Auric Abolition

A philosophical and ethical framework dedicated to ending relational, cultural, and systemic patterns that leave people feeling emotionally, psychologically, creatively, or spiritually depleted. Auric Abolition seeks to cultivate relationships grounded in consent, reciprocity, dignity, and restoration so that individuals and communities can flourish.

Auric Abolition begins with the premise that every person deserves relationships and environments that honor their inherent worth and capacity for renewal. Using the "aura" as a metaphor for a person's inner vitality, identity, and sense of wholeness, the framework calls for dismantling conditions that normalize chronic extraction, coercion, manipulation, or exploitation.

Rather than focusing only on preventing harm, Auric Abolition is committed to creating systems that actively regenerate well-being. It emphasizes that communities become healthier when care, creativity, emotional labor, and leadership are shared through mutual consent, transparency, accountability, and equitable exchange.

Auric Abolition asks individuals and institutions alike to examine where patterns of depletion exist and to replace them with practices that restore trust, strengthen relationships, and support long-term flourishing.
Auric Abolition is the next phase of abolitionist work with language and context that honors multidimensional beings and others who are being oppressed by colonization of bodyminds, the land and heirarchical power structures.

Hair spider

A tight, tangled knot of loose hair and lint that forms inside clothing during the clothes dryer cycle. It typically hides inside garments, causing an annoying lump or a phantom tickling sensation against the skin until it is found or falls out onto the floor during folding.

abandonware 

n. software that is no longer sold or supported by the original publisher / developer, often found as free downloads on the internet because it cannot be obtained elsewhere. Not legal, but often seen as morally acceptable because the company that made it is no longer selling the title, nor releasing it as freeware, therefore abandonware is "keeping the game alive", so to speak.
Doom II is not abandonware because id still sells it, while The Incredible Machine is not sold, therefore is abandonware.
