@herspawn : [ circle ] — my muse makes shapes with your muse’s c*m on the floor/their belly/etc; nsft memes. no longer accepting.

under the light of the unbitten moon, there is not the chosen monster and our lady of hunger. instead, there is only nesta & ivy.

perhaps it would be too uncouth to say that consumption is sex not only in the metaphorical, but the literal. underneath the stars in the whispers of ivy's tent, there is an extra set of hands that should not be there. they say that in the shroud of night, there is safety for the monsters that go bump in the night, and sure enough: the monster has sunk her teeth into something juicy, tender, delicious - and that something, that bleeding, ripe vessel has sunken her teeth into her in return.

ivy lay atop her, here, and nesta has the best view in the house - mouth-level with the fellow warlock's dampened cunt, fingers exploring the folds and the noises she can rip out of her with the most intentional of touches to her throbbing clit. this is a war of attrition, though, and nesta knows that - for ivy has a seat just as lovely as nesta's own. she can't see the entirety of the source of the pleasant sensations rippling through her core, but she knows that ivy's face is planted right between nesta's own thighs, the multisensational ministrations down there caused by her fellow warlock's tongue and fingers.

" fuck, "  she whines, her fingers plunging deep into the other's soaked core, taking a moment to catch her own breath, laughing as ivy works her body. overwhelmed was an amazing word to use right now, her eyes bleary and weak as ivy refuses to let up. nesta put herself in this situation, though: she should know better than to place a bet against someone who, like her, has a soul entrusted to someone else in exchange for power. there's a stereotype, here, about warlocks and gambling, but that didn't stop nesta from draping her legs over ivy's lap an hour ago and telling her that she absolutely could make ivy cum more times in a night than ivy could make her. 

she should have retracted her statement with the look that ivy gave her in response, but no - this bliss, this feeling of weightlessness paired with a cry as ivy bites down on nesta's clit, nibbling it in an attempt to tug on the sadomasochistic heartstrings of the lady of hunger, is divine. this overwhelming sensation is indulgence, indulgence that precedes consequence, and she cannot wait to lose. ivy's breath is hot against her thigh as she begins rocking back into nesta's fingers, and nesta, pulled from her fugue state, lowers her chin and lets her tongue hang out, guiding ivy's hips back to work her face against the other's beautiful body, moaning into her patchwork flesh with genuine arousal. the members of their camp are going to hate them tonight, but nesta can deal with it come morning, for there is no greater pleasure than this. she is completely enveloped by ivy's essence, inhaling her scent and tasting her in this moment.

warlocks love to gamble - and some, like nesta, love to lose.

in the new position, ivy's mouth can't reach nesta's cunt like she'd like, but it seems her quick-witted companion has every intention of not giving up, her middle two fingers pumping in and out of her, fingers working her clit, using both hands to make up for a lack of mouth movement, and fuck if nesta has not set herself up for failure. she can't finish without something on her clit, and ivy knows this, intending to ruin the object of consumption long before her silver tongue can work another orgasm out of her.

and fuck, it works. 

the heat in nesta's body begins to rise at the continued pressure put on her clit, and she has to fight the urge to press her thighs together, to push ivy's hands away from it, to prolong the pleasure for as long as she can - but she can't. no, she can't, because her body wants this, to be pushed over the edge another time, and she wails drunkenly against her lover, pulling her mouth away, a starry-eyed expression and a slick coated mouth.

" i give up, " nesta says, and every part of her aches in all the best ways. she needed this - to be taken apart not by someone who wanted dominance or control over her, but by someone who understood what it meant to be bigger than your body, to have that excess bled out of you in the best ways you know how. she watches that shit-eating grin spread across ivy's face as she examines the cream on her fingers, her trophy for her victory.

her fingers press against nesta's stomach, just about where her womb lay, and nesta watches, amused, as ivy paints a tally mark on her stomach, one for each successful orgasm - one... two... three... four... oh, and the winning lucky number five. " i win, then, " ivy says, but it sounds like a question, and when nesta nods, the trophy is offered.

nesta opens her arms, welcoming ivy in. the loser had to be the big spoon.

nesta smiles, laughing between the other's shoulders, pressing a few lazy kisses to her skin. as they get tangled up in each other, a blanket is pulled overtop of them, and nesta's eyes close, her breaths slowly deepening against ivy. " thank you, " nesta mumbles, lips soft and tender in the afterglow - her hands explore ivy gently, not looking for another round but instead appreciating the body that quelled the hunger inside of her, " you were amazing. "

day six: art institute of chicago part three!!!

