Marina Abramovic meets Ulay

“Marina Abramovic and Ulay started an intense love story in the 70s,

performing art out of the van they lived in.

When they felt the relationship had run its course,

they decided to walk the Great Wall of China,

each from one end, meeting for one last big hug i

n the middle and never seeing each other again.

at her 2010 MoMa retrospective

Marina performed ‘The Artist Is Present’ as part of the show,

a minute of silence with each stranger who sat in front of her.

Ulay arrived without her knowing it and this is what happened.”

In Germany we don’t say “I don’t care” we say “Das ist mir Wurst” which roughly translates as “This is sausage to me” I think that’s beautiful.

no you don’t understand we actually do say that

i crashed my car into a bridge

THIS IS SAUSAGE TO ME

We also say “That’s not my beer” for “That’s none of my buisness” and I think that’s beautiful

is germany even real

How could you forget “Chatting a meatball onto someone’s ear” for “talking a lot of uninteresting stuff”?

is germany really that about food and beer

thanks a lot germany now i’m hungry

My personal favorite is Kummerspeck: Excess weight gained due to emotional overeating. Literally translates as grief bacon.

oH MY FUCKING GOD

ABORT MISSION. ABORT MISSION

aw it’s so c-JESUS CHRIST

Is there a rough draft hero plan for the autumn? I am curious about which stories will be updated

Ah man haha, what has Ghostie started. I could tell you a list, but things rarely work out the way I want them to. My priorities have really shifted with school starting and student loans, etc, so I’m going to be pushing to finish publishable things: finish up some anth submissions, try to finish Crooked House for nano, etc. 

The two stories that I definitely want to get squared away are Leviathan and Ventures and Investments. They both only have two-three chapters left, but I just haven’t been hit with the right feeling to finish them yet.

Is anyone interested in doing some character sketches of Skylark and Lazarus this weekend? I would be happy to pay you or trade some fic.

WANT WANT WANT

In a tour de force of lyrical theory, Joshua Clover boldly reimagines how we understand both pop music and its social context in a vibrant exploration of a year famously described as “the end of history.” Amid the historic overturnings of 1989, including the fall of the Berlin Wall, pop music also experienced striking changes. Vividly conjuring cultural sensations and events, Clover tracks the emergence of seemingly disconnected phenomena—from grunge to acid house to gangsta rap—asking if ”perhaps pop had been biding its time until 1989 came along to make sense of its sensibility.” His analysis deftly moves among varied artists and genres including Public Enemy, N.W.A., Dr. Dre, De La Soul, The KLF, Nine Inch Nails, Nirvana, U2, Jesus Jones, the Scorpions, George Michael, Madonna, Roxette, and others. This elegantly written work, deliberately mirroring history as dialectical and ongoing, summons forth a new understanding of how “history had come out to meet pop as something more than a fairytale, or something less. A truth, a way of being.”

A Wolpertinger by Albrecht Dürer (1509)

The wolpertinger is a chimeric creature from Bavarian folklore, said to inhabit the alpine forests.

This is that thing I talk about like half the time when I get drunk.

Oh yeah, I have one of those.
