An end of a Year 2025

 

 

 

Dear internet, it's a few days after that holiday of Christ and the end of a Gregorian calendar year 2025 has rolled around and the beginning of a new year 2026 here on planet earth has arrived that I am able to sign into this blog and post another blagh post in the age of big tech algorithms and social media censorship where I have found a couple of my social media pages banned, suspended or shut down in the name of community guidelines or modern day book burning as both the UK and Australia are both now under a massive censorship regime. And sometimes I wonder if I should call this blagh pro police state instead of no police state for it to last a little longer. 

And so there was a Tompkins Square Park t - shirt Holiday Sale that I attempted to vend those banned Tompkins Square Park t - shirts at in Tompkins Square Park during SantaCon, that day when thousands of Santas descend on New York City that was a week before that annual MORUS Holiday Market of Fly and Carla handmade items where I attempted to vend black lives matter jewelry at in this holy day season in New York City.

And thank you Jeff Stark, Nonsense NYC and Eden for helping to get a few people to these events. 

And that comet 3I/ATLAS alien invasion that I have been blaghing about for the past few months never happened as it passed by planet earth during it's closest approach December 19th on its way to Jupiter.

 

 

And it's been another year of more people passing away here on planet earth. So many that I found myself posting this passage on Facebook a few weeks ago:

dear facebook, i turn on facebook once a day to see that once a day someone I know of from my generation has died, or their parents have passed away. facebook has replaced myspace for online obituaries. i hate it that death is a part of life. and death has replaced birth for being the first post i see at the top of my facebook feed. this has been the worst year ever for deaths. one generation passes and another one comes but the earth abideth forever.

And if you have been on the Lower East Side or East Village it is called for real estate marketing purposes, squatter scene in the late 80's or early 90's, you may have heard of or came across John "The Communist" Potak, a squatter revolutionary and one of those 13th Street squatters who plastered his posters everywhere on light poles and beyond in that East Village neighborhood and went to countless demonstrations and marches with his class war on the poor spray painted on a sheet banners during those Tompkins Square Park police riots, homeless encampments and Squatter May Day concerts against police state repression, gentrification and war.

The if you need a home, take one, squatter community, is saddened to hear that John the Communist passed away December 16th. He was a prolific propagandist  And his banners remain. The only thing constant is change and some stories do not end as you expect.

Banned Tompkins Square Park T - Shirts

 

 

 

 

And so when your Tompkins Square Park t - shirts are banned in Tompkins Square Park because someone doesn't like the logo on your Tompkins Square Park t - shirt, it was a Memorial Day weekend of vending banned Tompkins Square Park t - shirts & #blacklivesmatter, #notmypresident, #occupywallstreet #nopolicestate, #yoga #fridakhalo #music #unionsquarepark #tompkinssquarepark #washingtonsquarepark #brooklyn #theshadow #morus #ILoveNY & #sh*tjustgotreal necklaces, magnets, key chains & pins at Tompkins Square Park May 24 during Drew Stone’s NYHC show, featuring: Sonic Bomb, End of Hope, Butterbrain, NON-RESIDENTS and REBELMATIC. 

 

 

The next Shows in Tompkins Square Park is the 5th Annual WASTEXFEST June 8, with a Facebook event invite that reads like as follows:

 

Wasteland Productions and Waste Management Presents Our 5th Annual WASTEXFEST featuring Blackout Shoppers, Complete Fucker, Angry Corpses NJHC, YDI, Urban Waste, and this year’s headliner FANG. Food will once again be made by Lady Waste Rachel Jean-Abriss Gitten, with donations going to Sweetbriar Nature Center. This will be a fun year at Tompkins Square Park.

 

And...

 

 

It also became a Memorial Day Weekend of passing by Theater for the New City's 30th Annual Lower East Side Festival of the Arts. 

And...

 

 

It was also on the way to the 38th Annual Loisaida Festival, in New York's Lower East Side or Loisaida, Sunday, May 25, 2025 for: 

COMMUNITY • MUSIC • FOOD • ART • CULTURE • THEATER with Batala New York (parade performers) 

 

while watching LoisaidaFest from Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space - MORUS, next to a sculpture of  CHARAS, Memorial Day Weekend, 2025.

Have a great New York City concert, festival day and more. And what, if anything, does this have to do with a No Police State.

 

A New York City Holiday Market

 

 

And it is a New Years Eve 2024 here in America as I type this blagh post. And according to that Gregorian calendar on the wall another new year 2025 has rolled around here on planet earth as that holiday of Christmas and Hanukkah has come to pass.

