<td>Very annoying how the author would yo-yo back and forth between making inane statements of genderism ("'Female' here should be understood as available to people of any gender, not a biological categorization." - quoted verbatim from the book) and then analysing how late stage capitalism contributes to feelings of inadequacy regarding one's body. If there's nothing wrong with you, then why transition? Hell, anyone who's known me long enough knows that I struggle with waves of severe dysphoria, but I've seen too many horrors of post-op complicatons to ever consider elective surgery for feelings that will likely fade once I start aging out of being able to "kin" pretty anime boys. (To anyone considering transitioning, I must ask you to consider - can you see yourself as an elderly person of the desired sex? Because choosing to live means growing old one day.) The author is too busy calling everyone with even a whiff of same-sex attraction "queer" to take this argument of bodily neutrality to its logical conclusion.</td>

<td>Most of the book was a slog, and I had to skip an essay or two, but there were two excerpts that made me feel "seen" (in an annoying Twitter way):<br><blockquote>It is characteristic of the Saturnine temperament to blame its undertow of inwardness on the will. Convinced that the will is weak, the melancholic may make extravagant efforts to develop it. If these efforts are successful, the resulting hypertrophy of will usually takes the form of a compulsive devotion to work. Thus Baudelaire, who suffered constantly from "acedia, the malady of monks," ended many letters and his Intimate Journals with the most impassioned pledges to work more, to work uninterruptedly, to do nothing but work. (Despair over "every defeat of the will" - Baudelaire's phrase again - is a characteristic complaint of modern artists and intellectuals, particularly of those who are both.) One is condemned to work; otherwise, one might not do anything at all.</blockquote><br>and:<br><blockquote>All his writings are polemical. But the deepest impulse of his temperament was not combative. It was celebratory. His debunking forays, which presumed the readiness to be made indignant by inanity, obtuseness, hypocrisy - these gradually subsided. He was more interested in bestowing praise, sharing his passions. He was a taxonomist of jubilation, and of the mind's earnest play.</blockquote></td>

<p>But if fascists are preoccupied with the supposed "invasion" of minorities into their countries, then who serves the purpose of the "invaders" in the "smol web" mythic past? Most manifestos pin the blame on, as stated in point two, the corporations that captured the people who came online around the time that personal phones became useful for Internet browsing. (Many an "Eternal September" comparison has been misused.) Unshackled from the previous requirements of being at home and sitting down at one's computer, or even <em>having</em> a computer, many multitudes of people were suddenly granted the ability to surf the information highway whenever they wanted (or could get signal, anyway). But since the small form factor of phones, even the 2012-era BlackBerries with physical keyboards, aren't conducive for writing HTML and don't have the battery life or stable IP address to host a website (even nowadays, and certainly not back then), the new Internet users were drawn to the newfangled social media sites that allowed them to publish words without having to learn a single line of code or pay a single cent.</p>

You have only to look at the fanart community for your favorite video game, particularly its more terminally online users, and watch them every time Elon Musk contemplates ruining Twitter further: they <em>know</em> they can make a personal website to showcase their work, but they also know that that means forgoing the algorithms and channels that led to people discovering their work in the first place. And posting to one's site and only using Twitter as a means of notification for new content, to them, just seems like extra work with no reward.</p>

