The Affirmation Creed
I believe: I become the potentialities where I made effort… The funambulatory way between ecstasies: the acceptance of all things, in entering all doors and the by-passing: unto myself only the law I make – the good and evil I affirm: the relatability of all things to ego, the apotheosis of Knowledge in ecstasy: in the gods and eternal flesh as all truth: that my way is the only way for me, however devious: That…Which I have enveloped from me, shall come forth as a potent elemental to my aid.
And I believe without reservation in the preservation of my concepts as the media of Ego, from which all things ultimately become. Amen
A. O. Spare (Zos vel Thanatos)

– Lev Grossman, The Magicians

It’s nice to see India learned important lessons from their former British suppressors.
Whatever we may think of television in America, this much is certain: it’s not good when someone who has abused his mind and body as much as Hunter Thompson comes up with something this honest and brilliant about the medium. It sets a bad example for the kids of America. How can grown-ups tell them drugs are bad when they see what they’ve done for Thompson, a man who glided through the 1960s thinking acid was a health food?

Sex workers are human beings…. from cam models to strippers to porn stars. It may not be your cup o’ tea (mmm, tea), but it doesn’t give you the right to disrespect or shame them.
Wouldn’t it be nice to earn a living doing something you love? I’d work graveyard shift at the Glory Hole. lol.
