new by me: I write about renee vivien and natalie barney, two of the writers and women I most deeply adore. their art, their tragic love, myth vs reality, and lesbianism in the belle epoque alicemaz.substack.com/p/from-paris...

first time in singapore: wow automated immigration is amazing I love the panopticon now second time in singapore: come on stupid machine... why don't you recognize my face this time... is it because I cut my hair...

I kind of like the fact that instead of just dying it degrades to text-only. feels like someone turned off the lights

At first the bluesky was designed as a.. perfect website.. the feeds didn't glitch out.. every post was funny & high effort.. there was no inscrutable drama or 'main character's it was a disaster. which is why the bluesky was redesigned to this.. 2012 twitter.. the peak of your civilization

simple from here: twitter rebrands to x, three years elapse, the trademark is deemed abandoned, bluesky rebrands to twitter

I saw all three of them today (one picked up my furniture one works at the self-storage place and one at the burger bar I met him at) I am absolutely dadmaxxing

傾国傾城 🥵🥴😵‍💫😖

after however many years of being avowedly non-ideological, I'm looking forward to being accused of carrying water for some particular ideology and being able to reply "actually I'm a confucian" and link to substack posts explaining exactly the kind of confucian I am

I want to slowly plunge my hand into this like a sack of dry beans

I remember a month or two ago being disappointed the site was too hugboxxy but now I see we've gone full lord of the flies

it's a shame seattle is so boring because it is definitely the most beautiful place I've lived

a guest brought fruit over last night for mahjong night and I think I'm fruitpilled now. I never respected fruit but I think it's good now

every universe has its kwisatz haderach but some are less interesting than others

threads might coexist with twitter/bluesky but it will never kill either because it's targeted at normies and all their posts are boring and the mods are pussies

new by me: "toward a system of neo-xunism." I summarize the philosophy of xunzi, and explain how I think it can form the basis of a contemporary ruling ideology in line with @meaningness.bsky.social's metarational framework https://alicemaz.substack.com/p/toward-a-system-of-neo-xunism

I normally ignore sticker shock but every time I look at seattle to bangkok flight price I think "once I go I'm not coming back for a long time"

oh god I lost a lot more strength in asia than I ever have before, I need to start lifting regularly again I feel so weak 😔

I made my famous tort soup yesterday

I can make bacon in the toaster oven... this changes everything...

also I've have doms for three days after squatting less than a plate 3x5 I'm a disgrace to my ancestors

I've been sleeping at 2 but waking up at 8 lately so I decided my body wants to wake up at 8 and maybe I should sleep at 12. slept at 12. woke up at 5. what the fuck dude

you know what? fuck you *posts red sky on bluesky*
