Outercourse (Be-Ing on Account of My Time/Space):
"A deep dive into why things are the way they are and how one woman invented new ways of Being at a time the norm considered it impossible for anyone female to become a philosopher."

Miriam's review
of
On Lies, Secrets, and Silence. Selected Prose 1966-1978:
"I feel rejuvenated. I can use a lot of this book as inspiration for my life's work. Some of it is a little 1970s for me, but some of it rings so true, that I fear we haven't come very far at all since she wrote this. Like the precariousness of birth "

of
Inside Alcatraz: My Time on the Rock:
"This was a story written by someone who was not an established or famous writer, but rather by a real-life ex-convict at one of the most notorious prisons in the U.S.

“Charles Baudelaire: Get Drunk
One should always be drunk. That's all that matters; that's our one imperative need. So as not to feel Time's horrible burden that breaks your shoulders and bows you down, you must get drunk without ceasing.
But what with? With wine, with poetry, or with virtue, as you choose. But get drunk.
And if, at some time, on the steps of a palace, in the green grass of a ditch, in the bleak solitude of your room, you are waking up when drunkenness has already abated, ask the wind, the wave, a star, the clock, all that which flees, all that which groans, all that which rolls, all that which sings, all that which speaks, ask them what time it is; and the wind, the wave, the star, the bird, the clock will reply: 'It is time to get drunk! So that you may not be the martyred slaves of Time, get drunk; get drunk, and never pause for rest! With wine, with poetry, or with virtue, as you choose!'
-- Charles Baudelaire, tr. Michael Hamburger”
