What transpires psychologically to make someone attracted to something they once had an aversion to or vice versa? In terms of romantic : physical attraction can we learn to “overcome” things that are unattractive to us? Are pheromones real? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5cad219cfb182071712620e8/617304dd323e9316e17f3218/61731b2382f7d52085577794/1634935599859/Screen+Shot+2021-10-22+at+1.11.17+PM.png Writing - The Bias of Speech Whiteness is the sound of visibility and social currency. “Whiteness is an invisible standard against which everything is judged against.” https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5cad219cfb182071712620e8/617304dd323e9316e17f3218/61731b9998838b2f6d74d791/1634935628034/Screen+Shot+2021-10-22+at+1.14.07+PM.png Writing - The Mystical, Mind-Sharing Lives of Tulpamancers Drawing on ancient Tibetan practices and a very human need for companionship, these people believe they have figured out how to create sentient beings within their own bodies. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5cad219cfb182071712620e8/617304dd323e9316e17f3218/61731c2dc6371a0f9da54e5e/1634935333968/ravages.jpeg Writing - The Ravages Of American Poverty July Westhale’s new book of poetry, ‘Trailer Trash,’ reminds us never to be ashamed of where we come from, even if it almost kills us. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5cad219cfb182071712620e8/617304dd323e9316e17f3218/617327a3e0640016a27ce897/1634936819156/Screen+Shot+2021-10-22+at+2.04.58+PM.png Writing - Why ‘Wages for Housework’ Needs to Make a Comeback An interview with renowned activist Silvia Federici on COVID, domestic labor, and how to combat capitalism by ‘commoning’ our resources. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5cad219cfb182071712620e8/t/5dc205d58bdf0e57b20e60a7/1629503554137/trash.jpeg Writing - The Ravages Of American Poverty, An Interview with poet July Westhale Unlike prose — which, arguably, is exponentially more interested in conveying a clear idea or image — poetry is delightfully layered and fractured, inviting interpretation like a beautifully wanton stare. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5cad219cfb182071712620e8/t/5dc202bde3f44544645be2c6/1634836021204/poetry.jpeg Writing - ‘Poetry Nap’ Makes Poetry More Accessible Poetry is a divisive thing. Some live and breathe it, dissecting and crafting opaque phrases and thick, rich language with the fervor of a pig rooting for truffles. For them, poetry is a process of discovery, of delight, of searching among shadows. Others find the whole thing pretentious, inaccessible, boring even. Their common lament: Why not just say what you mean? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5cad219cfb182071712620e8/t/5dc204418bdf0e57b20e39bb/1572996734480/Screen+Shot+2019-11-05+at+3.22.00+PM.png Writing - SENSOREE Connects Fashion and Technology for Better Health “It’s like a de-evolution to get back into ourselves.” — SENSOREE founder Kristin Neidlinger https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5cad219cfb182071712620e8/t/5dc2113b8bdf0e57b20f5c79/1630111088243/Spike_reboot.jpeg Writing - “We Are Too Rare”: The Importance Of Inclusivity Behind Spike Lee’s ‘She’s Gotta Have It’ Reboot “For the first time, I was with people of color occupying both sides of the screen, stamping our perspectives on history.” —JANIS VOGEL, ‘SHE’S GOTTA HAVE IT’ EDITOR https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5cad219cfb182071712620e8/t/5dc2087b10e3021cf6746e9f/1629503807091/lebbeus.jpg Writing - Celebrating The Defiant Prophet Lebbeus Woods For a man obsessed with visions of the future, it seems both appropriate and strangely sad that Lebbeus Woods will miss the culmination of his work in SFMOMA's new exhibit, "Lebbeus Woods: Architect." Like his infamous art, Woods' life was interrupted, and the schism between what is and what could have been echoes on. Woods, who died in October 2012, is lauded as a kind of architectural prophet, drawing and sculpting intricate structures and spaces that defy authority, political ideologies, and even physics. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5cad219cfb182071712620e8/t/5dc1ec8fe7599e675a44a76a/1629503544397/blue.jpeg Writing - Tangled Up In ‘Blue’: Meet The Founder Of Oakland’s Rope Bondage Studio A method for tying, torturing and parading prisoners may not seem ripe for a loving, consensual ritual, yet here we are.