And it was also the annual MORUS Holiday Market and Christmas is the coldest day of the year event is here again this year. Please join us December 21, 22 and 24 @ Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space - MORUS where I found myself attempting to vend those Tompkins Square Park t shirts and Black Lives Matter necklaces, magnts, key chains and pins at along with Fly Orr substitutes and her "holiday" & "greeting cards" - zines - comics- books - CDs - t-shirts - pins - Fly-O-Art Prints and More... Fly also made a limited edition of memorial peops cards for Steven Englander, the director of ABC No Rio, that were available at our holiday market as in those photos and videos that find themselves posted above. 

And a few of those share your holiday thoughts on our "Your Thoughts on the Holidays" banner that was hung up outside of morus thoughts were:

1. Capitalist Scam

2. TODAY

3. It's the thought that counts

4. Bah Humbug!

5. Cool

And then in other random blagher thoughts, it is also Alien invasions "drones" that have been in the news and most of my twitter feed lately. So much that it has me wondering if the apocalypse has started and I find myself typing things like:

 "First drones, ufo's, aliens, fallen angels and demons everywhere and now mysterious chemical fog! And something about nanodust and nanobots to control human beings are in the fog. There is something going on!

Mysterious fog is enveloping the entire world and people are getting sick."

 

And so my religious fanaticism takes over to where I wonder if these "drones" as the news are calling them are manmade or simply fallen angels from the pit straight out of the book of revelations that goes something like: 

 

It’s not The Fog- it’s THE MIST

 

Rev. 9:2

 

And there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power"

 

Then the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from heaven which had fallen to the earth; and the key of the bottomless pit was given to him. He opened the bottomless pit, and smoke went up out of the pit, like the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke of the pit".

 

It's Going to be Biblical

And so maybe these "drones" that seem to have morphed into chemical fog stuff will disappear as soon as the weather changes and it disappears from the news and my twitter and Facebook feed.

And that's not to mention the latest plannedemic scamdemic and all of the other wars, famines, plagues and wild beasts and horrible atrocities that seem to take place here on planet earth each day as well as simultaneous lightning strikes  at the US Capitol building and the Washington Monument in Washington DC and at the Empire State Building and One World Trade Center in New York City on New Year's Eve as if it is an omen that are in the news on this day.

A Fly - O - Art & Carla Holiday Market!

It is Christmas as I type this blog post, the day of Christ or Jesus Christ's day of birth, a few days until a new year according to that Gregorian calendar. A 123123 years end has rolled around here on planet earth and Israel is still at war as Jesus is in rubble and Christmas is Cancelled in Bethlehem, Jesus birthplace , there are "Free Gaza" protests happening on a seemingly daily basis in the New York City area and I am wondering if it is still a Dark Winter 2023.

And so this Fly - O - Art & Carla Holiday Market! in that city of New York, that finds itself posted in those photos and videos above, has also been a Morus Holiday Market that I have found myself vending at in years past, also turned into a Fly E bike story for Fly Orr who found herself posting on her Instagram page a few days before the holiday market:

fly_peops

Broken wrist. Got run over today. I mean yesterday by an E bike that took me down and then took off. Spent about seven hours in the ER before they finally put a cast on me. I am smiling because I am happy to be home finally but the pain is pretty bad. I can definitely say though that getting hit by an E bike is less painful than getting run over by an SUV so. .. There’s that. Six weeks they say. Ugh… I am doing my big annual holiday art sale on Friday, Saturday and Sunday with Carla at the museum of reclaimed urban space. I have new Zine hot off the press. And some other cool stuff. But I left too much to the last minute, so it’s going to be, hard to get it all finished. Please come by the Art sale and say hi or just hang out or buy a new Zine or some cool holiday cards etc. I would really love to see my peoples.

And if I could rant and rave, I would reply to that e bike story that "These DoorDash, Grubhub and delivery for speed apps suck. I wish someone would get rid of these ebikes and scooters. They are a menace to society, outpacing cars for pedestrian injuries. I am scared to walk down the street because of them. These ebikes are not regulated and should require licenses and insurance for them, and that's not even including the lithium battery fires they are causing.'

And The Village Sun says Not right: Hit by e-bike, artist must now draw left-handed. 

And so the Facebook event invite for this event reads something like:

Join us. Fly - O - Art & Carla Holiday Market! Holiday ( & Any Day). Hand - stamped & signed greeting cards....Zines, Pins, Books, T-Shirts, Jewelry, CDs, etc... + Fly-O-Art Prints... & some free stuff!!

AND
Lotsa MoRUS Merch!

Friday. Dec 22. Sat. Dec 23. & Sun. Dec. 24. 1-6pm at Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space - MORUS

And thank you Frank Morales, for taking those "Manhattan" and "Money"  boxes out of my closet that's been sitting there for years, and thank you Fly's friend for buying that "Death Tarot Card" box that's been sitting in the closet for years. And thank you Katie and Elana for buying one of those Tompkins Square Park and Washington Square Park t shirts. Your Survival Without Rent film is really cool.

And then there is a Facebook photo from Frank Gonzalez that I came across in facebookland that reads:
