Tw: death?

Brooks ears were ringing and her vision was blurry as she stared up at the open sky.

She felt herself stay to slip away from the rest of the world.

She knew there was blood pooling underneath her.

She heard screams, demands for her to stay awake.

It was that moment she knew her luck had run out.

There were sobs as Brook closed her eyes. Someone shook her body, and she could tell they were speaking but she couldn't make out any words.

Brook jolted awake.

She sat up and looked around.

She wasn't in the middle of gods know where, she was in her cabin.

"Just a dream..." she whispered to herself.

But she felt a nagging in the back of her head.

Demigod dreams aren't normal dreams

Now, that was anything but a good sign.

She buried her head in her hands.

I'm starting to think I'm cursed.

La histeria fue, durante largo tiempo, la bestia negra de los médicos, puesto que representaba, para todos, un miedo enorme: era una aporía convertida en síntoma. Ahora bien, ese síntoma era el síntoma de ser mujer; así de burdo; y todo el mundo lo sabía. Ustéra: lo que está completamente detrás, en el fondo, en el límite: la matriz. La palabra «histeria» aparece por primera vez en el aforismo trigésimo quinto de Hipócrates, en el que se lee: «En una mujer atacada de histeria, o que tiene un parto difícil, el estornudo que le sigue resulta favorable». Esto significa que el estornudo coloca el útero en su lugar, en su verdadero lugar; significa que el útero tiene la capacidad de desplazarse. Significa que esta especie de «miembro» propio de la mujer es un animal.

—Georges Didi-Huberman, «Mil formas, bajo ninguna» en La invención de la histeria. Charcot y la iconografía fotográfica de la Salpêtrière. Traducción de Tania Arias y Rafael Jackson.

Today’s throwback is to Jenson Leonard’s solo exhibition Workflow, at Wood Street Galleries in Pittsburgh, from the beginning of February.

From the gallery about the work-

Workflow, the first institutional solo exhibition of artist Jenson Leonard, centers on a titular film that explores the velocity and momentum of Blackness as it relates to the philosophical concept of acceleration—the notion that the only way out of capitalism is through its intensification.

In Workflow, a spectral Michael Jackson Halloween mask recites a surrealistic quarterly earnings reports. Building on a 2017 essay by artist Aria Dean titled “Notes on Blacceleration,” the short film centers on the ways in which the Black subject grapples with its commodified status within the labor market despite—or, resultant of—its own history as a commodity, stemming back to the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. Completed during Leonard’s residency at Pioneer Works in 2021, the video utilizes uncanny humor as a mechanism to expose the shared grammars inherent in Afro-pessimism and speculative finance.

Within the exhibition, the film repeats simultaneously across two grids of computer monitors situated on ergonomic desks that flank the gallery, mimicking the workstations that can be found ubiquitously across stock trading floors and financial institutions. Sculptures modeled after computer keyboards and mouses are displayed on the desks, each rendered inoperable by concentric riffs that symbolize the erratic transformations caused by the flows of capital. The appearance of Jackson represents a transmogrification of its own; whereas many have aligned the controversial pop icon’s bleached skin and surgical procedures with Black self-hatred, Leonard positions his bodily modifications as a radical rupture from racial paradigms of being.

In Leonard’s own words, “Workflow is defined as the sequence of industrial, administrative, or other processes through which a piece of work passes from initiation to completion. My film seeks to disabuse notions of completion, whether it be completion of the human, the nation state, or civil society. As Dean notes, Blackness is ‘always already accelerationist’ via its incongruence with Western humanism, a wrench thrown into the locomotive gears of ‘capital and subjecthood.’ Her essay prompts us to look toward the way that the Black has been historically constructed outside of the human, as coterminous with the slave. Slavery therefore represents a kind of proto-automation, a mass forced coercion of labor, and the Blacks’ transition from object to subject calls for a reappraisal of accelerationist ideas about the (non)human entity and its revolutionary potential.”

The artist continues, “There is something about going to work—the repetition of it—that gets inscribed at an epigenetic level, as an everyday, embodied violence. From there, I thought about the panoptic workplace (open air plan, transparent yet closely surveilled, management that does not have to be in the room to be monitoring you), the fetish of efficiency (ergonomic mouse and keyboards so you can work longer), biometric data of a labor force (fingerprint and facial scans to help reduce repeat processing tasks). All of these methods to maximize profits and production can be traced back to methods worked out and perfected in the cotton and sugar cane fields hundreds of years prior.”

The text from the video was included on one of the gallery walls (image above) but I’ve included it below as well as it is definitely worth reading.

“Looking out across the macro- Panoptic eyes are everywhere. Predictive models rendered bilious, You are scalable, You contain platitudes. Clean and renewable, black from the waste management down. These are micro-credentials too big to fail. Angel investors watch over you, guide you through your webinar. You are green with infrastructure. A Nick Land acknowledgment. A multiprocession of the tiniest micropixels in all of the Anglosphere. Plan your obsolescence. Chitin’ circuitry courses through you. Wayward modulation thrumming, throbbing like an old techno spiritual. A Self driving mythology Keloid optimized. Upload speeds faster than Drapetomania. A contactless, decentralized, hands free accumulation. The base salary determines the superstructure of your beast of burden of proof of concept. Perfection is the enemy of egress. Pay the heap of flesh no mind, live in the nanosecond. Fake it till you’re skeuomorphic. You’re more than the sum of your outsourced manufacturing components. Know your neural net worth. Walk with your overhead held high. There’s never been more exciting growth in the excrement sector! It is easier to imagine the end of the world than to unsubscribe from my Onlyfans. Rather, If you can’t handle me at my Linkedin you don’t deserve me at my locked in chastity. Will you risk it all to manage my assets? Are you willing to do my taxes from the back? Tax to mouth? From the overton window, to the overton wall, to the overton sweat drop down my overton balls. Going, going… Zong.”

Types of feminism that I don't subscribe to include:

1 - Feminists who advocate for KAM, i.e. kill all men. Just in general telling people to shut up (an exclusively fascist move) or that they don't have the inherent right to live or should die or should kill themselves. Who are you to decide who has the right to speak? Who are you to say who should live or die? Especially when describing a whole demography that necessarily includes both good and bad people. That's bigotry by definition.

2 - Feminists who recommend American icons of ultra-violence such as Andrea Dworkin, who supported incest and bestiality; Valerie Solanas, who tried to kill Andy Warhol purely as a publicity stunt for her play; Jodi Arias, who brutally murdered her boyfriend for wanting to leave her...

So many of these "feminist" icons, both the ones in real life and in fiction, when you look closely at them, could be described as just like a man... at his very worst. Like, everything that feminists rightly and correctly point out in men as dangerous and anti-social, their sense of arrogant self-entitlement, their possessiveness and God complex, their violence and self-pity, just everything that comprises toxic masculinity that we can all recognize as something that must be stopped for all our sakes - that's what these "feminists" zero in and praise in women when it's women displaying the exact same behavior.

In many ways, these women are basically trans men, in the sense that they openly admire some of the worst most typically male behaviors and essentially their feminism consists of thinking that women should be more like that, i.e. women should be just like a man. Because they don’t like or respect women, and they wish they were like men and, well, they are.

3 - Heterophobic lesbians who tell young, impressionable girls that the best thing for them is to never have sex, if sex with men is their sexual orientation, all in the name of feminism, of course. That’s castration and gaslighting. Their argument being that men will hurt you, when statistics point out that there is a problem of violence among lesbians, but this type of feminist is always dead silent on that.

4 - Feminists whose idea of the perfect, utopic society is an Anarcho-primitivist separatist commune in the middle of the woods somewhere, away from men and the society built to men’s specifications... instead of advocating for a better society where women do have an input in the decision making. If this type of feminists had their way that would translate to women removing themselves from society to go and bury themselves in a pre-industrial hut where their voices would be completely silenced and neutralized. Something that benefits only the most misogynist of men.

5 - The anti-beauty stance that is closely connected to the "no sex with men, ever" rule, disguised as a righteous anti-gender stance. Briefly, this type of feminist conflates gender when it refers to the way that women are kept in the home and away from political power, i.e. gender roles; and gender in the sense of grooming yourself to emphasize the inherent characteristics of your sex, to look more attractive to the opposite sex. These feminists misrepresent these two different things as being inextricably the same, so if you’re a straight woman wearing a dress because you like being a woman and you want to see yourself looking more like a female and as little as possible like a man, they will accuse you of advertising with your appearance your political stance as a tradfem and a tradcath who wishes we could all go back to the 50s and become Stepford Wives again.

