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.
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, artists, and heretics are brought together at in-person and virtual events across BLAXXKY’s network. 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.
BLAXXKY depends on your paid membership subscriptions for now. Podcasts and select posts are always free.

The Fine Print on Luminary Benefits
Luminary members who signed up in 2025 or 2026 receive two print magazine issues plus a BLAXXKY tote bag. Starting in 2027, membership includes four issues per year.
The BLAXXKY Signal chat group and ability to participate in live podcast recordings will launch June 1st, 2026.
Since Substack doesn’t collect addresses, fulfillment runs through a separate platform and a shipping fee may apply. More details coming in April 2026 once we select our printing partner. First issue ships around June-August 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.
The Zine
Periodically we release a free zine collecting older posts and new material, distributed as a PDF on torrent and p2p networks. Digitally signed, it exists as a censorship-resistant archive of our work in case anyone decides they don’t like what we’re saying.
The zine is a nod to the old tradition, think Extropy and the zines that shaped futurist thought. Selected reader comments, posted here, emailed to mail@blaxxky.com, or dropped into the p2p networks where the zine lives, are included as a kind of letters to the editor. Commenters who want anonymity are encouraged to use secure, untraceable email.
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.
