Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Everything I know about astral projection I learned from Alex Chilton.
Each room is different, and filled with relics,
That will disorient you like psychedelics.
Thirty thousand monks at his direction,
Practicing things like astral projection.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
And didja' know that scientists know how to reproduce this sensation?
I read that!
A friend of mine wrote a blog post about some of the frequencies that may causes people to see "ghosts."
Like, a toaster can resonate at the same frequency as your eyeball, causing a weird visual hallucination, and magnets can give you that sensation of having the hairs on the back of your neck raise and give you goosebumps. So if you are lying on a very old spring mattress that has become magnetized over time, that eerie feeling that your room is haunted could go away with a new mattress and box spring.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Eyeballs have frequencies?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, see, with all that magnetisation it's less a mattress and more a machine.

So the ghost wasn't in the mattress after all?
No, no...the ghost is in the machine.
I swear, it's like you people aren't paying attention at all.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
transport herself to the eighth dimension.
Is she going to start singing "Age of Aquarius" next??
eta: wait, no, that was 5th Dimension. So is the 8th Dimension song "Age of Taurus"?
