The article describes the rise of the Radical Rest movement, led by Black activists and artists, in response to the need to reclaim sleep and dreams from colonial agendas and capitalist systems of oppression. This movement has developed parallel to the rapid growth of sleep technology, offering new products for sleep-deprived consumers of the global North.

The unique potential of lucid dreaming in giving the dreamer the ability to freely influence the entire dreamworld to their volition attracts widespread interest, and various online forums have been created for people to share experiences and tips for lucid dreaming (e.g., dreamviews.com).

“music for readings” is a collateral project of cursedinfo. Its first purpose is to provide nice instrumental backgrounds while you busy reading articles. Secondly, it wants to create a deep connection between written words and winged music.

What does it mean “to love” someone? Does it always mean the same thing, and if not, in what ways do lovers differ from each other? Why do certain loves seem to last, whereas others disappear almost as quickly as they are formed? This article seeks to answer these and other questions through a triangular theory of love. This tripartite theory deals both with the nature of love and with loves in various kinds of relationships.

This paper examines gender and social issues in the erotic and separation spells of the Greek and Demotic magical papyri and in the comparative material of the erotic and separation defixiones, the binding spell tablets. Who were the users and the intended victims of the erotic and separation spells? What was the social status of the female victims? What is the goal of erotic magic?

This is the first part of a three-phases conclusive project @arkangelodelikato started in 2024, a performative act intersected with @_omarcheikh ‘s soundscape and @hexera ‘s critical storytelling. cursedinfo is glad to introduce her on its platform with a deep emotional mix including her spoken words (tape released by @lentefantasma label in 2025).
Second part unfolds as a textual composition, starting from @arkangelodelikato unsent loveletters to a textual composition imagined and transposed into words by herself and @hexera (from : us to : the universe). cursedinfo will vehiculate it through its archive.
μνήμη & λήθη is about “desires that don’t ask 2 be explained only 2 be heard, between whisper and noise between what is felt and what we’re afraid 2 feel”.
Third part is yet to discover…

“As I sit in my garden, I feel my plants are watching me and waiting for my next move. As chemically resistant seasonally confused vine weevils munch away on roots and leaves leaving their patterns on the hidden and visible worlds, I wonder if their acts of random creation are not as justified as mine. Information harvested by social media, Amazon and Google, gives me the feeling I am being watched all the time - algorithms know my next move before I do. This feeling of being constantly visible in an information overloaded nowhere that cannot truly know me leaves me in a constant state of wondering who or what I am. Am I the plant in my back garden being eaten by the vine weevils? The vine weevils themselves? The pot? Excalibur? The Lady in the Lake?”
Glad to include @sarahiremonger ’s paper in cursedinfo archive.

The concept of magic is frequently used to discuss technology, a practice considered useful by some with others arguing that viewing technology as magic precludes a proper understanding of technology. The concept of magic is especially prominent in discussions of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML).

When viewed through the lens of distributed cognition theory, we can better see the dynamic and troubling ways in which inaccurate beliefs, distorted memories and self-narratives, and delusional thinking can emerge through human-AI interactions; examples of which are popularly being referred to as cases of “AI psychosis”.

On TikTok, the hashtag #ThatGirl has become a trend that encourages women to reimagine their lives with a structured routine to optimize productivity and beauty. The trend promotes an idealized lifestyle, often featuring aesthetically pleasing visuals of morning routines, sports outfits, and healthy meals. […] However, while the trend apparently aims to inspire others to become the best version of themselves, it has also been criticized for promoting unrealistic and unhealthy standards and has faced scrutiny over how it affects viewers’ well-being.