After the Georgia O Keefe exhibit we had about an hour or so to kill. So we went into the Clown Torture exhibit, which I was kind of excited about. When we entered the hallway leading into the exhibit two girls burst through the doors exclaiming "don't go in there its horrible!" which @germfreeadulthood and I took as a sign that this was exactly what we were anticipating. So went in we did.

There were two projections and two TV screens depicting different looping scenes of clowns in various stages of discomfort—shouting, screaming, dropping things, sitting on the toilet. It was honestly super funny and cool to see and I respected the multisense level of chaos it was attempting to bring forth. I imagine it worked for a lot of people—there were two girls behind us who came in, saw the screens, and immediately left.

We ended our visit at the Christina Ramberg retrospective. It appears she does a lot of microportraits of body parts, especially torsos and women's hair. The doll wall was lowkey kind of creepy and the description said it captured the race and gender stereotypes of the time—which I do agree with, a lot of very dated depictions from dolls that were to be given to children, to teach them to become accustomed to said stereotypes.

Then we said goodbye to the Art Institute of Chicago—we definitely didn't get a chance to see everything but I liked what we did get a chance to look at...and since the exhibits rotate I bet the next time I visit it'll be all different stuff!

Then we checked out the Chicago Cultural Center before we went home. The shop had art pieces and zines and stuff being sold by local artists and activists, which was cool. Most significantly however was the exhibit deeper inside...it was focusing on queer experience and AIDS—a lot of material from the late 20th century, pamphlets, magazine articles, photographs, newspaper spreads, projects, poems, print outs, etc...

Again, we didn't get to see all of it because we came when they were like 50 minutes before closing, but this is definitely somewhere I'd want to visit again. We took the bus back afterwards and I, once again, fell asleep for almost an hour once we got home.

I don't know why I keep falling asleep. I'm not usually so dizzy and low energy. I have been napping more than usual, even when I taught mroning classes. It might be a caffeine thing, it might be a hormonal thing, maybe I'm just homesick (and I'm starting to feel like that, homesick I mean...) I don't really know but I slept and slept and when I woke up I felt better and @germfreeadulthood made us mushroom miso pasta and we watched a shitty horror movie called The Devil's Hand that was supposed to be a horror movie about Amish people (because, for fuck's sake, I can't stop thinking about those goddamn Amish people!!).

It was very bad but hilarious in terms of the bizarre writing choices, not scary at all, the end..

...which lead into us talking about the movie I Saw the TV Glow, which I feel like is a movie a lot of people in my circle hated, but I lowkey kind of liked? So it was nice to hear @germfreeadulthood's perspective on its tackling of the topic of transitioning and race (or lake thereof) because those tend to be things that I don't think a lot about. I don't really think critically about movies, I think I have an initial reaction but I have to rewatch them a few times to really garner some sort of critique since I don't have any kind of background or understanding of how film criticism works—books are a lot easier for me because I can't finish them in one sitting, for example, I have more time to marinate on that gut reaction which lends itself to a more cohesive critique of the media overall...

Anyways...I showered and I feel better...I'm hoping my nap doesn't fuck up when I fall asleep but I feel exhausted just writing all this out...but we are going to go swimming in Lake Michigan tomorrow, then Tuesday we go to Indiana, then Wednesday I'm on the train home to California...

Multisense Realism- What You Need To Know About

Multisense Realism proposes that all phenomena stem from an experiential primitive, aesthetic-participatory in nature, rather than solely physical or mechanical. This view, driven by parsimony, contends that subjective experience is fundamental, and attempts to explain consciousness through physical or computational means fail due to their inability to account for the quality of "seeming" inherent in conscious experiences. MSR suggests that ontology is a subset of universal-holistic phenomenology, akin to cosmopsychism but distinct from solipsism, as it does not necessitate a separate sense of self. Critiquing attempts to solve the Hard Problem of Consciousness through physical or information theory, MSR integrates concrete physics and abstract logic into a continuum of experienced properties transcending subjective-objective distinctions. It posits a transpersonal scale of phenomenology, suggesting that subjectivity and objectivity arise from a partial splitting of the totality of experience. While echoing concepts found in nondualism and Tzimtzum, MSR aims to provide clarity on the nature of this apparent fragmentation within consciousness.

multisense on musescore you are a saint and i love you

[infinitesofnought]

Awareness of seeing is invisible. Awareness of hearing is silent. Awareness of touching is intangible. These three awarenesses are part of one indivisible personal awareness.

Personal awareness exists beyond both entropy and negentropy, it cannot seek itself or avoid itself by trying with direct personal effort.

