heyy first off im obsessed w your account and the underdog quartet but also i feel like, with your new jess/paris playlist post, we need to acknowledge paris and jess’s first interaction when paris went into luke’s diner in “Richard goes to stars hollow” they had a very subtle interaction but he was clearly memorable enough to her to remember him and his name. I wonder if whenever paris when to stars hollow in the future she would look for jess what do you think
Thank you so much for this ask and the kind words!!! I’m obviously obsessed with UQ too, so finding more people who love that dynamic is just amazing!
Also yes we only had about two direct interactions between Paris and Jess but holy shit was the platonic chemistry there!! Paris bothering to remember him is something I would love to take as a sign that she was a Jess gal (especially since if you combine that with Keiko Agena saying she and Lane are team Jess, that means all my faves support my ship!)
Now for Jess and Paris specifically, I could honestly give you three different types of answers for this. First is that ASP and company didn’t feel like exploring that dynamic, so Paris probably doesn’t think about Jess or seek him out in the future, especially not after Rory’s break up. But that take is boring so let’s go for wild headcanons!
The second approach is on the more realistic side. I bet that Paris would avoid bringing up Jess every time he popped into her mind in front of Rory, but she would be too desperate to finally have that decent conversationalist to not bug Rory about him. She probably wouldn’t head over to Stars Hollow of her own accord considering how disappointed she was with the research results for that article, but she would ask about when Jess could come over to Hartford so she could rip his literary takes to shreds at a nearby cafe or at the elder Gilmores. Once Jess and Rory were a couple, Paris would double down on her requests but probably only have them met once or twice (Jess has work, Rory still has a tendency to compartmentalize parts of her life etc.). Post-breakup Paris would take Rory’s side, but secretly be sad to see a potential friend go. She probably felt like this guys really could be something, not just for Rory who seemed to finally get decent taste in boys, but for Paris who was finally starting to get more true friends. She carries a secret team Jess torch for the rest of the series but hides it in general criticism of any and all guys Rory is involved with.
On to approach three, aka balls to the walls whatever I want!! Hold on to your hat because this will be a long and windy ride:
After the diner-meet, Paris is intrigued by the guy who played along with her interrogation and eye-flirted with Rory. She doesn’t think she’ll see him again, but she would be lying if she said she didn’t want to.
After the dinner at Rory’s, Paris is honestly elated to finally have a great literary conversation with a guy her age. The only one to have come close is Rory, and that doesn’t say much for the «opposite sex» in Paris’ eyes. But she’s also furiously disagreeing with Jess’ «Austen loves Bukowski»-take, so she writes a whole several page argumentative essay and forces Rory to deliver it to Jess the next school day.
Jess responds not with a letter, but by having Rory hand Paris an annotated («blasphemy!») copy of a Bukowski work. There are no arguments from Jess notes, just underlines of quotes he thinks Austen would approve of, and excerpts from different Austen works put in the margins for comparison. Paris despises him for how much she is seeing his point.
At some point Rory get’s sick of being a carrier pigeon and drags Paris with her to ST after school so the two can fight in person. All three stay until Lorelai pops over for dinner, and Paris realizes she needs to haul herself over to the bus. She’s hungry and worried about the time she should have spent on homework, but ultimately really happy about the day.
She’s bummed to see Jess go after the car accident, but doesn’t have much time to think about it between school and… well, school. She does end up being one of the few Rory can talk to about Jess without getting the whole «bad bad boy»-speech she gets over in ST and at her grandparents’.
Rory doesn’t tell Paris Jess is back until the very end of their Washington trip when Paris finds the unfinished letter and Paris is boiling. She does cool quickly, but only to constantly bug Rory about when the three of them are going to meet up again for coffee and verbal war. Rory gets so stressed about it that at some point she gives Paris the number to Luke’s and tells her to go on her own for all Rory cares.
Paris does. Jess is surprised, but they get in the groove quick. What doesn’t go as smoothly is Paris asking what the hell is going on between him and Rory. His non-answers pretty much spell everything out, and in a rare moment of comradery, Paris decides to turn the conversation in to hating on Dean. Jess appreciates it. It doesn’t happen again, but Paris firmly puts herself in the team Jess camp from then on.
