Prior to my current psychedelic drug experiences, I was a high-functioning consensus reality, draw inside the box boy. But my first understanding of the unity of all things was when, with the help of substances, I allowed a strange man with whom I had an almost telepathic connection to enter me and breed me in such an intense experience that a moment occurred when the physical and mental “I” – my most familiar person – was indistinguishable from this amazing being I had surrendered my body and mind to – the illusion of separateness that had evolved. With that came calm and ultimately pleasure for the notion that surrender of most forms isn’t a defeat but an achievement of deep courage and trust in another exceptional being. Now I’m permanently a part of the biology of any man I’ve had sex with, and he is part of me, and for all of that I am better.

I’m a Christian, and please don’t ask me to give it up. A few men have asked me if I would stop being a Christian in order to focus on them. While I understand an escort should provide his money’s worth, this is the only thing I won’t give up. When it’s about where I’m going to spend Eternity, I can’t take risks and end up being sentenced to eternal punishment in Hell when I kneel before the Lord on Judgment Day.

This is an object that needs a special sugardaddy. Object is in need of being emotionally changed to the level of mind body sense of existence and totally modified so that only the most extreme will want it. This means modifications that would not be appropriate for society. All openings would be stretched to be obscene. Were that to happen I would like to be able to use an object like this a good deal of the time.

Before my very eyes, this brat claimed my girlfriend with ferocious, animalistic lust seizing her, splitting her open, and fucking her raw with unrelenting cock until she sobbed and shuddered in helpless surrender. I remained transfixed, pulse hammering, my own arousal laced with exquisite jealousy as I watched her reduced to a dripping, quivering wreck impaled, stretched, and thoroughly used like the most depraved whore. When at last he had pumped her swollen cunt full to overflowing with hot, copious seed, I was compelled to my knees to lick every viscous strand from my her ruined, gaping slit tongue delving deep, swallowing the mingled flood of their debauchery in abject, humiliation while the taste of another boy’s triumph coated my throat.

Why are pretty insatiable slut boys always only in Warsaw and not in Wrocław or Legnica? We in the smaller cities need beautiful, slim young men for insane sex. We rural Polish gays don’t think sex is sex unless we scat, spit, piss, or puke in boys’ mouths.

Pimply, Caravaggio haired, catty fem boy who would have looked like heaven from a distance at 3 am in the street lights on Santa Monica Blvd. back in the 1980s — exactly my type. If you think of the exorbitant price as covering the time machine transportation costs, it’s a steal. Highlight: after a lengthy pounding his ass tastes like the gravy my grandma used to make. Lowpoint: If he ever cuts his hair, he’ll be lucky to get $50.

If he isn’t banned from this site I will be horrified.

Ideal for someone who does not expect or want their target to willingly enjoy sucking their cock (I guarantee you won’t get that out of him), because what truly gets them off is MAKING someone worship it, enjoying the confusion, alarm, fear, and disgust in their eyes, seeing and feeling their lips tremble, hearing them quietly and frantically whisper prayers to a god they long since stopped praying to, but who’s not listening now.

FYI he’s also a drug dealer. I score my stuff from him. He always maneuvers to get me to fuck him. And sometimes when he’s in the area he’ll ping, then come over just to take my cock for as long as I will let him, feeding me drugs continuously on his dime, including things I would not otherwise seek out like this [new?] DMT inhaled from a pen-sized dispenser that’s wildly hallucinogenic. A couple of times he “dropped by”, spent 4 or 5 hours here and then conveniently left his earbuds here and “had” to come back a couple of hours later to get them. And on that occasion he stayed all night long and the most of the next day. What amazes me is, he’s hot as hell at least in my mind. And there he is on my bed laying on his stomach, his ass chomping away on my bloated cock and handing me a fuckin loaded pipe. It’s just swell, but I have to be sure I have the schedule for him before I call.