To succeed in harmonizing mortal personal awareness with eternal transpersonal awareness, remain sensitive to sensitivity and aware of awareness, divesting from seeking or avoiding direct personal effort.

...Here I think that Taoism makes a decision to conflate the absence of subpersonal qualities of personal consciousness with an assumed absence of sensed qualities in sense itself. While I think this is false in an absolute or scientific sense, it is true enough locally that it is quite profound and leads to a useful philosophy for living our personal lives. This is the “Eastern Way” toward the attainment of a fully satisfied selfless self, in diametric opposition to the “Western Way” toward material attainment by a forever unsatisfied self that is selfishly ‘full of itself’.

Going back to the re-interpreted text, I think that the advice given is that to follow the Tao, aka seek ‘flow states’, one should, seemingly paradoxically, neither try nor avoid trying to take personal action. Perhaps it is the opposite of the Western sentiment attributed to Thomas Paine and George Patton “Lead, follow, or get out of the way.” The Eastern sentiment could be read as “Do not seek to lead or follow. Get out of the way.” The idea is to use personal motivation to integrate itself with transpersonal sense and motives rather than to assert its personal agenda onto the rest of the (interpersonal, subpersonal, impersonal, transpersonal) universe. ...MSR proposes that while it is true that our personal cocoon of insensitivity causes a disconnection with all other conscious experiences, this disappearance of consciousness is no enigmatic ‘non-existence’ or ‘suchness’ as Taoism suggests. MSR suggests that beyond the sensory cataract of personal experience is not a grand nothingness to which all sense returns, but one lone Holos or totality within which all experience is preserved forever in some sense (similar to the concept of the Akashic Records).

The Totality of experiences are eternally present and experience-able in an Absolute sense, but all component experiences are diffracted through complex nested modulations of relative insensitivity. This diffraction temporarily limits the totality of sense experience to a single timeline of experience that senses itself in terms that echo the very condition of that temporary limitation. Each diffracted partition of the Holos is a temporarily temporalized version of eternal experience into an episodic stream of memory-laden feelings and thoughts. This is the the binding of our subjective qualities of experience, including the sense of being a subject.

...In MSR, I critique physical entities like mass and energy as reductionist quantitative abstractions that accidentally deny the underlying universal fabric of qualitative sense affect and motive effect. Primordial sensory affect and motive effect replace mass and energy as the local modes of participation. The physical universe of anesthetic-mechanical appearances is understood to be a kind of shadow of the Aesthetic Holos that reflects the ability of consciousness to partially divide and alienate itself for purposes of multiplying and enriching itself. The physical world is not an illusion, simulation or maya, it is just that reality in the local sense is an inverted reflection of reality in the absolute sense.

...Everything from social media to the Metaverse to AGI is expanding our connection to disconnection. I think that because of that grounding in disconnection, all of these projects are ultimately doomed to failure in the ways that truly matter to us, despite promising exponential success in the ways that Western-Materialist model and its virally expanding institutions have conditioned us to think that we should want. We dreamed of extraterrestrial conquest, and instead we are conquering ourselves with anti-terrestrial nauseas. We have mistaken the uncanny for the sublime.

...Taking this back to the Tao Te Ching, I propose that Lao Tzu’s error is only an error in the absolute sense, not in a personal sense. While we are alive, the transpersonal conscious experience that envelopes our personal conscious experience is silent, invisible and intangible. We can only get glimpses of it when we’re not looking and our envelope of limited personal awareness is slightly breached such as noticing synchronicity or completely opened up in a life altering event. When those larger breaches occur and the personal intellect is flooded with its version of transpersonal awareness, some contents are necessarily distorted and omitted. Personal awareness correctly identifies its contact with transpersonal awareness as more significant than ordinary experience but without any means to ground it in its ordinary sense-making terms. Hence, to the outside observer, the psychedelic or mystical experience is seen charitably as visionary or uncharitably as psychotic.

To temper that extreme, chaotic end of the spectrum of consciousness, MSR should be seen as only an outer framework of philosophy to point toward the possibility of a new synthesis between the systemizing and empathizing modes of awareness. That possibility would be fulfilled when people free themselves from pathological extremes and find common sense closer to the terrestrial center of our universe and the fully individual and human center of ourselves.

– Craig Weinberg (x)

I agree with most of this post and suggest reading it in its entirety, but I don't think that the concepts of "nothingness" and "suchness" are really where the error is located. I think the error is a disavowal of "everythingness" - but it goes the other way as well. Going beyond either duality or non-duality means recognizing that "nothingness" and "everythingness" are really the same.

What is "suchness"?

Difficult to describe in words - but the "suchness" of, say, a flower means its unknowable essence, which includes the fact that it points to, and implies, everything that exists beyond or outside of it (the Totality). It is merely an expression of everything that came before it, as well as the ultimate principles that determine how things evolve.

(And yet it is what it is as well - this flower, here - nothing other than that.)

"They say each thing conceals some hidden thing. Yes, it is the thing itself, this unhidden thing, That lies concealed within." (Fernando Pessoa)

And yet. All of these principles and how they evolve, all of this totality, is nothing other than what it is. None of it actually "means" anything other than: this is how things are, in this universe. There's no, say, universal signifier that says that this is the way things have to be. It just...happened this way. This implies that the opposite could be true. Every affirmation contains within it its negation, and vice-versa.

(Again, difficult to describe in words, because there's in sense in which it had to be this way, couldn't have been any other way.)

Not only that, but when we refer to Totality we have to take into account how things could evolve in the future. In other words, what we have is not an inert record, but a record that pulses with potentiality.

That potentiality, which exists...before or behind everything, is the sense beyond sense. It is the taught string of the lyre. The Totality is every way the string has moved in the past, and every way it will move in the future. But what of the silence to which the string returns when its vibration dies down?

[s33]

We don't live in a physical world...and neither does physics.

The only world we can ever know is generated by, for, and within conscious experience - which is misinterpreted and abstracted in physical theory behind concepts like 'frame of reference' and 'contextuality'. It is, after all, perception alone that frames, refers, contextualizes (temporal causality), and entangles (spatial locality). The sense of touch and memory put the physics into physical theory.

[derautoblogger]

Etwas mehr als ein halbes Jahr ist es her, dass wir bereits ein wenig Zeit mit dem Flaggschiffkombi von Renault verbringen durften. Als quasi einer der ersten Blogger durften wir den Renault Talisman Grandtour fahren, filmen und fotografieren woraus dieser Artikel entstanden ist.

Inzwischen haben wir den herrlichen Kombi der Franzosen etwas genauer unter die Lupe nehmen können, woraus dieses Video entstanden ist.

Der erste Eindruck aus dem Mai 2016 bestätigt sich auch während unserer 14-tägigen Testphase im Dezember. Der Talisman erweist als echter Glücksgriff. Nicht nur für den Hersteller der damit ein heißes Eisen im Segment der Oberklasse-Kombis vorweisen kann. Nein, auch der Fahrer eines Renault Talisman Grandtour darf sich glücklich fühlen, weilt er doch in einem recht besonderen Fahrzeug. Was so besonders an dem Talisman Grandtour ist beschreibt dieser Test.

Mitten ins Herz

Mittens ins Herz soll der Renault Talisman Grandtour treffen. Ins Herz der Oberklasse Kombis die vornehmlich aus Ingolstadt, München und Stuttgart kommen. Die richtige Länge hat die französische Lanze dafür bereits, denn mit 4,85 Meter nimmt er sich genau die Kandidaten Audi A6, BMW 5 und Mercedes E-Klasse zur Brust. Viel Platz bieten diese alle, natürlich auch der Talisman Grandtour welcher mit einem Kofferraumvolumen von 608 Liter bis 1.022 Liter aufwarten kann. Allerdings geht dieses Kofferraumvolumen etwas zu Lasten der Beinfreiheit der Fondpassagiere. Auch wenn die Platzverhältnisse hinter einem 1,76 Meter großen Fahrer noch ausreichen schwinden diese bei größeren Fahren doch merklich.

Allradlenkung auf gutem Niveau

Regelmäßige Leser wissen, dass wir bereits in 3 Renault Modellen die Allradlenkung erfahren konnten. Neben dem Talisman wird diese noch im Megane und im Renault Espace eingesetzt. In letzterem konnte diese nicht überzeugen, dafür umso mehr beim Talisman.

Schnell und präzise werden Lenkbefehle umgesetzt wobei die stoische Ruhe bei Geradeausfahrt beispiellos ist. Unter 60 km/h (im Sportmodus 80 km/h) lenken die Hinterräder entgegen den Vorderrädern, bei höherem Tempo lenken alle vier Räder parallel (Hundegang) ein.

Generell macht der Talisman Technikaffinen Menschen Spaß bringt er doch von Haus aus jede Menge Gadgets mit die sich andere Hersteller tapfer bezahlen lassen. Ist der Talisman wie der Testwagen mit dem 1,6 Liter Turbodiesel ausgestattet trägt er zwangsweise die “Intense” Ausstattung. Zu dieser zählen dann solch illustre Extras wie Voll-LED-Scheinwerfer, Licht- und Regensensor, Navi, verschiedene Assistenten, Klimaautomatik und das Multi-Sense-System.

