Dis Clam ‘ere
Alabaster Crippens doesn't entirely believe in objective truth, therefore he can neither confirm or deny the accuracy of any statement, image or impression caused by, or displayed on, these pages of the so called 'internet'. He does however not want to get sued, even if the lawyers, legal system, and the concept of jurisprudence doesn't exist. Therefore if you believe the nonsense posted on here you do so entirely at your own risk. In other words: Don't sue me 'cause I might not mean it. Basically, anything you hear from anyone is unreliable, so if you want the 'truth' you need the perspectives of as many people as you can get..ideally people who are trustworthy and close to the particular 'truth' you wish to inspect. If you start trusting idiots with silly (and obviously made up) names then you're developing some kind of problem. Check your sources, examine their own politcal (or other) motivation, remember that anything people say is opinion unless you are certain that they speak the 'truth'. Even your own eyes can lie. Trust me on that one. Or don't..it doesn't bother me. Finally, everything written here is, to the best of my knowledge written by me and I reserve my right to be recognised as the author of these works. Any input from other sources should be clearly shown, if you note a mistake or anything..tell me..I'll try and sort out the problem. Please ask me if you want to use anything for commercial reasons...I probably won't mind but I need to know I'm not supporting anything I don't want to support. This is an attempt at a legal notice written without legal knowledge. Just follow the principles, I think most of you get what I mean, even if it won't stand up in a court of law. Just be polite you know...like in the good ole days.

Mounting Darkness and Creative Destruction on the Dark Mountain – Uncivilisation 2012
To civilise is to build. To uncivilise is to destroy? I may just be tired, but I actually feel very lost. Last year’s Dark Mountain Uncivilisation Festival made me grounded and full hearted, my mind swirling with ideas. This year, … Continue reading

The Unbearable Darkness of Mountains – Uncivilisation 2011
Last night, as the sun set, I wandered into the woods. Dosed up with Valerian and on barely any sleep (third hangover of the year, too soon after the second) I was already hazy, and I became totally and utterly … Continue reading

National Poetry Day – For the Love of Prufrock
I’m not very good at this kind of thing, and it’s all a little shadowy, mumbled and lispy. But it remains my favourite poem. No matter how many times I read it, it still makes me want to declaim it … Continue reading
Freizeit- The Kindness of Strangers
It’s a little weird. Hard to get used to how far you can get on the kindness of strangers, with only the tiniest bit of language ability. It’s also terrifying. I have been weirdly isolated at times, but it’s pretty … Continue reading
That’ll Learn ‘em
I’m tired. So there’ll be a lack of coherency, but that’s fine, I don’t think anybody has any expectations round here. It’s not often that I have thoughts at nine in the morning. Let alone coherent ones that stay in … Continue reading

Journeys don’t end – Learnings and Wanderings
Okay, lots of things to try and agglomerate, and my heads a bit brokes by all this, so there may be confustion. Also, can I briefly recommend Twitter, and particularly me on Twitter. I’m starting to get into this, and … Continue reading

I guess you had to be there – On Old News and the Point of Views

Gendered Fucking – GenderFuck
More sex and sexuality for the boys and girls and, particularly, the in betweens or outsiders. Spent this morning flicking through a book on Genderqueer identity this morning. Particularly a chapter on definitions of transgender and how they fit into … Continue reading
Sexduality
So, I’ve written about this before, kinda. Anyway, I’m writing, because I’ve got something to write about, and it’s not misery-centric, and it mightbe interesting, and my stats have plummeted, and I’ve stopped paying attention. This gives me motivation to … Continue reading

Thought Crimes
It’s happened again. I’ve been accused of thinking. Again. The first time this happened, I got pissed off. Second time, I tried to teach you a lesson. Anyway, I haven’t decided what to do this time. But I would like … Continue reading
Gimme Some Sass – Gender Funk
So, be warned, this may not be my most forward thinking post, but I’ve been thinking about the contradictions inherent in myself recently, and thought writing about them, whilst posting some relevant videos might be something I could do on … Continue reading

Battles – Mirrored
I am liking this a lot. First listen and there’s something really magic about the energy here. Second track (‘Atlas’) sounds almost like Adam and the ants at it’s root. Something in the rhythm that’s really simple and march like. … Continue reading

Take a Picture – On Objects and Souls
Careful everybody, this could be a bit of a bumpy ride. I’ve been reading up on the objectification in porn arguments again. Some interesting and potentially controversial points show up here, and lead me to here. So there’s a lot … Continue reading

Idea Compost – The Androgyne Spirituality of the Berdache
Edit: Just did some further reading and the preferred term for Berdache is Two Spirit (Berdache is etymologically Spanish in origin and has negative connotations…however, I don’t want to say ‘Spirituality of the Two Spirit’ as it’s repetitive. More information … Continue reading

Uh Oh, The Future Comes to Town
Apologies for having not posted for a while. My weekend was somewhat adventurous and busy and needed some kind of recovery period. I’m not sure that’s finished yet but I feel like the urge to write is back. Hence… I … Continue reading
