About BLAXXKY
BLAXXKY is a media project and print magazine exploring the intersections of the future, space, the weird, and unknown, led by founders and editors Yalda Mousavinia and Giulio Prisco.
We broadcast from the fault lines of meta/fysiks, techne, philosophy, and lived anomaly. Signals converge here without always resolving. Divergent perspectives held in tension, tuned toward contemplation, discovery, expansion.
High Quality Weirdness is our motto. We are inspired by Mondo 2000, Extropy, and the Whole Earth Catalog.

BLAXXKY is the name of our publication, distributed digitally and in print as a magazine (with curated selections appearing in the print edition). Each magazine orbits a specific convergence of ideas, explored through long-form interviews, independent research, lived experience, and experimental discourse. The first issue is an exception, mapping the full breadth of BLAXXKY’s terrain. Larger cross-topic issues will appear periodically.
Selected reader comments, posted here or emailed to mail@blaxxky.com are included as a kind of letters to the editor. Commenters who want anonymity are encouraged to use secure, untraceable email.
BLAXXKY Superluminal is our audio/video podcast, the moving, breathing extension of the magazine, traveling faster than ordinary discourse into the intersections of the future, space, the weird, and unknown. Some Superluminal outputs crystallize into print. Others spread through the aether.
Parallel Artifacts preserves what happens when thinkers, builders, and artists are brought together at in-person and virtual events across BLAXXKY’s network, along with the journal entries Stella R. Magnet wrote before our phase transition into a print magazine. The actual signal of the moment, documented and released raw and unpolished (for the most part).
BLAXXKY as Label — we are also a creative label, co-creating, producing, or publishing original film, music, books, multimedia projects, clothing, accessories, and more at the edges of the future, weird, and unknown. We collaborate with artists whose work wants to exist somewhere between document, artifact, transmission, and art object.
As of October 2, 2026, we've removed the paywall from BLAXXKY. We felt this change was necessary: we want these ideas to travel as far as possible, and that means lowering the barrier to entry for anyone drawn to this subject matter. The only exceptions are a few of Stella R. Magnet's older, stream-of-consciousness journal entries. Since they don't reflect our new editorial direction, they stay in the vault, open only to Luminaries (founding members). For now, BLAXXKY runs on paid memberships, so every member is helping keep the signal free for everyone else.
We also sell the print magazine to help fund our operations, but the PDF edition is free. Each issue will be released as a PDF zine here and across torrent and p2p networks. Digitally signed, each one serves as a censorship-resistant archive of our work in case anyone decides they don't like what we're saying. Feel free to print it and pass it around. Just don't sell it. (That said, if you can, we'd love for you to buy the print magazine. It helps us do a lot more.)

The Fine Print on Luminary Benefits
Luminary members who signed up prior to Oct 1, 2026 receive two copies of the BLAXXKY #1 print magazine plus a BLAXXKY tote bag.
Since Substack doesn’t collect addresses, fulfillment runs through a separate platform and an extra shipping fee may apply. More details coming in December 2026 once we select our printing partner. First issue ships around March 2027 (but this may change or be delayed as BLAXXKY is currently a highly bootstrapped operation).
BLAXXKY Signal chat groups and ability to participate in live podcast recordings will launch November 2026.
Note: The prices above are in USD. Substack internationalizes when you subscribe.
Superluminal Catalyst
Superluminal Catalyst will be BLAXXKY's open science and open source grants pool, seeding projects at the intersections of technology, science, and the future. Fundraising has not yet begun.
Luminary and above members will be eligible to apply. Superluminal members can help define the request-for-proposals, participating in monthly prioritization meetings that shape which projects receive funding.
Superluminal Catalyst will be funded through BLAXXKY’s future creative multimedia projects, where in many cases, 20% of proceeds are directed by the creator toward pools of their choice. More details will be shared in the coming months, after we activate our multimedia projects.
Black Sky Society
BLAXXKY is also a transmission zone for something still forming: Black Sky Society.
The real-life community is dormant. Its spirit lives here, inside the media network and inside a science fiction universe where Black Sky Society exists.
The plan is to build the aesthetics, metaphysics, and cultural scaffolding as fiction first, here on BLAXXKY. Once the foundation is solid, a real society will emerge from it. This is fact, not speculation.
Why that order? Online communities collapse when people can’t agree on fundamentals. Shared metaphysical orientation is load-bearing. Black Sky Society will eventually emerge and will be united around a common, evolutionary metaphysical (metafysikal) framework with room for maybe three distinct branches. Coherence over breadth.
Fiction builds worlds. Worlds attract people. People become society.
