Launching my first art blogs with a small comic based on the amazing words of Ursula K. Le Guin!

Vocal Fry

Trying to explain vocal fry (and men complaining about women’s voices in podcasting) to my husband:

“It’s when a woman uses her lower register and her voice breaks.”

“My speaking voice, all the time. I AM Vocal Fry.”

He’s still ???

Search engine definition: “Vocal fry is the lowest register (tone) of your voice characterized by its deep, creaky, breathy sound.”

“But why does that bother anyone?"

Me, finally getting it-- “It’s a way women talk when trying to be authoritative, and you don’t notice it because you don’t hate women.”

All that you touch you change.

All that you change changes you.

The only lasting truth is change.

God is change.

Found the credit, from the Great Plains Dance Company. This is Jocy Bird and Trae Little Sky dancing in the Sweetheart Special at the Seminole Tribal Fair in Hollywood, Florida.

Jocy Bird and Trae Little Sky are married and apparently an adorable couple and I am loving their beaming grins as they dance so smoothly together. 💖

Modernist manuals of writing often conflate story with conflict. This reductionism reflects a culture that inflates aggression and competition while cultivating ignorance of other behavioral options. No narrative of any complexity can be built on or reduced to a single element. Conflict is one kind of behavior. There are others, equally important in any human life, such as relating, finding, losing, bearing, discovering, parting, changing.

Change is the universal aspect of all these sources of story. Story is something moving, something happening, something or somebody changing.

New goddess idea: She’s an earth goddess of the new age who’s domain is spinning and weaving, but specifically spinning and weaving gigantic structural steel cables for construction and other industrial purposes. Her skin is steel grey and hard to the touch and her hair is like long dredlocks of woven steel. She laughs at shitty architecture deigns that will fall apart if actually built and protects well-made bridges and buildings she likes. She might warn you of unforseen danger if you always wear your proper PPE.

Okay now what do I name her
