Against Scrutable Malice 6EQUJ5 Stormy weather warning: This is a grumpy post - I hope at least it is not inaccurate - can metaphor be described as accurate? Anyway, you may feel the mood of this post is somewhat dire. I am a kind person, even tender-hearted. But if I want to comment on the shortcomings of patriarchy, I will. Men have screwed up.

Whatever I need, it's not going to be found here. All I can find here is a constant reminder of much society is indifferent to the individual.

I can't believe I might never talk to my therapist again. We had a good relationship. She was my wise friend.

vraic.wordpress.com/2025/10/01/t... Two #poems in my Two Poems series. Posts in this series include one poem that is recognizably some kind of #poetry. Plus one example of #vispo, which is also #asemic and an #abstractcomic, so we get #poetrycomics too. I can also tag as #zombies & #Halloween yay!

Yep the vispo tag is viable, that's great, but the free tag is full of sleaze. Won't use that one again.

vraic.wordpress.com/2025/09/29/t... We are up to #page 18 in this #free to #print #zine. This is an #abstract #comic, one of my favorite forms of #literature, also #asemic. Also visual poetry - is there a viable #vispo tag on Bluesky? #zines

It looks like I will have to give up the visual poetry tag. Bluesky is apparently as ignorant of literature as the rest of the world.

Needful #Magic, no. 63 - #Invocation for people who were insufficiently #mourned - not that guy mourned by the president, if you were mourned by a president, however incoherently, like whatever, you were sufficiently mourned. This is for Charles Rocket (his #death haunts me) and people like him.

I don't want to bite back my words anymore. I have been supportive. I have listened, attentively, respectfully. All my life, men required me to be their audience. Now I want to speak, but men don't want me to do that. It makes them uncomfortable or something, I really don't know what.

Alleged Criminal Masterminds Was this GLP comic published in newspapers? I do not remember it, and I cannot find evidence that it was part of the storyline in May 1993. The last day of Ghost Month is today, and even though the…

vraic.wordpress.com/2025/09/21/a... I decided to take advantage of the energy in the last day of #Ghost Month, so I split my #invocation of #autumnal #equinox #magick into a two-day #holiday. This is the first part.

Let's try this again... Here's the #sigil I devised for the #autumn #equinox. It will be part of the #magick included in my post at Vraicking on Monday. Same deal as the #asemic writing in my Needful Magic or Name series - you are welcome to use this in your own #art or #magic work.

Five Ghosts I was startled to hear the erudite Professor Justin Sledge, creator of the YouTube channel Esoterica, opine that nostalgia is depression. I appreciate his comment as an unsentimental insight into a rather sentimental subject, and it made me realize that I have at least one more post I can make in our Ghost Month series. Nostalgia is not just depression - it is a haunting.
