Title: Requesting Submissions for Intermittens 11: 'Post-truth and hyperbelief'
Post by: Cramulus on January 03, 2021, 03:10:32 PM
posted on behalf of the r/Discordian CoreDump


Calling all creative spags!

We're putting together yet another Intermittens (a web-published magazine of Eristic a-musings), and we could use your help to do it!  The theme this time is 'Post-truth and hyperbelief: What happens when truth stops caring about Truth?'.  Send submissions to

intermittens.submissions@protonmail.com or find us on discord: https://discord.gg/fyD675ZEb7

Submission deadline is 15 Chaos 3187 (15 January 2021). Late submissions may be accepted, but don't count on it!

All work must be released under a CC-BY-SA 4.0 license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/).

Proudly sponsored by the House of the Setting Podge (Formerly House of the Rising Hodge, since aquired.)







(you may be asking -- wasn't there an issue 11 of Intermittens already? Yes, but it was published by Lecherous Shithead, and included a ton of him planting self-promotional wankery into discordian history -- so fuck it, it doesn't exist)

if you want to join them on Discord, but the link expired, hit me up and I'll toss you a fresh one.

Let me see what I can come up with.

What's the deadline?

January 15th, but I have a feeling that's more of a 'guideline'

unless you specify a year then the procrastinators will just procrastinate

I don't see the need to email from this machine, because of work reasons.  So here:

Dear Truth,

I know you and I have been together for a very long time, but I cannot keep living a lie.  I have found someone else...Well, more than just one someone else.  This is that polygamy thing you wouldn't agree to when I brought it up in 2016.  So I am leaving you for three others.

The first is named "Confirmation Bias" and she's wonderful.  She supports me in everything, and never argues with me. 

The second is named "Cognitive Dissonance", and she doesn't nitpick at me or remind me of every little detail of any given subject. 

The third is named "Revisionism," but my pet name for her is "Gas Lighting".  She tells me that I wasn't wrong when it seemed like I might have been, and what's more, she tells other people they were wrong or mistaken or just plain crazy when they bring up things I allegedly said or did.

While I feel bad about leaving you like this with so little warning, at least I'm not dumping you for someone younger.    These three have been around forever, and they do things for me that you never could.  I don't have to face any ugliness anymore, because they will dispose of it for me.  I don't have to do any soul-searching, because they tell me all the time that I'm certainly not the problem.

So I have to go. 

It's not me, baby, it's you.  You and your nagging ways.

Farewell,
America

fwiw, the reason this new issue is called Issue 11 is that one of their goals is to undo and replace the [redacted] issue.

By making a new Issue 11, it helps insure that the [Redacted] version will (to quote Gengis Khan) "disappear like a stone dropped into a deep lake"

r/ is reddit. r/discordian is a discordian community on reddit

I posted this thread on behalf of a discord community (discord = a chat app)
which spawned from the discordian reddit community



within that community, there is a subcabal called:

Well, he's a known thief, so I guess I shouldn't be too upset about it.

But I really don't like having my name or my work touted on a pedo's page.

Thats the downside of share and share alike, no one can take those and put them up for sale, but anyone who wants to can freely distribute them.

Alana (that's whose in charge of this project) said that last week, they already had 17 submissions by 11 different authors! I really can't wait to see this thing.

Yeah, I'm not having a fit.

It's just dismal to even think of that guy.  Since he has no editorial control, it's not even relevant.

That was really good.  Thanks for posting it.
