So many pope cards this year! I’ll be releasing a file if you’d like to print your own. The video below shows how to cut and fold. Thanks to @brownsmith.bsky.social for the last minute content and everyone who’s contributed to the Holy Nonsense project.

Among all the horrors and the dread, don’t forget to look down and find the first evidence of true spring.

It's easy for the dead to tell you to fight, and maybe it's true, maybe fighting is useless. Perhaps it's too late.

But maybe we can still be open to the possibility that something wonderful could happen. That we could be it. History has its eyes on us.

White page with black text and large hand drawn flourishes with hearts and curly ques on top and bottom. The text reads: "When all this is over You'll see the look in my eye And hopefully I can share My magical optimism with you."

I hope you can treat yourself and others with kindness today. I hope you are holding space for your righteous anger, your fear, your doubts and fury. I hope you are organizing and planning and taking naps. None of us asked to be born in a time like this.

#HolyNonsense #Postergasm #Fnord
A white page with an framed cloudy background. At the center is a jumbled mess of fetal skulls, geometric shapes and paint splatters, none of which appear to be the slightest bit concerned about gravity, or if they are the center they are being drawn towards is not down but each other, like liquids clumping in zero g. Above this mess is text written in a futuristic font that reads: "You do not deserve the cruelty the world has laid at your feet."

Hey sometimes if you harass your electeds they call you back. It’s a little crazy seeing “Governor so and so” pop up on your caller id but saving these numbers makes everything a lot easier.
Screenshot of an iPhone contact page for Governor Maura Healey. Close reading shows a 4 minute incoming call today at 12:29pm. Two numbers are labeled as Boston Office (617) 725-4005 and Springfield Office (413) 784-1200. The Boston office is marked “recent.”

Hey! Things are really bad out there. You're not crazy. Take some comfort with you, you will need it.

#HolyNonsense #Postergasm #Fnord
White page with an elaborate vintage illustration of a girl in a forest, kneeling and looking slightly downward with a kind expression. Small text above the illustration reads: "There was never anything wrong with you. You were just learning, just existing. It's impossible to do it without making mistakes, but making a mistake doesn't make you one, doesn't make you broken. I know sometimes it's been harder for you than it should be. I know you struggle. I know it's unfair. And yes, you can seek diagnoses and treatment and self improvement. I hope you never stop improving yourself. I hope you keep growing. Just know that I loved you every step of the way. Who you were, who you are, who you will be. I'm rooting for you. Keep breathing." Below this is a floral divider and large decorative text reading "Blessed are the Awkward" over a polka dotted and sketchy background with a mix of geometric lines and curly flourishes.

You would not believe the pushback I get on this. Just because it works in hacker movies doesn't mean it works irl. I know it's super romantic to imagine that The People are going to rise up when you tell the truth, but the truth is organizing still needs to happen.

#HolyNonsense #Postergasm #Fnord
White page with a large geometric border around a smaller text box. A splatter of maybe paint is visible behind the text and bleeding into the outer border. Text in a damaged, blocky, retro font reads "The good guys do not automatically win. The evil empire does not magically collapse when their misdeeds are broadcast to the public. Things do not get better on their own. You have to work."

You can post this anywhere. No one can stop you.

Okay people can stop you but you would be shocked how disinclined most people are to engage in any kind of conflict. At worst your stuff gets taken down.

You control your streets.

#HolyNonsense #Fnord #Postergasm
White page with bold black text reading "blessed are those with a good left hook." Top and bottom are bordered by five large black roses in bloom, with associated leaves intertwined with the edges of the text.

An excerpt from The Strange Times, written by Professor Cramulus and still causing havoc in the literary world today. I'm not sure of the best place to find his stuff these days but PrincipiaDiscordia.com still exists and you should go.

#HolyNonsense #Fnord #Postergasm
White page with black text and a lot of jumbled icons and symbols. Text reads "it's The Strange Times, and every human being - even the boring ones - is unspeakably, unknowably weird." The words "the strange times" are in a wils script font with curly cues and there are weird plants growing out of everything. At the bottom of the page a man in a suit is sprawled on the ground, possibly dead. A police car, record player, and three keys in different styles are scattered around the page. The final key is positioned as if it is opening a circle inside a pentagon.

One of my 99 problems is that this is my favorite and I over post it.

I'm not wrong though.

#HolyNonsense #Postergasm #Fnord
A white page with a large illustration of a star and associated galactic debris, over which is the text "I've got 99 problems and every single one is the direct result of my own hubris" in a blocky style reminiscent of a medieval or Elizabethan script. Below this is a lace border with a water bird standing to one side. On the left, a card with an Art Nouveau style illustration of a woman with vines and flowers and the tect "It's not stealing if I say yoink. Everyone knows that."

