Power is the lie that you are *not a rube* and thus, cannot be caught out like a rube, which is why everyone should do what you say. Paradoxically, the makes you even more of a rube than your average rube. Is is why hierarchy ultimately desires separation/escape from ground reality, to build another

Yes, Ernest Hemingway was Transgender On people who dream about being another gender – on transgender, non-binary, crossdresser, crossdreamer and queer issues

have you ever looked into what topics Hemingway was writing about in that manifesto when they died

“Prevent his keepers from being blindsided by his sudden death?”

This helps explain my lifelong curiosity about how we were supposed to guess what the formal expectations of a paper were, never having read or written one.

That sounds way easier than trial-and-error!

Wait: Are you saying somebody TAUGHT you to write?

Imagine trying to run a freshman seminar with both you and me in it. I got Ds for a while until I figured it out.

February 1967 - June 1971 I worked full-time as a secretary for $400 per month while Roger attended the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis and worked part time. I became pregnant in September 1967, and our daughter Stacey was born in May 1968. I took four weeks off work and then continued working full-time until Roger received his degree in mechanical engineering in June 1971, by which time I was making $750 per month. I attempted night school for a while, but could not manage it while working full-time and taking care of a baby. In fact, I wound up in the hospital as a result of overdoing it, and my doctor told me something would have to go. Obviously, I could not quit work or get rid of the baby, so I quit school. Roger's reply to this would be that he made as much money as I did during this time with the G.I. Bill and working part-time, but it was not because he was more talented or skilled or worked harder, but because the gross disparity between "men's work" and "women's work" allowed him to make as much money driving a dump truck in the summer as I did working all year as a secretary. I would say we both worked equally hard during those years and had common goals, but Roger ended up with an engineering degree and I ended up with a husband who had an engineering degree.

This time last year, I was on the South Lawn of the White House helping to lay out the AIDS Memorial Quilt.
This year the White House did nothing and the State Department instructed empoyees and grant recipients to “refrain from publicly promoting World Aids Day through any communication channels”

A large roundish clay beast, about 18” long, shot against a grey backdrop. There’s tree stumps on the back.

Front view of the same beast. It has a smooth head, with no features other than a downturned mouth with porcelain teeth.

Back side of the beast. It’s red/brown/black. All the color is from melted wood ash from the firing. There’s many subtle shades and textures.

I finally had enough down time to photograph “ghost forest”, my big sculpture from my October firing. The results were just spectacular!

To be fair, the union was on strike and there was tear gas and the national guard and stuff. Fair number of kids just shot up and nodded off, which seems like an understandable response in hindsight.

I started college with an electric typewriter that had a little LCD screen and a 50-character editable buffer. That put me 50-characters ahead of everybody else with regular electric typewriters.

I spent a couple years reading novels in the orchestra room because they didn’t know what to do with me. High school was great socially but a net negative academically.

I’m old enough that laptops didn’t exist until a year or two after I graduated from college.

I skipped my senior year and went to college instead, so maybe there would have been some writing that year. Our school only offered one AP class, and I think (?) that was American History.

Energy transitions can happen faster than we think:

In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels.

In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.

p sure I had never written anything longer than a paragraph until college. Steep-ass learning curve!
