fundamentally challenge the way we view food and embodiment, even while maintaining a Mad respect for alternative ways of approaching reality.
On xenogenders, virtuality, and self-determination:
It is this very “irrationality” –– the “unrealness,” the “you’ve-got-to-be-kiddinghood,” that is most frequently weaponized against xenogenders, as well as their newly-coined sets of xenopronouns. The perceived and actual virtuality of xenogenders is often placed against the notion of “actuality,” in this case, of “real” (or “practical”) genders and pronouns to be used in one’s “real life.” Disabled activists have rightly resisted the distinction between online and (presumed-offline) “real life,” given that this categorically excludes homebound bodyminds, as well as those without IRL social and support circles. That said, I believe the virtual –– as almost, not-quite, proximite, making-do –– is incredibly useful in thinking about xenoidentities as transMad tools –– particularly, as transMad tools of underground collaboration / co-liberation.
[...]
What if gender was a project we wanted to fail? That is, what if trans- was a process not of getting better, not of moving-toward a bodymind more sane, more straight, and more cisheteropatriarchially desirable, but rather a line of flight on a longer trail to illegibility? Indeed, what if we replaced pathology’s narrow “path” with a trail lighted by the language of our comrades, whose linguistic interventions make and break gender in ways heretofore unimaginable? Xenoidentities, both individually and as a trans-gressive M.O., are fundamental to a broader transMad project of crafted, collective illegibility; intersubjective citation (imagine what it feels like for someone to be the gender that you coined!); and collective care that refuses a politics of cure. Crucially both virtual and digital, xenoidentities are furthermore a manifestation of the power of trans, predominantly disabled digital counterpublics, who overturn the hierarchy which places the IRL-real above the digital-unreal, making unruly, Mad space in which (with apologies to Donna Haraway) a hundred xenoselves might bloom.
On Maddening queer "diagnosis":
In her indictment of all “Kwik-Fix Drugs,” Gray further indicates the practice of forced treatment as in and of itself as a project of violent normalization, regardless of specific target or reason. The intentional ambiguity between her narrative of Madness and her narrative of asexuality disrupt mounting demands for a healthy (sanitized, neoliberal, and consumable) queerness. A Mad ace approach identifies these demands as, indeed, comparable with cis heteronormative notions of sexual maturity and responsibility – the idea that participation in culturally-normative sexual practices is a prerequisite for health (Kim, 2011, 481) and thus, personal autonomy (Meerai, Abdillahi, and Poole 2016, 21). By fusing the “lack of sexual appetite” attributed to her medications for bipolar disorder with her asexuality, Gray destabilizes the binary between healthy-sexual-diversity and unhealthy-psychopathology. She is once again disrupting contemporary queer impulses to dissociate from ongoing histories of pathologization. Here, Mad and queer/asexual activism are as inseparable in text as they are in Gray. Gray and her comrades collectively refuse both sexuality-as-“rehabilitation” (See Kim 2011, 486) and asexual acceptance predicated upon normative “health” (Kim 2010, 158) – that is, they Madden asexuality. Twoey, in her own voice, remixes the sources of her own pathologization, staggering the supposedly-divine pronouncement of the DSM across pages and bookending its extracts with her own writing and art. In this undermining of the DSM’s epistemological polish, Gray disrupts the domination of written prose over poetry and visual art, while also critiquing the role of the DSM in commercialized health “care.” Her zine opens with the lines “sex sells and sex is sold / sex was being sold and i didn’t buy” (Gray 2018, n.p.). Gray indicates a pathology perceived not only in a refusal to practice sex, but also in a refusal to buy (into) it. After all, a refusal to buy into existing sexual paradigms is for her also a refusal to buy into a feminized reproductive mandate.

Jessie was doing her very best to resist being too nosy. It was hard. She'd always loved to look at peoples things, and see what she could learn about their life by what they kept around. Dian had been so distant for a long time, and the itch was there to try and pry, to try and work out what made him tick. But she was holding herself back. She had worked too hard to gain his trust to throw it all away now. Actually being invited to his place on Maple Drive was another step forwards.
"So how has work been?" She asked instead, trying to remain casual. "Busy, I expect, after all that with the demons."
Medicine might change and evolve, but one thing stayed the same - the tendency of doctors and nurses to overwork themselves for their patients.

