i have finally landed a job interview and i have Such mixed feelings about it

#on one hand: fucking finally i will be making my own money #on the other hand. sigh. #cant wait to do something i dont enjoy for at least eight hours per day five days a week #clenching my fist and thinking about the things i can buy to convince myself this is worth it #crafts. i can contribute to kofis. art. tasty beverage without feeling monumentally guilty. saving up to move somewhere i want to be #absolutely unprompted #i would add on the pro that id be less of a family disappointment #But that ship has long since sailed. any pride my parents express will just make me uncomfortable/mad so technically its a con! #'finally youre contributing to society' i dont WANT to contribute to society #society is a capitalistic hellscape. society needs a fucking reform #fuckign... biting people... #i belong in the paleolithic area. i would kill it at hunter-gathering. everyone would want me in their hunting/foraging group #id live so bright and fast and then die of eating the wrong mushroom... as nature intended...

my problems with discovery's spore drive have nothing to do with the wacky mushroom science. Like this is Star Trek™ not some bonefide diamond on the Moh's Scale of Sci-Fi hardness like The Martian. I know to expect the writers playing a bit fast and loose with physics and how the real world works. I'm here for that wackniess, actually. Love me some technobabble about mycelial spores or tetryon particles or whatever! the thing that doesn't work for me is the way the spore drive acts narratively, and how the technology was introduced within the timeline of the series. Like it's just obvious that the writers aren't willing to let anyone else but Discovery have access to the spore drive. They twisted up the Glenn in season one, so Discovery is the only ship with a spore drive. They hemmed and hawed about genetic modification in season 2 so no one else got a spore drive. They purged records of the spore drive's existence from history and claimed that no one else had tried to make anything like it in 900 years despite a massive dilithium shortage and canonical search for other methods of propulsion in season 3. And then at the very end, just when you think, oh hey maybe the entire population of Kwejian will make for a nice crop of new spore drive pilots, the writers fucking blow up their whole planet just so they don't have to let anyone else have the spore drive. And to be fair, they can't really let anyone else have it, or else Discovery loses it's right to be "the only one we can turn to in a crisis". And that's really all it has going for it. So, I get it! Still hate it, though. And, even moreso than all the silly narrative contrivances that are used to nerf transporter technology so that the plot can still happen, this bothers me. Because sure, all the ion storms and interference can get a bit stupid. We all make fun of star trek for inventing a technology that could immediately yoink our blorbos away from their problems, only to turn around and force it to not work when it's needed most. But at least there isn't just one ship that has the ability to use the transporter at all. That would be ridiculous. Everyone would want their own transporter. And yet, that's the situation we have in Discovery. Only one ship can travel across the galaxy in the blink of an eye. The show writers keep contriving to keep it that way. And given how useful instantaneous travel is, the fact that it hasn't been replicated once, by any species in the galaxy, not just the Federation, in 900 years is just stretching the limits of my willing suspension of disbelief.

#sporkandpringles original #gripes #star trek discovery #the spore drive #I think it's a cool concept #but the timing is weird #and even if we say 'oh the Federation didn't use it for moral reasons' like... #...do you think that would stop the Orions? the Romulans? literally anyone else who isn't the Federation? #I don't think so #'oh it was top secret' #so is no one studying the mycelial network? #are there no other mushroom scientists? stamets is the only one? #we know that's not true another one was on the Glenn #if different societies are expected to independently invent warp drive then why not also the spore drive?

I really like the idea of the kids being mythical creatures, but, in that way where it's something that just... came into being

Sticky's a nature spirit that manifested in an abandoned library that became overgrown with ivy and mushrooms and plants. He grew out of the warped books being eaten away by fungus, full of knowledge and used to the lonely cold and damp

Kate's a wind spirit that appeared laughing during a festival full of flags and kites and little kids running with pinwheels. She did handstands and somersaults along the banner, laughing along with the children whose skin she tickled

Reynie is the spirit of one of the ancient gargoyles perched on the roof of the orphanage leftover from when it used to be a home. Miss Perumal would talk to it sometimes when she visited, and then one day Reynie appeared in the line up of kids, as if he'd always been there

Constance is the spirit of a child's lost rainboots, discarded and looked over but never claimed as they sat in a lost and found bin, listening to the whispers of all who had let something important go missing. Unwanted, but stubbornly resilient in looking for a home and a way back to somewhere she belonged

#And then Milligan could be like a big wind spirit #But he got captured when he was walking around being human one day #And then he didn't know how to turn back #And Nicholas just kind of runs a home for literally any and everyone who needs it #I don't know a lot about the fine details #But this idea really stuck out to me #I really like the Sticky one #Because I read about this researcher who wrote a book on mycology #Grew mushrooms on it #And then ate those mushrooms #Hmmmmmmmmm so many thoughts #the mysterious benedict society #mbs #sticky washington #kate wetherall #reynie muldoon #constance contraire

GOD........... if I knew the first thing about zines a DPS zine featuring a bunch of different recipes and art/fics of the poets making them would be so so so lovely. AND it would double as a cookbook. GOD

#i'm going to be honest. i was just having my dad's tomato soy sauce chicken #and thinking about like. how much i love food. and eating. and cooking #and homemade recipes... the love........ #i need to have todd anderson over. i need to make that boy some cawye couswe fresh off the stove #with the youtiao on the side so they don't get too soft and big plump shiitake mushrooms. mmmmmmmmm #to be honest. i'm kind of just hungry #dead poets society #dps

I don't think people realize how "democracy" has gotten in the way of progress.

