In my experience I would caution against shrooms being a "safer bet". Dosing shrooms is hard as potency can vary pretty significantly between fruits. Your best bet for that is to powderize your shrooms in a coffee grinder and stuff into capsules. Ive had kind of challenging experiences on pretty small doses of shrooms. I would definitely rather take a micro-dose of LSD than shrooms pretty much any day. I dont have a lot of experience microdosing LSD but Ive had a really positive time on like the smallest sliver of a tab possible. Definitely felt to be in the LSD headspace while not really tripping for real. Although I would also caution that Ive had pretty intense experiences on as little as .5 tab of acid. Not as intense as 1 or 2 tabs but definitely more than I was expecting. Its also possible Im just sensitive to these things but it seems possible YOU might also be sensitive to these things so I think its worth sharing my experiences.

I would caution against mixing them if you dont have a lot of experience. Maybe take a microdose and then a week or two later try a 'normal' dose(1 tab/~2g shrooms, some say 3.5g is normal but to me thats a lot) if you didnt get what you were looking for. After trying a 'normal' dose you will know if you want to go deeper. Big "reset" or "heroic" doses can be helpful but I have never felt the desire to repeat them and I think if you are tripping thoughtfully and with intention you can get to the same conclusions with lighter, more comfortable doses.

I have had this anxiety pretty consistently in my life. The way Ive beaten it is by reminding myself that if someone were able to hear everybodies thoughts unfiltered all the time they would surely go insane.

Different kind of telepathy but on LSD Ive had the experience of having conversations with friends where we're talking and saying words but if you were to just hear the words you would have no idea what we were talking about. It felt like we were having a conversation on top of the words if that makes sense. Like the words we werent saying were heavily implied by all parties and everyone could follow along with the conversation but I was acutely aware that from an objective position what we were saying was NOT real sentences.

Circle of fifths based chaos magic makes me think of John Coltranes experiments with the circle of fifths. He was also very into ascending humanhood.

This is fun.
Now you can string sigils together or repeat them indefinitely to make songs.

Philp also called on the public to make citizen’s arrests if they catch shoplifters, as he claimed things could “escalate” if thieves were left physically unchallenged.

Someone about to get their shit rocked trying to 'citizens arrest' somebody shoplifting.

Ive had lots of luck just asking "would you like some anarchist zines?"
Some people will say no, some people will say yes. If they say no you say "okay have a good day" and move on to some other people.

You dont have to specify theyre anarchist zines I just think thats a good way to gauge wether someone would be interested in the content.

You can do it! Nothing can stop you besides yourself!

Lou Harrison is so cool.
He's really into straw-bale houses.

Seconding the suggestion to diy soap.

It can be as easy as mixing olive oil with lye. You just have to figure out the right ratios, there are online calculators to help with this. Also finding a mold but this is part of the fun. Ive used pringles tubes to make circular soap before and it worked out really well. With a little creativity you can definitely find an easy cheap mold.

The only problem is it takes 3-6 months to cure. So you have to use other soap in the meantime. Once you have DIY soap though its hard to go back. It lasts a long time too, I usually only make soap once or twice a year and thats with giving a lot of it away. Im sure if you were just making soap for yourself you could make enough for a year+ in one go.

I feel like I usually go through a period in the fall/winter where I journal more. I usually get out of it by spring/summer because who needs jouraling when you can finally go outside. It does feel helpful to remember when certain things happen, get ideas down. Sometimes I do feel like the act of journaling can put emphasis on certain things (if you didnt write it it didnt happen) which I kind of dislike because my life is full of all kinds of nuance and complexity that I usually dont feel like writing down. So I try to journal when I feel inspired to and not feel bad if I dont.

I recently watched Fox and His Friends which is by Rainer Fassbinder(who also plays the main role) Its about a working class gay guy in 70s germany who wins the lottery and starts hanging out with rich gay guys and

It ruins his life.

It was pretty good.

Oldboy is one I keep comi g back to. I dont think I 'get much' out of it but I enjoy watching it.

Love the disclaimer, love the info. Great post. Thanks!

Reading about microplastics always makes me feel better that when I was a kid I wouldnt use certain cups because they "made everything taste plastic-y".

I always try to write something for this and end up deleting it and not posting so here is me posting in the free talk. Its free.

This rules. I appreciate all of the writing youve been sharing recently, I find your perspectives unique and challenging(good).

in April King Charles gave his support to research that would examine the British monarchy's links to slavery.

Doesnt take a lot of research to examine the links between british monarchy and slavery.
