Uses of the Erotic: The Erotic as Power by Audre LordeThere are many kinds of power, used and unused, acknowledged or otherwise. The erotic is a resource within each of us that lies in a deeply female and spiritual plane, firmly rooted in the power of our unexpressed or unrecognized feeling. In order to perpetuate itself, every oppression must corrupt or distort those various sources of power within the culture of the oppressed that can provide energy for change. For women, this has meant a suppression of the erotic as a considered source of power and information within our lives. ( The whole thing. ) |

let us gather in the bar, let us eat and drink and talk, let us listen to whatever the bartender, then the dj, choose to play for us. let us get up and shuffle seats, let us hug one another hello and goodbye. let us butt tuesday. i'll be there from six to eight, possibly a little earlier, possibly a little later, and if you have my mobular number you can check for updates. i probably won't twitter "staying until 9 at the noc!" or anything like that. (though i do twitter BT announcements each week, they just don't show up here anymore.) special guest this week: the hoptoad's cousin, a nice 23-year-old fellow who spent three weeks riding the bicycle he built from missoula, montana to san francisco, in order to come work on a ship which is part of the festival of sail, taking place this week. join us? |

I just love these creatures. "Sea slugs" is hardly the word- they are so gorgeous. Much with the great visual source for painting... color and translucency. See the glamour shots (better in the larger format). |

"As soon as you get into Vista applications in notebook and desktop, you start running into very demanding applications because Vista is not optimized for flash memory solid state disk," he said. Why is any special optimization (presumably to evenly distribute cell usage) not done in the disk firmware itself? Call me crazy, but a storage technology specifically designed to make random reads faster sould, y'know, handle any access pattern! I really wish our culture would shift from blaming others to taking personal responsibility to do the right thing. |

( c++ basics, static var usage ) "so there's something i read recently that agrees with why i am studying haskell, even though it is not the actual cause.. i guess it is something i intuited ...anyways, in the 80s there was smalltalk, which no-one used but every language for the next 20 years stole features from. In the 00s, there is haskell, which will be the same." -_m. "python and ruby both are copying haskell...their functional style is more ML than lisp ...and haskell is similar to ml -not sure if it's derived from it or not ...plus lazy* ? -- that's all haskell" money-making programmer explanation of monads.. |

i'm doing LOCAL ONLY preorders again for our new shirts. here's a mockup: ...and here's a closeup of the design:  the back says: EVERYTHING GOES COLD ALL YOU'RE WORTH IS MY TRANSPORTATION ...in white/light blue. i'll make a mockup of the back if you really need it. thanks to stitchmind for the new design once again!$15 for men's, $17 for women's. they're more expensive than the fail shirts because they cost me a -lot- more. also: there are no size large women's this time, they didn't sell last time. speaking of which, if you want a women's large FAIL shirt, lemme know :D there are also no XXLs because of the minimums again, and everybody who asks for XXLs seems to be okay with an XL instead. and as usual, YOU MUST ACTUALLY PICK UP YOUR SHIRT. i am not shipping these. |

The precious (sic) vaginal odour filled into a small glass phial. The phial is shaken gently, only a tiny amount of the precious (sic), organic substance is applied onto the back of the hand... Vulva Original (NSFW) is not a perfume. It is a beguiling vaginal scent.  Tags: precious, vulva, weird Germans. |

I need recommendations on comfortable laptop backpacks. The one I am using is a cheap freebie that I started using when messenger bags started messing with Harold* too much. I'm ready to commit to a better backpack... and, yes, I'm also working on reducing Harold, but I try to not aggravate him overmuch. Must be able to fit 15.5" laptop, and not have those annoying plastic-clip shoulder straps to attach them to the body of the bag. They need to be sewn. *Yes, I named my shoulder knot. If you'd had knotty scar tissue for 17 years, you'd have named it, too. |

Discussing this a bit on Irc, thought I'd throw it at a more semi-permanent place, and a potentially wider distribution group. How long are you willing to wait at the doctor's office? How long are they willing to wait for you? Most places seem unwilling to wait more than 10 minutes if you're late. I'm unwilling to wait more than 15 minutes per room. This typically means that if I'm on time, and I wait 15 minutes in the waiting room, and 15 minutes in the exam room, I'm gone. If I have an appointment, I expect to be seen on time. If it's an ER visit, I bring a couple books. How about you? |

He very much says what my MA in integrated Arts program folks said, but good to hear on TED. A little much on the sidetracking in the beginning, but I love his closing story. So true. TED talk on how education kills creativity, and how to rethink it. Some of the themes that kept coming up in my courses: -the educational system was created for the industrial age, for people to fill roles within a system. -the world is now changing too fast for people to anticipate what those roles will be when the kids grow up, so we have to prioritize teaching them how to think, not just regurgitate. -more, we have to get them to think creatively, to problem solve for problems and need we cannot yet anticipate. Not directly addressed in the TED talk, but brushed against: -the arts aren't just an end-goal of "are you likely to be an artist"? They help people think creatively, to take risks, experiment, communicate and express- all useful skills for many many fields. -also if you look at the studies (Champions of Change hs a huge ten-year meta-study worth checking out) a lot of the problems in education get smaller with more art- direct correlations between number of hours spent in art and raised SAT test scores (around 15% I believe), direct reverse correlation with drop out rates, detention and discipline problems. and no... this is not about privileged kids doing better and being the ones who get more art time- the positive difference is more extreme in disadvantaged kids who suddenly get access to art. |

Everybody loves a funeral. Normally, I would attribute this turn of phrase to JWZ, but the honor goes to Da5id Din, who made this same observation many years ago, when Assimilate had its sixth or seventh very last night ever. People always show up for births and deaths, he said. Everybody loves a funeral. Let us not mourn the death of Pop Roxx, but celebrate its life. Let us celebrate Barry in his array of multicolored zoot suits. Let us celebrate the DJ's, who mostly played music I did not find to be offensive. Let us celebrate the Bootie lounge, which was often so crowded that it was impossible to get from one end to the other. Let us celebrate Eric, drunk and puking and possibly passed out on my couch. Let us celebrate the go-gos, dressed like a tragic paper shredder accident at the Leg Avenue factory. Let us celebrate the bands: Lurid Bliss and the Epoxies and those other guys whose names I cannot recall. Let us dance on boxes and wonder where our drinks went and stand irritated behind drunk people kissing. I was not always good to you, Pop Roxx, especially not in the last year, when everything went slow and no one was really steering the ship. I cheated on you with other clubs. I cheated on you with house parties. I stayed home and fell asleep on the couch. But you had your moments. There were times when you were sublime. I raise this Cosmopolitan in your honor. I am sad to see you go, but I am also glad that I can finally throw those orange and black striped thigh-highs away. |
