this post is beautiful because it really hits a chord.
Some things that have done for me what "stone butch blues" seems to have done for you:
Movie: Paris is Burning Third Antennae: The Radical Potential of Drag Books: White Like Me by Tim Wise Kill the Indian, Save the Man by Ward Churchill (although, I have heard Churchill be very strongly critiqued for some other actions/comments, this book was intense, easy to understand and powerful in its straightforward message. Zines: Support (about learning to be a supportive friend/lover/partner/etc to people who have experienced sexual violence) Ring of Fire by Hellery Homosex
Buster Keaton movies make me happy. I like "The General". odoka.org is my fave film maker's website (lower right corner, click on the target sympbol) Her links page (cross pollination) is super. imdb.com, the internet movie database is amazing if you want to look for some yet-unseen movies, and Videomatica on 4th is where you can find them most of the time. The French-Canadian centre on 7th and Fir is where tu peux louer des films en francais gratuits. The Instant Coffee free mailing list tells me all about art events and calls for submission in the city. The Raw Vision Network on the web is the biggest portal to outsider and self-taught artists. You'll know which outsider/raw/self-taught gallery to go to no matter where you are in the world. Shameless Magazine, really great articles, think I gave a copy to your sister once. The Kurt Cobain movie "about a son" shows us why it is so important to be unapologetic in our expression of our art forms. The Pacific Cinematheque Mailing list is a good thing to get on as well!
have you read anything by derrick jensen? i haven't, but i heard him speak recently and afterwards wanted to go and blow up dams. from his site:
"'We are members of the most destructive culture ever to exist. Our assault on the natural world, on indigenous and other cultures, on women, on children, on all of us through the possibility of nuclear suicide and other means--all these are unprecedented in their magnitude and ferocity.'
So began my first book, Listening to the Land. Why do we act as we do? What are sane and effective responses to outrageously destructive behavior? What will it take for us to stop the horrors that characterize our way of being? My work and life revolve around these questions."
