  1. Damn. I knew, and then temporarily forgot, that "The Nervous Set" was a beatnik / Beat Generation era (inspired) musical, but I failed to pick up on "The Ballad of the Sad Young Men" being a direct lift from F. Scott Fitzgerald - who, while not a Beat author, can definitely be considered to be a Beat precursor. Heck, the whole Lost Generation was a direct influence, once you see it.

    I love finding these interlocking webs betwixt different eras and movements. (And feel a little silly for not catching it sooner.)

  5. Hi #Kolektiva! Thanks for having me 😀

    I found my way here seeking a more empathetic and ethically aligned town square. At some point a "recovering technologist" needs to leave the industry entirely in order to do any good- tech communities are much less likely to care about actual genocide being enabled by their peers than they are to care about their own entitlements to innocence and virtue.

    I'll be talking intermittently about #FarRight recruitment in #Beatnik commmunities, #internet futures, #decolonial praxis in #Tech and #HarmReduction in these spheres and those beyond.

  6. @dweb @internetarchive This is how the #FarRight are recruiting in #Beatnik #hippie communities built on #ToxicPositivity. Communities like #Holochain. Communities like, for the most part, DWeb.

  7. topics on today's #gratefuldead cast include: meeting ken kesey, #beatnik jaunts to north beach, the cuban missile crisis, the “gnostic gospels” connection, the 1st person to declare the scene over, a 2nd hunter book from this period, #LSD, scientology, #bluegrass, more. dead.net/deadcast/robert-hunte #podcast #music

  8. I've just come across this wonderful period piece of 1960s provincial prejudice from a BBC report on #Beatnik culture in #Newquay , #Cornwall

    Have we moved on, or is the prejudice the same but different?

  10. Serious question - So Shaggy is a hippy or beatnik, and Velma is repping for the nerds (classic, iconic), but are Daphne and Fred Mods or Preppy?

  16. If you enjoyed the I highly recommend hunting down a collection of his paintings called "What Shall We Do Without Us: The Voice And Vision of Kenneth Patchen" (hint: check out Library Genesis).

    Every man is me,
    I am his brother.
    No man is my enemy.
    I am Everyman
    and he is in and of me.
    This is my faith,
    my strength,
    my deepest hope,
    and my only belief.

    Take a look at his book: "The Journal of Albion Moonlight" archive.org/details/journalofa

  17. WE need more beatniks. Not those literary beats from City Lights Books. Real beatniks. youtube.com/watch?v=SHB4ei5dJJ #beatnik

  18. @pixplz I am going to go with "misplaced optimism" + "susceptibility to propaganda", but as symptoms of Colonial claims to innocence and self-importance. This has been a common symptom in visiting with White #Permaculture spaces, for many of these reasons culturalsurvival.org/news/whit
    ...a lot of the #hippie / #beatnik communities are where these right-leaning conservative attitudes emerge.

    Even my heels would Make holes to the roof
    You wouldnt get even a peak for a proof
    Even my titties would be all over John and Jack
    you wouldnt ever see even a mole in my back
    If youd be last man on earth
    Id nail the doors shut and marry a toy
    Look to the mirror you pathetic boy
    You got a nature of a forest hog
    And a profile of a rapist
    Thank god Youre not a
    Catholic Church priest
    Any woman around you
    must need a therapist
    Havent ever met that hardcore masochist
    who would let you approach
    Even with a stick
    How about learning to suck your own
    little buddy
    And leave whole of the woman kind
    Out of it
    Your hope of whores in this world is just a sad wankers Perversion
    Teenage Boys version of how the world Rolls
    Looking at you makes me wonder
    how many of them never grows
    A brain or pair of balls

    He would like to have a prostitute
    but them working girls too have standards
    Wouldnt piss on him even for fun
    He takes pics of his tiny pale worm
    For a gift it is to woman kind
    Sends it in inbox to random women
    They need bleach to their eyes
    Praying they wouldve been born blind
    "Them whores put themself Out there,
    I know they ask for it, breasts all Out and Make up,
    Ive been beating my meat to her pic last 3 days and thats why I know she wants to fuck "
    "You must give me , bouhou, Becourse youve
    given others too, 5 at the same time, I dont live far"
    ..Mister, I would rather Fuck myself with
    Cactus in a burning car.
    Even I would deep throat a whole building
    complex
    You would still have
    no sex

    I see a whiny boy in the internet
    talking of whores
    He looks like an incel
    and Quite a bore
    All night long he dreams of orgies
    Where Big Boys thou never sent an invitation
    He stares at teens at the station
    full of aggression and frustration
    car parked at corners
    Everyone knows where his hand has been
    That dirty old perv has been seen
    In his youth some good hearted girl
    gave him some,Out of mercy,
    50 years later he still tells of it
    to the whole City
