“It’s a about manifestations and not about people. Psychological and neurotic manifestations are the driving engine of the atmosphere of the film. It’s about emotions and feelings and neuroses and not about people necessarily.” observed about Hitchcock’s 1960 classic Psycho on Big Picture with Wesley Morris ⁠

Where they also talk about how it is about time. How present actions, become past as we watch Marian attempt to fix something she did in the past. ⁠

“Needing to have reality confirmed and experience enhanced by photographs is an aesthetic consumerism to which everyone is now addicted. Industrial societies turn their citizens into image-junkies; it is the most irresistible form of mental pollution. Poignant longings for beauty, for an end to probing below the surface, for a redemption and celebration of the body of the world—all these elements of erotic feeling are affirmed in the pleasure we take in photographs. But other, less liberating feelings are expressed as well.” ⁠
⁠
― Susan Sontag, “On Photography”⁠
⁠
Sontag wrote this in the 1977, too bad this assessment is no longer relevant with all the progress we’ve made… ⁠

426 |⁠ Rae talked about how when people come to the conversation about gender diversity and trans folks with fear it can be because they don’t fully understand it. Rae talks about “gender as a galaxy” where, like the night sky, gender will always be more vast and complex than we can fully understand and that’s a good thing. ⁠
A recent issue of BLURT quotes activist and writer iO Tillett Wright, “Familiarity is the gateway drug to empathy.”⁠
⁠
BLURT, is written by my friend and previous guest Deenie and it is one of my favorites. Deenie writes in the essay, “All my life, I’ve had the privilege of living in a socially acceptable body and authentically identifying with a socially acceptable gender and sexuality. My life could have taken a million different turns, but it didn’t. I know what this life is like. I’ve seen this side….”
“I think about how people often choose a side without ever having seen the other side. I read once that some wildly high percentage of anti-gay activists didn’t even know a gay person. Why are we attacking people? Threatening their safety and livelihood? Narrowing people’s vision to a pale, whitewashed veil of what could—and should—be a rich coat of color? It’s wonderful when people believe in something, but not at the expense of someone else’s health, safety, and happiness.” ⁠

“I didn't have many tunes on Beatles records, so doing an album like “All Things Must Pass” was like going to the bathroom and letting it out,” George Harrison when he released his triple album.

No one likes to feel backed up… in ideas, in thought spirals, feelings, tasks, in traffic m, etc.

reading this quote from the quiet Beatle made me feel better about the name of this both this basically recorded talking project and the book I wrote about journaling…

Sunday I’m hosting a wholesome writing workshop at a book store in my neighborhood, come if you’re around.

The first image is a page from,
1942- Woody Guthrie’s notebook, dated the day of this workshop. It’s a letter to his future kid, with advice on love, politics, and handling emotions… the next one is from…

1943, he wrote 33 “New Year’s Rulins’” in his journal,
especially love:
“keep hope machine running”
“learn people better”

2016, I discovered this list and rompts we’ll do this weekend… link upstairs to rsvp… you may be thinking it’s late do do a new year’s thing? well the new year really should spring.

in conclusion, see you then? it will be a place likely for friendmaking and hopefully… if I do my job—it will be useful, or come to, in the words of Guthrie’s 20th rulin’ “have company but don’t waste time”

NEW episode with Ryann!! haven't posted on here in ages but worth digging up my FB password to share about this one...

This week I speak with hair stylist Ryann Bosetti. She’s one of my favorite people to talk to, so we recorded for three hours at her studio a few weeks ago. Ryann has lived many fascinating lives. She is incredibly wise, special, mystical, and has sage insight around so many topics, so I’m break...

There’s a part in this week’s episode with author Mary Jelkovsky, where she tells how she started as an influencer at 16. Now at 25, she’s pondering what that’s doing to her brain, how to talk about her work to people offline, and what she wants to do next. And how she’s considering getting a flip phone to experiment.

Mary had me on her podcast a couple months ago and when we recorded, I wanted to keep talking to her so we made another where I interview her. So this episode is a combination of the two, the first half is my interview with her where we talk about how our age difference impacts how we each view social media and technology. As a teen fitness model she was growing rapidly online, which led her to disordered eating, into recovery, and eventually to the work she’s doing now to help let go of food and body obsession.

And the second half is a clip from my episode on her show where we talk about how her disordered eating and recovery led her to find this podcast, ambition, talking about what we do to strangers, creative output, evolving niches, what my creative consulting clinic is, and more.
let us know if you listened
