  1. Tarot and the Lo-Teks

    Yesterday’s post was, obviously, about a new shop item on my ko-fi page. All the proceeds from my ko-fi page go toward web-hosting Sage Sips without ads, keeping the Substack paywall-free, and maybe generating a few donations for causes I care about (more about that in a later post.) I’m not going back into business. Handwritten Tarot readings are not a money-maker.

    Trust me, I’ve tried it before.

    I originally offered tangible, pen and paper Tarot readings years ago, when AI was the stuff of cyberpunk fiction – not anything anyone actually used in normal day-to-day life.

    I’ve always been a William Gibson fan, dating back to Neuromancer. I originally offered handwritten Tarot because it was cool and niche. Bringing back handwritten Tarot is more the Lo-Teks from Gibson’s short story turned Keeanu Reeves movie, Johnny Mnemonic.

    I never imagined that a person to person email with a digital photo would seem low-tech next to computer-generated art and writing, but here we are. Physical paper and handwriting seems like ancient, mysterious wizardshit by comparison.

    If you want a talking type of reading – eesy peesy. There are psychics by the dozens out there doing that and it is up to you to figure out if they are trustworthy or not. (The Tao of Finding a Psychic might help) As far as I know, there are only a handful of us working in the typed-word and email formats, and fewer still that do handwritten pen and ink readings.

    “A thought is powerful, the spoken word even more so, but the written word is the most powerful of all”

    Sallie Christensen, psychic and author

    I’m not going back into business, but I am offering these readings as a quiet rebellion against AI. This is my Lo-Tek Tarot.

    Handwritten Tarot is magical and powerful – arguably even more so than spoken in-person ones. This kind of Tarot can never be digitally replicated. My bad handwriting and cringy doodles show you they are 100% real, 100% HUMAN .

    Handwritten Tarot has all the advantages of any distance reading: You can’t unintentionally give body language cues. There are no leading questions, no stage mentalism, no tricks – these readings are pure spirit and intuition. No drama, no AI slop – just quiet wisdom in the ancient way of pen and ink writing.

    Please include your name, U.S. mailing address, and question for the reading with your order. If you don’t include a question or topic, no problem! I’ll automatically do an open style reading and let intuition lead the way.

    Sent folded into a standard #10 envelope, this Tarot reading is discreet and private. This is highly customized folk art with no refunds or exchanges. Available to USA mailing addresses ONLY.

    This nominal charge is only to cover the cost of paper, postage, driving to the post office and the extra effort that these take to create.

    Just like always, these readings are highly customized ephemeral folk art for entertainment and personal spritual enrichment, and do not predict the future. No refunds or exchanges or any of that other business-y stuff. Caveat emptor and whatnot.

    Order one from my ko-fi shop HERE if you are interested in giving it a try.

  3. A todo esto, vi hace poco #JohnnyMnemonic , que la vi de pequeña y no me enteré, y es bastante disfrutona. Con un Keanu Reeves menos experimentado, mucha imaginación #cyberpunk y un mensaje tristemente vigente.

    Y eso sí, una trama hetero metidísima con calzador.

    LOL. I have 512 GB micro SD card that i can stick into my ear. In some cases SciFi is underwhelming.

    In Ghana 🇬🇭 when posters can't be imported, local artists will bootleg them to the best of their abilities. Some often are more imaginative than the official studio releases.

    #JohnnyMnemonic (1995)
    A data courier, literally carrying a data package inside his head, must deliver it before he dies from the burden or is killed by the Yakuza.

  15. #JohnnyMnemonic: It looks like a full-service shop here. How are you on #BrainImplants? #SiliconImplants, #NeuralOverlays, #MemoryAugmentation?

    Spider: We don't get much of that out here in Newark, #JustJohnny. Kind of upscale for us, you know?

  18. "The Magnetic Dog Sisters were on the door that night, and I didn’t relish trying to get out past them if things didn’t work out. They were two meters tall and thin as greyhounds. One was black and the other white, but aside from that they were as nearly identical as cosmetic surgery could make them. They’d been lovers for years and were bad news in a tussle. I was never quite sure which one had originally been male."

  24. Had no idea that this existed, but there's a special black and white version of Johnny Mnemonic that was released a few years back? Just got the bluray recently and can't wait to check it out.

  25. To celebrate "Johnny Mnemonic" turning 29 years old recently, I'm posting about this classic CyberPunk themed film.

    Although interesting, it should be obvious that a thumbnail concealed laser whip that Shinji uses in could pose as much danger to its user as its intended target.

    Also the laser whip clearly inspired the monowire in Cyberpunk 2077.

    One of the most unintentionally (or intentionally) funny scenes is between Johnny and Ralfi. Udo Kier chews up the scene here, it's impossible he didn't see Johnny in the mirror before he looked away. Everyone's acting is completely over the top.

    Corporate grade encryption displayed in "Johnny Mnemonic" certainly took a different path then what we currently use in the real world.

  31. On this day 29 years ago in 1995, "Johnny Mnemonic" premiered.

    To celebrate, I'll be posting about this classic CyberPunk themed film over the next few days.

    Uploading 160 GB of data certainly looked a little different back when "Johnny Mnemonic" was first released. I guess this is what 2021 looked like in the far distant past of 1995.

  32. Just the fax, ma'am. Just the fax.

    #JohnnyMnemonic is set up in 2021. So even the past future turned past, yet FAX survived.

  33. I was today years old when I learned that #Chrissie #Hynde on the first #Pretenders album cover was the physical inspiration for the character of Molly Millions in @[email protected]'s #JohnnyMnemonic and #Neuromancer.

    Dang. Always knew I liked that girl. ...Wistfully from afar, of course.

  34. Hoy me miré este clásico cyberpunk de 1995, basado en una historia de William Gibson , quien también escribió el guión. Keanu Reeves antes de Matrix en Johnny Mnemonic
