#Zine asks:
I'm also looking for some random content to fill margins (because zines are supposed to be full of wacky asides).
Things that would help:
1) serious pro-tips for defending against cyber attacks and other scams
2) dad jokes and weird fortunes & cool facts.
3) a few different "prayers" (in quotations only because they don't need to be from folks with a sincere faith in a higher power--just utterances calling for the world be to a little better than it currently is!).
Any takers?
Perfect! I'll put you down for Issue 2. :) These things always take a while to get off the ground to start, but once people have a concrete sense of expectations, it all tends to go more smoothly.
Looking forward to your presence in the next issue!
@MLClark Awesome.
@MLClark What is worse than raining cats and dogs? Hailing taxis! Hugs 🤗
🤣 I am never above stopping to giggle at a penis in a basket (mythologically taken from the notion that some women - a.k.a. witches - had the power to take away a man's cash and prizes and keep them in nests up in trees until the fellows asked nicely for them back. I wrote a piece about one of the formative medieval witch-trial texts a few months back, which included ridiculous stories to this end that sadly played a huge role in witchcraft trials back then. But the images are funny!)
i love to imagine those monks in their scriptoria doodling away happily.
I too enjoy imagining them happy at their work. :) I don't think I'd ever expect a penis to show up in your mandalas, though!
you just never know how libido will decide to manifest😂
Good point! I am definitely "higher" on that scale than many others with similar equipment, but that just means I enjoy "good vibrations" wherever I go. :) There are so many ways to represent that on a meditative chart!
This was the post, sadly behind paywall now. But the name of the manuscript is Malleus Maleficarum (by the sexually frustrated and routinely humiliated Heinrich Kramer), if you want some bonkers reading that unfortunately shaped the Western world!

yes, i know about that one😬☠️👎🏼
Yep. I was trying to link to it, but CoSo wouldn't work on any of my devices or browsers for a bit. Just getting access again now, but thanks for linking it first!
Still not working on Chrome, or letting me post from Opera. 🙃 Ah well.
As I was trying to post from PC:
"It's wild how many people in history could have used a good tutorial in everyday meditative practice, eh? Just think how much damage could have been avoided!"
@MLClark Can't do it last minute right now but if you need something next time in advance, lemme know.
