“Visions of mass gridlock turned into versions of mobile grandeur Monday as commuters found themselves coping just fine with immigrant protests that closed major streets in Los Angeles. It had been billed as the motorists’ day from hell. But automobile flow through most of the city turned into a traffic triumph, the likes of which Los Angeles hasn’t seen since it managed to keep freeways and streets flowing during the 1984 Olympics. Surface streets around downtown were holiday-light for the morning commute. Many workers decided to stay home, work from other locations or take public transportation. Those who left home early to drive to work found themselves settling in at their desks in record time. (see full story below; photo: LAT)”

“All female version of Three Kingdoms. All the generals and warriors from the Chinese historical novel ‘Romance of the Three Kingdoms’ have became women!”

I have no idea who this artist is, nor can I figure it out from the website (via the indispensable StartDrawing.org, but who could have listed the artist’s name or if they did, it eluded me)

If anyone knows who this artist is, I’d love to give credit where credit is due.

“The promise of the Internet-as-(Library of )Alexandra is more than the roiling plenitude of information. It’s the ability of individuals to choreograph that information in idiosyncratic ways, the hope that individuals might feel invited by the gravitational pull of a broad and open commons to ‘rip, mix, and burn’ - to curate. This new sort of curator, in effect, is one definition of blogger: an amateur experimental librarian for the Internet, the curator of … a digital Wunderkammer, a private information choreographer who has made her alignments public.”
A world in three aisles, by Gideon Lewis-Kraus, Pages 47-57, Harpers Magazine, May 2007 (now online)

So next time you’re wondering about the stuff that gets posted here, see above. I’m curating, not blogging, dammit, curating. But my curatorial skills are more like, um, The Museum of Jurassic Technology or something. Well, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

And I would have to say that the indispensable Wood S Lot does a far better job of curating the internets than anyone one else I know of. Far better than moi!

I did like this part, too: There’s a tour of real librarians and one of them asks a dangerous question:

“…Megan picked up a bound volume of Display World magazine and told the group … was a particular attraction for the artists and art classes who have come in search of visual materials.

“One librarian … didn’t quite get it. ‘Well, I can see how it would be interesting to artists,’ he asked, ‘but how do they find it?’”

“Megan, whose overwhelming kindness occasionally reveals truculent edges, looked at him as thought his was the stupidest question ever asked at the library. ‘We show them,’ she said, and moved on.”

Hey, it’s her private library, she can be as much of a control freak as she wants. Because, really, isn’t the history of modern librarianship or whatever it’s called focused on access? Librarians are there to help you find stuff, but moreover, they’re there to teach you the tools to find stuff. The private Prelinger Library is a nice exercise in an inaccessible collection with Rick and Megan, who strike me as the kind of people I would run from at full speed, set up as givers of knowledge. How esoteric. How Gurdjieffian. How nice for them. Next.

My friend Erik, whom I wish would blog (or curate) more, tells me the Seattle Library is a delightful place, but Harpers probably isn’t interested in that.

“The question I am here asking is: In what ways, if any, are our thoughts affected by the shift from the pen or the typewriter to a word processor? My question is not whether thinking about computers changes the image we have of ourselves; nor indeed whether computers do or do not think. What I do ask is: With the word processor becoming our writing instrument, what changes do there occur, if any, in the ways and content of our thinking? In particular, what changes can there be discerned, or expected, in terms of the organization of our ideas; in terms of the organization of our memory - our access to, and summary view of, the ideas available to us; in terms of our concept of time; and in terms of the perception we have of the place and role of our thoughts in relation to the thoughts of others. The notion that thinking - both how we think and what we think - is not independent of the concrete linguistic medium in which it unfolds is of course very much in accordance with Wittgenstein’s position. Not only does Wittgenstein say: ‘When I think in language, there aren’t ‘meanings’ going through my mind in addition to the verbal expressions: the language is itself the vehicle of thought’, and not only does he point out that what we are concerned with is ‘the spatial and temporal phenomenon of language’, but he also repeatedly stresses, and indeed this is one of his central insights, that the meaning of a linguistic sign depends on the circumstances, the spatial and temporal surroundings in which it occurs; that intention depends on context. However, Wittgenstein does not seem to have been alert to the fact that contexts change with the medium; that ‘thinking by writing’ creates linguistic surroundings radically different from those created by ‘thinking by speaking’. Let me come to my main topic by touching on these differences first.’”

