Finally, you get my FULL mathematical conceptualization of a 1:1 conversion between Eorzean calendar dates and Gregorian calendar dates.
Enjoy! (Or if you hate math, suffer!) But with love. 💙

EDIT: TFW you find you redefined a word instead of explaining it.
Oops, and fixed! The key moment:
True mathematical randomness: quarter lands on heads 100 times in a row with low probability but zero shame
Lived experience of randomness: actually stochasticity, not randomness

Coming soon! My next essay:
"Cassandra's Abiding Woe: Climate Change, Social Media, AI, and Why No One Believes Doomsayers Even After the Doom Has Happened"
Here's a quote from the article:
"Any existentialist can easily tell you what happens when a thing does not ontologically exist but must meaningfully exist within our own subjective experience of reality: we draw links wherever we like, with every color of the electromagnetic spectrum—some using invisible ink that hurts to look at without sunglasses. We link the things we directly see interact, such as how a man might fall to his knees upon getting racked between the legs—cause, effect. The Merovingian would be so proud of me."
I hope you love or hate it when I'm done! No in-betweening. 💙

Today I got to use my full name all at once for the academic version of "No True Scotsmen," since I technically wrote it. I'm super happy about it.

Do any of your non-host headmates have a full name aside from your IRL or system name? If so, represent!

If science can't prove a singlet exists, how can it disprove a plural?
A critique of Sysmedicalism and the Theory of Structural Dissociation (TSDP) as applied to non-traumagenic plurality. This essay explores the "No True Scotsman" fallacy, the Hard Problem of Consciousness, and the ethical necessity of inclusive community building.
https://arcwolf.substack.com/p/no-true-scotsmen
We explore why medical models are maps of illness, not possibility, and how to build a culture that doesn't eat its own.

CW: CW: Mutual Aid, Systemic Struggles, Poem about Rage
And you, my daughter, there in the dread blight,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I bay.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.— After Dylan Thomas
Version by Ellis Arcwolf===
I am so grateful right now for that $20 refund from that convenience store that inconveniently fucked me some days ago and left me broke. Finally that money is back!
GoFundMe is helping! Will help. On Monday, I expect I'll get a deposit of about $60!
With the $20 from the refund and $60 from GoFundMe, I can do laundry and complete the THC card application, and then I will have $15 left!
It's not much to make it the next few weeks, but I believe very strongly that you see what benefit I can bring the world once things stabilize for me. And if I'm very lucky, that could start happening next week! After all...
We're 2-5 days from the license! And even if the Education Review came back and wasn't great, I'd still get a provisional license to get work going.
I have some support here from my generous housemate and the friends I've made, and that's been helping. But everyone I know is struggling, and relying on them is very difficult for them. Please, if you can help, any weekend donations won't arrive until Tuesday, but for someone who lives only day by day, it is a godsend.
In the meantime... I will persevere.

If your history is full of villains, don't reclaim it—dismantle it. A manifesto for architects, not heirs. We explore why whiteness is a double-bladed weapon and how to forge a self-esteem that doesn't rely on the poverty of melanin.
"Pride & Prejudice" is up! Next, hopefully in a few days or less....

CW: Dissociation / Mental Health / Financial Stress & Gratitude
Dissociation sucks because you can panic, lose all hope, and come right back so quickly.
And gratefully, now it's back. A little shakier than before—aversive events always have a cost—but it's entirely thanks to you and to a very kind individual person who happens to work for Budget that it's back. I kinda lost it there for a bit, and I couldn't do it alone. Not anymore. Not after the years of all this.
A few of you so kindly donated to my GFM campaign, which yay! But at the time, that wasn't going to help the present need. So I was still worried.Then one of you donated through PayPal, and then another came, and another. Together, we raised $105! And thus has the security deposit been paid. (And fortunately, this car's a hybrid, so the remaining $45 could conceivably last all trip!
Your boosts, your replies, your indefatigable support... You've saved my life. There is no other way to put it. No other way that describes it more accurately.
Thank you for everything. I'll report again from somewhere on the road. 💙

