Ask the Brindled

No'u Revilla 

Ask the Brindled, selected by Rick Barot as a winner of the 2021 National Poetry Series, bares everything that breaks between "seed" and "summit" of a life-the body, a people, their language. It is an intergenerational reclamation of the narratives foisted upon Indigenous and queer Hawaiians--and it does not let readers look away.

In this debut collection, No'u Revilla crafts a lyric landscape brimming with shed skin, water, mo'o, ma'i. She grips language like a fistful of wet guts and inks the page red--for desire, for love, for generations of blood spilled by colonizers. She hides knives in her hair "the way my grandmother--not god-- / the way my grandmother intended," and we heed; before her, "we stunned insects dangle." Wedding the history of the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi with contemporary experiences of queer love and queer grief, Revilla writes toward sovereignty: linguistic, erotic, civic. Through the medium of formal dynamism and the material of ʻŌiwi culture and mythos, this living decolonial text both condemns and creates.

Ask the Brindled is a song from the shattered throat that refuses to be silenced. It is a testament to queer Indigenous women who carry baskets of names and stories, "still sacred." It is a vow to those yet to come: "the ea of enough is our daughters / our daughters need to believe they are enough."

Hey, I’m just reaching out to people on Tumblr. You’ve probably heard of Jesus and God, but have you ever reached out to Jesus for problems in your life? Big or small. Not to make you uncomfortable, but did you know sin (in your life and other people’s lives) can really hurt you, it can make it feel like there is a void that is never satisfied. That void could be called a “God sized hole.” Sin sucks and not just in a cookie cutter way, but in a way that it feels like there is a decay within a person. That can be a lot to take in, but I hope it is good food for thought. I hope you’re having an awesome day!! 💕

a God Sized Hole you say

[tehnakki]

I could be a god sized hole if the god tried hard enough 🥰

It’s like reaching into the cupboard for food and accidentally finding a 19 year old can of soup that you’ve kept for sentimental reasons

I referred to something as a "real Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra moment" in conversation with someone who has never seen TNG, and let me tell you, that was a real Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra moment

Coat by Sharron Hedges, 1983.

[rionsanura]

Sharron Hedges is an INCREDIBLE textile artist, one of the initial pioneers of the Art to Wear movement of the ~70s. This piece is called Morpho, and it represents approximately a year of work.

Hedges’ pieces are incomparable!

There is an episode of PBS’s great series Craft In America that features Hedges, and it’s well worth a watch!

This man nearly died to create this for us. The least we can do is watch it from start to finish and then share it immediately.

REBLOG THIS AND TELL ME HOW MANY TUMBLR DRAFTS YOU HAVE RIGHT NOW

[sillyb00ks]

[tehnakki]

Ever since I learned about 3-cueing earlier this week I've been fascinated by this fanfic I am reading. It's an interesting story, the plot is good, the characters are fine (a little OC, but within tolerance) but the TYPOS.

I'm utterly entranced by how wrong so many of the words are. Like, I understand the sentence they were trying to write based on context/experience, but the mistakes are kinda incredible. Characters names are regularly jumbled (all the right letters, completely different order every time). Common phrases will be misspelled/ broken up in weird ways, like the author has never seen them written only heard them said. And sometimes there are entire words missing from a sentence but it's obvious the word that is missing.

I desperately want to reach out to this author to ask if they were taught to read 3-cue style at an american school. Because it feels like the product of someone who (if they are rereading what they've written which i am choosing to believe that they have) is completeing words and sentences based on shapes/context/approximate letters.

But I also know that if I was a young writer and someone reached out to be like "omg, can i study your brain? do you get good grades at school? is this just because you are rushing to write this fic on your phone?" I would die of anxiety and never return to fandom.

So I AM RESTRAINING MYSELF. And the fic is readable, it's just a bit of an effort every once in a while when I am trying to figure out what word they actually meant because the word they wrote is very wrong.

I think I am going to subscribe to their ao3 page though, because i want to see if there writing evolves over time >.>
