Gifts of the Spirit: Automatism Session with hypnotist Michele Occelli, Ron Athey has been directing automatism sessions with philosophical reading prompts, creating writing, collectively authored texts…

I just got more drone footage from our Automatic Writing session from October 2025 in Athens, Greece. Working on more Darkness Visible locations, for this 10 day immersive workshop. This space, once Communitism, now Plex, is hard to match, we produced 45 performances for our finals night!

There’s a GoFundMe for Jonathan Ross’s legal expenses for murdering Renee Good.

This violates GoFundMe’s Terms of Service. Everyone must report it.

A thread on how to do that 🧡