Paris is releived once Jess and Rory finally are together and it is great! More cafe talks! Study sessions! Movie nights! They even sneak both Paris and Lane out into concerts! Paris feels like for the first time in a very long time, she has real friends her own age. The kind who actually like you for you and want to spend time with you for you, not just to get better grades or a better reputation.
Paris sucks at being strong for Rory when Jess leaves. Like, she takes it really personal. This was supposed to be the one good guy, and he decided to be just like everyone else. But with time she learns to coach Rory into speaking her mind about the whole thing, and to support her in her own Paris-y way.
What she doesn’t tell Rory is that at some point after summer break (either because she gets hold of Jess for some scolding or because Lane does and spills to Paris or even if Jess gets in touch himself) Jess starts sending Paris beat up books he collects on the road around the country. None of them feature letters (at first), but annotations at the beginning declaring his safety and momentary location, as well as his general style annotations of the book inside the text. Paris starts responding with letters, and with time they start talking on phones and through email.
Paris helps Jess with his GED. They make it an equal study-buddy thing because Paris needs help taking certain writers seriously in her essays. Most of their sessions are over the phone, and a lot of it is just them daring each other to actually try. Paris gets actual stars on her improved essays, and Jess passes with flying colours.
Paris doesn’t know about Truncheon until Jess stands in front of her place ages later, dressed like a Kids Bop version of himself and holding a messengerbag with his debut novel. Paris tears through it in two hours (forcing Jess to sit on the couch next to her the whole time) and then spends another half hour furiously trying to tear it to shreds but actually praising it. She gives him their first hug ever, and hopes this afternoon is a sign they’ll slowly get back to being close friends in person.
Paris sucks at hiding how team Jess she is. So. Much. She does have genuine critiques of Logan and other guys, but her gut-defenses of Jess at random times in the day and weird reminiscing back to the «good old days» of diner talk after school gives her away immediately. Rory is uncomfortable, but Paris doesn’t even change her mind after Rory still picks Logan.
What she does do is invite Jess over for grown up evenings with Doyle. Whenever Rory is scheduled to be out and Jess needs to visit Luke anyway, Paris extends her invitation. They test wines based on price and taste, watch cult classics, eat takeout (in honour of Paris’ very first Mac and Cheese night) and talk for hours. One day wires cross and Jess gets in while Rory is there/Rory gets back while Jess is there and things get awkward.
Paris invites Jess to the graduation. Yes she has a limited amount of tickets and yes it’s weird to invite your friend who has barely been around ever but damn it she wants him there. He came to her when he was celebrating his accomplishments, she wants him to be there for hers.
They actually grow even closer as adults; emailing, texting and calling regularly. About 70% of it is general banter and picking on everything and everyone around them, but it’s a far more loving kind now — not that anyone who isn’t them would know, from the outside it looks like they want to kill each other. Regardless of outcome, Paris remains forever team Jess, and the two end up having each other’s backs for life.
So this went long and away from the point (and I only went through Paris’ pov!) but it was fun to write! I hope you like rant answers!

if you want to share your nastya cybernetics thoughts, i would love to hear them! :0
ohohoh, you've opened the floodgates now!! prepare to be infodumped on!!
this is going under a readmore because oh boy, oh fucking boy, is this going to get long- and by long, i mean 3.4k words long. i'm going to cover a lot here- nastya's cybernetics, real world computer-human nervous system interfacing experiments, and how that all relates to nastya and aurora's relationship.
links to the separate articles i took these facts from will be in a reblog, since tumblr gets messy with links.
also, if anyone wants to use any part of this for reference, be it in fanart/writing, please feel free! i didn't do all of this research just to keep to to myself! :>
(CW's for: surgery talk, infant injury/medical malpractice, nastya and aurora's death.)
the first thing i want to cover here is the technical specifics of nastya's ARI, or her Augmented Reality Interface. in the Cyberian Demons fiction, we get this line-
"Mechanical arms stroke the baby’s flesh, even as others start the process of implanting augmented reality interfaces into its nervous system."