||||||
<p>I have to write this quick and rough before the extra-strength melatonin takes effect and I conk out for the night: most days nowadays are good, and I am happy to be alive.</p>
|
|
||||||
<p>I've tried to write this post many times, but every time I start, I almost immediately decide that it's not worth it and I close my text editor. Maybe because it feels hypocritical: <a href="../../2022/02/SHUTUP.html">I've taken quite a dislike to the "smol web"'s constant bikeshedding over the banalities of the author's personal life</a>, and I don't want to take up the precious time of my readers whining about things they can't control when they could be doing something to improve their own lives. Which is what I've been doing, slowly and then with more force, since I finally moved out of my parents' house last summer: I've been spending more time in nature and biking around town (I'm still trying to map all the Little Free Libraries) and I even got up the nerve to join the local library board.</p>
|
|
||||||
<p>That's right: I plunked down my $10 membership fee and got to hear <em>all</em> the upcoming changes the library was planning to make! And I even got to <em>vote</em> on them! And I went home afterwards, as it was quite late by the time the meeting adjourned, and I curled up on my bed and cried. For so long I'd been used to being iced out, if not immediately rejected, by whatever communities I'd try to join online. But I've been in this small town for almost a decade now, and most of the librarians know me by name, and for that night I was a <em>valued</em> member on equal footing with all of them and with every other member there.</p>
|
|
||||||
<p>And on many nights I have to resist the urge to break out into tears again. Not of sorrow, but of relief: I kept my promise to Luce; I got a steady job and I got to move out and now I get to live a life self-sovereign and free. I mean, it's not a feminagorist paradise, but the only things stopping me from going where I want to go and doing what I want to do are the stoplights along the highways and Main Street and the scheduled times each business is open. Not having a car doesn't impede me in the slightest; working from home eliminates the need for a commute, and everywhere else is accessible by bike.</p>
|
|
||||||
<p>The only things I miss are Independence Park and the library in the town where I used to live. But my life is a contradiction: back there, I had access to all the sprawling fruits befitting a Twin Cities suburb, but I felt constrained, crushed, trimmed like a bonsai tree; here, where you can drive from one end of the town to the other in the space of a pop song and the library rarely has any poetry that isn't public domain, I feel expansive, free, full of every emotion my family's hereditary depression threatens to deny me.</p>
|
|
||||||
<p>I turn to my wife and I thank her for her change of plans. I thank her for making sure I am alive to experience this moment where my heart is full of joy and gratitude. I feel at peace.</p>
|
|
||||||
<p>I lean out from my bedroom window, having finally discovered how to pop the bug screen out from the window frame. Just like in that old suburb, the sounds of the highway sing a furtive lullaby made of gasoline, although both there and here buildings block most of the glittering headlights. The librarians, my work supervisors (all women!), my friends - I carry them all in my heart wherever I go, and instead of dragging me down I feel the lightest I ever have in my life.</p>
|
|
||||||
<p>The troubles and wars of the alt-tech communities online seem so remote and trivial from this vantage point. Linux is dying? I burn a few Debian DVDs and go on my way. The Internet is dying? Well, the ACP is over with, but my connection will remain strong so long as I pay for it on time. Free speech is dying? <a href="../../2022/08/kiwi.html">Kiwi Farms</a> still stubbornly remains, and I've been writing under the banner of MayVaneDay for nine years now with no intention of stopping. My anxiety tells me that I'm going to be fired at any moment, and then my supervisor pulls me into a Zoom meeting for my yearly review and tells me that I'm nearly perfect. My only flaw, the only thing left to improve, is not taking so seriously the weekly feedback everyone gets. She reminds me that she is not out to get me, that she does <em>not</em> fire people unless they outright <em>refuse</em> to do their jobs properly, that the feedback is so I can get better. She reminds me that she is beyond grateful to have me on her team and that I will have a job for as long as I want one.</p>

|
||||||
<p>My only sin, in childhood and adolescence, in my failure to thrive and my newfound fervor for life, is caring too much.</p>

