Just as I’m about to get all juicy posting about my birthday party… which is about to be the show and party of the century!!!… I’m heartbroken and afraid.

A music festival was attacked
This is an attack on the Jews, and this is an attack on fun and the free spirit.
This is an attack on human experience of love.
And now talks of threats on New York?
Every uniformed person here called to duty to stay vigilant on Friday the 13th
I’m sick at the thought of it At the thought of people all over the world living in such fear over such unnecessary things.

I am going to forge ahead and share the extravagantly beautiful details and intention of this event I am planning, with the love in my heart that I am feeling for it. I don’t want to censor my joy and enthusiasm! And in fact everything I’m putting into and want out of this mad hattin’ party is fuel for the very antidote to the world’s madness!

I’m not throwing a party just to throw a party.
I’m not throwing a party for attention or because I need to dance and be celebrated…. Trust me this happens every day. I’m throwing a party to open up lineages and language secrets… and to fuse lasting connections and love!

I’ve curating every detail to embody bits of the world I want to see, and that I want everyone to experience. There are so many deep and potent intentions embedded in this immersion that if i don’t explain it all in detail, and it wouldn’t be the same if you didn’t get the joni lowdowni on it all first!!!

And first: Tickets for this event are my age — $39.
I was having a thing about the price wanting to be lenient cuz all my friends are VIPs and I always want to be inclusive… but no. I throw free parties all the time! I have open doors on this bus regularly. This event is $39! I am $pending a lot to make it happen and you will get $200 worth of an event and an unmeasurable amount of ::magic::.
So please, buy your ticket now and tell your friends because the Queen of Hearts Fête WILL sell out!!!

Here’s the rundown.

First: The theme. How to dress. How to prepare.

*KNOW YOUR CARD(S)! ♥️♠️♦️♣️ If you don’t know now you know…
everyone’s birthday is linked to a card in the original deck of cards. Obviously, I’m the Queen of Hearts. This is preliminary knowledge for us all to have. Please refer to this chart for your main card — — and you can go to thesourcecards.com to also find out your personality card, card of the year, and more. Don’t work so hard at your life homey… time to PLAY IT!! What is your card?

KNOW YOUR LETTER(S) If you don’t know now you know, you have a Power Letter! No need to look at a chart for this one… you already have it inside you. What is your Power Letter??
*ALICE IN WONDERLAND! We will indeed be going down the Rabbit Hole for this one, so you are encouraged to become a character either from the story, or one of your own design who shoulda been there…. Or a mix of both!

*The crucial part: PARODIES, PUNS and PLAYONS! Put it all together and whadddya got? Bibbidy Bobbidy… you! Playing with language and finding the puns in everything is a way of life… and this ain’t no dad joke thing… these P’s opens up portals.

🌹Don’t want to get so specific with your look? No need! Overall themes to choose: Red & Black, Black and Red, anything about the deck of cards, Royal Regalia, Roses and Poses, hats upon hats, crowns upon crowns, gold and shimmer and shine!

Your imagination is the limit when it comes to combining these ideas into the character of your design. And if you need my imagination too, I gotchyou! On the eve of October 18th at 7pm I will hold a Zoom for all registered guests who wish to prepare with me. We’ll talk cards, letters, wonderland lore and find the perfect PPP to tie it all together. I’ll give costume tips… I may even have a look for you in my closet. I looooove appointing people roles too — sorry the Cheshire Brat is taken 😻 but I def got one for you too boo!!

The optimal time to arrive is 9pm… in time for 9:36pm, my birth time! We will gather outside in merriment with Glinda the Good Bus, we will begin checkin, sip champagne and nosh hors douvres, and get extra sparkled up!

We will be giving everyone a brooch with their Deck of Card card on it to wear — and you can decorate as well — so please do share in advance on the RSVP!

THE SHOW! 10-midnight
A key part of my existence is that I share my October 23rd birthday with the prince of parody himself, Weird Al Yancovic.

This is going to be a jam packed 2 hours of wild silly-fun parody-filled entertainment from some the most brilliant, talented, wonder-filled people I know! Including seven acts from me: reprises of 4 of my past parodies, and 3 new ones including a new music video drop! I’m getting fired up here and we have a lot of rehearsing to do. This is bout to be a showwww!

I’ll save the lineup drop for another moment, but dare you to get as excited as I am.

MIDNIGHT OCTOBER 23rd: ROYAL FASHION PRESENTATION to THE QUEEN
Strut down the runway to showcase your look, and greet your Birthday Queen of Hearts!

• RSVP to The Queen of Hearts Fête | Partiful
• The Queen👑of♥️Hearts Fête

important note on Greetings!
The ::magic:: ërä… the royal era… potato potato… we are starting something fresh and ancient. And in this new Renaissance we greet each other with bows and courtesies! None of this handshake formality — save it for a business deal. Enough with the immediate hugs — I have things going on with my outfit that nobody can explain and I must protect my space! Save the hugs for later bb.
This goes for this event — and how I would always like to be greeted!

Around midnight the doors will also open to the Rabbit Hole downstairs.

You will find….

Frick Frack Black Jack! Oh yes- the ultimate party way to play with the cards, our Frick Frack friends will be bringing their heap of treasures that you can bet for — with your own treasures. Bring your trinkets and goods to win big!

Tattoos! Feeling deeply connected to your suit? Your letter? Artists Majo and Philippe will have a flash-sheet of tattoo styles for you to choose from, ink your source power into your skin!

