I was happy to be part of a world of Flamers whose flames couldn't be put out. - - - The whole liberal routine of "We'll tolerate you as long as you're straight... or at least aspire to be straight" is a weapon used against all kinds of people. At least real rightwingers just save you time, and hate your guts no matter what you do (e.g., no matter how Ivy League White Obama is, they hate him). I think it's part of that 47% comment Willard the Golf Model made or the Barry Blackbush's swelling disgust whenever he talks at the unrepentantly Black people. Audre Lorde had a nice quote: "It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences." But even more telling, explaining why our contemporary world needs outgroups, even as liberal ideology claims universal humanity, is Lorde's quote: "In a society where the good is defined in terms of profit rather than in terms of human need, there must always be some group of people who, through systematized oppression, can be made to feel surplus, to occupy the place of the dehumanized inferior."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032021663606908819.post-71081902166217501862014-02-03T04:14:00.275-05:002014-02-03T04:14:00.275-05:00Don't I know it.

My early stuff , 1973, is over 40 years old, and looks, and handles as good as new so it works. <br /><br />Old tech is good tech. Digital is like writing in the wind. It 'will' blow away.

In fact today I've been reviewing all my old stuff and trying to figure out what I'd like to do with the time I have left. My goals have always been absurdly grandiose, so a scaling down of projects to something achievable is probably in order. <br /><br />I'd like to think my work could make the world a better place for queer kids, but that seems like tall order for an artist. Maybe a teensy bit better for just a handful? One can only try. <br /><br />Remember about printing. Contrary to popular delusion, the web is not forever. <br /><br />ZaekAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032021663606908819.post-71030654608119947102014-02-01T06:40:45.827-05:002014-02-01T06:40:45.827-05:00Yeah in my lucid moments I know this.

I think I did okay, but still crap to get done.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12914769586760504627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032021663606908819.post-21818395526965872352014-02-01T06:03:31.827-05:002014-02-01T06:03:31.827-05:00Yes, this is what you should do.

This is your part in the same mission as Ralph Chubb was engaged in, this is your Leaves of Grass. <br /><br />Probly you should commit it to print as well as video. You never know when Youtube will go down. <br /><br />Z. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
