hey everyone! i'm Seán, an interrelational artist currently living in the Salish Sea region ~ east of míqәn, beside maple & pine, near singing robins and Merlin's barrow.

i previously lived at sx̣ʷət̕č̕əlíéw̕txʷ with my partner Kate (~wingy), where we both also joined the Scuttleverse and met many lovely, inspiring butts, such as @glyph, @cblgh, & i'm sure others who've landed here @,,

i try to find creative ways of weaving together art, death, ecology, technology, and autonomy through various community projects & events. i also have an introspective art practice that ebbs and flows.

mostly, i make a lot of mistakes and do my best to learn from them.

feeling very honoured and happy to join merveilles.town. i've never given the fediverse a proper go, and haven't socially networked online much since wandering away from ssb several years ago (and shedding my old shell). i do spend time at special.fish though!

looking forward to meeting other townsfolk here and getting to know this region of the web better :^)

if i disappear for a while, i'm likely just resting and reorienting in my spider sanctuary 🕷️

#introduction #theLobby

Hello, Merveilles! I'm a dilettante programmer and salaryman webmaster living in Tokyo, Japan.

Free Software is important to me (I put Fedora on my ThinkPad). My favourite programming languages are Lisp and Smalltalk. I also like LaTeX and (parts of) the Web.

I'm recently rekindling an interest in photography, and enjoy taking long walks and train rides with a (rangefinder) camera.

I need hand tattoo ideas!!! I've been craving a new one and honestly I'm really not sure what to get. Right now my mind is stuck on a mouse cursor with trailing stars

Sometimes the crushing pull
That dark, stony mass
Lands unsubtly, suddenly
On my diaphragm.

The vacuum of space,
The searing volcanic heat
The numbness, the certain pull
and uncertain weight
that draws all the joy, like moisture,
from my heart.
and what in-stead
remains
crossed dread-ful, wilted limbs
- one thirsting for certainty,
the other for reassurance
and a few dry bones
hopeful
for an end,
that then, perhaps,
we might know
that we have fought long enough
to be good
And can rest
In peace.

so often lately, I brushed against something deep and true.
finding focus, again.
a find-ling latched on to the moment,
to real, as a live wire.

that is no god shrugging free
of the murk of the
complex,
(powerful and dark, in the murk)

but there may yet be one beneath. behind.
emerge-ed long before.
in, from, (fee? free) (with) the
simple.

a lurch, a moment.
stare at the real for so long, rather than staring at greed, power, control,
that odd, off, split light of a sick dream?
it looks the same from without
- the same kind of madness, to be sure -
(and so they have some of my own passing light and care to share)
but our simple madness
is the form and weight of unkind certainty,
- of truth and justice -
despite the world (of men) working to the contrary.

the eyes see further than the moment
when they touch the truth.
but it is so very hard to break with that beautiful, strange gaze.

wonders - do i really stim so much?
>> uses the camera to see what expression she's making, accidentally records herself wiggling all her face muscles around for a minute. stimming for a full minute.

mechanical fingers and manual digits.
english is too strange-ly-comb-ob-ulated a language.

#theLobby #cathosRambling (if you would like to block someone who maunders so loudly, publicly, & often??)

perhaps i might be then convinced
to give up on so public a-wanders and poetic stumblings on Main.

but then, you would-mite have to join me, in conversation, even briefly. and then to my shame. leave you tired of company as well.

for i do rather fancy a playful meeting, getting lost in conversation. and many is the time I've worn out my poor friends ear's and voices to no end. for though sometimes so quiet I be, i do love to meet in you someone good and beautiful and fun. i instinctively draw out pain and history, and this I best resist, for without con-sent it is venting or, worse.

Well, they'll find out soon."
