Frat Boy Fucking his gf on the roof at stanford.

the republicans use of the legistlaive branch to get around the free access gaurenteed by roe vs wade, and its use of states rights, is masterful, and the democrats should learn from it.

the last original member of the mattachine society, one of two which did not come from the hard left, has died at the age of 82. Gruber is an interseting case study because of his growing up in des monies, and moving west. as well, his illustrated autobiography, which told his story via media choices, strikes me as one of the lost gay texts.

the joyce scholar carol schloss won a judgement against his estate, which might make further scholarship easier to finish.

amazing spoken word peice on trans gendered genitalia, with he killer first line my vagina perfers male pronouns--makes the trans pronoun beautiful and life affirming.

david made me win an award

misogyny in the open source community,

this story about DF Wallace and self help lit is one of the strongest and most difficult about how the self contsructs and attempts to correct for depressive behaviour--i have a different set of texts then wallace, and am not as open and am more cynical, but this working out what it means to be extenstially sad, with a book in one hand a pencil in the other is ntense.

the national pigeon fanciers annual awards.

great ashberry interview about his translation of illuminations--which is interesting, an elderly gay man at the end of a conserative and stable life, working thru a text by a radical sexual dissident at the v. beginning of a life that would mostly not be about poetry.

namazu is a catfish who lives beneath toyko, if he is not appeased, or if he notices that the world is unbalanced, or if the god who is supposed to be looking after him, is away, he wakes and causes massive trouble--the multilayred social and policial implications of this were elucidated by print makers and writers in the edo peroid, after the great toyko earthquake of 1855. Many were made in the two months of the quake, but were later destroyed due to strong censorship. Theese are a collection of that which remained.

james stirling was a birtish architecht who vernacualised corbu style modernism v. early, he also made gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous, models...CCA in montreal has a show of them. go see them like now.