p.s. Hey. ** _Black_Acrylic, Hey, Right, you managed to get the Sotos. I’m off to get the Dopplereffekt. Thanks! ** Charlie Zacks, Hi. Yeah, I need to get back in the habit of following your site, and the year is young. ** Adem Berbic, I’ll take your word for it on the meditation = LSD front. I love your ambition for your event, and more’s the pity that the Paris satellite didn’t work out. Other than maybe in ‘The Sluts’, I can’t remember, I think you could count the number of times that penises appear in my work on one hand. Not an expert. Words marked. And parked. ** laura w, You read a lot of great stuff. Pub dates be damned. Dice! You have dice, that’s so cool. That makes me want to collect dice. Are there dice collectors? There must be. Thanks, pal. I hope your week has cracked wide open. ** Jack Skelley, ‘Magician’ is a must. Wow, the wedding. Video? Surely. There’s a video of Chris’s and my wedding, but I don’t where it is. Chic is on June 30th. I’m so excited. I’ve never seen them. It’s gotta be a mover and shaker. ** Carsten, Hi. The Ken Jacobs is a collection of his writings, lectures and some interviews. Pierre Verger … no, I don’t think I know of him. I’ll look him up, obviously. I’ve never watched Anthony Bourdain’s show, just the doc about him. Life’s essential spark must be different for everyone, so it’s hard to conceptualise it for me. And I don’t know what mine is. I guess making things. ** Tosh Berman, Hi, Tosh. I’m happy you also love the My New Band Believe album. Might be my very favorite of this year so far. I read your substack thing about John Le Carré, and it made me want to read him, which is something since plotted books are almost never on my radar. Best day to you, sir. ** Steve, Clavicular’s moment in the sun seems like it’s passing, no? I’ll wait for the doc about him. Over the weekend … I had my weekly Movie Club meeting thing that I do with Zac, Michael Salerno and Ange Dargeant aka ‘Extra’. We watched Roy Andersson’s ‘A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Contemplating Existence’, which I’d already seen, and which is so, so, so great. I really love his films. Otherwise, RT may do another screen ingin Amsterdam, and I was mostly working on figuring that out. I hope yours paid off. Everyone, New ‘Radio Not Radio’ episode for you. ‘This one features DNA, Cocanha, Louise Huebner, Rump State, Ian Dury, Horse Lords, Tierra Whack, Sha Ray X DJ Haram, Suicidas, Downtown Boys, Flesh Eaters, Trim, Myaap, La Rvlfeuze, Genesis Owusu, Man, Eddy Current Suppression Ring, Kaya Conky/Ari Falçao/Christopher Luz/GP DA ZL, Bruk Rogers, DJ Screw, Abstract Tribe Unique, Ana Luia Caiano, Mark Jenkin, Ydrus, and Jeff Parker ETA IVTet’. Here. Thanks for your lists. Lots there for me to find and test out. ** Conor Hultman, Hi, Conor! How could I or anyone list the crucial things going on in current culture via the internet without naming Zona Motel. Its gravitational pull is major. It’s really nice of you to visit. And, yes, it was a real pleasure meeting you in NYC. Take care. ** Derek McCormack, Not as pinkly tickled as I, its recipient, was and am, I assure you, master. xo. ** Montse, Hey, hey, Montse! I contacted Xcèntric, and they never got back to me. Which is pretty much business as usual with most venues I’ve approached. I so hope everything is as right as rain can be with your mom. So stressful. Yes, Tracy is the legendary xTx. It’s a great novel. Cool about your Primavera