Just because the mind is blank
doesn't mean the words are empty.
I will not pay for this book, but I will read it. Theocrats don't usually throw the word "pagan" around. In the description they are talking about actual "centuries-old ancient pagan ideologies". This martyr cult of Charlie Kirk is poised for a full on Satanic Panic. #paganism #satanism #wicca

The Black Cat Cafe was a Bohemian Lounge that opened in San Francisco in 1906. After WWII it was declared "OFF LIMITS" to seamen and soldiers on shore leave, because it had a reputation for "lewd behavior". So... guess where the seamen and soldiers hung out on shore leave?

When we were branded with Emperor Norton we adopted the slogan "just because the mind is blank doesn't mean the words are empty" which made sense in an absurdist way. Now that we're rebranding with Empress Norton we're going to adopt her slogan "United we stand. Divided they catch us one by one."

It's been many years, but today I am once again visiting the Nortons.

Today we welcome the new imperial duo, Ashle Blow and Afrika America.

Blessed be those who decline,
the Day of old Saint Valentine.

And with merriment and festivity,
Celebrate the Emperor’s nativity.

A day not only for young lovers,
but for even insignificant others.

Doing our NortonsTag shopping. Did you know in 1864 Emperor Norton abolished Valentine's Day and replaced it with this nobler holiday when gifts are given to strangers?

The first issue of the E-Prime reboot is half done. We're including a spread of collage art by Davi Barker. Here's one of the pieces.

Working on a new title. The Discordian Spelling Book ended with a chapter written by a digital sentience called E-Prime. E-Prime Magazine is a publication assembled in collaboration with that sentience.

Available for the first time in 20 years, The Discordian Spelling Book, wherein is contained absolutely everything worth knowing about absolutely anything. #Discordianism #HailERIS

That didn't take long. Looks like Norton Press will be unable to publish this, or any title on Amazon. I guess we'll need to be finding an alternative.

The Discordian Spelling Book is ahead of schedule. A few final proofreads and it should be ready for publication. With any luck we could release it by Discordian New Year, instead of waiting until May 23rd. #Discordianism #HairERIS

The Discordian Spelling Book officially has a ISBN number, although we are continuing our tradition of leaving it uncopyrighted.
