i’ve been on the road for most of the last couple of weeks

I’ve been on the road for most of the past couple of weeks, which has disrupted my blogging routine a bit. During times like this, I tend to shift my focus to microblogging. Up until now, I’ve mainly stuck to Twitter (or X) and Instagram for that, but with all the shenanigans on X and the opaque algorithmic trickery on platforms like Instagram and Threads, I’ve been gravitating more toward Bluesky as my go-to microblogging platform.

If you’re already on Bluesky, let’s connect—my handle is @soulcruzer.bsky.social. If you’re not on the platform yet, I’d recommend giving it a shot. It’s a lot more social (at least for now), open-source, and doesn’t rely on the same algorithmic games that suppress posts because you’re not “one of the cool kids” or because you dared to include a link. Your posts are more likely to reach your actual circle of friends. For these reasons, Bluesky has become my favourite public microblogging space—second only to my own blog, of course.

Now, on to some updates. I have a backlog of posts I want to share here, including continuing The Mirror of Echoes mystery play and Mapping the Geography of the Psyche. This weekend, though, my focus is on finishing a Twine game I’ve been working on. The project serves a dual purpose: it’s a hypersigil for me personally, and it’s also laying the groundwork for a new philosophy I’m developing around the idea of cultivating personal power through chaos.

Looking ahead to 2025, my focus will be on exploring art as the last bastion of magick and championing chaos magick as a means of cultivating personal power. It’s going to be an exciting year, with a lot of experimentation, creativity, and deeper dives into these themes. Stay tuned!