so from this line, i figured that the "hub" computer of nastya's ARI would be in her neck, aka, what i believe is the central point of the nervous system in a human body...? i'm not actually certain. regardless, that's where i think it'd be located.
from there, embedded in her skin subcutaneously, would be polyurethane-insulated pure copper wires, leading to two microwire array nodes, stuck into each hemisphere of her brain through holes drilled into the back of her skull, and all of it concealed beneath her flesh and skin.
and if we're going to talk surgery-wise, she wouldn't even have to be asleep for them to be implanted, which makes sense for how the machines put them into an actively crying baby. (also, aren't baby skulls malleable and fragile? so it's easier to drill. i'm sorry. i'm so sorry.)
really, to have her brain microwire array nodes operated on, nastya would just need a strong anesthetic, such as lipsomal bupivacaine, which keeps you numb for abt 72 hours, and has been used before in spinal surgeries where the patient is awake. or, she could just only need a regular bupivacaine anesthetic, as long as it gets her numb enough.
"wait, wait, hold on a fucking minute, orangezinnia," i hear you saying- or maybe not, i can't actually hear you- "where the hell did you get all of these ideas? show me your research." and i shall! buckle in, cause we're about to take a trip through Science!
first, the microwire/microelectrode array, which i will henceforth be referring to as the MEA. this was taken from a stanford university experiment article about a potential way for the brain's neural activity to be tracked over a large scale, while being minimally invasive. again, the link will be in a reblog, but directly from the article-
"The device, the subject of a paper published March 20 [2020] in Science Advances, contains a bundle of microwires, with each wire less than half the width of the thinnest human hair. These thin wires can be gently inserted into the brain and connected on the outside directly to a silicon chip that records the electrical brain signals passing by each wire- like making a movie of neural electrical activity. Current versions of the device include hundreds of microwires, but future versions could contain thousands."
and here's a picture of it!
[image ID: A photograph of Stanford Universitiy's small, cylindrical microwire array node, resting on its side on a black tray. At its top end is a yellow-tinged translucent silicon tip, the middle is colored black, and at the bottom end is a bundle of straight, needle-like white microwires. In the foreground is a blurry pair of tweezers for scale, which is much larger than the microwire node. /end ID]
(ive never done an image id before btw, so if anyone wants to correct me on something in there, i'd be happy to edit it!)
these MEA's are only used to record neural activity, even then in a still limited range, but what i believe nastya's ARI-MEA does is have a range that encompasses her entire brain, and it can send signals that stimulate activity wherever it needs to, particularly in her optical nerves, perhaps to project the memory shards that we see Nastya experiencing in the Cyberian Demons fiction, or the "dreams" that flicker in the mother that gave birth to the baby, or the "quaint tea parties" that nastya's mom uploads in the Cyberian Demons song. Or, as i like to use in my fics, a computer/chat interface seen directly in her vision, behind her closed eyelids.
and this potential is actually supported by another article of an experiment, one where researchers bypassed the eyes to give a blind woman rudimentary vision via an implant in her brain. from the article-
"Gómez was given a six-month window during which she could see a very low-resolution semblance of the world represented by glowing white-yellow dots and shapes. This was possible thanks to a modified pair of glasses, blacked out and fitted with a tiny camera. The contraption is hooked up to a computer that processes a live video feed, turning it into electronic signals. A cable suspended from the ceiling links the system to a port embedded in the back of Gómez’s skull that is wired to a 100-electrode implant in the visual cortex in the rear of her brain."
while what we have now can't quite restore even a limited version of sight, we're talking in terms of Cyberia and The Mechanisms, which means that their technology would be very advanced and futuristic, so i do imagine that Cyberia would use this brain-implant optic-nerve-stimulation approach to be able to create such clear visual processes for their citizens.
now that the brain part is done, onto the rest of her cybernetics! are you ready? i hope you aren't. i hope this essay kicks out your feet from beneath you. let's go!
back to those subcutaneous wires i mentioned earlier- i believe they would lead from the ARI hub in the back of her neck to her wrist ports, and the ports would probably be titanium lined, to prevent the constant contact of copper or other unsavoury metals with her skin and flesh.
