Unfinished List of Goofy Things Spoken or Talked...
1. That gif Owen posted the other day of Derrick Rose giving Lebron the best look ever in the history of looks on the internet.
2. I sang “You’ve got me feeling emotions, deeper than I’ve ever dreamed of” and fucked up the second sequence and said something about mountains or oceans and then paused, half said “Mariah” and moved on to the next step of effective...

Anti-___________
Endlessly fascinated by anti-intellectualism. Nothing new but the opening lines of the review on Cindy Sherman’s retrospective at the MOMA in the Times feels pretty hackneyed:
There are several conclusions to be drawn from the Museum of Modern Art’s magnificent if somewhat flawed survey of Cindy Sherman’s brilliant career. But one of them is surely that reports of the death of the author...

On queers and amateur art collecting
whateverjeanne:
I buy queer art whenever I can. It’s important to me to collect queer art and make room for it in my queer house and my queer life. We keep each other company. And because I write about queer, trans and feminist art and artists it’s especially meaningful to me. It’s about value and processes of valuation, and taking control of how value is assigned across bodies and aesthetic...

Tim Miller Workshop Cancelled at Villanova...
Tim is a friend and is one of the nicest men and kindest souls I’ve ever met. He’s been touring the university circuit for the last six or seven years performing, teaching and leading workshops all over the country. He’s one of the NEA Four and writes and talks about being gay and living in the USA. He’s an ardent supporter of ACT UP. He gets naked, a lot. His work is...

Friday at work, all weekend long
I sat in the hallway outside my 8:00AM class this morning talking T. through the next presentation. She works with the horses cops and tourists use to move through the city. Her hair hangs in a pile of deep red ringlets. She’s more awkward than anyone else in class. Born in Russia and adopted at 3 months by a couple in the Village. Dad makes documentaries and mom is a psychoanalyst. She was...

Diamanda Galás' Statement on Whitney Houston's... →
theoreticalgirl:
I mourn the death of Whitney Houston, whom I adored. Her incomparable voice, which influenced almost every R&B and pop singer worldwide, her stage presence, which no one can touch, and her beauty, tough and sweet, moved me. Whitney … Whitney … was put back onstage before she was ready to perform - by the colossal pig Clive Davis - who continued his party in the same hotel...

Tributes to Things I've Forgotten
During the summer between my fifth and sixth grade year I moved with my Mother, stepfather, and sister from Stony Brook, Long Island to Virginia Beach, Virginia. It was our 3rd move in 3 years. Divorce. As the new kid in a school of students that had spent 7 years together I had my work cut out for me. Early on I got beat up in P.E. behind the baseball field by Tom Horvath and Chris DeNunsio on...

Adult Goth
This morning one of my students, an 18 year old woman from Columbia, told the class her favorite band was Garbage and I practically tripped over my combat boots and old eyeliner to battle rap lyrics with her.

This morning I stepped into a sunrise burst in flames like grandmother’s garden and all I could do was think of you and slowly watch two trains pass me smoldering on the yellow edge of the platform.

Dissonance
Abuse of Lana Del Ray comes as no surprise.
Bon Iver worship comes as no surprise.
Authenticity is a pose.

One aspect of living with intense anxiety that I have the most trouble coming to terms with is coping with the behavior or decisions anxiety affects, not just the anxiety itself.
