Are there any costs connected to this? If it was mentioned in the post, I'm truly sorry as I read it quickly.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on June 13, 2026, 07:53:49 PM@Filipe Marujo still interested in joining the Kingdom? I see there was a petition but it somehow fell off the radar.
It needs to be seconded.

Recommendation for Membership


Your essay's central thesis is fascinating, not an area I could have spoken to, and sheds light on Diasporic Coping Mechanisms that I had never considered. I can, however, speak to the "absence-guilt", having felt it myself when my grandparents died. My Nana died 4 months before I attained citizenship, and her funeral was the day I left for my gap year, and I was unable to attend. It is heartening to me that this is not just something I feel but indeed is part of cultural and spiritual practice in cultures I am not even familiar with, truly eye and soul soothing to me.
Autoethnography is often a fascinating form of study, and in terms of this society's future work, it offers an accessible yet meaningful alternative to wider academic forms of phenomenology. Our pool of potential participants is relatively small, but it offers greater insight than many quantitative studies can capture.
I do, however, have some Peer Review Feedback.
Although not a failing in writing, I do feel that the ontological or philosophical alignment between the specific drumming tradition and the Bon Odori may not quite be clear. To elevate this past the risk of aesthetic extraction, the paper needs to briefly explain if/how these two traditions share a common understanding of rhythm as a spiritual portal or community anchor. Speaking as a media academic, the drum beat and its representation and use in such applications as horror is often used to represent the heartbeat and the feelings on an automatic level of the characters being portrayed, fast for high tension, slow for despair, etc. There is something primal about this, and I'm sure transcendent across many cultures; I just feel that your essay should attempt to state it outright.

To conclude, I find your paper to be an excellent fit for the society. Your qualitative research methods, somatic studies, and advocacy for a structural shift away from sedentary, silent, and internalised sorrow toward active, expressive, and cross-cultural physical performance is truly inspiring. The Talossan culture as a whole lacks some of our funary traditions, and this could be explored further in future study and an opportunity to look into how we might learn from other cultures, considering the diasporic nature of our nation.

I, therefore, as President of The Royal Society for the Advancement of Knowledge, Commend to the peers of this society and call upon its members to second my nomination for Crement Itravilatx to join our ranks as Senior Fellow, having offered a paper as their form of lecture and having attained at least a 2-year college degree. What say we?

I'm back fully, and I've processed the week's immigration applications; today I'll also get the announcement out about the PMPA and TalossAssistants.  Sorry about the delay.  Thank you for everyone's well wishes.

Thank you again for running TCAT!  Always a blast, and it makes me the only person in my friend group who knows who people like Vingegaard are!