LOVE! As the Queen of Hearts it is deeply important to me that everyone find the love they seek. I believe that in the ::magic:: ërä we will be able to phase out dating apps, because synchronicity will put us organically in the paths of our pleasure and destiny. Looking for love? Whatever kind of love you seek,

Head Massage Guillotine
Heavy is the crown — — so when I take that ish off, all I want is a full blown head massage! Even with a multi-tiered crown, there are ways to massage the head that will bring on ascension. My signature Michelle’s Throni experience will be available… guillotine style. Heads will roll. And you will die and be reborn.

And SURPRISES GALORE!!!!

And then….. call out of your Monday plans for a reprise of last year’ sunrise on Glinda the Good Bus with Vito Fun and friends then open decks all day! We’ll roll into a Monday Funday and we’ll dance dance dance till we’re dead!!!

Today I’m going to blog my October calendar!

My calendar vision is intricate — and while I have boundless energy to keep going and enthusiasm to fulfill on the details, what I want to happen takes a lot of support players!

In the ::magic:: ërä our whims will materialize spontaneously into “events” and we’ll have easeful ways to attend and deeply interact.

For now- there’s a lot of things you literally have to be directly in touch with me to know it’s happening, even if I’ve known about it! Ooopsie. My desires are for it to be simplified, each event or idea or workday carried forth by those who resonate, and open events to be known by all who need to know!

I exist somewhere between wanting to contact everyone personally to meticulously curate the people of every moment — — opening things up to the public and seeing who shows up.

As I struggle to capitulate it all into a gridded calendar, yearn for technology that doesn’t exist, come up with ways to better delineate days when so often they blend together… and rebrand time itself!….

I think a great way to let you know what’s coming up and how you can participate….

Is the joni narrative magicalendar form!

Everything I do is up for further creation and participation. I need YOU!!!! And you need me.

In general: Maybe I’ll pay you. Maybe you’ll pay me. Maybe it will be a different exchange altogether. If no price or exchange is noted we’ll feel out what is fair!

So here it is: ROCKTOBER — including dates retroactively as if I’m inviting you so you know what you missed… 🙂

The ::magic:: ërä insists that we honor even the villains of our past… so that we can properly update the vibe, upgrade the lived realities of those still negatively affected, and heal.

The ::magic:: ërä insists on exploring multiplicity. Instead of focusing on getting rid of the old, we focus on adding a powerful NEW.

The ::magic:: ërä insists on circular pink signs being added all over our geographic realm with newly meaningful names, symbols and info.

On this sanctioned American bank holiday, let us ride the divide by rallying to add a NEW name to Columbus Circle: The Indigenous Donut.

Help needed:

• Group Leader
• Indigenous peoples who want to get behind this
• Euro-descendant peoples who want to get behind this
• All peoples who want to get behind this or at least F around and find out whilst dancing
• Prototype of the new pink INDIGENOUS DONUT sign

Monday October 23 — Day N

:observance: Universal Michelle Joni Day

Last year we rung in my Sunday birthday morning with a Vito Fun set for the ages on a vacant creek side construction site with Glinda the Good Bus… this year it’ll be a Monday so hopefully we’ll be able to party with the hard hats!! In case that doesn’t last all day….

• INVITE ME SOMEWHERE!
• Lure me to your lair for a massage
• Entice me with delicious food
• My passion for blending work and play knows no bounds… help me take this Monday to the max!

Hello, I’m Michelle Joni and I’m here to help us launch the ::magic:: ërä!

Yup. That stirring for the new world that’s pulsing through our veins and our scenes — we are on the precipice of something grand and magnificent! I know what to do with it! I launched a fashion magazine in college and it still runs today as I left it soooooo do not worry.

They gave me literally ONE JOB!! It just happens to involve everyone and everything that ever was and is. Mess era has been keeping us on our toes! Messianic era what up?

So while it seeeeems like I jump from thing to thing, ohh joni not another THING, the composite of everything I’ve done and written actually IS the plan! I’ve been working on this for many lifetimes and also F-ing around and finding out for a decade, and also quite heavily downloading in the past week.

Everything I’ve done in my life is a template… a trial class… an experiment. So is yours, baby! It’s time to amplify and understand your mythology. y piece together our mythologies

in a way that will make or break the entire universe. TRUST ME…. This is not an ego thing! If you ask me, and you did, the concept of e-go has gotten so fangled that the word has to e-go!

I’m now re-activating my Medium in the spirit I started blogging here — to explain everything I know about how we launch this ërä.

I do require an entirely new way of writing with shameless tangents upon tangentals, all new technology, a new organization of time, and absolute ::magic:: to pull it off….

Thankfully I have all the details of what needs to happen and all the ::magic:: in the world — and for everything I don’t know, I got a guy. And of course, I’ve got our trusty unicorn bus to lead the stead. The community around Glinda the Good Bus in NYC is incredible and I know we’re all ready to collaborate potently.

For the purpose of making it possible for me to get deep in my writing groove I am presenting some overall things to know:

When I say ::magic:: with the dots I’m referring to the particular ::magic:: of the oncoming ërä.

The ::::::::: and the …… and the ••••• can be used in all sorts of ways to show you’re typing/operating with the principles of this brand of m:a:g:i:c.

Just like Permaculture means studying and accepting the natural tendencies of the land as is, and nurturing it, in order to grow food and flowers upon it accordingly…

Permanent ::magical:: Culture, or Permagiculture, means studying and accepting the natural tendencies of culture as is, in order to grow, Heaven on Earth upon it accordingly!

