iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

hey do you ever feel like you are stuck on a kind of cultural wheel of samsara whereby the same conversations keep happening on an endless loop, the same ideas ebbing and flowing in our shared consciousness without any hope of resolution or progress

for all the incalculable loss we have seen and will probably continue to see, I really believe that we have it in us to claw our way back from where we are.

conversely, I think about the US English names for music notation and find myself parched for some fucking whimsy (i am joking; i am not actually mad about music notation)

on a fun journey of trying to assess whether a recurring problem I seem to have is a problem with me or a problem with circumstances that simply won't quit. suspect, increasingly, that the answer is "both"? which is not ideal but at least isn't an unequivocal "no, it's definitely you"

a poem called 'midvinterblot by carl larsson, 1915'

midvinterblot by carl larsson, 1915

In the disaster year, in the famine
foreshadow, for all the questions in
the air, only one still haunts me: Is there
Is there life out there in Oakland
There In Oakland California or still
The Bay or after the Bay or after Portland
or after the chaz after Toronto after Brooklyn
Is there life in Oakland California
Is there life after the weekend even
if it never dies, is there life in the squat
even if it never dies, is there life in the
scene even if it never dies is there
Life in the Castro or in Greenwich
Village or life in the tunnels beneath
Las Vegas where holdout soldiers
make a final stand for demon dope
Is anyone there for those gay people
on my phone are they getting enough
and can they get by, can we cut them
a break or can we know if they die
or if they live at the end of it all
when the shouting is done and the
rumors go to mill can we know if
they die or do we need to ask some
soft machine or hard-eyed actress
Is there life out there in Oakland
Still in Oakland California

a friend from Halifax asked me for advice on sustaining a LDR while waiting for visa/immigration stuff to move, and I had to genuinely think about how I coped, which is to say spending too much money on flights and desperately trying not to be as forlorn as I was

how about some good news: new cat just dropped!!!!

a photo of a small, spotted wild cat, with orange fur and brown circular markings, staring up with big golden eyes.

Meet the First New Cat Species Discovered in 100 Years

A small, spotted tiger cat from Bolivia may just be the beginning of a wave of new small cat species.

This 10-year-old male tiger cat is the first of his species (named Leopardus tilcayo) known to science. He is approximately 18 inches from head to end of body and weighs only 3 pounds, making him smaller than the average domestic cat. This video was captured at the Senda Verde Animal Refuge in Bolivia’s Yungas region, where he currently resides.

for two months, I've been flying drones over Flock cameras to situation them in space and geography; I even got my commercial drone license in order to do it. I'd like to share this project with you all: it's called Records Of Enemy Surveillance: recordsofenemysurveillance.com

image of a residential intersection with one red car driving across it and a baseball field in the background

black and white dithered image of two red squares around the flock cameras in the previous image, on either side of the intersection

a thing I learned years after the fact – and this was in the UK! – is that my mother had to give my father a very stern talking-to after 9/11 because he was reluctant to let me keep seeing my best friend, a Sikh. the derangement around this was widespread and irrational.