So... these images have a lot of words and that makes the alt text hard. I've opted to put in the "main body" text but that leaves out the description of the look and feel, and the bit where the performer is saying "blessed are the camwhores and the layabouts and the ungrateful youth and..."
Local Pope Goes Mad, Blesses Absolutely Everyone People shocked to see that no one was spared, not even the ones who have family arrangements that they don’t particularly approve of. “It’s all well and good blessing the meek and the poor I suppose” said one local woman. “As long as, you know, they’re virtuous about it. I don’t see how someone can bless a homeless drunk who curses at cops though.” Blessings were even accorded to individuals with universally noxious traits. Of further shock documents suggest that they were blessed because of their failings and not in spite of them. “How are people going to learn?” bemoaned local man. “I try hard to be a good person and all I ask in exchange is to feel better than everyone else and be treated as such by others. Especially those lazy thugs and hookers.” While many are questioning the reasons behind this unprecedented act of benevolence the fact remains that the spigot from which Grace is dispensed has been well and truly smashed open.

The Unconventional Blessings series debuted in 2023, although a few pages predate this burst and the original full length work was published back in 2017. A printable/poster friendly version is ready I just have to find somewhere to post it.

#HolyNonsense #Fnord #Postergasm
White page with large images and text mashed together in traditional zine style. At the top are two people wrestling, the one on the bottom appears to have the arm of the one on top pinned. Their expressions are difficult to read. Beside them a small biplane in a circle. Centered is the text "Blessed are the Stubborn" the word "stubborn" is partially obscured by a bomb at an angle indicating freefall towards a target. At the bottom of the page is a vintage style divider with flowers sprouting at the sides and at the crown, with the words "hope is a weed" written in a playful curly script.

Ok I don't have a censored version of this one because it doesn't work without the cussing. Fite me.

#HolyNonsense #Fnord #Postergasm
White page with a complex gray background featuring a woman in a dark ballgown with her hands on her hips. Naturalistic line art obscures much of the page including her face, and the faintest hint of a decorated apple is visible in the lines of her skirt. Above this reads the text "Hell hath no Fury like a Woman who is Done with your Shit."

And know this: the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empire’s authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege.
Remember this. Try.

White page with a simple border with art deco style corner pieces and handwritten text reading "when you have tried and failed do not waste too much of your time on those who did nothing and criticize your efforts"

An excerpt from "Revival" from Holy Nonsense. I'll share a link somewhere to a print file for a bunch of these if you want to poster your neighborhood with some tragic optimism.

#HolyNonsense #Postergasm #Fnord
White page with very fancy victorian corner decorations and a figure standing with arms outstretched on one foot. A second, sketchier figure is visible behind, the arms stretched at a different angle, head further back, back foot further down. Large black text in a shaky, blocky style reads "Take a Shaking Step on your Bad Foot"

The saying goes "the best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago, the second best time to plant a tree is now," but I'm a fan of brevity.

White page with large black bubbles and a stylized cartoon cat grinning with razor sharp teeth. Blact text in a box below the cat reads "Everyone Will Not Just.

Smaller excerpt from Year of Our Lady, a work from Holy Nonsense which is still like a thousand years behind schedule. If death has to put his pants on one leg at a time so can I.

#HolyNonsense #Fnord #Postergasm
White page featuring a skeleton partially clothed in tudor fashion struggling to get on its pants, with a watermark of a skull and crossbones behind. Black text reads "Remember, you will die here. Remember, you are already dead. But you do not have to die alone and you do not have to die in service to what you hate and you do not have to die having never Lived." A smaller section of text is separated by a ribbon at the bottom beside a drawing of a rose in bloom. This text reads "I'll tell you this, if I could do it all again I'd be fighting the bastards from the start."

I always post this one on bridges when I have the chance. Would be really cool if all the 2020 vibes were unrecognizably dour and unrelatable right now. Really. Cool.

#HolyNonsense #Postergasm #Fnord
White page with an image of silhouetted people hanging out on a dock as flying saucers zoom in shooting death beams. Black text in a messy, splattered style reads "Sometimes the only rational response is to stand on a bridge screaming"

I hope you're putting one foot in front of the other today. I hope you're feeding yourself and drinking water and feeling the sun on your face for a couple minutes. You matter.

#HolyNonsense #Postergasm #Fnord
White page with a dark chaotic image on the top half containing a hand drawn style cloud with the words "the dark is afraid of us" inside. bottom text: "No, I’m not ok. I’m having trouble sleeping, I can’t seem to focus, the world doesn’t extend past two days from now, everything feels fake and bullshit all the time. And it is no failure of my sanity or sense of perspective that this is how I am. These are times when people turn to conspiracy theories to try and make for themselves an evil with nads that can be kicked, because there is real horror in the knowledge that no one is steering this bus and it is headed for a cliff. It’s unbearably scary when things are broken and you can’t find someone to blame. It’s hard to sit with the feeling, and it’s okay to set it down for a bit and just do what needs doing. It’s okay to put one foot in front of the other, to feel the raised paint on the road through your worn and holey soles, to listen and not speak. And it’s okay to scream."

Censored and uncensored versions for your amusement. Being highly identifiable in my municipality I have to go a little conservative with my cussing in public but you do what makes you happy.
