Can’t really speak publicly on the wonderful new developments in my life for a bit as it could affect my income but if you see me out ask me about the wonderful new developments in my life!

Agree, I don’t think they ever broke through to mass recognition. Google AI tells me there are no sleigh bells songs with sleigh bells but Google ai is not to be trusted!

This response paper following a Chris Kraus lecture at undergrad in 2007 always tickles me a bit. tf did I know about the capitalist system of repression at that big age?
Genevieve
Some of the thoughts that came up for me during Kraus lecture:
* I was pretty inspired by the fact that she has a similar history to where I am now.
I am becoming more deeply involved in experimental
theatre and my own performance work, yet have a very serious interest in writing, both creative and critical. It seems to me that she has managed to marry both kinds of writing and has based a large part of her knowledge on a personal history deeply entwined in he arts.
This
is exciting to see as a possible direction my own art might one day take.
* One thing which distressed me in her critique was the emphasis she gave to the New York art world being the epitome of success as if the only measure for any artists worth pivoted individual achievement.
This is something I am questioning more and more as I assess what me life goals are for creative expression.
I do not believe that
recognition by a money mongering upper class elite would be the marker for people who themselves do not wear this badge and who likely shit upon it in their conceptual underpinnings.
I am currently being made
more aware of the variety of alternative arts organizations in existence whose motives lie in generating thoughtful discourse among individuals and provide environmental (social or physical) altering schemes to work within to serve a greater social function.
That Kraus
seems to view success as acceptance in an altogether rich, male dominated sphere misses the point I think when so many alternative forms of expressive success have been established and many more should be established.
With this optimistic viewpoint female artists might
innovate rather than conform to an altogether capitalistic system of repression for artists which to me is the established art world gallery system.

felt proud to be in the mega group show at the underground diy gallery, actually. I didn't exactly think I'd still be doing that kinda thing at this time in my life, but also appreciate being a part of spaces that haven't been consumed by the art-as-world scene. community vibes etc

Of course the discourse around the NPC TikToker’s LIVE is about labor as well, erotic labor & skirting the heavy censorship on the TT app. I’ve spent periods of time engaging in erotic TT LIVE labor & found it absolutely breathtaking how horniness rules everything around me. More on that soon

New to the ontologically rich universe of TikTok LIVES? I began writing about my visceral reaction to them, particularly lives that feature documentation of labor: have peek gorgeoustaps.substack.com

Several close friends have announced their pregnancies to me this week and while I feel very happy for their happiness, I do wonder what will happen as my friends, my loves, get cordoned off into nuclear arrangements. Will I lose these familiarities, in shirking the familial shape?
