#speculative

To announce & introduce my upcoming week (June 16–22) of un-popular music creation and concerts at the wonderful WORM in Rotterdam, NL—and perhaps make me even less popular :-) —Richard Foster, Esq., began serially posting my answers to some probing questions he recently asked me.
Here’s the first part : « Do not listen to obey. HEAR. Think. Resist! »

On Good Friday I sent Delaware's Only Dadaist, Justynn Tyme, one of my recent sudokoems. Here is what he made of it ...

My latest Brief Ecology post is live. This edition includes an essay I wrote for @clarkesworld last year about the eeriness of nature in both ecology research and speculative fiction.

'Applaus! (voor vier klappers)' & 'Rites (sudoku triangelkwartet)' are rhythm based suso pieces that traverse the full set of 362,880 colorations of their initiating grid. 'Applaus!' lasts one, and 'Rites' will play for five full years. This soundblog texts provides the technical & combinatorial details, with some thoughts and reflections on the 'signification' of this 'sudokist serrealism.'

My poem "Nuliajuk and the Birds" has been published by Strange Horizons. http://strangehorizons.com/wordpress/poetry/nuliajuk-and-the-birds/ #poetry #PoetryCommunity #IndigenousCreatives #SpeculativePoetry #poem #Speculative #WritingCommunity

In APPLAUS!, 362,880 distinct colorations of a #sudoku solution provide the serreal patterns for 4 up-tempo contrapuntal rhythmic 'voices,’ performed by 4 persons clapping their hands.

A complete, unabridged rendition of the piece lasts exactly one year. The recordings on the album (made with #SonicPi) traverse that year in ‘FF’: 87 out of 362,880 ‘runs’ were selected at regular intervals from their lexicographic sequence.

High Times in the Low Parliament

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Times_in_the_Low_Parliament
High Times in the Low Parliament is a 2022 fantasy novella by Kelly Robson, who described it as "a lesbian stoner buddy comedy with fairies — about Brexit"

But it's also a story of hope, reminding us that building resilient communities, one small step at a time, for decades, is what it takes to overcome adversity of the kind we seem to be facing today. No, the Moral Arc of the Universe doesn't bend anywhere in particular. We have to do the work, and it will be painful, and it will take generations of sacrifice. #blackhistory #literature #scifi #futures #speculative #dei

The #KrononautMoon Project seeks to make contact with #TimeTravelers — i.e., extradimensional beings — by promoting decentralized community experiments during the #TotalLunarEclipse. There will be 3 #TLEclipses in the next 2 years. The first of the triad occurs next month on 2025 Mar 14, the night of the #FullMoon & March's #WormMoon. All are invited (even skeptics) to celebrate on Thursday or Friday evening under the stars — wherever you are.

@KronoMoon on #Mastodon shares toots, articles & videos on various sub-themes and sub-theories, because any theory of #TimeTravel is polydimensional, beyond our current technology, and incomplete. Often associated with #UFOs or #UAP, a real-life encounter with a #spacetime ship or a #TimeMachine is less likely than some kind of #quantum #signal. It's possible that such signals have been beaming toward us for a long time. Please take lots of #photos of the #Moon and share them with @KronoMoonPhotos, so that we can document any anomalous phenomena. The plan focuses on Lunar Eclipses that are "Total" (typically occurring about once per year) and not other types of Eclipses.

Hey, wait wait wait, hey. Sounds like ME / CFS, long covid, and post viral syndromes?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzqXeAtDnTA&t=658s

28-year-old with muscle and breathing problems, plus exercise intolerance.

What if the (possibly implacated) pre-problem pathogens (or other pathways)
are affecting mtDNA expression / production in people who later develop ME / CFS and long covid, etc?

Cuz pathogens can (sometimes) fuck with your wiring, right?

I am SO not a doctor, it’s not even funny.
Any fellow non-biologist, non-medic, etc untrained people,
take heed:
this is pure gd CONJECTURE!
Not a law, theory, or even hypothesis.
Just untested speculation on my part: a guess.

Probably decades away from any substantive evidence in any direction.

(Pls do not homeopath thyself, unless thou hast tried all relevant evidenced or at least suggested treatments recommended first.
Non-science aside, please do not take this randomer’s musings as solid anything. Thanke.)
