emily left it behind for me that weekend i stayed in her apartment (may 28-30, 2010) and i didn’t read it. i bought it last summer and couldn’t read it, at least not all of it. i read it. i didn’t know—truly—that there would be hannah wilke and schizophrenia at the end. i’m ready to talk about it now.

my second favorite citation?
hysteriarama:
Am I a feminist pick-up artist?
Negging music dudes by telling them that they don’t know a thing about tumblr (true), and to get back to me when they’ve read karaj’s blog (could have been so many other blogs, but karaj is the perfect theoretically-threatening high femme combo).
Also I brought up Lana del Rey in the middle of their borecore sound art music douche talk, and they...

my favorite citation in life so far, partly for...
“was on a panel at brooklyn college this morning called ‘trauma’ during which i cited you
i believe i said something like: i don’t actually think it is useful to have a discourse on trauma. i think feminism might be better served if we could think about what kara jesella calls an ‘erotics of trauma’ no one said anything so i take that to mean they have all...

Oh my god. Farah look at this. our lives. OUR LIVES.
things I love about tumblr:
we don’t give each other shit about being online all day because slackerdom is, like, okay
the feminists I know and love on here literally don’t give a fuck. they’re unapologetically divisive and I always feel insecure about my separatist vibes, so having folks...

Digital Identity 1
sassmadness:
Sarah and I are liveblogging the conference on Tumblr, because what else would we do? We also femme flagged as Tumblr academics last night: reddish-orange nails, with a gold ring finger.
Sarah’s friend Bonnie is talking about Shakesville and safe space. It’s so funny, because when we first got the program for the conference, I saw Bonnie’s presentation and was really worried that...

tonight my friend and i celebrated his book deal...
we went on our book tour in 2007 and we had a reading in seattle and that day two different writers at two different newspapers wrote about how this cool book on sassy came out and they would totally come to our reading except they were totally going to see miranda july instead.
there were like four people at our reading and one of them was my boyfriend. another one of them was calvin...

the dreaminess that precedes the other things
kristen-stone:
sometimes i forget who i am and imagine that any day now i will be married and pregnant/parenting…when my parents were mine/jas’ age they were homeowners, my dad was a young professional, and i was an infant.

borninflames asked: Oh god, your post on Girls. Confession: I haven't watched it. I live in New York, I don't need to watch TV to see girls who could buy and sell me being over everything and clever and aware of themselves and the world only insofar as it makes for good anecdote. Also, this broke my heart: "clever apolitical vaguely artsy girls can be everywhere if you don’t know where else to...
msjamiekeiles-deactivated201208 asked: your girls post is so spot on (though i swore i wouldn't talk about girls anymore so, um). i hate clever too.
bennettmadison asked: although i think your girls thoughts are slightly harsh, i cannot stop loling over a fight over whether a bird is a poem.
aloofshahbanou asked: KARA KARA KARA zomg yr post on Girls! I just wanna say that I've been ~forcing~ myself to watch the show just to kind of, idk, *lazily* unpack its white, bourgie douchefuckery or whatever is mentally possible at 3 in the morning on a school night, but episode 2! it was an episode on Jemima Kirke's--she's the only reason I watch, tbh--character's "abortion" and there...

Tonight I was sitting at the bar of a dive with transartorialism
and we were eating onion rings and drinking beer
and talking about trans narratives and how panel presentations are never as satisfying as their titles
and I had this sudden weird thought that my younger self would be pleased with how things turned out, in that moment,
like I’m pretty sure that all my younger self...

and i was like (to myself) “i want to believe that we are” but “no we aren’t” and also “this is so funny, what does taylor swift even think a real, grown-up relationship is?” she gave us her taylor OMG face and hugged me and said she had heard all about me and it was super hilarious and i smiled, and i’m done with this, i’m going to bed, i...

exorcisms work
during the transformational post-exams walk i told aliza that it was about to be what would be our two-year-anniversary. (or six—he always wanted to count from the beginning even though there were all those people in between. “it’s been six years for me,” he said mournfully, the second-to-last time we broke up). the thing is that we had never celebrated the...