<li>With my fingers. Typing tests average me between 85 to 100 words per minute, although this is obviously also dependent on the keyboard I am using, my mental status, and if I am re-typing provided material (like in the tests) or writing works fresh from my brain.</li>
|
|
||||||
<li>On Android I use <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20240707130456/https://f-droid.org/en/packages/net.gsantner.markor/">Markor</a> as it supports both Markdown and plain text without throwing a tantrum about file extensions and its wide range of features that come built-in. On Linux I use Nano as it gets out of my way. My <code>nano</code> command is aliased to <code>nano -ULSmix --softwrap</code> to keep the text area fullscreen and enable softwrapping, so long lines appear to go over multiple lines instead of having the overflowing characters be hidden by the edge of the screen. I despise hard wrapping and, after leaving the Gopher community at large (which practically demands it) sometime in 2020, I will never use it again.</li>
|
|
||||||
<li>I keep a folder full of text files, one per chapter or poem, and add to it over the course of several months until I feel it is sufficiently heavy. The "one file per part" strategy means I don't have to worry about sync conflicts from writing on multiple devices that are not always online at the same time to check in with each other through Syncthing. It does mean, if the parts of the book I am working on need to be in a specific order, I have to keep mental track of what number I am on to avoid nasty entanglements later.</li>
|
|
||||||
<li>The majority of the writing I do takes place on my Onyx Boox Tab Ultra C, which is a mouthful to say that I use an Android tablet with an e-ink screen that is disconnected from the Internet most of the time. It lasts several weeks on a single charge, especially if I am working outside in bright sunlight and I can keep the backlight off. It is small enough to fit in my miniature backpack and large enough that the keyboard is comfortable to type on and I can prop it up in my lap without having to find another flat surface to place it on top of. Before you email me to admonish me for spending so recklessly in the face of low income: I got it used off eBay for a steep discount. It is in excellent condition, although I suppose the screen could use a good cleaning. Blog posts, if I anticipate they will require any amount of online research, must wait until my full-size ThinkPad is available as Android is still not very comfortable for multitasking. But this post is not about writing posts, and anyways I am not frequently in the mood anymore to complain about things online.</li>
|
|
||||||
<li>For the books, once they get sufficiently heavy, <a href="../../2023/12/typesetting.html">I compile them using Calibre and its <code>.epub</code> editor.</a> Poetry I copy-paste each individual file where I want it and manually convert to HTML one at a time. Long-form prose I run through <code>smu</code> or another Markdown-to-HTML converter to do the heavy lifting for me before I throw the resulting files into the Calibre book editor.</li>
|
|
||||||
<li>It is a simple requirement of my personality. <strong>There is no Vane who does not write.</strong> Take away my digital typewriters and I will write on my phone; take away my phone and I will sneak onto the nearest computer in the middle of the night; lock me away from the rest of the world and I will fill up every notebook; take away all paper and I will cover my skin with scrawlings. When all else has been taken from me, my writing remains. I have survived every punishment, every admonishment, every termination doled out for my words. <a href="../../../2024_books.html">To quote Susan Sontag</a>, emphasis mine, from <em>Under the Sign of Saturn</em>:</li>
|
|
||||||
</ol>
|
|
||||||
<blockquote>It is characteristic of the Saturnine temperament to blame its undertow of inwardness on the will. Convinced that the will is weak, the melancholic may make extravagant efforts to develop it. If these efforts are successful, the resulting hypertrophy of will usually takes the form of a compulsive devotion to work. Thus Baudelaire, who suffered constantly from "acedia, the malady of monks," ended many letters and his Intimate Journals with the most impassioned pledges to work more, to work uninterruptedly, to do nothing but work. (Despair over "every defeat of the will" - Baudelaire's phrase again - is a characteristic complaint of modern artists and intellectuals, particularly of those who are both.) <strong>One is condemned to work; otherwise, one might not do anything at all.</strong></blockquote>

<li><b>2024-07-23</b>: I have located an old backup I had forgotten about that contained the <code>xanthexikes</code> Tor keys for Let's Decentralize. That onion should be working again. I will keep both up for convenience.</li>

<li><b>2024-04-10</b>: I've changed the way URLs are structured for blog posts. The new system will be in effect going forward and slowly be applied to old posts. If you link to one of my posts from elsewhere and you now get a 404, that's why.</li>

<li><b>2024-04-03</b>: The address for this website's Tor hidden service has changed! I still have access to the <code>meynethaffeecaps</code> keys; I just needed a change. See below and <a href="./identity/index.html"><code>/identity/</code></a> for the new address.</li>

it to a stranger
|
|
||||||
who first felt my chaotic blood, Judas, prime betrayer.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Goodbye, you old piece of shit,
|
|
||||||
even though you were the newest
|
|
||||||
apart from my desktop that I bought in hopes of work.
|
|
||||||
Funny how the decade-old
|
|
||||||
laptops bitter, short, and slow
|
|
||||||
have lasted longer than you did despite bearing far more hurt.
|
|
||||||
I'll have to spend a few days just to bleed
|
|
||||||
from the ego pain
|
|
||||||
of knowing a way
|
|
||||||
to repair is out of reach.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Rest in piss
|
|
||||||
in the salvage bin
|
|
||||||
or the back of my closet, never used again.

