Our Lord of the Flowers

In this episode, Mx Viper offers a sharp dispatch from the edge of queer authorship in the age of generative AI. It’s a meditation on labor, consent, consumer advocacy, and digital rights. This is not an anti-AI rant. It’s a call for clarity, better protections for consumers, and for resistance that begins with embodiment.

You’ll hear about:

• How creators, artists, and regular consumers of digital products and services are being scraped and mimicked without consent

• How Mx Viper navigates AI tools like Midjourney with transparency

• Why real photos—real bodies—matter more than ever

• Why tweaking privacy settings on platforms like Instagram and Bluesky can support harm reduction

• What it means to refuse algorithmic exploitation while still making art

• Ways to take action

Welcome to the re-enchanted version of Our Lord of the Flowers, a podcast by Mx Viper—also known as Cesar Torres—where queer futurism, literature, and living myth come into bloom.

In episode, Mx Viper reintroduces the show with a lyrical manifesto that sets the tone for what’s to come. This is not just a podcast revival—it’s a spell. A signal. A body remembering its voice. You’ll hear about:

• Why the show is changing—and what it’s becoming

• How Cesar’s work across fiction, photography, and fashion are all limbs of the same creative beast

• What it means to live and embody myth as a queer artist

• How to step into the full multiverse of the work

And don't worry, the sexy spandex and gear content you heard in past versions of this show will still be available on the Patreon.