He’ll rise, forgetting, but as he slides the curtains open and hears the tinny metal slide of the rings suspending them, he will be flooded with misery, a desire to lay back down in bed. The light filters through the trees—strange blocks of shadows dance on the wall. Some leaves are bright, mantis-green, backlit by the sun—others are fern-green, muted and shadowed. They tremble on their branches, the burgundy maple tree in the background reminds him of rust or blood. He turns and fingers the sheets where they used to lay, obsessed for many weeks with one another’s bodies. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5cad219cfb182071712620e8/t/5dc1ee50f700e16c27b7ad32/1630111048632/ Writing - “Sounding American” and the Bias of Speech while “whiteness” is the sound of visibility and social currency — “whiteness is an invisible standard against which everything is judged against,” said McEnaney — codifying what it means to “sound or act white” is highly problematic as well, he argued. https://www.catherinetandy.com/theater-/-film-/-music daily 0.75 2021-08-20 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5cad219cfb182071712620e8/t/612032e5c2ebc779faeab9ee/1629500144315/shatts.jpeg Theater // Film // Music - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5cad219cfb182071712620e8/t/61203cca2673060b490774a3/1629502725871/Screen+Shot+2021-08-20+at+4.37.13+PM.png Theater // Film // Music - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.catherinetandy.com/new-page-2 daily 0.75 2021-10-22 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5cad219cfb182071712620e8/t/61732f4455ad852f6738f0fe/1634938716338/IDREAMOFTRUMP.jpeg Graphics // Illustrations - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5cad219cfb182071712620e8/t/617319254a33b2114fa6fc2a/1634933057930/MySistersBreastmilk.png Graphics // Illustrations https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5cad219cfb182071712620e8/t/61733041238c4352a8c9b834/1634938945677/WaitressBarbie.jpeg Graphics // Illustrations - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5cad219cfb182071712620e8/t/61732cce546a552f3bd48c84/1634938064980/Screen+Shot+2021-10-22+at+2.25.30+PM.png Graphics // Illustrations - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5cad219cfb182071712620e8/t/6173302833621b6a738e9ac0/1634938920694/DogWalkerBarbie.png Graphics // Illustrations - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5cad219cfb182071712620e8/t/61732d4244a39a09173a5d37/1634938181665/Screen+Shot+2021-10-22+at+2.29.18+PM.png Graphics // Illustrations - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5cad219cfb182071712620e8/t/617319295e3b7e3ad7344a68/1634933057934/Hitachi%27sNotSo+MagicWand_+DisabilityAnd+Masturbation.png Graphics // Illustrations https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5cad219cfb182071712620e8/t/6173191b98838b2f6d7492b5/1634933057921/AnAuspiciousTimeToStartBleeding.png Graphics // Illustrations https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5cad219cfb182071712620e8/t/61732c1498838b2f6d762d93/1634937882608/Screen+Shot+2021-10-22+at+2.22.38+PM.png Graphics // Illustrations - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5cad219cfb182071712620e8/t/61732ce1cc2e420ac0b0a3ec/1634938081052/Screen+Shot+2021-10-22+at+2.27.03+PM.png Graphics // Illustrations - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5cad219cfb182071712620e8/t/61731912fc8570441feead70/1634933057917/CinemaAndCompulsiveHeterosexuality.png Graphics // Illustrations https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5cad219cfb182071712620e8/t/617330332d495568d8cd42d0/1634938936558/UnpaidIntern____Barbie.jpeg Graphics // Illustrations - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5cad219cfb182071712620e8/t/617319201418ce2359e7bcdf/1634933057927/DisabledPeople__AreBetterAtSex.png Graphics // Illustrations https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5cad219cfb182071712620e8/t/6173191fd120971e7cc1424a/1634933057924/TheMagicOfTheLizardSelf.png Graphics // Illustrations https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5cad219cfb182071712620e8/t/61731910908c6a111bf6fa14/1634933057913/A+Bodily+Reckoning+Amongst+The+Coronavirus.png Graphics // Illustrations https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5cad219cfb182071712620e8/t/61732c293b6afb419b719a6f/1634937897785/Screen+Shot+2021-10-22+at+2.20.07+PM.png Graphics // Illustrations - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