“So long as you aren’t throwing your hang-ups in other people’s faces, or expecting the rest of the world to conform to them, you really shouldn’t waste time worrying about them. Straight men who’d just as soon not look at their fellow man’s penis needn’t feel bad for avoiding situations where they might have to do just that, and when circumstances place them in such situations, so long as they’re polite about extracting themselves, they certainly shouldn’t feel guilty about it. We’re all monkeys, people. We all squirm over different things. Remember when you were a kid and you hated asparagus? It’s the same instinctive reaction at play.”

“A rational citizen, using whatever diminished faculties are left to her after a lifetime of governmental, cultural, and religious manipulation, will process the Virginia Tech event the same way she processes the news of any senseless butchery perpetrated by crazy men: with ever-deepening angst. These orating gasbags, with their inane “moments of silence” and paternalistic “days of mourning” whipped up special for the TV cameras, are themselves crazy men. Displaying the disingenuous maggotry that passes these days for statesmanship, they’ll hitch their political wagons to any convenient spontaneous tragedy for an opportunity to convince a global audience that, despite their sponsorship of other, more distant, more invisible, or more devastating calamities, they are in fact capable of humanity.”

I’m pretty sure we’re all mouning Virgina Tech on some level and don’t need a special day set aside for it. I’m lucky Twisty is saying it for me.

Fuck, I wish I had something insightful to say about Virgina Tech, but I don’t. I don’t even have any thoughts on what could have been different; it seems like one of those nightmares where you know everything is going to happen the way it happens, and you can’t wake up from it.

I just saw the tape that the shooter sent to NBC. It’s dreadful. That poor child was insane.

Now, let’s think about this. He was 23, and a senior. There are two missing years there. His writings and his tape lean heavily on several things: stepfathers, being fucked, heavy and disturbing sexual and violent imagery.

Where has this child been? What was done to him? Who did it? Why is his family ‘requesting privacy’? Is there anyone in the world willing to take up *his* cause, after what he did? So far I hear CNN giving it the ‘inside the mind of a KILLER!!!!!’ treatment.

I want to know what happened to this kid to make him insane. There are children dead because of it.

About the responsibility of Virginia Tech for the killings: I worked at Unknown University for a long, long time, and I worked with several students who were - well, I could say seriously disturbed, but I’m going to be frank and say batshit insane.

Here are some of the ones I knew.

The Wolf Man wore a full-length black leather coat, black leather gloves, black-leather hat, dark glasses, and heavy beard, winter and summer, inside and outside. He carried a big black leather briefcase that he called ‘his life support system’.

The Wolf Man’s delusions were many, but the biggest one - the most difficult to deal with - was his insistence that he was handicapped in some unspecified way. He would ask people to fill out forms for him, then read them over (this didn’t win him any friends in the registration office, I can tell you - we didn’t like filling out grid forms any more than anybody else does). He would ask students to carry his books for him, ask people in the supermarket to pick things off the shelf for him, ask the cashier to empty his cart, ask people in the parking lot to put the bags in his car for him, then drive off.

He was a problem in class. He would come in late, make a big fuss of opening his briefcase and taking out his two tape recorders. One was for the class, and the other was for his own comments. He would ask bizarre questions, get into arguments, say “But I’m handicapped” when he lost them.

We were acutely aware of this guy. But he hadn’t done anything but be annoying in class. He had been reported to the Dean of Students’ office many times, and had been withdrawn from a few classes when it was clear that he had no connection with what was being taught.

And then he started following one of his instructors to the parking lot after class, and she brought charges, and he was banned from campus for a year.

He was also following girls at night on Main Street. One of them got fed up with it and called the police, who were familiar with him, and came and picked him up. When they towed his car, they found seventeen guns in it. Loaded guns. We had reliable information that they’d been there for years.

Then there was - I’ll call him John. John’s delusion was that he was a covert North Korean spy, that he’d been placed as an infant with his parents, who were from a nearby town. North Korean was beaming instructions into his head and beaming information out of it.

