A journey to the center of LA's multi-dimensional, crystal-powered, alien and lizard community. Plus recs for Hanif Abdurraqib on Octavia Butler, Eli Grober satire, and an immigration update.
Somehow reading about the LA extraterrestrial convention and rabbit hole was comforting to me. Wacky people that make paper mache eggs and try to sell numerology seem innocent and non- threatening in this time of proud boys and Nazi sympathizers who are shredding democracy. I digress. Yes, would love to see more pics and more stories of this convention. Once I happened upon a “plush” convention where everyone was dressed in animal costumes. The passion was palpable. Oh to believe!!!! Thanks for bringing innocence back.
Oh wow, the plush convention with palpable passion sounds like an experience!! I do think some of these people were innocent and non-threatening but I think there were some darker threads too, unfortunately... But I agree that to have a little break is nice!
Put us in The Egg!!!!
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR

I need a bonus post. I'm seeing far too many triangles.
WATCH OUT FOR THE TRIANGLES!
Ok, the votes are decisively in favor of a bonus post! I'm on it.
