#writings — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #writings, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Hello. I'm @[email protected] in yet another Sisyphean task to find an alternative #Fediverse instance as Calckey is facing lots of Bad Gateways and, as of recently, an annoying influx of spam (which also ends up contributing to the Bad Gateways). Seems like Ruud (Calckey admin) didn't see my report regarding the latter, and this worries me as this means that server could be seen as "unmoderated" and defederated by other instances I interact with. I'm yet to see how federated is this Catodon instance, because other Misskey-like instances I tried in the past (such as Evil Social) had little to no federation with Lemmy instances.

    As this is my first post for this account, I'll try to describe the kind of content I'm used to post in the next paragraphs (while also testing how similar this instance is to the Calckey instance I'm used to).

    I often post my
    #digitaldrawings and other kinds of #occult #art centered on my actual beliefs. My #artistic expressions, which mostly stems from actual #gnosis, sometimes manifest as #poetry and/or #Blender #3dmodeling scenarios and/or #memes and/or #code (because I'm also a #dev who codes in several #programming languages, including #javascript, #ruby and #python, and I use #arch #linux, btw). Many of my artistic expressions, particularly my #drawings and my #writings, are NSFW and will be labeled as so. Oh, sometimes I do ancient writing, too, including actual attempts on Sumerian texts (based on actual, available Sumerian Lexicons). And I sometimes do #steganography as well (I'm quite fond of things such as #math #puzzles and hidden messages; and, no, this post has no hidden message, I'm quite in a mental budget here). I'm a detail-oriented person, as you may notice from this post alone.

    As for my beliefs, I have a syncretic worship for
    #Lilith Who, I believe, has the same cosmic principle that from #Ereshkigal, #Kali, #Hecate, #Pombagiras (esp. Dama da Noite and Rosa Caveira), among many other names across belief systems, as my syncretism is based on several belief systems such as #Thelema, #Luciferianism, #Gnosticism, #Hermeticism, #Sumerian, #Egyptian, #Quimbanda and others. I also believe in other entities, not with the same worshiping, but with similar respect for #Lucifer, #Baphomet and #Stolas (I don't agree with the Goetian approach of constrained summoning, for Stolas and other Daemons are cosmic teachers who deserve our due respect).

    I've been hyper-fixated on
    #owls, especially some #owl species such as Athene cunicularia (burrowing owls), _Bubo ascalaphus (Pharaoh Eagle-owl), because owls are one of the main theophanic manifestations of the #goddess. See the taxonomic binomials? Yes, I often do this bizarre intertwining between the religious and the scientific, because I don't believe in siloed knowledge.

    I'm
    #Brazilian and some of my posts will be in #portuguese, sometimes alongside English text, tal como estou fazendo nesse parágrafo.

    I'm likely
    #neurodivergent and #audhd (albeit undiagnosed), hence why my posts (including this one I'm composing) is so prolifically lengthy and mixing concepts/skills so disparate, for my mind is always agitated and restless.

    I'm mostly
    #anarchist and I don't believe humanity is the only intelligent species on this Pale Blue Dot, for there are countless other species such as corvids (esp. New Caledonian crows; I believe crows and ravens as manifestations of Lucifer just like owls are manifestations of Lilith) who are as intelligent (if not more) as us Homo sapiens.

    I'm mostly
    #nihilist and #pessimist with certain inspiration from philosophers such as Philipp Mainländer. I may sound depressive (do I sound this way in this post? It doesn't seem so) because I am depressive since my childhood and, yes, I tried mental health care to no avail (psychiatrists can't understand, for example, how #Demiurge and his archons sucks and how the Goddess is our true cosmic Mother).

    That's mostly me. "Mostly" because I'm not really able to fit labels or tribes. I don't quite belong. I really liked the 5000 char limit from this instance.

  2. "#RavKook’s exceptionalism lies in the fact that his ideas remain relevant even in 2026, reinforcing the impact noted above.

    This enduring influence is especially evident in his #writings, which present unique challenges in #translation. Anyone who has used a Soncino translation of the #Talmud knows that translation can leave one with still a long way to go in figuring out the meaning of the original text.

    #Rabbi #AryehSklar has addressed this challenge in Rav Kook’s Guide for Today’s Perplexed (#KodeshPress). More than just a translation, #Sklar’s edition includes extensive footnotes to fill in many gaps, adding essential details and context not apparent in the original text.

    Adding further depth to the work, the #book itself has a fascinating history. It remained an unpublished #manuscript for more than a century before #Rabbi #ShacharRachmani released it in full in 2014 as For the Perplexed of the Generation (LeNevuchei haDor)."

  7. It’s not silence, and it’s not solitude… It’s everything we never managed to say… It’s every moment of happiness spent without you… And most of all, it’s that closeness, that deep sense of comfort and completeness I felt only when you were near—something I can neither explain nor find with anyone else…

    I’ve overcome everything but this…

  8. I long dreamed you would be my spring, chasing away—through the colors of your desire—the vast, intense monochrome winter in which I wandered… But it was I, becoming my own enchanted season, filled with the sap of “I am,” “thank you,” and “I love,” who made new leaves of multicolored joy sprout upon the bare branches of my days, melting the snow of the past…

  10. A quotation from Ambrose Bierce

    SCRIPTURES, n. The sacred books of our holy religion, as distinguished from the false and profane writings on which all other faiths are based.

    Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914?) American writer and journalist
    “Scriptures,” The Devil’s Dictionary (1911)

  11. CW: Mentions of politics

    Would anyone be interested if I ever made a Substack account for my writing? It'd be for shits and giggles basically, I don't wanna feel obligated to write articles all the time. I'd probably write about politics and possibly esotericism. All of my articles would be free unless I get good traction on there.

    For more background into my politics, I'm an independent from the US with a slight left lean. I'm also a bi AuDHD woman, so I'm able to bring a healthy dose of diversity into what I do! I think universal healthcare, inflation and privacy are the biggest issues in the US currently. That said, I'm also very passionate about neurodivergent advocacy and acceptance. I think neurodivergence is the biggest DEI issue that few talk about.

  12. Across All Those Emptied Lines, Chapter 7: The Chateau

    Well. Look what woke up. Hi, writing.

    Thanks for your patience, everyone. You may still need more of it. But I do have chapters 8 and 9, at least in rough form.
