What if in the afterlife there is no wifi and all we can do is talk to each other about how much we miss everybody?

A portrait of us fucking called Woman as Disappearing Act. The secret behind this trick is that I don’t feel anything. Go ahead, try it. Slip a white rabbit in and pull whatever / you want out.

Bit down my fingernails I had painted a color I thought you might like gripping your cock. Sweet Daisy to be exact. Thought about life then thought about waiting it out, bled until I didn’t inside a pink room with stained carpets & retail landscapes on the wall. Out the window, a winter where what comes next is also winter, your trench coat hanging off my arms. Look – no hands. A portrait of us fucking called Woman as Disappearing Act. The secret behind this trick is that I don’t feel anything. Go ahead, try it. Slip a white rabbit in and pull whatever / you want out.

It apparently takes four researchers and a new study of 487 men to confirm what radical feminists have always said- men masturbate to sadism against women and then act it out on yet more women: ”We argue pornography creates a sexual script that then guides sexual experiences. To test this, we surveyed 487 college men (ages 18-29 years) in the United States to compare their rate of pornography use with sexual preferences and concerns. Results showed the more pornography a man watches, the more likely he was to use it during sex, request particular pornographic sex acts of his partner, deliberately conjure images of pornography during sex to maintain arousal, and have concerns over his own sexual performance and body image. Further, higher pornography use was negatively associated with enjoying sexually intimate behaviors with a partner. We conclude that pornography provides a powerful heuristic model which is implicated in men’s expectations and behaviors during sexual encounters.” http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25466233 Pornography is violence against women- the intersection of white male supremacist capitalism. Let’s dismantle it. http://womensliberationfront.org/ Image: Feminist protest of “Deep Throat”, starring Linda Boreman as “Linda Lovelace”. Linda would later go public with the abuse she suffered at the hands of her husband Chuck Traynor, which pushed her into the film. Linda became an anti-pornography activist.

This is the year you begin. Slip into the sweet mud. Get dirty. Stay dirty. There is nothing to forgive.

things to call people you HATE

easy bake oven

expired coupon

spam email

wet sock

squeaky grocery cart

inconvenient fire drill

cold bowl of soup

itchy sweater

unnecessary movie sequel

overdraft bank fee

crying baby on a plane

wobbly table

sun glare when I’m driving just before sunset and I have to put my sun visor down because I forgot my sunglasses but I’m still really uncomfortable and it’s just a big hassle all around

Kate Durbin, “no panties.”

[moca]

Through literature, scholarship, and digital curation, Los Angeles-based artist and writer Kate Durbin examines how identity is created online. Of particular interest to Durbin are the communities right here on Tumblr, where users tailor constellations of images and content to wear like bespoke suits. 

Clad herself in custom-made overalls to promote her new book E! Entertainment, a collection of stories and poems based on reality TV transcripts, Durbin curates three videos that toy with the relationship between popular culture and digital media.

Through a banned David Hasselhoff Carl’s Jr. commercial, Lady Gaga reenactment, and footage of a crazy night for Britney Spears and the paparazzi, Durbin reveals the “impossibility and absurdity” of pretending celebrities are just like us.

My poem, “Lana Del Rey Intervenes When She Notices I’ve Stopped Writing About My Ex” was just published over at Rattle! If you listen to the audio recording, you can hear my little impression of Lana too.

The first time somebody called me

a slut, I was not present. I was somewhere wet

being a mermaid. I was busy with black magic,

being burned alive for the sound of my voice

in a sailor’s conch ear. I was the conch,

an island delicacy. I heard you fuck with your eyes

open, I heard you...