We are sending all facets of culture through the kaleidoscopic lens of ::magic::!

Some understandings :

• To launch the ërä, some jobs require payment and salary, while certain jobs must be done fully by personal will.
• Every person has the ability to activate themselves in the ::magic:: realm
• Creating 24 hour culture will be a natural part of the transition, and also a key creator of it.
• It’s less about favorites, more about the texture of and relation to each thing
• “Thing” can be a lot of things.
• Clothing matters muchly
• We are operating in Multiplicity in the Multiverse — many things can be true at once, even if they contradict themselves
• We are evolving language! so word play, puns and letter meaning are key, and all is up for a juj!
• Traumas will be untangled en masse and generationally, connection between people will be easy, joyful and meaningful
• An entirely new structure of time, work and leisure will become apparent
• Burning Man is absolutely one of the reference templates of the society of the future and Burners are most definitely the chosen ones to lead the way!
• The endless::gifting::economy exists! We will be able to faze out the current money system by plugging in to the ::magic:: energies and a new framework. It will be freeeeee but it’s not free yet honey — this op will require the handling of trillions of dollars!
• My writing and live-action living of philosophies and prophecies is highly dependent upon AlphabetiX. And so too will yours b! ICYMI we have a fresh system of decolonizing letters and the alphabet for self-divination, connection, mission and decoding the ::magic:: realm

Decolonization by way of many :::::colons!:::::

Some facets of the ::magic:: ërä

• everyone’s invited
• Chaos and cacophony but so highly organized that it can spiral out properly into the universe
• Renegotiating/reinventing everything is part of our current times
• Nothing goes to waste. Things can become dinosaurs but
• This a movement that swells up organically and quickly once gridded

It’s October

It’s my birthday month

I need a clean-ish start and slate. Nothing bugs me out more than not having a fluid narrative going where I can refer to different things.

I will take leniences in terms of producing completely finished thoughts and pieces here and instead making sure I’m channeling fluidly and sharing enough about enough things day to day that you can start to catch on to it all.

I’m declaring this writing writual as a gift to myself and the world!

I WILL POST ON MEDIUM every day this month!

I will post imperfectly, and the lists and philosophies will evolve!

In order to create something that’s never happened before we have to use mainly systems that don’t exist yet to get there! AND we have to use all the old systems too for now.

Can’t wait to connect around all of this — please ask any questions and drop your ideas and supreme knowelge in the comets ❤

• Kurt-sees! — the way I would imagine Kurt curtsies

DEAR BURNERS,

So in case you haven’t noticed, here is what’s happening right now: the REVOLUTION!!!!!

Here is my (originally posted in the Burning Man Facebook group) hot take on how we as the Burning Man Community approach this year’s Burn in regards to Black Lives Matter in the Multiverse.

Firstly — this my unicorn ride, Glinda the Good Bus!

In the streets of Brooklyn… bringing love to the corner of Myrtle-Broadway, serving as Chariot for Paperboy Prince’s epic Congress Campaign….

Shutting down the Williamsburg Bridge in a Protest Parade Party….

Serving up a stage and refuge at the Occupy City Hall encampment that has now been holding full time Camp!

Between occasional dramatic stand-offs with the cops… the place is filled with community meetings, vibes, shows, dancing, free food, medics and community, for almost a month now… (your presence is requested now and ongoingly!)

I live in my bus, with many home-bases and bathrooms and closets everywhere…. I’ve lately been sleeping out here parked on the vibrant streets where I love it most and where I’m needed most — my life is Burning Man full time! Yes, Playa time is activated and available for all to tap into, and that includes all the friend run-ins and nonstop synchronicities that come with it.

I hope you are all getting your mutant vehicles road ready or turning your regular car into a cART piece, I hope you are getting your tent ready to be inTENTional as the front yard tea lounge, I hope your balcony is acquiring LEDS as it becomes a puppet stage… The world is turning into a PermaPlaya! Can you feel it? Can you imagine it? You can! Why? Because we are the privileged ones. We have Burning Man Privilege! That’s like the privilegesty privilege of them all. We have had both a fortunate AND ::magical:: enough life experience that it lead us to the the Playa. We got to experience the real BM juice that might never be the same again. We are the ones who hold the vision! We are the ones who know the Principles! We are the ones who know how to build the things!

But let’s face it. Burning Man Privilege breeds largely from White Privilege, standing on the shoulders of the hardship our Black Ancestors… as usual.

With our desert city population consisting of at least 80%-90% White People and like 1% Black People, is it ironic — or just very dusty coincidence — that our city is called Black Rock City!?

Y’all -

BLACK. ROCK. CITY.

Black Rock.

Can we talk about BLACK ROCK for a minute? Without the music originating in Black culture, none of the music we listen to in Black Rock City would even exist right now! House, funk, electro, jazz, hip hop… Black sounds and rhythm have shaped our mutant society. Not to mention the default one! Can you imagine if it was left up to White People to originate music?!

So 75,000 White Burners be walking round Black Rock City like it’s all about the rock formations and not the formation of rock. Rocking out like WE started the fire. Haha. Good one, Universe!

Well, it is about time we thank our Black Ancestors for all those epic deep playa sunrises, with a little mass-gifting for the current and coming generations.

At the heart of Black Lives Matter, I see a handing over of leadership. I see an evolutional generational role-swap.

✊🏿 Black People are being called into power in their full glory!

👐🏻 White People / and in this case, Burners / we are being called into service.

