🎉30th Anniversary of the Venice Wake!🎉

Tonight, Gerry Fialka's legendary Venice Wake hits a huge milestone – 30 years of diving deep into the Finnegans Wake rabbit hole!

It took Gerry 28 years to read Joyce’s masterpiece, but two years later... he’s STILL going! Up to page… oh, Page 26. 🧐

Do you have a moment to talk about singularity, Oh Bringer of Plurabilities? That was our previous meeting, and now we are getting ready for more plurabilities to morra!

Art by Linda Lotiel

Yesterday we had a very special guest: Raphael Slepon, the Man Behind Fweet!
With the Man Behind Fweet in front of us, we examined the envelope, which was the star of the fragment, and ended up bewilderblissfully enveloping our examination in spectrality and fractality, adding some local colour!

In this mindmap, drawn today, blue and yellow unite as Ukraine celebrates it Independence. Just as with Ireland, Ukraine's way to freedom was long and hard, and, unbelievably, we still have to fight for it. Stand with Ukraine... and find a secret message in this picture.
Art by Linda Lotiel

Yesterday we met our fifth Thunderword, the improbable met the inevitable, and Joyce met Proust. Many other meetings besides, as well as discoveries - treasures in the trash, an archeological quest conducted by the Biddy the hen.
The matrix and the limerick are by @augustinealoysius.bsky.social

So much depends on a yellow tea stain spilled on a letter beside the original hen.

(This is the mindmap of our previous meeting. In our meeting today, the stain has grown even larger)

Art by Linda Lotiel

The matrix for our latest session was based on the art by the Dutch painter Gerard ter Borch. It inspired wild interpretations of its own: somehow even Freud got involved! He had to leave his cozy study and grab a time machine to travel to the 17 century Holland.
Ah, the chaosmos of Finnegans Wake.

I'm Probably Wrong About Everything We believe that a healthy dose of humility goes a long way. Asking questions is always better than guessing answers; there is a lot about life that we don't know. By listening to others, we just might...