Multi-Sense hinterließ allerdings einen etwas gespaltenen Eindruck. Im Sportmodus zeigte sich der Talisman als weder Fisch noch Fleisch. Soll heißen das er nicht wirklich frei von Schaukelbewegungen war aber trotzdem recht hart durchfederte. Auf den ersten Blick klingt dies nach zu weichen Stabilisatoren. Erschwerend kommt dann noch der recht beschränkte Abrollkomfort der 19-Zoll Räder hinzu. Viel Felge bedeutet immer wenig Gummi. Wenig Gummi bedeutet harter Lauf :-(

Als albern muss die im Sportmodus erklingende Soundverstärkung genannt werden. Ein Diesel der so klingt, markiert keinen sportlichen Motor sondern klingt eher nach einem Fall für den Service.

Eigentlich schade, denn die Antriebskombination aus dem 1,6 Liter großen und 160 PS starken Vierzylinder-Turbodiesel macht einen wirklich guten Eindruck, sieht man von der spürbaren Untermotorisierung ab.

Sagen wir es mal so. Der 1,6 Liter Motor zeigt keine wirklichen Schwächen aber leider auch keine echten Reserven. Bei Fahrten über Landstraße, Autobahn oder im Stadtbetrieb macht er alles sang- und klanglos mit, wirkliche Fahrfreude lässt sich allerdings nicht feststellen.

Neben einem zweiten Turbolader würde hier ein Hubraumupdate die Lücke zu einem potenten Aggregat schließen.

Dafür glänzt der Motor mit leisem Lauf und knausrigem Spritverbrauch wodurch er unmerklich eine entspannte Fahrweise hervorlockt. Roundabout 6,4 Liter lagen so im Durchschnitt an was sich für den langen und mit knapp 1,6 Tonnen als respektabler Wert erweist.

Fazit

Renault bietet mit dem Talisman Grandtour einen mehr als respektablen Einstieg in das Segment der Oberklasse Kombis. In Sachen Ausstattung und Chic muss sich der Wage vor keinem Mitbewerber verstecken. Die innovative Allradlenkung ist in spürbares Sicherheitsplus und entlastet den Fahrer au langen Etappen.

Der verbaute 1.6 Liter Turbodiesel lässt leider einige Leistungsreserven missen. Ein Update auf mehr Hubraum und die Biturbo-Technologie würde den Grandtour in die Hall of Fame des Kombi Segments hieven.

Hey I was wondering if you’ve seen the ‘new’ research article on gender dysphoria that medical daily, Newsweek and science daily(among others)reported on yesterday and maybe your thoughts on it? (Jsyk newsweek was the only one i found that even mentioned what other drs thought of it)

do you mean this one ? yes, i skimmed thru it, good on them for doing away with the Gendered Brain Theory bc that was and is a bunch of bullshit that sounds right only to ppl who still think we all use only 20% of our brain or whatever. 

what this guy describes (as in gender dysphoria is a hierarchical multisense association network) is very on brand w/ the bodied perception concept (which is a fav of mine and i would love to see those two theories integrated, especially in the context of body-ownership) and its nice to see it backed up w/ neurological data. though, the concept in itself is not NEW, there’s been some research comparing body dysphoria to situations like phantom limbs etc. 

but like, u know. a cis person is gonna read this article and be like OH, so it is somewhat biological, IT IS VALID!! but trans/nb ppl are way past this point already. yeah theres biological basis in all of this but it wouldn’t be realized without the societal influence and thats where the focus should be. also i would hate if this article was used to tell trans ppl w/o dysphoria that theyre not trans just because their brain has organized certain concepts in a different way because of their hormones and their life experiences. 

i suppose the validity of this article depends on whether you think hierarchical association models of perception and/or cognition make sense (personally i think they do but i also know this cant be proven 100%) and whether the brain parts mentioned in the article (im copypasting them to look smart: neuronal substrates of the BNST, anterior hypothalamus (encompassing the INAH3 AH THE GAY GENE), anterior 294 insula, intraparietal sulcus, superior parietal lobule, and orbitofrontal cortex) really do correspond with the dimensions the guy came up with. with neurological data, you can never be 100% sure. 

so to sum up, like a good psychologist: IT DEPENDS.

a nice paper discussing some biological theories and how they can be useful in trans discourse is ‘trans as bodily becoming: rethinking the biological as diversity, not dichotomy’ by riki lane, i havent read it in a WHILE but i remember it had some good takes and the paper u asked me about made me think about this one