So my proposal is, we give Black Rock City over where it belongs now, to Black People and the world at large — by putting our collective creative energy into supporting Black Lives! Let’s equip Black-led protest-parade-parties with our sound, our equipment, our moving stages. Let’s be celebrating how much Black Rocks! Let’s be making gorgeous new remixes on the original Black music that shaped ours. Let’s see what people in Black neighborhoods want to have happen, and how we can help build a rig for that… oh yes how many stages per block were you thinking, sir?

Because let’s be real. Between Coronavirus wiping out the normal way of life, and the George Floyd protests making way for what is becoming a new joyous lifestyle of nonstop options of where to meet up to march, bike, bring creative signs, dance, chant, and engage in shenanigans in the streets… surely needing to eat and drink along the way, well THIS is the life we know friends, by golly I think we could be of humble service!

Because let’s face it… we… mostly-White-People, do not run the streets! We humbly wish to serve the streets and support the true Black liberation: Setting up Free Snow Cone stands on the sidewalk, providing FunXion Ones, making napping Yurts, illuminating trees in the neighborhood, providing massages — provided we can make it covid-safe, and setting up tents for people who actually need a place to sleep and could use some help swanking our their situation, with water backpacks, fluffy blankets, a run to Wal-Mart please… you know.

Radical Inclusion happens in this case when we make a concerted effort to do so!

Burners, we have amassed a ridiculous amount of equipment, art structures, and knowledge…. The world has been perfectly shaped at this very moment to be able to allow ALL PEOPLE to have a taste of Burning Man in 2020!

Are ya with me??

On top of all this… let’s talk about the BLM!

Oh which BLM you wonder? Exactly.

Well, one BLM has been giving Burners a teeny bit of a hard time for a while now, as we bless that land with complete and utter ::magic:: each year!

The other BLM is the result of Black people being given a big hard time for a while now, just trying to live their best lives.

Let’s give our attention to the BLM that truly deserves our attention right now: Black Lives Matter!

We don’t need any one plot of land — — Burning Man is a state of mind and a lifestyle. It’s about making awesome creative use of spaces. It’s about dressing up fabulously to create the vibe. It’s about Free Stores. It’s about dancing anytime because we can. It’s about being in service.

Rangers, we’re gonna need you out there too, of course! Someone’s going to have to present the alternative to the Police system, and by golly if it isn’t us.

We don’t need to leave our very own locales to do this…. We just make it so — everywhere in the Multiverse.

Sooooo whatchyall think????

Fill out THIS GOOGLE DOC to get involved and let’s do this revolution proper!!

Love,

Surprise!

@ me @michellejoni

PS Huge loving shout out to my Camp, Black Rock Roller Disco, one of the few Black-led camps at all of Black Rock City! Love you Godfather David Miles Mama Cheryl Dunn Spark and fam, thank you for making my experience of Burning Man so very soulful. And I KNOW you’ve already been bringing that roller PermaPlaya vibe out in San Francisco since the DAY…. in the church, in the park, leading the way, as you do.

I have been using my technicolor future vision to shine light on the other side of this pandemic and be optimistic about the opportunity of this situation to regroup and rebuild into the world we want. I will continue to do this as best I can to be in service and do my part.

With every new report I am also deeply feeling the angst and depression and fear that is pervading society. The helpless feeling of wanting to protect our elders and the immunocompromised in something of an unfair survival of the fittest game. Extroverts are not getting their fix. So much hard work and passion has been halted and redirected. I feel for all those quarantined where you are emotionally triggered or unsafe or don’t have space. The chaos of hunger. This sudden loss of freedom and structure is a jolt to our systems individually and collectively. The unsureness of it all is pervasive.

But if we’re gonna take a look at this on a broad scale — here is what I see is ACTUALLY happening!

🌳Localization: Neighborly love. Peeps like “Maybe we should grow our own food…”

🌍Global cooling: We are finally chilling!

🧘🏼Shift of focus to self-care. Hello body!

🎭People are urged to find alternative means of entertainment and expression. Way to SHOW UP y’all!

🧻TP is such a rockstar right now, obviously reminding us that the bathroom is the best underrated spot in the house! To perform… to release… A stage, a sanctuary, a throne…

🤖Virtual connection is being optimized as we each figure out best practices for every situation faster than robots.

💃🏽I’ve never seen so many virtual dance parties!!!

📿if “Jesus is the Internet” — collective consciousness is collecting momentummm

💀Population is being controlled… sad and painful as this part is and will continue to be.

💰We’re seeing that Yang’s idea for Universal Basic Income is totally necessary. Money is being redistributed right now — let’s ride the wave and reweave how money works.

👯‍♂️The human race uniting quite beautifully in a way we haven’t seen before!

🔮We are in this together… aka creating this together.

👑Corona means CROWN! Evolution is reminding us this is the time we are supposed to be literally putting on our crowns. Royalty is a lineage, let us establish a new authentic royal society from these ashes! And dress the part. Even at home in PJs.

🏰With every structure under question, we have the chance to totally reinvent how we live.

🇺🇸We are creating the need for a parallel election! To reign and make it rain in the new world we’re creating. This political situation is obviously F’d. We’ll merge worlds in 2024… for now we’ve got all the chaos and creativity we need to bring people together harmoniously this year over SOMETHING….

🦠YOU GUYS, CORONAVIRUS IS THE BEST THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED TO US!!!! COVID-19. is here to move us forward, this is a call to all leaders, visionaries, and lightworkers to step up into your power and highest-self roles and ride the momentum! And I’m talking to myself! I feel like everything I’ve ever done or started or imagined has lead to this very moment…. aka an awkward surprise collapse of the world we thought we knew…. who else is feeling this??