After a weekend spent mostly indoors to avoid temperatures that hit or neared triple digits Saturday and Sunday, I’m flying to Los Angeles Tuesday for a grab-bag of reasons that include trying out Waymo’s robotaxi service there (which may make me feel like I’m living in the future), covering VidCon Anaheim (which is all but assured to make me feel old). Patreon readers got an extra post from me…

Dawn headcanons
dawn loves reptiles. ALL reptiles, there is not a single slippery seviathen he does not wish to have (whether it be legal or illegal)
david and dawn have both tried dying/cutting their hair (A: because david wanted to try matching with dawn and B: dawn wanted to bond with his little brother.) Dawn loves walking through old gardens with sakura, it makes him feel calm.
dawn likes tea, he and tony like to bond over tea (so much that they have found and founded several tea conventions or TEA-ventions??)
dawn sometimes likes to spend time with each of the teachers, he likes to get to know them (especially after the reset) and he finds them interesting. (except briefcase. dawn calls him a cunt every chance he gets)
dawn and robin surf the dark web occasionally.
dawn loves reciting weird and obscure youtube video quotes (theyre actually vines, and theyre essentially apart of half his vocabulary)

FIRST OFF, SO I CAN MAKE IT CLEAR AND I DON'T GET ANYONE MAD:
1. Even if I have my gripes about The Owl House, I still love the show to bits and pieces and have immense respect for its creator and the team behind it.
2. So I don't get any replies on it, I know that Lumity is canon and Huntlow is heavily implied to be/is canon, but I still like Lumity because I think it's cute even if it has its problems. I can see what it was trying to be and I still enjoy it as a ship.
So I'm more or less making this because I've had the idea for a while now and, honestly, I'm just going to make a post on it, maybe two if the people want it
This is not a full-blown rewrite, I don't have the energy or time to really do that
That out of the way, the post is below the cut if you want to read it
So, I and a fair few others enjoy the Lunter ship in TOH and there is some unrest in that side of the fandom. There has been some "rewrites" from @lunterfans and other posts from them and @theprinceandthewitch that's more speculation. Go check out their blog because they're pretty cool.
This is more or less an AU/rewrite of TOH, but if Lunter was canon.
I will reiterate it now: I'm perfectly happy with Lumity even with its issues. I'm just making this post to scratch an itch and because I have to get it off my chest
With that said:
The Owl House, BUT LUNTER!
For starters, a lot of the show stays the same, but Belos and the Golden Guard are introduced MUCH earlier, like in the first or second episode and faces off with Luz momentarily in the dungeon before she, Eda, and King escape.
The introduction of Amity, Willow, Gus, and Hexside remain the same, save for a student named Hunter who sits away from the other students and silently glares down Luz, though she doesn't know why. He is also present when she and Willow escape detention and Amity.
In the coven-vention, the Golden Guard is present once more, attending with Lilith to promote the Emperor's Coven. He is also witness to the duel between Lilith and Amity and Luz and Eda. Maybe we get a moment where Amity smirks at him before getting ready to fight Luz, but after it ends and she looks back at him, he shakes his head and walks away, disappointed in her.
We don't see much of the Golden Guard, but we do get more Hunter as he sees the shenanigans. When Luz ultimately enrolls as a student in Hexside, she runs into Hunter and he simply tells her to watch where she's going. The two do run into each other more, but Luz ultimately "befriends" Hunter when he is getting picked on for not being able to use magic by Boscha and maybe Amity, emphasis on MAYBE for the sake of Amity's redemption. She asks about why he can't do magic and Hunter can only say that, "It's complicated."
To try and loft his spirits, Luz shows Hunter a glyph and the two meet up later to practice using glyphs, Hunter amazed at seeing and using wild magic.
He is not present for Grom, but is there at the season 1 finale as the Golden Guard, fighting Luz as she tries to rescue Eda. The two would essentially duel, Hunter using his staff and Luz using Eda's staff. There would be quips thrown by Hunter while he's dressed as the Golden Guard, and it gets Luz more and more suspicious as to who he is. By sheer accident, Luz would knock his mask off and the reveal for her would be saddening, but not completely devastating, Luz glaring at Hunter amd using an ice glyph to keep him from following her as she goes to save Eda, Lilith, and King.
The seasom 1 finale ends the same way it does, but Luz and a masked Hunter spot and glare at each other, neither happy that their friendship might be destroyed, but ready to fight, if they see each other again.

The joke of the name DAICON is divine. It means both "big con[vention]" but is also a homophone for daikon, as in the Japanese radish. Thus the spaceship radish in the intro animation.
