It’s a historical hub for the somali community and also conjoined with half the minneapolis u of m campus, its like knocking on the front door of a fortress

The first thing I thought when I heard they were raiding town was that if they tried cedar-riverside, it wasn’t gonna work

at a certain level of any creative or intellectual collaborative job the main task is sin-eater: to fix what you can and get blamed for what you can’t, secretly knowing how much worse it would have been if you hadn’t done what you did.

I am glad there are still people here from the beginning of the saga! And I hope the secrets were good treasures

pluribus… what if HDP has prions…

Time for DireDash

an obelisk appears:

it is a pillar of inspiration that transports your mind to fascinating worlds and fills you with wonder, intrigue, and awe.

Oh good the whispering forest is gossiping about me again

North of Reality was some of the best short fiction on the net so this is truly gonna fuck

thank you!

NORTH OF REALITY Official website of Uel Aramchek. New and bizarre fiction added thrice weekly.

For those who haven't been before, I wrote over 300 short works of fiction as part of my northofreality.com project, most of which are on the website, and some of which are secret documents carried by a select few. The Greater Reality Area will begin as a newsletter, and evolve in its own way.

On this, the day of my birth, I am pleased to announce that I will be launching my next publication, THE GREATER REALITY AREA, on JANUARY 3RD, 2026. It has been several years since NORTH OF REALITY, and here shall begin my long awaited return to the fray! New logo by @tinyobscurae.bsky.social

they’re eventually going to drop the net and just be flix

Good things coming in the new year. The culture is too fucked. The only option is just to make it myself

game features PvG (player versus God)

met my parents for lunch at the mall of america. we walked by ebisu. my mother, a woman in her seventies with no knowledge of anime, pointed at a life size statue of roronoa zoro and said “you should start dressing like that”

bluesky seems to also be deeply bot captured, but because the bots aren't ragebaiting or longthreading pseudo-intellectual screeds, they're seen as a nonissue. I do wonder what kind of research is being done with all these...

youtubers seem to think any story where not everything is fully explained is cosmic horror

and if you ever saw it
you would even say “gallows”

jemble broke up with AAWII btw that’s why the goofs are out for Funghis again

thinking about the berlin wall with this one

green olives are artichoke eyes
zucchini noodles are artichoke intestines
the remaining anatomy is left as an exercise for the reader
do not insert the artichoke’s heart until all vital organs are accounted for

expedition 33 is that good and every attempt to find a reason to say otherwise right now is producing some really remarkable gymnastics. the game is great regardless of geoff games sowing the annual discord

Dating apps are a hideous meat market driven by gambling, but you cannot transcend that reality by building your own custom meat market in google docs. Go outside. Face feeling alone head on. You’ll get a better idea.

Rather than simply going outside and participating in reality, a growing population expects a ready to go prefab for their romantic ideal on account of their own self-assessment. It isn’t real. If you are alone you must wage war on it through the cold interface of the world.

All of these desperate pleas in the dark for a partner from the psuedointellectual class, patting each other on the back with vouchers over their date me docs… it is all to try to transmute their alienation into value. Obviously it doesn’t result in love; just celebrating the self in its absence.

We need legislation for shopping with dignity. The amount of anti-theft lockers, banning of personal bags, etc. is unreasonable and dehumanizing. somehow stores like target or cvs haven't figured out that people won't even bother going from the absurdity, even as their businesses collapse

in all seriousness, bumble gave me the worst results, the conversation locking system is out of date and doesn't really achieve what it was initially designed for. even if you get a match the odds of being able to have more than the world's most stilted conversation is low

seeking money for my eagle training startup. they're already paying for the immortality research half of this plan so I'll just buy them out when the bubble breaks

that is the face of the gambler's dopamine rush of "someone deigned to look at me"
