The Spiral That Does Not Close
We began with a will that did not want a sword. We ended with a network that does not extinguish. Between them: a cosmos, a human, a method, a language, a self.

Beyond Juneteenth
JUNETEENTH June 19th as Juneteenth, a day commemorated for the announcement of freedom to the enslaved in Galveston, Texas, in 1865. But the deeper story behind that date — and the wider national timeline of emancipation — reveals a far more complex, state‑by‑state journey toward freedom. It is a story shaped by delayed enforcement, resistance by local authorities, and communities who already understood their liberation long before anyone arrived to make it “official.”

WHEN ANIMALS REIGN SUPREME
That's the preface to Karel Capek's novel, When Animals Reign Supreme, which perfectly encapsulates his ideas. In his work, Capek writes about a hypothetical scenario: the rise of a new salamander species just a few years after its arrival in the human world. His focus remains on the “reality” of the 1930s, the rise of fascism, the spark that ignited World War II, and the impending extinction of humanity. More than that, it serves as a prophecy for the future of humankind, a future that seems bleak if humanity remains consumed by greed, selfishness, bloodlust, and the illusion that humankind will forever stand at the top of the world.

Small Print
I don’t care much for alarmist claims, especially when they concern the right and wrong ways to enjoy culture, but it’s hard to deny a shift hasn’t occurred. The “Post-Literate” world seems to be one where text, as a source of information and entertainment, has been overtaken by audiovisual media; podcasts, videos, streams, VoD, and TikToks.