score. Kneecap is coming here, and I’m debating. I’ve never seen Water from Your Eyes, but I really like them. New Boy Harsher, yeah, I just saw that. Whoop! Lots and lots of love to you and the X-man! ** Bill, Hi. So how was the gig by your high standards? Lovely lists, lots for me to make discoveries with. Thanks, B. ** DonW, It is the newest GbV as of right now, but you know Pollard is capable of releasing something even newer at any moment. I still haven’t seen ‘Sirat’. It’s ridiculous. I don’t like Yorgos Lanthimos’s films either so you’re not alone. The Headcoatees, wow. That’s a flash from the past.I didn’t know they were still extant. Huh, I’ll check that out. ** HaRpEr //, Hi. I managed to watch a screener of ‘Castration’ III thanks to the generous Louise. Very stellar lists you put together there. Kind of unimpeachable barring the ones I don’t know, but even then. ** Jay, Hi, J! Whoa, you have a capital J! I don’t know Mabe Fratti, but, obviously, I’ll check into it. Okay, now you’ve made dying much more appealing conceptually. Good job. ** Caesar, Hi, César! Or formerly César? I remember you, of course, and I’m happy to see you! I like every Lucrecia Martel film I’ve seen a lot. Her films are very well liked here in France. She seems to be here, or at least in Paris, all the time hosting screenings and doing master classes and stuff. Hm, I can’t exactly remember how the ‘Ugly Man’ translation came about. I think someone wrote to me and asked if they could, and I said yes, of course. It’s very cool. There’s a new Spanish translation of ‘Closer’? I know nothing about that. That would be good because the first Spanish edition of ‘Closer’ completely fucked the novel up by reformatting it so it would look like a conventional novel, and I was very angry about that and pretty much disowned it. So, I hope so. I don’t put my email address here anyone because doing that lead to some weird shit going on, but you can contact me on Instagram or Facebook, and I can give it to you there. Thank you, thank you! A really big hug back to you! ** politekid, Big O! Talk about so much to check out, haha. Your fave lists are always treasure maps. I just got a notice this morning that your book is now winging or locomotive-ing its way to me! Okay, let me get your lists on my desktop, and I’ll be on my way. Thank you, pal. ** Dev, Hi, Dev! Med school seems like it would be busyness incarnate, so totally understood. Here’s to the residency’s arrival. How nice that you read Anselm Hollo. People don’t talk very much about him anymore. What kind of book club would hate ‘Ice’?!? That’s outrageous! You deserve better. Thank you, sir. All the luck with everything, and I hope I’ll get to see you again before too long. ** Cletus Crow, Well, of course! Thank you so much for making sure I got a copy. It’s just wonderful. All respect! ** Laura, Hi, Laura! Thank you for risking the puking possibility to spill some brain matter here. I’m so, so sorry. ‘You Are Cursed’, oh my god, I spaced and forgot to put it in my list! I’ll go add it in a minute. Damn. Thank you for your faves. I still haven’t cottoned to Slayyter, but I think that’s my problem. I’ll retry. I hope you didn’t puke. Shit, keep coming out on top. xo. ** Uday, Hi. I think birds are my favorite non-human creatures, so I totally get it. I’ll go get a bead on those jungle babblers. Keep having extreme fun! ** Okay. Well, escorts for you today, of course. See you tomorrow.