Yes, in a more ideal society (with more ideal people?) This shit would all work out for the betterment of mankind and the planet.

But what do we have? A bunch of rich assholes, entitled assholes, and ignorant assholes in positions of power to fuck everyone over.

All together. Even if there are OBVIOUSLY solutions to all our ills... mf can just be like "nope. Would rather argue about the obvious"

Meanwhile the planet is on fire.

Please shut the fuck up if you know what we are currently doing is not working and it is not working fast enough

Edit: I will block you. This isn't an argument.

People struggling with mental health issues could soon see another treatment option in Illinois.

A new bill would legalize “magic mushrooms,” for adult supervised use. Under the proposal, people would only be able to use the psychedelic drugs at a licensed service center. The FDA has considered the mushrooms a “breakthrough therapy” to help people with PTSD and depression who are resistant to other treatments.

Advocates, like Jean Lacy say if this becomes law it could be a big help. Lacy is the founder and Executive Director of the Illinois Psychedelic Society.

“People are really, at large they’re pretty desperate for new tools to help us with our mental health,” Lacy said. “I think collectively we’re all under a lot of stress, and that you know, I think there are serious consequences to continue to withhold these medicines form the people who need them.”

The bill’s sponsor says they’ve been working with law enforcement organizations on this proposal. She says the Illinois Sheriff’s Association is hesitant about the bill. If it becomes law, Illinois would be the third state to legalize magic mushrooms.

The proposal would not let people sell or have the drug the recreational use.

The best thing about Sabikui Bisco (aside from it being a GREAT series) is that when someone asks me what it's about I can look them dead in the eye and say "Illegal magic mushrooms" and not be lying.

#and then when they ask for more explanation you says it's about giant crabs and the power of friendship #also the complete dismemberment of a corrupt capitalist society #sabikui bisco #rust eater bisco #bisco #I suppose it could also be summarized as Magic mushrooms are illegal under capitalism #both are good

The true nature of the mushroom pope (”The Voice”) revealed, Petr and his new human friend - Raphael - conspire to take them down for good! (An assassination performed by two 12 year olds can't be that hard, right?)

When finishing this painting I thought it’d be fun to mock it up into a mid-game menu screen concept :) 🍄

#this project is UNRELATED to spore the popular videogame i only found out that existed after naming it rip #painting #fantasy art #illustration #divine decay #woods #petr: so then we FLY in from above and GET them #raph: because we can Totally fly yeah ok sure #petr: look i bet if i pray hard enough- #theyre having a great time its fine their plan is airtight what could possibly go wrong #theyve got such a long walk to figure the details out in so its so fine!! #(narrator voice it was Not Fine) #petr #raphael #but uh yeah so this is gonna a rambly lore dump in the tags because this is a personal chronical at this point but: #pov u were raised mushroom catholic your whole life with all of your society lead by your one mushroom pope #who is also mind connected to all of you #(not present all the time they dip in and out of peoples heads but fully capable of dropping into your senses and body whenever) #and the position youve been raised to take on is literally to be their eyes and ears #also this pope has lived for thousands of years and yall die age 80 or whatever so like. theyre NOT god but theyre p fucking divine #then BOOM youre teleported fucking MILES away and out of their range. alone for the very first time #but NOT FOR LONG cuz this other scared kid also got teleported but theyre HUMAN and you want each other DEAD only youre both scared and #lonely and theres wild monsters that want to eat you so like its fine if just for a bit you team up because theres no point dying to some #random beast instead of an epic battle #and then you start talking to the kid and like oh shit theyre like nice. and they say its YOU guys who started the war and the humans were #here first #and you still have your counter of yeah but we NEED to block out the sun or else we'll literally die we want to be on the surface too #only #youve been in the sun for the last week and other than getting a little dehydrated youre Fine #so if they were lying about humans being only capable of rage and if they were lying about dying in the sun

warm up???

little frog lad

a different kind of bloom

we think of rot as a solitary thing, i think lying in the fetal position on an unmade bed hugging a pillow to your chest, praying that it’s spared when the skin slides off your bones and the house caves in on you alone but have we not all rotted before? will we not all rot again? scrolling for miles, addicted, thousands of censored words tattooed on our corneas the coroner will say the cause of death  is the social rot we all hold close to our heart- the sign of being teens when the world stopped but were we not rotting together? did the  rot not spread? our parents will weep for children lost to fairy lights and little frog lads to mushroom earrings and eyeliner on lips to pronouns and pride flags and the beginning of being forever fifteen, forever realizing that the rot clears away the exterior and the bone underneath  is something unifying, a reminder that we are alive beneath the skin we wear when there are no expectations, when there is no social norm to conform to, when the rot seeps through the perfect child and exposes the rest- the messy, the sad, the lonely- to the world. will  we ever recover? will we ever find ourselves again? will we ever need to?

a commentary on the rise of alternative individualism (and the fall to yet another form of social commodification). ironically, this will be posted to tiktok.

#i say rot in this too many times. but i like it #also i never got the kawaii-ness of frogs. or mushrooms. and they just felt like the new mustache tattoos of the 2020s #it was also like… the point when being alt was trendy and being weird and funky was cool #and i really appreciate that aspect of the era #in a time when so much was taken away from us by the pandemic #but i feel like the ‘cutesy’ mushrooms and frogs and everything was just a way to make alternative fashion and subculture palatable #because suddenly it was cute and trendy instead of found out of necessity and oppression and rebellion #does any of this make sense. idk #jac writes #poems #poetry #poet on tumblr #poems of tumblr #original poem #dead poets society #alternative #alt girl #2020