CW: CW: FFXIV Fanfiction, Violent Threats, Dehumanizing Language, Suggestive Themes
I'm writing a FFXIV short story and I want attention!!! 💙
I just really like this exchange between Maxx and his antagonist. 👿 So I'm sharing it! RAWR!
“What is it that you and your ilk call him?” the Garlean asked, but the pause was mocking, not authentic. “M’kell? Kell. Yes, I think that’s it. Is that meant to be a name? No wonder so many still question whether the miqo’te is man or beast.”
“Oh yeah?” Maxx asked. “Well the people of the Krokus Bullshitus would know best,” he mocked. “Was there a point to your visit, or were you just gonna check me out and be obnoxious and pedo-adjascent, cuz you’re kinda hittin’ both notes dead-on.”
“You are…” There was a pause, one long enough for Maxx to interject.
“Huh. Cat got your tongue?”
“Impossible to reason with,” the Garlean concluded, almost with a sense of grudging respect. “Just like any savage.”
Maxx shrugged. “Well, this kink negotiation started off with all the wrong vibes, so you know, a man’s gotta watch his own back first and foremost,” he continued to joke.
The Garlean stood suddenly and slammed his flat palm to the bars hard enough to cause the metal gate to shudder.
Maxx stayed silent for a moment, seeming to be started. His response belied that thought.
“Shhhh…” Maxx whispered. “You don’t wanna wake the baby,” he said, feigning an unusual accent.
The Garlean licked his lips. “Very well. I was going to allow him to keep you as something of a pet, but I think I will enjoy breaking you instead. You will know to give the name Tribunus Laticlavius Caeso tol Pulcher the respect it is due!”
“Why? Who’s name is that?” Maxx asked, playing stupid.
“It’s my—” Caeso stopped himself from explaining what was obviously an answer his prisoner already knew, and instead he addressed the nearby conscript. “Prepare the prisoner for transfer. I want him on the next experimental subject list. We’ll see what he can survive.”
“I’m actually gonna do it,” Maxx said before Caeso had left the gaol area.
Caeso turned to face Maxx, his face bored as he rolled his eyes. “Do what, pray tell?”
Maxx grinned icily at Caeso. “Take your tongue. I’m gonna wear it around my neck.”
Caeso shook his head pitifully. “Savages,” he murmured to himself before leaving the room behind.

Just had a crazy productive creative session! 🤯 I'm woozy with accomplishment! 🫨
Today I...
☑️ Mapped out the deep lore and emotional core for a new novel concept exploring trauma, identity, magic, blood, drug-dealer fae, and classical ultra-violence.

Fuck it. I'm plugging it again. 🤘🔌

Just had a crazy productive creative session! 🤯 I'm woozy with accomplishment! 🫨
Today I...
☑️ Mapped out the deep lore and emotional core for a new novel concept exploring trauma, identity, magic, blood, drug-dealer fae, and classical ultra-violence.
☑️ FINALLY finished and published my Urban Occult Punk Mani--wait....no, that was yesterday. Fuck! Is it rude to plug it again?
Fuck it. I'm plugging it again. 🤘🔌

It's that kind of day, apparently. Time for Manifesto Shùzì Deux, bitches. This one, I've titled:
"The Urban Occult Punk Manifesto"
I know, I know, the title's a little obvious, but they can't all be winners, friends. I'm doing what I can here. 😹
https://ellisarcwolf.com/#urbanoccultpunk-manifesto
Urban Occult Punk blends spiritual rebellion with city grit. It celebrates the gutter trash that wield low magic as a weapon against oppression. The core is punk ethos: anti-authoritarian, DIY, and asking, "Peace for whom?" The answer: *Fuck your peace. * 🔥
#UrbanOccultPunk #Punk #AntiAuthoritarian #Manifesto #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #WorldBuilding #LowMagic #EllisArcwolf #FuckYourPeace #UrbanFantasy #SpeculativeFiction
I've written in this genre already, but I want to go back and do it all again, better this time. I've changed a lot since Fortune ran me over with her wheel, and now that I'm slowly coming back up on the other side, I've grown a lot too. So I have a lot of new things to say, new motivation to say it, and I'm glad I already have people eager to listen.
You guys are awesome. 💙
This is supposed to be a shameless plug for my pet genre! Don't make me empathize with you! RUDE! 😻