John was actually a decent student; he took mostly English courses and got Bs. You could hold a conversation wtih him, but it always led to North Korea. He wasn’t disruptive in class.

One day someone saw John on top of a bookshelf in the library, removing a ceiling tile. He told the kid he was removing the North Korean bugs so he could study there. The kid went to the front desk and told them; they were weary of John climbing the shelves, and they called Security. Security chased him through three floors of the library, out onto the Mall, and right through the textile majors’ annual fashion show. (That sounds funny, but it isn’t - it’s a big deal for those kids, and it was ruined.) They lost him somewhere on campus.

John was arrested in Baltimore that night. He had gotten on top of one of the buildings around the Inner Harbor, and was waiting for the helicoptors to pick him up and take him to Langley, to the CIA.

We never saw either the Wolf Man or John after they were ‘taken away’. One thing I remember is the difference in their parents. The Wolf Man was in his forties and his parents were elderly. When you called them, and said it was about the Wolf Man, they hung up. They had done all they could. They couldn’t bear it any longer.

John’s father was a well-known businessman in the nearby town. He reassured us that John was not from Korea; he was the child of his parents. And whenever John got into trouble, he was right there.

And there were others. There was one poor girl who was admitted into the theater program who had a mild case of cerebral palsy, heavy speech involvement. She couldn’t act - her speech was too poor - and she wasn’t physically capable of working behind the scenes. You can’t deny admission to someone because of physical problems. It’s illegal. You can break their heart later by asking them to resign.

And the suicides. Unknown University is surrounded by train tracks, Amtrak and Conrail. A Metroliner kills you quickly and efficiently. Maybe it makes more kids do it; it seemed like a lot. And car crashes when drunk - the kind that kill you, and the kind that my husband and I happened on ten seconds after it happened, that left two juniors with lifelong movement problems.

And the murders. Unknown University had a pretty notorious murder some years ago. The day after it happened, the administration building was full of people who would stop and stare, thinking “Oh, God, why didn’t she tell us? Why didn’t she ask for help?”

The important thing is this. There’s absolutely no problem that university administrators haven’t solved. Murder, abortion, pregnancy, incest, assault. Nothing. But teenagers think their problems are unique, and unsolvable, and they are terrible people, and they don’t ask for help. I cannot describe the awful grief that lays on the administration when a student dies senselessly, not just for the student, but because they feel they failed. If only they’d known, they should have known, what can we do to know before the next time?

And that’s how I feel about the Virginia Tech incident. Even though I’m not there, I’m not on campus: I should have known. How can we help, how can we stop this, how can we reach out and stop them before this happens again?

PIBGORN HAS AN ANNOUNCEMENT LIVE JOURNAL!!!

Also news for “9 Chickweed Lane.” Be sure to friend this LJ or add them to your RSS reader to stay au courant de la cause de Pibgorn.

Updated April 20, 2007

This just in from Brooke McEldowney:

With United Media’s announcement that “Pibgorn” is to be discontinued, I have been inundated with e-mail, much of it agitated and distressed. I’m very sorry you had to get the news in this rather dispassionate way. That I may answer your central question forthwith, I’ve composed this response for everyone – so please forgive me if I seem impersonal.

“PIBGORN” WILL CONTINUE.

There. That is the main thing I wanted to say. Comics.com, however, will, as they have announced, no longer be the source. Nothing dramatic happened, really. I simply came to feel that the editorial needs of comcs.com and those of “Pibgorn” were becoming more and more divergent and incompatible. For this reason I asked to be released from my contract with United Media in order to secure a new online home for “Pibgorn.” United Media most graciously, and reluctantly, agreed. In short order I hope to get Pib back up and flying.

Meanwhile, you have seen the most current installments of “Pibgorn.” Hold that thought. We’ll be back.

All best wishes, and thanks so very much for writing.

