TRUTH-WIT’S PHLOGISTON

Steven Augustine

Good stuff. Not quite sure what the “stuff” is but it’s good. An academically-trained practitioner of the bodily-invested postmodern breaks down c. 30% of The Internet for us: extremely funny, nicely horrifying and data-rich with fetchingly honest asides. Highly recommended if you’re over forty and don’t often trawl the paraverse of the toxinet…   PART TWO: My take on the Trans Movement    Authority in self-identification would appear to be a (modern or postmodern) human right, but why is there no analogous (to the Trans Movement), credible, self-determining race-change movement? E.g.: there are lots of people with combined “black” and … Continue reading TRUTH-WIT’S PHLOGISTON

ANOTHER PICTURE FORMS in the CRACKLING FLAMES of these LITERARY ENDTIMES

Steven Augustine

Every Age has its signature follies: from 15th century Europe’s infatuation with the codpiece to the early-20th century radium craze (radium-filled chocolate bars, toothpastes and suppositories were once quite in), historical hindsight eventually makes a fool of every decade, dynasty, century and/or reign. What will “we” be known and mocked for by the super-sophisticates of the 23rd century? It’s always difficult to know as it’s happening  (eg, I’m quite sure I felt that elephant-bells and cork-heeled platforms  were fundamentally sound, at the time), but some trends are so fucking jaw-droppingly moronic that they sort of… stand out. Sticking, for the … Continue reading ANOTHER PICTURE FORMS in the CRACKLING FLAMES of these LITERARY ENDTIMES
