Work In Progress

[Joyce] arrived drunk and poorly dressed; Proust, draped in furs, opened the door.

The DAPL news is definitely something to be proud of but don’t think that the work is done. Jan Hasselman, who serves as an attorney for the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, said that the Energy Transfer Partners can still sue this decision, and Trump can try to overturn it. This is a lengthy process that will takes years (with a better explanation why below) and we need to watch it as decisions are made. Remember the pipeline is still being built and it’s going somewhere.

[Text reads: I do admin law for a living so let me explain how this corps decision plays out. The refusal to grant the easement stop the pipelines… for now. Trump could easily reverse it. But, the decision to order an EIS delays the pipeline for at least several years. If Trump orders the corps to stop the EIS process, several groups will sue, arguing that the reversal is arbitrary and capricious. And they will likely win, which means the EIS will be completed. That takes 2+ years. If the EIS ultimately recommends the same of similar route, several groups will sue, delaying it for 2+ more years. 1 year for suit in federal court, and 2 more year for appeal. Bottom line: decision to order an EIS that Trump probably cannot force a pipeline through same/similar route for 4+ years.]

We also have to remember that many water protectors are still going to be needing help with medical and legal funds so keep an eye out how to still help.

Unrequited love was, at that period of my life, the only kind I seemed to be capable of feeling. This caused me much pain, but in retrospect I see it had advantages. It provided all the emotional jolts of the other kind without any of the risks, it did not interfere with my life, which although meagre, was mine and predictable, and it involved no decisions.

Trauma impels people both to withdraw from close relationships and to seek them desperately. The profound disruption in basic trust, the common feelings of shame, guilt, and inferiority, and the need to avoid reminders of the trauma that might be found in social life, all foster withdrawal from close relationships. But the terror of the traumatic event intensifies the need for protective attachments. The traumatized person therefore frequently alternates between isolation and anxious clinging to others. […] It results in the formation of intense, unstable relationships that fluctuate between extremes.

“To be diagnosed with caffeine withdrawal, a patient must experience at least three of five symptoms within 24 hours of stopping or reducing caffeine intake: headache, fatigue or drowsiness, depressed mood or irritability, difficulty concentrating, and flulike symptoms such as nausea or muscle pain.”

…I haven’t had any coffee since Sunday and I’ve been experiencing every single one of these symptoms, especially splitting headaches, extreme fatigue, and muscle pain. These are all things I experience often but it only just clicked that caffeine withdrawal could be the source of their increased frequency and intensity. Currently drinking coffee and hoping it helps

Update: my headache is gone! Goddess bless coffee. Why did I leave her for so long? Never again.

…from RIVERDYKE’s new Submissions guidelines:

“Post any and all pictures of you and your gay self taken outside the bedroom/bathroom. I, for example, am a canvasser who pats many dogs, so on this blog you’ll see me on bougie streetcorners, patting dogs. If you are real sweet I’ll post a picture of you taken in one of those rooms, but we’re going for adventure dyke here! But real talk, this is about winning the war of ideas against twerps and showing the younger generation of transes how fucking brill their futures can be - even if we don’t feel unequivocally great about everything in our lives, we can still build power with each other through celebrating our successes. You must be amab trans, because trans lesbians are everything :D”

Jenny Holzer, Times Square Sign, 1982

The language of Truisms, obdurate and internally consistent, heralded a voice that is striking not least for its paradoxical anonymity. Truisms pull no punches and as the title suggests, seem to reflect wisdom long since received.

Hal Foster, writing in 1982, called Trusims “verbal anarchy in the streets.” For Holzer, “language is the site of pure conflict.” The Trusims as a whole express a simple truth: that truth is created through contradictions.“ In an article that linked Holzer with Barbara Kruger, Foster cited Roland Barthes, articulating that, both artists, follow Barthesian precepts to the extent that they “accept the status of art as a social sign engaged with other signs”. And they both embody Barthes’ notion of the writer, which as Barthes described, is “not the possessor of a function or the servant of an art, but the subject of praxis. Someone who must have the persistence of a watcher who stands at the crossroads of all other discourses. The quality of these statements that has most attracted critical attention is how difficult they make it for readers to determine their author’s position. Holzer stated ” I wanted to highlight those thoughts and topics that polarize people, but not choose sides.“

Holzer summarized in 1990. “I hope”, she concluded. “that my work is useful.”

Some people have a softness that draws water from the earth. Call it dream. Call it flight. The opening & closing of your eyelids, like sparrow wings beckoning the trees. The music of your bones, startling spring from the earth, the dazzle of your smile squeezing honey from the bees. You are kinder than the cruelest thing that’s ever been done to you. You are so good, bad people are ready to break every cruel word over their knee. You are so good, lazy people line up to be the coffee-mug at your mouth. The religious talk about the second coming & you talk your shadow into starlight. If you asked the clouds for shade the sky would split itself like apple. If you asked me to cut out my heart I would do it with my own knife.