“Working in a grocery store used to mean a stable middle class living. That changed in Southern California with the creation of a two-tier wage structure in 2004. Those hired after the strike make significantly less than those employed prior and have a much harder time qualifying for health care benefits. It is the difference between a stable middle class existence and the high turnover of low-paying work that forces people to take multiple jobs to make ends meet.”
Grocery Workers and the Collapse of the Middle Class, by juls, Caltics, March 21, 2007

“Columnist Bill White of the Allentown Morning Call pictures Circuit City CEO Philip J. Schoonover getting a warm welcome to hell – very warm. Satan tells him, ‘This place is full of overpaid, outsourcing, golden-parachuting, employee-abusing worms like you.’ Schoonover’s sin? Laying off 3400 employees because they had been around for too long and needed to be replaced by minimum wage workers. His punishment? Having a choice of Dick Cheney or Nancy Grace as a roommate and spending eternity listening to Sanjaya’s Greatest Hits.

“The New York Times took the Circuit City slaughter with much greater equanimity. In his economics column last week, Times columnist David Leonhardt showed some pious sympathy for the laid-off, who will, after a 10 week cooling off period, be able to re-apply for their old jobs at much reduced pay. But he goes on to explain that Circuit City’s employee abuse is just part of the larger corporate demand for ‘efficiency.’ Wal-Mart, after all, has capped employee pay and taken the stools away from its elderly employees.”
Circuit City Slaughter, by Barbara Ehrenreich, April 9, 2007

So, what happens when what little there is of the middle class is snuffed out? Does the United States become Columbia? Or North Korea? Anybody know? We sure ain’t gonna be France or Denmark.

Oh, and by the way, some days it’s really hard to read Dr. Ehrenreich, especially when she’s being arch, but this post went well with the un-arch Caltics post I’d been saving for… something. Might as well be this.

“As for the danger of Friedmanizing, I was comparing Blackberry models with my cab driver in Nogales when it struck me with the force of a mattress full of Communion wafers. The Middle East is the Kirby Silver Surfer, while Davos Man is one of Joltin’ Jack’s later New Gods! This explains everything, certainly why we wound up walking back from the maquiladora. Condi Rice is John Constantine, whereas Dick Cheney is just poor old Ben Grimm. If you carry a hammer while flying business class, you’ll never see the changes transforming the entire posteconomic multiverse. Only when the Bush Administration learns to outsource its hidden transaction costs will we see a meeting of the Lexus, the olive tree, the Fascist octopus, the jackboot, the melting pot, and the great swan song that is Web 2.0.

“‘Real universal health care is demonstrably possible. SB 840 (the California Universal Healthcare Act), a bill I am carrying in the California Legislature, covers every California resident with comprehensive, affordable health benefits, and contains the growth of health-care spending while improving quality. Most importantly, it gives patients total choice of their doctors and hospital. It works by consolidating the money we–employers, families and government–currently spend on health care. Everyone pays something in and everyone gets coverage–just one affordable premium–without co-pays or deductibles. This allows us to reduce the costs of administering our fragmented system from 30 percent of every health-care dollar down to 5 percent, a savings of $20 billion in the first year. ‘”

“So, Steph doesn’t matter to me that much a character, but she matters to me as a very powerful symbol. And unfortunately, that symbol is now one of how the contributions of women are systematically denied, ignored, explained away, and undercut in every way. Of how one standard exists for males (Jason Todd) and how another standard exists for women (Stephanie Brown).”
On the Topic of Stephanie Brown, by Katherine Keller, Sequential Tart, April 2007

Just go read it. Anything I said here about it would just be goofy.

And did you know Joanna Russ wrote a book called How to Suppress Women’s Writing, published in 1983? Neither did I, but it’s on the must read list now.

And if DC had the guts to have a female Robin in Batman, they could at least have the guts to properly acknowledge her. What they’re doing now by denying her cancels any good they did by creating her in the first place. What? Did they scare themselves? It’s 2007, DC (and you, too, Marvel), women read superhero comics and they’re bugged about a lot of things. A memorial case for Stephanie Brown is a good start and easy way to start making your comics slightly less misogynistic. You can’t undo the incredibly creepy way you killed her, but you can show her some respect. And maybe some of this respect will eventually wend its way into the rest of our society. Worth a try, yes?

Full disclosure: I do not use Avon products, but some of them sound pretty cool now.