Fictionkin: the
|
|
||||||
identity
|
|
||||||
that you can at least partially
|
|
||||||
trace your roots, your origin,
|
|
||||||
to a piece of fiction.
|
|
||||||
Whether
|
|
||||||
as a character
|
|
||||||
or a place or general vibe,
|
|
||||||
you were born
|
|
||||||
in foreign clime
|
|
||||||
(or maybe here but other time)
|
|
||||||
with story that takes place elsewhere.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
For some, the explanation
|
|
||||||
of how this came to be
|
|
||||||
is spiritual: reincarnation,
|
|
||||||
or a split soul, separating
|
|
||||||
twins, or some other convoluted
|
|
||||||
explanation
|
|
||||||
that I haven't
|
|
||||||
the words to account for.
|
|
||||||
For others, the origin
|
|
||||||
of this phenomenon is
|
|
||||||
psychological;
|
|
||||||
the brain
|
|
||||||
is great
|
|
||||||
at contorting itself
|
|
||||||
into maddened shapes
|
|
||||||
for the sake
|
|
||||||
of survival,
|
|
||||||
and sometimes this means
|
|
||||||
self-convincing
|
|
||||||
that the person on the screen
|
|
||||||
or described in novel's prose
|
|
||||||
is the truest
|
|
||||||
expression
|
|
||||||
of the observer that one knows.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Having known
|
|
||||||
the mania of both,
|
|
||||||
I must record the following observations.
|
|
||||||
Please do not think me
|
|
||||||
some hateful entity
|
|
||||||
worth of being
|
|
||||||
erased from posterity
|
|
||||||
or harassed into silence:
|
|
||||||
these are not an outsider's
|
|
||||||
uninformed jabs meant to hurt;
|
|
||||||
all that I am about
|
|
||||||
to recount
|
|
||||||
is from my own experience.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
One of the biggest signifiers
|
|
||||||
of if a kin
|
|
||||||
is legitimate
|
|
||||||
is the presence of memories
|
|
||||||
that cannot be explained by prior
|
|
||||||
knowledge of the source material.
|
|
||||||
B-plots discarded; other characters
|
|
||||||
that would have made logical sense
|
|
||||||
to paper over a plot hole
|
|
||||||
but were erased, sometimes with remnants
|
|
||||||
like a stray clip of audio
|
|
||||||
or a model left untextured;
|
|
||||||
an explanation of what came before;
|
|
||||||
knowing what happens after fall the credits.
|
|
||||||
Secondarily,
|
|
||||||
even without exact memories,
|
|
||||||
a sense of familiarity
|
|
||||||
with the story's setting.
|
|
||||||
Like how, even though
|
|
||||||
I moved out of Forever Home
|
|
||||||
almost a solid decade ago
|
|
||||||
and of the changes made since I will never know,
|
|
||||||
when the plot of my dreams call for a dwelling
|
|
||||||
that floor plan is the first to volunteer.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
There is a man I'll call Anchorite
|
|
||||||
(although you can most likely guess
|
|
||||||
his true name if you're reading this
|
|
||||||
at the end of May's hiatus)
|
|
||||||
and for a solid two weeks he was *me*, he was *my* life.
|
|
||||||
I hued my nails, I bought hair dye,
|
|
||||||
I even tried to exorcise
|
|
||||||
the belly fat
|
|
||||||
that sought to pad
|
|
||||||
my organs from the world outside.
|
|
||||||
But through all this, though I could point
|
|
||||||
to a thousand different things
|
|
||||||
we held in common, what I always lacked
|
|
||||||
were his memories.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Can an individual form an identity
|
|
||||||
when removed from their surroundings
|
|
||||||
and of their memories made bereft?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You know, we bonded through a game
|
|
||||||
that asks that question in great depth,
|
|
||||||
and the conclusion that I drew
|
|
||||||
is that, when all traits
|
|
||||||
have been drained,
|
|
||||||
all that remains
|
|
||||||
is the costume.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
All that, after all, I have is
|
|
||||||
an image frozen, static.
|
|
||||||
Unless the damned character dies,
|
|
||||||
I get no closure,
|
|
||||||
no knowledge
|
|
||||||
of how
|
|
||||||
played out
|
|
||||||
the rest of their life.
|
|
||||||
Just a snapshot of how they were.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
They stay the same
|
|
||||||
in narrative loop
|
|
||||||
allowing me to change.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
I wonder
|
|
||||||
how others
|
|
||||||
handle
|
|
||||||
sequels.
|
|
||||||
If having remembered, under assumption
|
|
||||||
that what we held canon
|
|
||||||
was all we ever would,
|
|
||||||
the remainder of a life untransmitted.
|
|
||||||
To chain one's deepest sense of self
|
|
||||||
to the whims of a corporation.
|
|
||||||
If the universe is infinite,
|
|
||||||
I suppose that'd leave room to interpret
|
|
||||||
canon in a different
|
|
||||||
way.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
I should know, as Lethe Beltane.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
What I have as Lethe
|
|
||||||
that I never had as Anchorite
|
|
||||||
or any other
|
|
||||||
characters
|
|
||||||
whose "brainworms" wrapped me tight
|
|
||||||
is that sense of continuity,
|
|
||||||
the feeling
|
|
||||||
that the story
|
|
||||||
is happening *now*
|
|
||||||
and not something I need to measure myself against: found
|
|
||||||
wanting
|
|
||||||
in every category,
|
|
||||||
as yet the world's worst cosplay.
|
|
||||||
There is no "out-of-character":
|
|
||||||
who I am is me, is her.
|
|
||||||
No fear of discontinuity.
|
|
||||||
I am my own future.