😂Can you please continue this list in the comments — obviously starting with an emoji — with something amazing that is happening right now or your mega-optimistic prediction?!

Writing it like a 4th grader is totally fine. Now everybody go to your room!!!

SHOWING UP!! )’( …With 2020 poly-tricks, some newly released theories from the Joniverse, the present-dancy, and my overview plan to unfuck the world, unicorn style! As a follow up to my last article, Can We Make A Perma Playa, I figured might as well just lay it out and see who’s on board and your ideas 💭and feedback and resources and who thinks I’m totally fucking crazy and if so should we do it anyway probably. Instead of just making you guess what I’m thinking in the depths of my selfies…. step onnnn in!! It’s long, but not as long as the list of underlying problems to address, so…. it’s here if you’re ready to play.

Two days ago the #SHOWUP2020 social media S’port SysTM I started, the prompt I gave was posting a video, yesterday’s was to be VULNERABLE with your words about that which you WANT, today’s is to use social media to BRING JOY. Well I’ve been sick in bed mostly since then, which is no excuse really but I missed the mark on my own mischief, and so I’m triple-posting the shit out of it, with this e-lab ornate plan. Mwahahaha. Also sharing this selfie video of me biking thru Black Rock City, which is pretty much the video version of this! I had just come from a town hall style meeting about What Is Burning Man. I got up and talked about our civic responsibility and dutiful honor to carry the lifestyle off Playa in a real way. People were revved up and cheering about it and coming up to me after, because that’s what I’m talking about. And that’s what I wanted to talk about after leaving…

Let’s see what I said for 14 minutes and 14 seconds… and if I got chased by raccoons or not …… 🦨🦨🦨🦨

….so yeah. Whether you watch it now or after reading or never… long story shorts 🩳 we gotta Keep. The Burn. Going. And going! Mmmmmm. Wordplay irony pranks connection art loud music healing laughter synchronicity… Yes please more please!!!

Sometimes I feel dumb 🥺 at how passionate I am about my desire to make the whole world a fun place. I just literally can’t fathom that we’ve come this far 🥳 in human evolution to not be (almost) ready to chill and party and enjoy the beauty of life as a whole. Big thanks to all the capitalist 🤑 ventures, it’s really gotten us to a place with the world at our fingertrips and lots of nice pretty things, if we only knew how to use them!

So as we know the robots 🤖 are taking over all the jobs so we’re all gonna need other things to do with our days, and there’s no reason we can’t continue the lifestyle of love, outlandish outfits and light up bikes 🚴🏽‍♀️ on the reg! There are enough resources out there to make an abundantly artful life an actual reality, for all. Art supplies, art… Surprise! (Always remember that SURPRISE is my Playa name and I will continue to do it to you and myself)

I see a way there, really and truly. It’s alllll I see in my technicolor futurevision and I want to just lay out what I see needs to happen and can happen in a very short amount of time, starting this year in ‘🇺🇸Murica, then hatching comfortably into that sweet new paradigm globally🌺, over the course of the Twenties!

Very importantly, the way I see it, we need some form of Universal Basic Income to come out of this year’s election. $1000 a month for everyone, boom. YangGang is on the money 💰! — but if we can get 🤓Bernie as our candidate, I feel like he’d also be down to throw us all a monthly grand if everyone wanted it, ya know?? Andrew Yang thanks man for figuring out some MATH that this is even possible, like WTF? Maybe Trump could even somehow be down if worstttttt came to worse… it’s a good fucking idea and I think we gotta make a stink about this. I see a UBI implementation as crucial to quickly even the playing field for all people to have the opportunity to free up time and energy for self care and indulgence required to feel alive 🦚 and attend the dance parties that shall be thrown at noon down the block…. or at least take people out of the debt cycles that ruin people’s total sanity and degrade human dignity. BASIC, bitches.

So how do we do it? I’m glad you asked!

Whoever the candy dates are, and wherever we’re at, I believe we need some sort of unified cohesive movement to sweep the nation before the elections.

I believe the time between Burning Man and Election Day is OUR ONLY OPTION for attacky. It’s quite not an attack, it might be a little bit tacky with our outfits and all, but push comes to shh-love, we’re going to need an upriSing in that time! That’s September 7th — November 3 2020… A 55 day phenomenon that spreads to all 50 states that has never happened to make sure everyone is registered to vote, people demand their monthly grand for being so damn grand… or people can fight for their candidate without judgement…. and whatever is happening, everyone dances, and everyone is ::magically:: inspired to feel their own sovereignty and a new hope for something outside of their current systematic line of thinking.

I’m talking about and have BEEN talking about orchestrating something that will tickle the heart strings of anyone… black or white, red or blue, brown, round and those lost and found, shiny or rough… the rainbow can be blinding to those whose 3rd eyes remain shut but if presented with care and enough love and open arms, and actual people reaching out to hold actual hands! — it can transcend the barriers that keep us at bay from one another and even from our own hearts.

I either know or am in a few degrees of separation from what feels like all the best thinkers, innovators, and party and event producers in the world — and if we all could just align around perpetuating the awesomeness at once, it would be…. awesome.

So the idea is to meet at Burning Man to convene for the official start of the 50 State dissemination of Mass Enchantment! We shall…

🍄🎉 Gather the goody bags of sparkles and aromatherapy and stickers and love notes and fairy lights and crowns that we all contribute to… to pass out to as many people in the country as possible.

