SUBmissive curses // STACK of sick, social spells

About this Substack

Youโ€™ll get used to it, the sickly smell of iron and milkโ€”a stench of something small growing at the borders of story and flesh. It wonโ€™t be easy to love, this stack-in-the-making. Here, irritation and information will smoulder side by side. Myth and mutiny will parent a changelingโ€™s epistemology: doubt (but with fangs)โ€”something akin to therapy for a recovering academic.

I am speculating. Perhaps, this will be nothing more than a bundle of spells and marginalia folded into ordinary daysโ€”fevered fragments, philosophical nightmares, and footnotes to my own premonitions of collapse. Certainly, itโ€™ll all feel less like โ€œabracadabraโ€ and more like โ€œcitation as incantation.โ€ Still, each post will hunger for a community with both heart and hands. Each post will be an invitation to (get in) touch, to conspire, to gather around something socially contagiousโ€”whatever makes the child of consensus-reality speak in soft betrayals, in submissive maledictions that twist inside powerโ€™s mouth.

Iโ€™ll keep speculating. My obsessive brain will keep ruminating. And meanwhile, some ill-scented thing sprouting between folktales and frontlines will get dangerously organized. You see, the changelingโ€™s survival isnโ€™t triumph so much as ongoing misattunementโ€”a posture of being out of sync until the world itself begins to flicker, growl and glitter.

This is a spell. Keep it in mind, or leave it in an old doorway. You could also subscribe and stay connected.