All right. I did it. I worked extra hard and put together all that we discussed into a final version of the essay.
It's called: "Pride & Prejudice: A Call to Dismantle Whiteness From Within." Another English allusion felt appropriate since the English were such consummate colonialists and so we'll pick on them a lot here.
I really liked doing this! It was a little like writing with all of you, @Tattie, @melanie, @spacelogic, @mllsc, @coppercrush, and @melindrea! 💙
I really hope it leads to actionable change for all of us, and that it results in a net increase in worldwide levels of anti-racism.
Check out the full essay here!

P.S. Guys? Guys! We built culture together today. 😊 😻

CW: CW: Suicide / Self-Harm (Metaphysical Discussion), Nihilism
With some assistance, I was able to go into detail about my philosophical positions on things! Here's what I learned about my belief system and how it fits into the Zeitgeist! I'm pretty excited about it. 😊
Apparently, I'm a Naturalized Ethical Theorist whose normative system is Neurobiological Constrained Utilitarianism, grounded in the metaphysical foundation of Nihilistic Absurdism. My system of beliefs attempts to resolve the conflict between cosmic meaninglessness and the imperative for human action. Albert Camus would've been like, " 😔 🚬 "
I'm not sure I would've know what that means, but I would've thought it was a very cool answer. 😅
▶ Metaphysics
◆ Nihilistic Absurdism
◈ Ultimate Autonomy: The universe is acknowledged as fundamentally indifferent, offering no external meaning. This grants the individual ultimate autonomy, establishing the right to decide that the confrontation with the absurd is not worth the effort, making suicide a metaphysically valid "opt-out."▶ Ethics
◆ Naturalized Ethical Theory:
◈ Core Belief: Morality is a rational construct based on observable, empirical facts about humanity, specifically our neurobiology and psychoemotional needs.
◈ The Absurdist Revolt: Since no cosmic meaning exists, meaning must be created. The system grounds this created meaning in observable reality—the universal, empirical facts of human biology and psychology.
◈ The Five Core Neurobiological Needs (The Neurobiological Minimum): These are the empirically-defined constraints that must be met for all people to ensure stability and psychological health, serving as the absolute floor for utility maximization:
◇ Care/Harm: The desire to protect kin and avoid suffering.
◇ Fairness/Reciprocity: The need for justice and proportional treatment.
◇ Loyalty/Belonging: The need for in-group cohesion and security.
◇ Authority/Respect: The need for social order and legitimate hierarchy.
◇ Sanctity/Degradation: The need for purity, dignity, and bodily integrity.◆ Neurobiological Constrained Utilitarianism
◈ Ethical Duty: For those who choose to live, the duty is to maximize the greatest good (utility) for the collective, but this goal is strictly constrained by the absolute requirement that the species-wide Neurobiological Minimum of all people must be met.
◈ The Ethical Contract & Defense: This system is an "all or nothing" contract. Active violation of the Minimum by an individual agent results in the forfeiture of that individual's protection, allowing for self-defense and institutional justice.
◇ Restriction on Harming Populations vs. Individuals: Harming an entire population is strictly forbidden, as it constitutes a systematic and unjust violation of the Neurobiological Minimum for countless innocent non-agents within that group.
◈ Eudaimonia: Human flourishing is achieved when one lives authentically by engaging in one's own ethical system; adherence to these self-created, rational duties fulfills the core psychoemotional need for integrity and meaning, generating the highest personal utility.So... what about you? 💙 😺