🚌🐲 We have to make sure all the art cars, busses and Mutant Vehicles participating in the 55 day parade of open source fun are street transformable and legal (y’all — get ready!) and also funded enough so that the MV owners and whatever team needed are paid for their time out in the streets bringing the party and the loooove.

🌴☀️We need camps to continue being campy AF in different capacities. Help pimp out a homeless camp, keep the vibes going in the park with the crew.

🥞💃🏼We need people and showing up for the neighborhood, grilled cheeses at 3, massages and music on the front lawn, mission notes and gifts on each other’s doorsteps, dancing in the streets, bringing our creative flair hard and enduringly until the ballots are closed. (Then maybe forever?)

🙌🏼💒 Heath Care for all? Yes please… starting with encouraging mandatory massages and proper touch…. to allaying mental health trauma with the elusive concept of TALKING TO PEOPLE in the world, on the train, on Chat Benches, in your own home. Bringing your healing modalities to the people is what we need. Yes we must tackle serious health care but we can also take care of each other so much better.

🏰🚀 While then central hub and starting point will be Burning Man, this applies to everyone who is in the spirit of it — it’s gonna be a nightmare for everyone who yearns to be there to get tickets… and there are a million reasons to not be able to make it to the burn, which is why Yearning Man (you wanting to be at BM whether you go or not!) is so valueable. What we WANT actually is what we are manifesting and here to create.

FUN!!!!! Ding.

🤑💸 Yes, will need a buncha millions of dollars to fund everyone’s asses and all those good intentions you have for your local community.. all those sexy DJs to play the daytime corner party… we need funds to provide foundational support and incentive for our extended ::magical:: nationwide family of makers and dreamers for a 2 month (trial) stint of bringing a Perma Playa to life, like a job. The more $ the merrier like any campaign… except we don’t pay tv stations for tv ads… we pay real people to bring the the live love in action, workshops included, as a lifestyle.

👯‍♀️💁🏾 This plan not only requires some significant central funding and masterful organization of chaos, but also requires individuals to commit to saving up to be able to devote to this for that time period….. and families and communities and friends rallying together to be creative and proactive. Possible? For you?

So how does JONI 2020 play into all this, you wonder? Because yes, I’m still running! — but it’s more like skipping. So I originally really did have intentions to throw myself into the current political ring for 2020 when I channeled that I absolutely am supposed to come into this kind of power and using my voice and sharing my ideas that big in 2020.

There are things I could have done to make an active presidential campaign happen, but I didn’t have it in me like that. Not enough spoons to save the day.

Because that wasn’t supposed to happen!

Marianne Williamson did an amazing “grownup thing” as she put it when I met her back on Easter… she ran for president with the instinct that moral goodness and the message of LOVE can prevail as our country’s compass. Today, MW renounced her candidacy and closed her campaign, leaving us in the reality that the world is just simply not ready for this kind of revolution or progressive candidate.

So to avoid the trap of losing, because I don’t like losing…. and because the world is clearly not ready for all of it at once…. the idea is — - that I am running for the PresentDancy. To make the world ready for it.

It’s like… a fantasy 🦄 election happening alongside the real one… but the fantasy is real…. because people can FEEL it.

In fact, everyone can run for the Present Dancy!! 🕺🏿 The Dance Party wants you. 👉🏽To dance. Let’s get you campaign stickers and all. YOU2020 forreal!

And I mean if anyone’s gonna be our PreSchoolidential new age superhero face of the psychestellic age…. let’s be honest it should probs be me. Vote for meeee by putting a Michelle Joni sticker somewhere awesome and joining the fun wave in your hometown or bathroom! Cast your vote for the PresentDancy with your own present dance. We can have Permanent ::magical:: Culture relatively shortly, but I only work if you do! I am here to say some things, be a little brash, fire back up all the playful projects I’ve ever started somehow, make you question your identity — and ultimately stand for everybody’s freedom, expression and living legend because that is the only way this all’s gonna happen — to enter our synchrodestiny!

I’d like to personally hit ALL 50 STATES in that time — with a caravan of music and art and dreamers and believers who believe that if we want a life everyone deserves we gotta show up somehow and be living it. It’s a PresentDancy CampCamp-aign and a cantcant fucking wait! Holy SHIT we’re alive!

With this concept we’re affirming there’s a New World Order of peace and grooooovy times and the infinite universal force of twerking that’s already here, that’s what we WANT….. in our days, and woven into our life plans…. and so they will inform and form into new systematic structures, rooted in our indigenous ways and infinite acceptance and fierce protection of and reconnection with our planet, all which are grooves being created more deeply in culture as we speak.

We don’t even have to do anything toooo differently because it’s also happening naturally! Y’all are doing such a good job with your soul work. We just need people showing up and sharing wisdom and gifts and what you know more. The political circus has done just fine all things considered and the whole thing can all continue awkwardly perpetuating problems that don’t need to exist and wars that go against the human spirit, system has some great work but let’s be honest we’ll be over here enjoying life…. throwing boatloads of money at public dance and art and mass healing modalities, slinging food and fun for everyone…. a world where sustaining an artist lifestyle is for ANYBODY because everyone is an artist!…. and then over the course of the next decade we’ll simply weave the rave into the White House, turn it rainbow with lasers for whoever is in office, and give gratitude to our forefuckingfathers who did the best the dang well could!!, and get to work aligning the prevailing system with the new emerging vibe, with liberty and just tits for all!