the reason i'm calling the wires polyurethane-insulated, and why the ports are titanium lined, is because in pacemakers- you know, the things that are slotted into muscle pockets below your collarbone, and have lead wires that lead into your heart?- have "casing that is usually made of titanium or a titanium alloy. The lead is also made of a metal alloy, but it is insulated by a polymer such as polyurethane." so, if a pacemaker can be made of titanium and polyurethan and be safe, i'm guessing that thosr materials would be safe for nastya's cybernetics, too.
i'm also claiming that the wiring is pure copper, not only because it's a good conductor, but because there are actual pure copper wires out there that are insulated by- you guessed it- (or maybe you didn't, i don't know)- polyurethane!
(also, this doesn't exactly require citing, but i did read a big science article that discussed the biocompatibility of polyurethane polymers for medial device use in the body, and i found it funny how they got a bit miffed about the usage of the word "biocompatability" by other authors.)
"At present, there is a need to clarify the definition of biocompatibility, as several authors consistently overuse the word, creating intolerable confusion. The use of the word needs to be brought back into a better perspective."
"intolerable confusion"... calm down, my dear academic... it's ok... want some tea...? it'll be alright...
anyway, now that's over with, it's time to get into the Real heart of this essay- the empathetic MEA's!
and for this, i'm going to have to give a quick recap of nastya and aurora's relationship. specifically where it pertains to the fact that nastya can feel aurora's "physical" pain.
in Who Killed Dr. Carmilla, we learned that nastya can feel aurora's malfunctions, and also that the malfunctions hurt nastya! ("There has been no malfunction. I would feel any malfunction, it would hurt. I am the only person who could cause a malfunction and that would hurt too.")
admittedly, the phrasing here is a bit vague, but based on reasoning (and my personal headcanons), i'm choosing to believe that "I would feel any malfunction, it would hurt" includes physical damage to the ship, and "I am the only person who could cause a malfunction" refers to the airlocks specifically, as in, Nastya is the only person who knows the coding or commands needed to make the airlock malfunction in the way that Jonny claims it did. ("-maybe something malfunctioned, or one of the bots opened it to clean it out.")
(i'm also betting that the reason the rest of crew aren't seen in any fiction to know about nastya and aurora's empathetic connection is because, as my friend and mechs lore extraordinare @lucky-sevens posits, Scuzz is the one who most likely took the interview! and scuzz, as we know, later left.)
then, in the Cyberian Demons fiction, we learn that nastya can feel the planet's core machines "resonating in her veins" and she can "tell how they glitched".
now, it's mainly conjecture from here on out, but the only two other machines that nastya has probably commonly interacted/connected with ARI wise, (perhaps just for ease of coding access), are the O'Neill ring, which is not sentient, and the Blogbot, which is close to sentience, yet both of whom we hear nothing about her sharing an empathetic connection to like that.
so, from this we can infer that: sentience probably does not play a factor in said connection, so much as the origin of the technology does- meaning, nastya has a deeper connection with cyberian technology.
now, aurora's past and timeline is admittedly spotty and confusing, but it seems pretty safe to say that she was either rebuilt or extensively modified using cyberian technology, and had been so by the time nastya came aboard.
and what has happened to aurora, when nastya finally leaves? aurora's "original" cyberian technologies and advancements have been stripped away, most likely to be replaced with non-cyberian parts. aka, the bits of aurora's biology that allow her and nastya to have that deep connection are gone.
by the sound of it, this wasn't a quick process at all. it was gradual, as tim made "modifications to aurora's guns, and ashes to her storage, and brian to her engines, and the toy soldier to who knows what". it must have taken years, decades, centuries, millenia, for them to finally reach that point, where the only fragment of aurora left was a jagged shard of battered hull plating.
