lisafrankfurtschool:

This is how one pictures the unicorn of history. Its face is turned toward the past. Where we perceive a chain of events, it sees one single catastrophe which keeps piling wreckage upon wreckage and hurls it in front of its hooves. The unicorn would like to stay, awaken the dead, and make whole what has been smashed. But a storm is blowing from Paradise; it has got caught in its wings with such violence that the unicorn can no longer close them. The storm irresistibly propels it into the future to which its back is turned, while the pile of debris before it grows skyward. This storm is what we call progress.

I’m sorry that my Tumblr has come to this state of only re-blogging pop culture stuff but I’m also kind of not sorry, because of how this is the best.

Song Art -- for Elizabeth Bishop

Sun, 31 Mar 2013 13:11:29 -0400

heyteebs:

The art of singing isn’t hard to master.
So many words seem filled with the intent
to be sung that their song is no disaster.

Sing something everyday. Accept the fluster
of forgotten lyrics, the breath badly spent.
The art of singing isn’t hard to master.

Then practice singing higher, singing faster:
posture, intercostals, the lifted diaphragm
and soft palate. None of these will bring disaster.

I’ve lost my voice. And look! My last and
next to last karaoke songs went bad.
The art of singing isn’t hard to master.

I’ve lost the key, and overtones, and vaster—
strain my throat, raise shoulders, dry mouth.
I miss notes, but it isn’t a disaster.

—Even hearing it back (the recorder, a horror
I love) I shan’t have lied. It’s evident
the art of singing isn’t hard to master
though it may sound like (sing it!) like disaster.

hangs soon, pico.

I was so excited to find this documentary from 1996, shot in an American high school. It’s about two sisters who identified as riot grrrls, but who were known around school as the “dirty girls.” It is an incredible portrait of the ’90s, of high school in general, and of what it is like to…

I quote the story

Pre k is celebrating women’s history month. Project: draw a famous woman. First the kid asked what women have walked on the moon. Then she huffed and said, “Well, I know no women have been president!” She told me they had learned about Annie Oakley in class. I told her about Sally Ride. She said, “Hey, I know a band of all women. I’m going to draw Wild Flag.”