It’s gotta be VISCERAL. People’s hearts are barely pumping right now. Where is all the dancing and the rumble. I want to feel your heart beat!

So that’s what we gotta do. We gotta wake the world up viscerally with an onslaught of total awe, wonder, dancing, costumes, circus and connection… where it’s not a show… but an invitation. A mass gifting of color and sparkle and music and hope. A smile, a hug, a block party that doesn’t stop! For 55 days. That means we gotta be giving each other a lot of HIGH 5s out there ya hear me?!

We should be preparing ourselves not for the apocalypse, but for having massive amounts of FREE 🧜🏼 time for pleasures and 🧘🏼‍♀️pursuit. We should be making space for Permanent ::magical:: Culture!

As Permaculture means working with the natural currents of the land and climate to plan for optimal abundance of growth, think of Permanent ::magical:: Culture as working with the current culture times — which is basically spun around Capitalism and social media amirite — we have to work with these mighty forces in order to grow into the direction of our blissed up dreams. It also means working with our own natural human nature and abilities — taking advantage of the perks of being alive — like dancing, singing, sexmagic and doing cool things with your hair. Always remember: What you resist persists!

The very wise owner of this here ranch that I’m on so blessed to be at, gave me 3 areas to focus for my queries around saving the world in this fashion, and I want to share them here and leave you with this for now:

🧚🏻‍♀️ How to we take the fear out of the upper class?

🎈 How do we reawaken the inner child in people who forgot it was there?

🏘 How do we get neighbors connecting?

🌈🌈🌈 I’m looking forward to people’s questions and feedback on this line of thinking, of this general plan overview, what you see would need to happen to bring to fruition and who would want to help make it happen. What is clear what is not? There’s a lot more nuance and I guess the only way we can connect and get to all the pieces is to make it an open conversation with the very specific goal to unfuck the world. I feel so vulnerable putting this out because of all the ways to be called out or fail…. But my heart cant handle the alternative. So I’ll risk it all. This is what I believe for us and what keeps my blood pumping.

VOTE FOR ME!!! And most importantly, vote for you.

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💗

Love,

Michelle Joni

@michellejoni all over the wwwhirled

Join to SHOW UP daily on the internet if you’re called, because that’s what the world needs now!

I posted this in the Burning Man Facebook group earlier, and burners be wanting to share it, but can’t cuz it’s a private group. Sooo I decided to take things to a new medium. Welcome to my first Medium post, and the rest of your liiiiife! You are invited to…

***)’(*** TAKE THE PERMA-PLAYA-PLEDGE!

SURPRISE, here! I promised you Permanent ::magical:: Culture and I gotchyou boo…. I just need everyone’s help! The spectacular results of my 2019 Burn are in, and I’d be a bad person if I didn’t share this with you.

The world is complicated and messy rn, there are a lot of factors — all the factors actually — but I seriously have it under control and we are all doing just fine! There will be organic societal changes sparked by playfulness and snark, and everybody’s going to be happy about it.

�It will be a step by step process to unfuck the world… it’s a preschool-easy real life video game and I can’t tell you what all the levels are at once. Partially because I don’t know them all… I like surprises too!

I just know we need EVERYBODY’S help…

Starting NOW, BURNERS!

BURNERS and BURNERETTES: Your help is being enlisted to unfuck the world.

This applies to you whether you made it to Playa this year or not. Yearners, your desire is highly valuable! in fact, if you yearned to be there but couldn’t be, that’s even more powerful on some dimensions. I did Yearning Man for 5 years… It really builds up that desire-consciousness for what we want.. eeek or at least that’s how I can make sense of it…! Our imagination is the strongest force in the universe! Your suffering is not for naught. Plus, it’s going to be HELL for a lot of people to get Burning Man tickets next year, and I don’t wanna see you crying about it on the Burning Man Ticket Begging group the Friday before. this idea is TOO BIG to b contained to 70,000 people… so we better all make this thing happen on a somewhat permanent basis asapppppp!

We all have to keep our burn going! Sorry if you thought you could put away your shaggy jacket or sparkling captain hat, Captain. Did you give up gifting by Gerlach? Gosh. Did you accidentally twirl your bike lights off your bike and into storage? Honey this is the Star Age…! You still need them. We all need them. Everybody is counting on you. To put your lights. Back on. Your bike. Your bra. Your bro. Your entire block!

We must bring our ::magic:: off the playa!

We didn’t come this far as a species to fail. All forces of the universe are conspiring in our favor…. We know this because Burning Man exists ❤ And we dusty intrepid wackos are the guinea pigs. The time is NOW!

The big idea is to activate the grid of synchronicity that is so heightened on playa. If we can cohesively continue this ten principled wave on a global level, we will all meet the people we’re supposed to meet, fall into alignment and unfuck the world!

TAKE THE PERMA PLAYA PLEDGE

PPPlease pledge in the comments how you’ll continue your Burn in the default world.

I am probably going to make a google doc for this )or someone thats not me will start it!( but for now let’s just use the comments section so we can make public pledges and also keep an open conversation and share ideas.

************

So here’s a starter list of things you can do with anywhere from a little to a lot of effort, depending on how you look at it:

🚀I’ll start with continuing the conversation I already opened — ART CARS! As CEO of Burning Man Marian Goodell said at her opening talk Tuesday at the Pineapple Motel (the very first scheduled activity I did at BM, pictured above)… her favorite way to keep the Burn going is to keep the art cars going. Will you take your art car/Mutant Vehicle on the town at random (not just for parades and events, but also those)? Will you give your everyday car attributes of a mutant vehicle (ears, horns, rainbow lights that can turn on and off when needed?) Who needs a place to work on their vehicle? What support do you need to get it Street legal? Also, who wants to go on a big caravan tour in 2020?