This post is about a lady who sells Avon in Las Vegas, New Mexico (the original Vegas!), is a single mom, has a wonderful blog, has super ideas, has no health insurance, and no longer has an ovarian cyst.

Birdie Jaworski writes wacky reviews and stories about selling Avon in a small New Mexico town, one of her latest product reviews was of a thing, and it really is a “thing” called Avon Tiara Boom-De-AyTM, and I hope you’ll just go read the review, because I can’t begin to explain it. Okay, it’s a hat-thing you put on your head for Fourth of July, but Birdie really gets the bizarreness of across way better than I ever could. You will see that this woman works hard for every Avon dollar she makes.

Birdie’s super ideas are many, but the ones I especially like are her downloadable FREE e-books of Avon product reviews, Does that Avon product work?, and tips for Avon Ladies, or whatever they’re called now. Do men sell Avon? It’s the 21st Century, I don’t see why not. Like I said, I don’t use Avon, but it’s been decades since I’ve even seen Avon and some of the new stuff sounds really cool. Like, the hand and nail cream stuff that helps your nails grow. I might get some of that to see if it helps my out of control, rock-hard, raggedy cuticles that drive me nuts. Birdie has tried these products and also collects reviews from her customers and fellow Avon Ladies, so they’re honest and amusing reviews. Selling Avon must be hard work, but she makes it sound like fun.

Which brings me to her recent posts about having an ovarian cyst removed,* which didn’t sound like fun and cut into her sales time. According to her blog, which I have no reason to doubt, Birdie makes enough on Avon to support her family, but only to carry health insurance on her kids. I’ve no idea how much her local social services will pick up on her hospital and treatment bill, but I can’t believe it will be very much. So, please go give Birdie a couple of bucks. You can get some e-books and a few laughs and help someone who usually doesn’t need help, but until we have universal healthcare, there’s going to be a lot of these stories. There’s a donation button on the right sidebar her blog. And if you need more reason, her boys are Trekkies and I think she’s even sold Avon in a NextGen uniform. But don’t quote me on that.

* Here’s the third and final essay in the series. (041207 GM)

Avoid this if you don’t care about comic books and the female gaze or whatever it is.

So Kevin (no, not that one) raises this question about Stephanie Brown:

“Stephanie Brown played the role of Robin for three publishing months, in comics that were cover dated July, August, and September 2004. As far as I can tell, this compresses down to a shorter time in the comics - probably a month to six weeks. The Girl Wonder folks make a very compelling argument about why there should be a memorial to the girl who wore the costume for such a brief amount of time, but I have a question.

“Why is this so important? Wouldn’t the desired legacy of this short-lived Robin be better served by either supporting superhero comics with strong female roles or creating comics with female characters that can serve as an example?

“A glass case being drawn into a single location won’t change anything substantial in the medium, will it? It’s not a solution; only a reminder that there was a problem.”
A Question for Those Who Care, Beaucoup Kevin, March 29, 2007

And waaaaay far down in the comments, I sez:

“Kevin, re: why Stephanie Brown

Stephanie Brown in a rallying point for women who read comics and don’t like the way women are portrayed in them. There are many rallying points for women who read comics and don’t like the way women are represented in them, way too many. If you took every woman on the Women in Refrigerators list and made her a rallying point for every women outraged by that character’s death, you’d have an army on your hands very soon. I’m not saying that couldn’t happen, but hopefully things will improve before that becomes necessary.

“Girl Wonder’s focus is broader, if you’d pardon the expression, than you let on:

“‘Girl-Wonder.org is a collection of sites dedicated to females in mainstream comics. Our goals are to foster an attentive, empowered audience community and to encourage respect and high-quality character depiction within the industry.’

“So it’s not just Stephanie Brown.”
Comments on “A question for those…” post

So, then I reads Me and Stephanie Brown, by a writer I respect over at GirlWonder.org and I am puzzled enough to leave this comment:

“Is it really all just about Stephanie Brown? Or is there a larger issue here? Like, the negative representation of women in comics and other media lead to the mistreatment of real women in the real world. Because if it’s just about Stephanie Brown, sister, you’ve lost me.”

My comment is in moderation; I hope she answers me.

Yeah, I probably could be making better use of my time, but this is starting to bug me badly.