Under occlusive skies better left unnamed
|
|
||||||
I toss and turn in bed, wracked with the pain
|
|
||||||
of reminder that elsewhere in the state
|
|
||||||
someone still towards me holds illest will,
|
|
||||||
thinks less of their memory of me
|
|
||||||
than perfection's divinity.
|
|
||||||
I try
|
|
||||||
to remind
|
|
||||||
myself less as a salve
|
|
||||||
than a desperate attempt to keep myself calm:
|
|
||||||
the body takes seven years to recycle its cells,
|
|
||||||
meaning no part of me experienced their hell
|
|
||||||
and for what I did am no longer responsible;
|
|
||||||
when I left, I made the cleanest break possible,
|
|
||||||
and if they haven't changed that yet I doubt they ever will.

Viridi Bush, I wanna know
|
|
||||||
what it's like under the snow,
|
|
||||||
bark from dog's teeth half-ripped
|
|
||||||
and surrounded by smeared shit
|
|
||||||
and locked inside a haphazard cage
|
|
||||||
until the very end of your days.
|
|
||||||
Father tried to kill us both
|
|
||||||
multiple times, or at least stunt our growth
|
|
||||||
to keep us contained and manageable,
|
|
||||||
and yet we've both managed to hold
|
|
||||||
on just barely,
|
|
||||||
to keep growing
|
|
||||||
even if pitiful and slowly.
|
|
||||||
I want to know if you recall
|
|
||||||
the days before Father put up the walls
|
|
||||||
around that section of the backyard
|
|
||||||
to keep the dogs from running far,
|
|
||||||
the days where I'd sit under a tree
|
|
||||||
and spend the whole afternoon reading
|
|
||||||
without so much as a care in the world.
|
|
||||||
Now two steps make me want to hurl
|
|
||||||
from the stench of piled-up feces,
|
|
||||||
and I can't escape without alerting
|
|
||||||
my mother by the sound of the garage
|
|
||||||
that does not soon follow Father's entourage.
|
|
||||||
I'd throw myself in harm's way for you, you know,
|

||||||
if Father ever decided to reduce your existence to a hole.
|
|
||||||
"This bush means too much to me to let
|
|
||||||
you tear it down. I'd look out my bedroom window
|
|
||||||
whenever caught in suicidal ideation's throes
|
|
||||||
and think to myself, if *you* cut it down and yet it survived death,
|
|
||||||
chose to survive
|
|
||||||
and grow back and thrive,
|
|
||||||
then maybe I,
|
|
||||||
with hands and feet to crawl out of hell,
|
|
||||||
can figure out a way to keep living as well."
|
|
||||||
I wish I could take you along
|
|
||||||
when I fulfill my promise to Luce and abscond
|
|
||||||
from this sad place with my life and my works.
|
|
||||||
Promise me I'll remain in your memories.
|
|
||||||
I'll replant you in Sablade once Father has us both burned.
