I'm looking for readers for both @FracturedLit & @uncharted_mag_. It's a laidback way to get involved with a literary magazine, and it will help level up your writing! We ask for 2-4 hours of volunteer reading each week, but I'm flexible with vacations and other commitments.

There's too much talent trapped in poverty and too much mediocrity funded.

The great Portuguese writer António Lobo Antunes GCSE has passed away at the age of 83.

Antunes died in Lisbon, the city where he was born, the site of his psychiatric practice, and the setting for many of his 30+ works.

Portugal has declared a national day of mourning.

Rest in peace Antonio Lobo Antunes, one of the best to ever do it

“We’re back in pulp fiction wonderland, the fleeting apocalyptic allusions having been yoinked offstage by a vaudeville hook from the wings.” New online: Mark Iosifescu on Thomas Pynchon’s SHADOW TICKET.

Met a guy who said he's had contact with Mantids for a long time, probably 15 years or so. During sleep paralysis, Ayahuasca / DMT journeys, meditation retreats and spontaneously. Here are some fast facts according to him (taking what he says at face value):

* The praying mantis in this world is a morphogenetic extension of the superorganism that is the mantids state of consciousness / realm.

* He has an implant in his hand that he got during an abduction in a sleep paralysis, and it left a small but visible scar he showed me. Said his hand never felt the same since and feels enhanced somehow.

* While having a toothache he smoked some DMT and the mantids took him to an operation room, put a big tube into his mouth, in which colorful balls rolled (think popping boba pearls) which then dissolved in his mouth and delivered glowing neon liquid that completely fixed his toothache and dental issue.

* Their consciousness is somehow related to the center of the sun and solar flairs. Unclear how, but definitely a connection here.

* He says the mantids always find him somehow in new locations. There a mantis insect typically knocks on his door and says hi to him wherever he goes (where this is even possible)

* They are a hyper intelligent hyper technological incredibly advanced, old, wise, insectoid, ultra telepathic, hive-mind yet focused and coherent, super consciousness of sorts.

* They have a sense of humor and often present themselves as wearing lab coats to make you giggle.

* They are scientists, geneticists, timeline weavers, have access to time control, have fused matter and consciousness.

* They are way more advanced than the greys, Nordics, and reptilians. On another realm of consciousness altogether.

* There are factions within them, but the biggest contingent by far is benevolent and does genetic experiments across many planets, maybe galaxies.

* We are small children to them.

* They are tasked with directing life towards hypersentience. Other advanced species maybe help with other evolutionary steps. And the full mantid help will come down the line when we are ready. Right now they're just gently steering us and preparing us for a big transition in the future.

* They are detached yet compassionate. Very zen like yet also very curious and humorous. But not human humor. Insectoid humor.