Understand that these “feminists” have nothing against a gender-coded appearance... as long as it’s the right gender, the masculine gender. As long as you look very butch and masculine, with actual hair on your face and a look so butch one could almost say you’re cross-dressing, they will praise you as the ideal. It’s only femininity they object to because, again, they don’t like women. It’s man that is the default human being and woman is unreal and a social construct to be abolished. The internalized misogyny is strong with these ones.

As for effeminate men, whatever their sexual orientation may be, these “feminists” accuse them of being ridiculous (SIC) and of contributing to perpetuate femininity, that form of “oppression”. As if any little girl has ever aspired to looking like a man in drag. No.

The other argument is that femininity in a man is a form of perversion, a typical far-right fascist talking point if ever there was one. The only thing I have to say to these fascists is that they are the cause of their problem. Bev Jackson, one of the founders of the LGB Alliance (pointedly without the T), is correct in saying that in a society that accepted gender non-conformity both in men and women (i.e. feminine men and masculine women, either in their “roles” or appearance) homophobic and sexist trans procedures would become a thing of the past because it would no longer be possible to brainwash people who are simply gay and/or gender non-conforming into thinking they must be inwardly a person of the opposite sex born in the wrong body.

TL;DR whenever these “feminists” shame effeminate men they’re just creating another victim of transgenderism. Whenever they convince a woman that there’s something wrong with her for having sexual feelings for men, or sexual feelings at all, or for wanting to look more like a woman than a man, they’re just creating another mental health patient who will be further victimized by the same psychologists who are transing 3 year olds. They’re completely irresponsible and just bad for society.

6 - The anti-beauty stance that is nothing more than celebrity gossip.

I’ve checked the cost of lip injections - one of the cheapest things you can do - and google said that the cost of a full syringe averages between $500 and $1,000, and that women you see on social media get, easily, two to three syringes' worth, if not more.

Look, I’m very sorry. I understand that rich people have existential problems too, and that a rich woman who lives in a palace and has a hundred lip injections in her face can commit suicide like everyone else. But the truth is that the overwhelming majority of people’s problems can be easily solved with a lot of money that they don’t have, and that is why they have a lot of problems, it’s because they just don’t have the dough.

If you are in the 1% that can afford to throw away money on completely unnecessary vanity procedures like lip injections and spend, say, $2.100 to go from normal lips to blowfish; if you can afford this while being a girl in high-school, or a young adult trying to make it on her first job’s salary, or as a mother who has to support herself and her kids in a world where women are consistently paid less than men and don’t get the promotion or the bonus... Then you are not the person who typically needs help from the feminist movement.

Case in point is domestic violence. I know some women just can’t leave for psychological reasons... but please tell the truth and admit that most women would simply pack up their bags and the reason they don’t is almost always because they can’t afford it. It’s a money problem and nothing else.

So if your “problems” are whether you ought to waste money you should be giving to the poor in giving in to societal pressure to conform to Cosmo’s beauty ideal... then you are doing fine. If you are an average woman and you’re discussing the merits and demerits of plastic procedures you will never be able to afford, procedures that are no more in your horizon than a trip to the moon, then you’re just gossiping about the Kardashians in a forum where ordinary women are trying to discuss their real life problems. Shame on you.

Guys. I figured out why Percy’s left eye has been twitching since the ariae curse monsters in Tartarus. It’s because Ethan Nakamura gave up his left eye. Eye for an eye. Phantom pains.

Ethan didn’t mean for his last wish to be a curse. He meant it as a remembrance. He wanted Percy to remember him and the reason he he did everything. Ethan wanted Percy to remember the reason this all happened and to not let it happen again. Ethan’s last dying wish wasn’t a curse at all, but it still fit the regulations of the ariae.

And in a way the remembrance was a curse for Percy, even if he didn’t realize what the eye twitch meant. The ariae used Ethan’s wish trying to curse Percy with remembering past trauma of the Battle of Manhattan, remembering what he could have done better or differently, maybe so many demigods and their allies wouldn’t have died.

But Percy didn’t get the memo right away. He still has no idea why his eye twitches randomly. Maybe he’ll realize someday. Maybe he’ll keep wondering about his eye for the rest of his life. Maybe he’ll keep wondering into his old age and inevitable death and he walks through the pearly gates of Elysium and starts catching up with a few old friends and acquaintances.

And this scraggly looking 16 or 17 year old with an eye patch on his left eye comes up to old man Percy and says,

“Hey man, sorry for my dying wishing that your left eye would randomly twitch and have mild phantom pains like mine did”

And Percy Realizes and Remembers.
