The letter /a/ as labyrinth … Language as suitcase … Text as (literal) compass … “Religious” (book) as immersion … Etymology as space/time travel … The un-thinging of things … Does our writing change the way we experience/ translate the world?

I’m making a booklet.
It’s gonna be an extension of this page.
I am still baffled how people become so into airing their “feelings” and making their diaries public. It’s weird to me. I never liked keeping a journal. So I never did. The thought of being like “I feel like [this] today” and waiting to here a bunch of strangers confirm it is weird to me. SOOOOOO weird. I just don’t get it. In a way I’m doing it right now. WEIRD.
Aliens would definitely look at it as a sign of the alienation overall society feels. Throw out a net. Screaming out the window: Does anyone else feel like I do!?
Or is it a backlash against concrete/non-linear poetics to have cyberspace flooded with base confessionalism?
Eee gads.
In either case… I’m moving over into hard copy print matter, cause tactile is the only tile.
It’s gonna be chant down babylon stuff with a heap the world is an anarchic non-thing exploding in our faces while fascists try to kill you slowly with chemical foods type of thing.
If you want it when it’s done (a few weeks for issue one) get me your address.
Roughly 20 pages of quick read and imagery.

Dude….A real fucking zine trade. I can’t tell you how pathetically excited I am. I feel like it’s 1997 again

(FLASHBACK)
When I was, hmmm, 15 or 16, I put out one issue of a zine I called “Always Mindful.” I was reading Thich Nhat Hanh at the time. Something on Buddhism, and interviews with some bands etc. Local noise makers Baxter, plus Glide 9, and hmmm… can’t remember.The second issue never came out though I have the entire master copy ready to go. Iterview with Shelter. I THINK. Definitely an interview with Baby Gopal. Hmmm.. can’t remember the rest. Maybe Prema? No. They came out later I think.
Anyway, this new one doesn’t have any bands, but I’m still going to make it available for trade like the old days. So if you make a zine, we can trade.
It IS exciting.
