Opinion
from the New Yorker
Regarding
“[The American public] sips its coffee and reads of its soldiers administering the ‘water cure’ to rebels; of how water with handfuls of salt thrown in to make it more efficacious, is forced down the throats of the patients until their bodies become distended to the point of bursting; of how our soldiers then jump […]
Mob Rule
The Guns In My Life
My home was a scene of chaos earlier, more so than usual. Chaos that can only come from the introduction of more children into one setting. My brother and his family stopped through town on their way to Salem to spend the day with our grandparents. Grandpa Bill is a state senator and with the […]
Strike is Over! Hoorah!

PS One thing about the crazyness of not really having a permanent home, is that my scanner is in storage 🙁 And since I haven’t been in an office, I can’t use their scanner. So that’s why the comix look a little less clear and perfect than I would like. You can also see the […]
MISSIVES FROM THE END OF THE BARRE
Cowboyz 'n' Poodles
I have been driven to the ass-edge of loco by the amount of dance classes I’ve attended in the past two months wherein the teachers (or students) insist we perform our routine to Mary J. Blige’s “Just Fine.” The song is wonderful, yes, and is super-fast for maximum cardio and super-empowering for extreme face contortions […]

Even while dreaming this, I consciously recognized my subconscious was remembering the story of […]

Golden Age Work Group
I lead a class focusing on the idea of collaboration for the social practice critical theory independent study group. The more I learn about negotiation (which is my elective this quarter), the more I am starting to think of each interaction we have as artists with the audience as a kind of negotiation. Negotiators are […]
MAD AS HELL
Cowboyz 'n' Poodles
Extremely tired of: 1. Feminists, particularly upper-middle-class white second waver feminists in the media and academic elite, who accuse the women who don’t for H-Rod on principle as a betrayal of feminism. Pardon my francais, but you all need to sit the fuck down until you realize that “WOMEN” does not solely equate to fellow […]

Golden Age Work Group
During this Committee Meeting, Eric, Chris and I met to begin sketching our plans for Rudy. We drew a lot of pictures and decided on how to visually categorize the information we collected. We also divvied up tasks and developed an equipment list. Labels: Committee
Data Transmogrification
Golden Age Work Group
After 7 meetings with Rudy, Chris, Eric and I have split off to prepare a document of some kind that provides Rudy with some possible creative trajectories he can take in order to enhance Junior Ambassadors. The three of us met first to come up with as many possible ideas as we could think of. […]