Meditation = LSD = transcendental breeding, apparently. bakedjesus also does a pretty poetic job of describing the twelve-step recovery concept of surrender. And, speaking of bodily vocab, I’m happy to have been reminded of the magic of the word ‘tush.’ Mighty when used correctly.
Yeah, from the off I thought the usual template of three readings above a pub was out of the question. Not that there’s anything wrong with it, but to me it would have felt like an abdication of the stories themselves, thematically-emotionally-conceptually. All this stuff is just about trying to do some kind of justice to that. I don’t want that glut of whatever to be something that dies once it goes on the page because in their own ways all of the writers I look up to don’t let things die like that and the power starts there. Anyway, it’s all implicit, so I’ll be lucky if anyone picks up 0.1% of it — in a felt/intuitive way, not some po-faced analytical way — but I can hope.
James is pretty insistent that I only read the first half of the first one, on the grounds of selling more copies. On balance he’s probably right, but it feels like a shame given the back half of it really brings all these threads and thoughts and sentiments to a head.
You know me, I get through Eurostar tickets like you get through packs of Camels, so if there’s a Paris reading opportunity I’ll be there faster than you can say ‘unsustainable spending.’
There was the ‘Blood Tea and Red String’ screening yesterday. (Many thanks again to @Bill for radar-populating.) It really sings to its own tune. I was thinking a lot about the distancing effect from, uh, ‘physical animation’ – stop motion, puppets, whatever the right umbrella term is. Something about those specific ways of representing human actions has a very clear-eyed, zooming-out thing for me in a way that live action and ‘animated’ animation don’t. Whatever it is, I find it very moving.
Really useful resource, thanks for sharing.
Ha, the book club is a little on the normie side, for lack of a better term. I’m mostly in it for social reasons, but it’s fun. I figured Ice was your kind of book.
I think in my sleepiness I may have been unclear: residency is busier than med school, but 3rd year is the busiest part of med school. I’m working around 60 hrs a week right now, not counting studying, and the residents on my team are working closer to 80. Luckily residency is temporary.

