New Years resolution: less bitter more glitter
Female archaeologist: Maybe women in the Paleolithic made art
Some asshole: Um :) Sweetie :)) Actually women have only ever had value as baby-making machines and men created everything in the archaeological record :) It’s totally a coincidence that the dominant interpretations of the distant past replicate & implicitly validate my modern biases :))
When you don't know anything about linguistics: The plural of "memorandum" is "memoranda", why can't people get it right
When you know a little about linguistics: The plural of "memorandum" should just be "memorandums" because that's how people naturally say it, "memoranda" is just prescriptivism
When you know a lot about linguistics: Oh my god? So certain English words borrowed from Latin and Greek have competing plural forms, with one form using the English plural -s and the other using a borrowed Latin or Greek form? Do you realize how crazy that is - a language borrowing *inflectional morphology* from another language? And here the two competing plural forms have become markers of education, expertise, and social class, isn't that incredible?
When you have a degree in linguistics and dgaf anymore: memorandibles
sometimes i forget how many times i’ve picked myself off the floor, how many times i’ve washed away smudgy makeup and put myself to bed. how many times i’ve said no to something unhealthy. said yes to something good. how many times i’ve treated myself with kindness and patience. i forget how many times i’ve tended to wounds and made peace with my own anger. if i was taking care of a body that was not my own, i’d believe i was doing everything i could. so here’s to remembering that i’m doing the best i can.
You have a right to come out of trauma uglier and meaner and angrier and less forgiving. And being a “bad survivor” does not impinge upon your validity as a survivor or how deserving you are of care, healing and recovery. Grow claws and fangs, hate the people who hurt you, hold on to your grudges ‘til your grave, never forgive and never forget if that’s what you need. And don’t let anyone judge or shame you for what gives you that scrap of safety, or security, or healing, that the cruelty of others had denied you.

Tbh I’m getting increasingly suspicious of mainstream media’s endorsements of social justice rhetoric
I’m getting increasingly suspicious of how the media focuses its sj discourse around privilege and microaggressions (which suck, don’t get me wrong, but they’re symptoms of centuries of historical violence.. they aren’t the sources of the real problems)
I see this, I see places like buzzfeed and other avenues of pop culture fixating on “privilege” as a sort of luck system where society rewards people for being born a certain way, but in the explanations, the means by which this happens are always mysterious and vague. There’s a refusal to name anyone as active agents within a system, or to admit that these systems materially benefit some at the expense of others… its always treated as some weird rpg stat system where being white gives you +5 ability to find a job, rather than an actual hierarchy of supremacy where people subjugate others for power and resources.
It’s always compressed, made into easy problems with easy solutions. Here are 12 things you shouldn’t say to a black person. Make sure to not say Racist Things. You may have been born into privilege but it’s okay, just accompany yourself with POC of color™ and don’t say the Racist Things and by being nice, you can somehow(?) help weaken institutional racism… or something.
So it focuses on these small, specific manifestations of oppression instead of more direct forms of violence that would require a huge change to fix… stuff like, for example, the entire prison system. That’s not something that anyone could individually change by Saying The Right Things. It would require collective, organized action of a radical (or possibly even revolutionary) nature.
I’m weary of the way capitalism absorbs radical thought and repurposes it, creating simulacra wherein no real change is actually required.

THIS IS THE FUTURE I’M SO EMOTIONAL I HAVE TEARS IN MY EYES
Why hasn’t this existed for years???
[csa, incest, ra] Because sexual abuse often takes place at night when the child is between sleep and waking consciousness, the masking of the perpetrator’s true identity is facilitated by the darkness as she becomes most vulnerable in her bed amidst the shapes and shadows which signal danger and intrusion. With the masking of the perpetrator’s identity, a distorted reality emerges out of the trauma of victimization, a distortion which, according to Karin Meiselman, contains “glimmerings of repressed material.” The form and imagery that these distortions take vary across survivors and are influenced by the sociocultural environment of the incestuous family. […] The psychiatrist Catherine Schieve has described this phenomenon as a “reversion to magic” among abused children whose belief in the supernatural is a creative and imaginative response to victimization. It is significant to note that the demonization of the incest perpetrator, as described here by respondents, is reminiscent of descriptions of the devil found in the witchcraft confessions of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Reading these confessions, one is reminded of the screen memories reported by the respondents. For example, H. R. Trever Rope discusses the confession of Francoise Fontaine, a young peasant girl in France who spoke of the devil entering her room at night, of his cold touch, and her own helplessness against his assaults. This confession, given voluntarily without threat or torture, contains many of the elements of spirituality, evil, fear, and violence that are found in the reports of contemporary survivors.

I get wary and uncomfortable about anything that uses the term ‘screen memories’ unquestioningly, but I am trying to countenance this, trying to work through something about metaphor and memory and how we can hold all these conflicting truths at once:
- this happens, this use of the imagination, this metaphor-as-making-meaning-out-of, and we must honor it, as this text somewhat does, as creative, as productive, as resilience and strength
- but sometimes, as the use of ‘screen memory’ implies, it becomes necessary to somehow move past the metaphor and acknowledge…the concealed reality?
- yet there is no way to divide metaphor from reality as if they had independent existence, the metaphor is the reality, there is no pure, untouched memory which can be peeled away
- and what you remember is your reality, if you remember magic, if you remember demons, that is what you experienced in that moment, you must contend with it as such
- and none of this makes room for perpetrator intent or belief, if they meant you to think it was magic, if they believed it to be magic themselves
- and there’s a basic assumption of atheism here, in the narrative of the religious interpretation as something that’s layered on after the fact, when, if these events are part of your network of belief, then that may be simply what happened, there may be not conflict between it and what we call fact
- often, this kind of rhetoric is a kind, convenient way to deny RA without seeming to deny other kinds of abuse; hence, skepticism, hence caution

suppose Life is an old man carrying flowers on his head. young death sits in a café smiling,a piece of money held between his thumb and first finger (i say “will he buy flowers” to you and “Death is young life wears velour trousers life totters,life has a beard” i say to you who are silent.—”Do you see Life?he is there and here, or that, or this or nothing or an old man 3 thirds asleep,on his head flowers,always crying to nobody something about les roses les bluets yes, will He buy? Les belles bottes—oh hear ,pas chères”) and my love slowly answered I think so. But I think I see someone else there is a lady,whose name is Afterwards she is sitting beside young death,is slender; likes flowers.

from Fever 103° by Sylvia Plath
Buildings will soon be ‘aware’ of their own alterations, and therefore will have become to some extent ‘self conscious.’ For example, a house that is ‘sensitive to human presence, capable of following a person’s movements through the various rooms and automatically controlling the opening and closing of doors, windows, lighting and heat’ has already been constructed [in Italy]. Buildings of this kind are not only simulating the organic, but becoming organic, so that ‘one will become aware of the fact that they [buildings] simulate the skin’s functions, and artificial and sensory and motoric nerves, and will probably sometime in the future, even build a central nervous system into them.’ [… We look forward to] ‘an architecture that breathes, pulses, leaps as one form and lands as another. Liquid architecture is an architecture whose form is contingent on the interests of the beholder; it is an architecture that opens to welcome me and closes to defend me; it is an architecture without doors or hallways, where the next room is always where I need it to be and what I need it to be.’
