talkin bout my generation

Dear Colleagues Across the Curriculum,

Genetic generative language generation:
generalization &
gender-genius. always
the spirit
on the one hand & then on the
other: the letters of the
laws.

Let the CONVERSE-ACTION
begin

Full fathom five thy Father lies,
Of his bones are Corrall made:
Those are pearles that were his eies,
Nothing of him that doth fade,
But doth suffer a Sea-change
Into something rich & strange
Sea-Nymphs hourly ring his knell.
Harke now I heare them, ding-dong,

bell.

I love being a woman, and I like
a lot of things that are stereo-
typically and traditionally
feminine.

If traditional gender roles aren’t
for you, that’s just fine, too, and
I’ll support you 100%. What I
don’t like, however, is being told
that my particular predilections
are “supporting the workings
of the oppressive patriarchy.”

bell hooks went on and on about the
white-supremacist- imperialist-capitalist-
hetero-normative-male-patriarchy (no,
really, she used that phrase at least thirty
times in her lecture on community. I started
counting halfway through) and how it was
the root of all evil in American society.

She ranted and raved about how all men
are sexist, all white people are racist,
and
people were nodding their
heads, completely
enrapt.

Sampling MOP (mind-on-a-page)
from TransRomanticism.
(Eng 255:T/Th 11:00)

Language.
Got to love it.
Can’t live with it.
Can’t live without it.
Turn IT up. Put It in Play.
Play & Be Played, I say.
School & Be Schooled.
Or what's a college for
a little while?



Call me trans generic
yin-yanger, malcontent
in the muddle, hermes
mercurial, androgynous
if not hermaphroditic,
jesus, clown, jester,
juggler, trickster, crow,
coyote in-betweener
mediator neither on the
one hand nor on the
other and a pox on
both spouses, ludic
& deluded, ludicrous
and illusory. .

xxxooo, Tiriesias

"I have been acquainted
with greed." Let the con-
verse action begin.