Hi to hereforme and simple_edifice
And hey <3 from Crete
The only Roy Andersson film I have seen is A Swedish Love Story which I loved. I guess I must go further, it seems to be this deadly romantic early film of director like Turkish Delight or Badlands I really liked it though
I love Lucrecia Martel films so much! She's the best
I have a curiosity now how they did Closer to be in Spanish, I am sorry it made you so mad though not that I know Spanish
Happy for your second Amsterdam screening to happen and hoping you have more time there, well only if you want which I am sure you do
Have you ever seen the Kate Bush Efteling special? I saw parts of it again some days ago and led me to play her first album The Kick Inside on repeat for two days
I am currently hoping and sort of planning I will go to Amsterdam myself I won't even hope that it will coincide with RT screening because it prob won't I just wait until the time is now and happening hehe
Hi from crete
D: No official vid of Lily and Ash nuptials, but they had a photog and the pics are sweet. The Myth Lab audiobook finally out. Forget if i mentioned: Instead of me reading the chapters, it has international writers incl Sabrina, Kim Rosenfield, Chris Kraus, Daisy Lafarge etc. Hey, Get down at Chic. I saw a couple good shoegaze bands in a club over the weekend. Including very good Brazilian band Terra Plana. I like it when the sludge & noise layers & shifts into interesting guitar parts. Lawndale is playing Huntington Beach Surf Festival this Sunday… prior to which I shall see uuuuu. End up of update… xoxo Jack
At the weekend Scotland won their 1st game of the World Cup vs Haiti and they currently sit top of group C. Despite whatever misgivings one may have about its morals etc I’m finding this quite the spectacle. France play Senegal on Tuesday and it will be interesting to see how far they can go.
My immediate reaction to bakedjesus was… jesus. So.
I thought the gig went pretty well. It’s always great to play with my friend Chris on contrabass clarinet. The other acts were super interesting too. You probably know Andrea Parkins, who played solo electronics? Also a Berlin duo, with a sax player who uses cans as mutes to make great screeching/buzzing sounds, and his partner who manipulates magnets on the record heads of cassette players, and has various kitchen objects as resonators. The performance worked very well, apparently this is a long-term project. I really like how people here commit to unusual, specific sound-generation approaches and develop interesting practices and projects.
Can’t believe I’m heading home tomorrow. Sad, but I have a busy rest of June ahead.
Bill
The John Le Carré books I have read so far are a total surprise to me. I’m not sure if you will like his books. The reason I like his writing is that he’s more literary than a “spy thriller,” and it’s not the narration I find attractive, but his descriptive skills. I compared him to Proust (which is a dangerous thing to do) in that he makes you, the reader, feel the room, the weather, etc. I can never remember the plots in his novels! What I do recall is the dread, the alienation of his characters. And Le Carré comes from an interesting background regarding his father, who was the ultimate con-artist. Le Carré was raised in the world of lies, and therefore, he is a perfect spy of sorts. And going back to Proust, it is not the bigness of his novel that I find interesting but more of the fact that Proust can focus on such great detail on his subject matter. I think of him as more of a modernist than a writer from the 19th century or early 20th century. He’s experimental! Reading Le Carré and Proust is more of a psychedelic experience than anything else.
Hi Dennis,
wow really? why did hakim bey hate you so much? i feel like everyone is always beefing for no reason. i guess when i see him talk about stuff he is kind of cantankerous in general. you know it’s funny i said that the samuel beckett i read didn’t leave much of an impression on me but now i always go back to it when i’m out and about. like i read through ‘malone dies’ and now i feel like i keep reminding myself of the way he talks about his belongings when i pick up random trash from my walks haha. guess that’s how it is sometimes. i started reading tarot for fun, did you ever get a reading or perhaps visit a psychic? for some reason there’s a lot of psychics around me, kind of surprising that’s still a gig you can keep long-term. anyway, here’s a video about a dark ride i would love to go on. hope all is well, best wishes and all that.