👗Keep on keeping on with TuTuTuesday! Evolve into Ballgown Tuesday.

🧛‍♀️For the love of looks, don’t lock your burner gear away till next year! Don’t even hide it away until a decompression party. If you left all your burner clothes in a storage unit in Reno, I’m sorry but you’re going to have to go back and get it. There is no life dress code that bans crowns and allover print onesies and decadent robes or face paint. Literally every day is a chance to express through the visual, dress for the ancient future and awaken others to the fact that they can do the same. The way you dress actually changes how you think! It’s called Enclothed Cognition. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk. For real tho.

🤖Do you own a company or have power to influence the office dress code? Put mandatory dress up days on the calendar, and not just Halloween. Maybe once a week! Or every day? Have people come in character and use that character’s powers to help them in their work. Insist they wear their costumes to and from work. Someone try this and see how it goes. I can help.

🚇The Caboose Project! What if cabooses were the fun cars of trains — where people can go for the non-stare-at-phone ride. Activated with dance parties, connection games, educational talks and strange activities! Start one renegade or connect with local transit authorities to start the movement.

🚲Definitely keep your bike decorated! Already dismantled the lights and fur? You can dust it off and try again. Make it even MORE glorious this time around! And beyond that — how can you help more people connect with their unrequited art on wheels fantasies? Connect with your local Bike Rental places — see if they’ll let you/even hire you to decorate some bikes so people can choose the fun ones… and let’s see what happens. Or — Hold a bike decor-impression party!

🏡Your homes… don’t wait till Christmas put lights up! Puh-lease. Unleash the garden gnomes. Deck the walls. Keep your playa art in your front yard. Set up CAMP in your front yard. Let’s go!

🥳Start a Skipping Club! Or just go skipping. I used to hold weekly skips a la Michelle Joni’s Skipping Club. — with dress up themes around all different neighborhoods of NYC. It’s da bomb! If anyone would like to start up a club by you I will be thrilled to chat and tell you everything I know! Or just do it your way. SKIP anytime. Skipping cultivates an inner child deepening immediately — both for the skipper and observer… this is helpful as we must collectively tap into our inner child wisdom.

🕺🏾Hold mini dance parties on a street corners. A medium-loud portable speaker and 2–3 people dancing in a way that invites others to join (a sign that says join The Dance Party as you pass by!) will keep the streets fresh and useful.

🎁Keep the gifting going! Make it a daily habit to give things to strangers and friends — snacks, stickers, jewels, inspirational notes, things you don’t want or need anymore.

🙌🏼Offer massages in public parks. Teach people how to massage each other in public parks.

👋🏽Start a Handjobs for the Homeless operation! …this was Malderor’s idea! In “BRC: The Pinnacle Of Pointlessness,” his poignant article in BRC Weekly. And what a great idea it was. People need touch. People need to cum! These hand jobs can include consent talks and quick visceral lessons in how to operate in the world as a divine sexual being. The people need to know.

🍍Be the PINEAPPLE MOTEL

Did you know? Pineapples used to symbolize royalty… a prized fruit to have at the table or in the house! Then, as the story goes, sailors used to go out into the world and come back with exotic fruits — especially the pineapple. The sailors would leave a pineapple on their front doorstep to let the neighborhood know they are back, and to come knock! The pineapple then humbled and became the symbol for hospitality, welcoming people, letting people know they had a safe place to have friends, and rest their head. I placed a pineapple in the temple this year so I think some energy has shifted around it….

SO — what if we all started to take on the Pineapple System… if we if put a pineapple outside our door (lit up and decorated, perhaps) you are welcome to knock! What if we held space in our sturdy, life-sustaining, air-conditioned living rooms like we did in our bell tents? Grilled Cheeses Wednesdays at 3, tea time Sunday night. Aren’t strangers just friends we haven’t made yet? Maybe you pass out a memo that lets your neighbors know if the pineapple is outside your door, they can knock! Inform them of your offerings. And it can spread. 🍍🍍🍍

Also: Who has funds to sponsor people to live their burn? Money is one of the main prohibiting factors so if we can pool together a bunch of tens/hundreds of millions, we can unleash the masses.

….. There is WAY MORE where this came from…. Just had to get it out of me and into you so I know where people are at with these things and how I can help and who is down for what.

Make your PERMA PLAYA PLEDGE (PPP) in the comments and let’s get this party started!

(To p) Continued…

Love,

Surprise!

née Michelle Joni

PS I’m going to be hitting a bunch of decompressions to make sure nobody’s falling into a depression because you think it’s over… AND to collect PERMA PLAYA PLEDGES in person!

Who wants my help / who wants to help other playa personnel make a personalized plan for their cosmic extensions into the infinite playa that lies ahead of us?

I’ll be at:

• Santa Barbara Decom this Saturday
• - NYC Sept 28 Decom at the Knockdown Center.
• Where else are we decomming… ?

PPS If we playa our cards right I’ll be the first unicorn president come 2020 and then we won’t need a president, just the present dance! The CAMPaign is all about aigning CAMPS…. just sayin…. 🦄✨🌈🎪🌟

PPP-S: Started making a tri-fold presentation on this ish for decom… these first ten ideas must be the commandOments!