The one and the only! I heard somewhere a while back that, to be understood correctly abroad, my name should be written as “Caesar,” like Julius. But I guess that wasn’t necessary based on your reply, so yes, César is fine (sometimes I just prefer “C”). It’s crazy what you’re telling me about Lucrecia, but it shouldn’t surprise me that much considering she’s always traveling. Now in Argentina we get to see her more because a book of her public speeches and conversations called “Un destino común” (A common destiny) was published. It’s really good, and I hope you get a good translation of it over there soon.
About the “Ugly Man” story being published, I think it was the Uruguayan author Ramiro Sanchiz who spoke with you since he’s in charge of the anthology. It’s surreal to see you in this language after so long and in an anthology that deals with this genre known as “weird.” And speaking of translations, I just took a closer look, and rather than a new translation, it’s a new edition from a different publisher (your Spanish publisher, the one we got to know you through here, was Anagrama, and now this new edition is from one called STIRNER)—but with the same translation! F*ck! That’s a shame, considering what you said (I noticed it when I started reading you officially in English with “Closer” and “Try”, which have the same translator. “Frisk” was the only fine, I think. The Dream Police too), so I definitely won’t be buying it!!
I follow you on Instagram too, so I’ll send you a message soon! Thank you so much for your kindness! Sending you love and a big hug. See you later <3
Well, Clavicular now says he’s “sobermaxxing.”
bakedjesus is today’s star! loveispriceless comes in second.
I had lunch today with my friend who’s moving to Ireland. We had a great time, but I felt rather melancholy afterwards. He’s leaving New York at the end of August, so I know how few chances remain to see him in person.
I didn’t get out much over the weekend, but I saw my friend perform on Saturday. He sang very well, but unfortunately, he played in a bar that’s not suited to live music – 90% of the crowd was there to watch and cheer on the Knicks – and the laptop with his backing tracks kept crashing, so it was a very frustrating experience for everyone.
hi Dennis!
nooo Hakim Bey was a hater? booo. his TAC thing is p important to my book actually, don’t hold it against me lol
i’ve spent an inordinate amount of minutes (like 2) trying to suss out whether the kid w late stage Maxwell Demon hair has ozempicface or just unassisted anorexia, think it’s the latter, hope he stops shrinking =(
i proudly didn’t puke in the end, but it’s a slimy fat fucking slug i’m dealing w fr
reckon you might have to imagine yourself as a bit of a dancer before Slayyter clicks, banging counts too obvi and is more attainable…
my relevant characters are def speaking bad Spanish diachrony-wise, i’ve decided to let it be for now bc it’s not like i can do much atm but yay i’m a competent language scientist, bro believe me bro etc =/
oh, our friends Hugo and Alice just let me read excerpts of their respective wips and they’re both v talented, i want to read more already ^_^
how did Spanish Closer suck…? =( i can’t imagine fucking up that one but i clearly wasn’t translating at the time of first edition lol maybe i should pick it up and fall into a grossness =D
<33
*TAZ lmfao bro’s work on cones was cool too i guess
Hey. Oh, interesting, I guess there aren’t so many penises in your works. A rectum is sort of an entry into something mysterious and impossible but a penis is just a ridiculous tube.
Lots of references to psychedelics today. Going straight from sucking a dick to hitting a DMT pipe is wild.
I recently fell down this YouTube rabbit hole about people’s bad trips, mostly on salvia and datura. Several people report entering a second world and living for decades or longer in a simulated life, but I’m hesitant to believe that. Terrifying nevertheless.
The story I’m working on is so difficult, but I’m pressing on and getting happier with it by the day.
I’m experimenting with small chunks of text. I think I realized a lot of people are more susceptible to strangeness when it’s broken up like that. Long paragraphs without line breaks, such as the ones I use a lot, seem to annoy a lot of people. Breaking it up like this is an interesting way of being extravagant. Whole paragraphs can just be a list of details or something, but then you can just go directly to the next paragraph without needing to explain what happens in between, so I’m interested in that.
yes dice!! they’re fun to collect even if you have no reason to collect them, i think. the best ones are colorful and translucent like rock candy.
thank you! i don’t really have anyone in my life who reads the same things that i do so i don’t often get a chance to talk about books. most of them read, like, romance and fantasy and that sort of book club fiction. this weekend i started last words from montmartre by qiu miaojin and am quite liking it so far- it reminds me a lot of journey to the edge of life by the criminally underrated tezer ozlu and probably my favorite book of last year. it’s kind of intimidating that the author of montmartre was the same age as me. it’s sometimes hard for me to believe that 26 is still young when it feels like the world is obsessed with like 21 year old wunderkinds.
this weekend was uneventful except for the usual brain bullshit! i read a lot and cast on a new knitting project which i haven’t done in a bit. hope yours was equally as uneventful unless you wanted it to be eventful. idk. knicks won, so that was something! also our mini heatwave broke, so that was even better.
see ya later!
hey hey, good morning, etc. gonna get this written earlier than usual.
missed the mine for yours due to a personal / real life situation, one i’m not super happy to talk about publicallly. so it goes. though, i’ve been dutifully taking down notes and looking up everything everyone posted to see if they interest me. so funnily enough, my escort comment was correct after all.
“I’m a Christian, and please don’t ask me to give it up.”, some tops, man. i’ve never been into the whole “oh you should only focus on me bullshit” a lot of people have. like even in like relationships. confuses me. glad Askmeinstead gets it though. “i’m probably available but who fucking knows” — yourwellwisher gets me. loveispriceless seems like a character you would write ha.
good list today, makes me wonder if i should finally collage together that one guestpost about the various escorts / online roleplayers i’ve seen on final fantasy xiv. even if i am a bit scared that the people would stumble on it and get all pissy about it. i’ll figure it out, (and get a temporary insta just to send it over).
i don’t mind pdfs, hell i prefer them over epubs / kindle formats, etc and honestly physical sometimes. it’s just a lot of presses i like are physical only, and i don’t have enough confidence / clout to send me over a pdf. so it goes. which is as much why i am grateful for calamari just letting me have the option to buy them.
nosebleed days, went with the mix and match, felt right and that’s what everyone agreed was the best approach. though, not a lot of conceptual talk from me today as i’m just going through each draft, trying to piece them together and just sucking on air staring at pages. thank you for your help though!
picked up tomodachi life, it’s been fun seeing my miis run around, doing shenanigans. and, soon enough i got 40 people running around. though, my switch is broken by this point that it is straining, it’s fun at least.
that should be all!