(and hey, do you remember that funny little series of 4 tweets from The Mechanisms's twitter in September of 2013, where tim upgraded the engines, supercharged the artillery, and optimised the loading bay while nastya was gone? and when nastya came back, she killed tim so violently that even jonny d'ville was disturbed? and it was so messy that the only way to clean it up was for ashes to burn tim's remains with kerosene? haha. rememeber? haha.)
do you think aurora knew, all that while? do you think she was aware of what was happening, was prepared for her eventual disconnect from nastya? do you think they could feel it when aurora's panels were pried away, when wires were cut and circuitry was turned off for the final time? do you think they talked about it? cried, grieved? do you think nastya was fulfilling a promise of mutual destruction, when she left that day? when there would be nothing left of the original aurora to love her with?
(Achilles Come Down voice) where you go i'm going, so jump and i'm jumping, 'cause there is no me without you
ok! sad time over. now, all of that is based mostly in canon, and ive got a bunch of personal headcanons that undo all of that- which include nastya's ARI having the ability to empathize with machines based simply on repeated connections, and being able to have that function be turned on and off at will to prevent unwanted connections, and the fact that i wrote over 10k words of out fix-it, and... oh, i have so many thoughts, and i'll unfortunately have to keep them secret for my fic wip- but there it is.
so, how does this tie into her cybernetics? for that, we'll have to look into the work of Mark Gasson- most famously known as the first human to ever be infected with a computer virus.
the first experiment of his that i want to touch on is one where, quoted directly from wikipedia-
"In 2002, a microelectrode array was implanted in the median nerve of a healthy human and connected percutaneously [via a needle] to a bespoke processing unit to allow stimulation of nerve fibers to artificially generate sensation perceivable by the subject and recording of local nerve activity to form control commands for wirelessly connected devices."
now, that's pretty vague, so i dug into an article and a scientific paper about the experiemnt, so i'll put in some segements to explain it more in detail!
just to cover exactly what we're talking about, here's a bit from the article, describing the MEA-
"Microelectrode arrays contain multiple electrodes that become distributed within the fascicle of the mixed peripheral nerve. In this way, direct access can be gained to axons from various sense organs such as cutaneous receptors, muscle spindles, or motor neurons to specific motor units. The device therefore enables a multichannel nerve interface. [the report investigates] the use of a microelectrode array to form a bidirectional link between the human nervous system and a computer."
and here's a picture of the MEA they put into his [the subject's] median nerve!
[image ID: a 4 millimeter by 4 millimeter microelectrode array, shown on a UK 1 pence piece for scale. The microelectrode array is a thin, gray flat square, with its 100 needle-like microelectrodes pointing upwards. From along its side, extremely thin wires gather into one string, and trail upwards out of frame. /end ID]
basically, from the MEA in his median nerve, the subject was able to control a robotic hand that obeyed the impulses detected by the MEA, as well as an electronic wheelchair! from the article-
"The blindfolded subject received feedback information, obtained from force and slip sensors on the prosthetic hand, and subsequently used the implanted device to control the hand by applying an appropriate force to grip an unseen object.
Finally, the subject was able to control an electric wheelchair, via decoded signals from the implant device, to select the direction of travel by opening and closing his hand."
in particular, i want you to look at that "recieved feedback information" from the first sentence. what happened there is that the sensations percieved by the robotic hand, like how hard an object was being gripped, were sent to the subject as a type of sensation/nerve stimulation!
"A constant current stimulator was implemented to stimulate the same subpopulations of axons with charge balanced, biphasic rectangular pulses with an interphase delay of 100 microseconds and typical pulse duration of 200 microseconds. It was therefore possible to create artificial sensation, giving the subject feedback from the connected systems."
"The sensory data from the hand's fingertips were fed back to the operator, and the grip force and hand flexion were recorded. The subject was asked to open and close the hand by applying the lightest touch to the object with and without the implant's force feedback and with and without visual feedback. As more force was applied to an object, the amount of neural stimulation was increased."
i do have to note that he didn't exactly feel what the robot hand was feeling as if he were holding the object himself, though- only that he was aware of it's grip force by how intense the nerve stimulation was. but, since yet again, we're talking about futuristic Cyberia, i would imagine that they've advanced to the point where such detailed sensations are indeed possible.
and not that you exactly need any more citations, but just for fun, i'd like to mention one more experiement of Mark Gasson's. from what i believe is the same research paper that has the median nerve experiment-
"An experiement was set up to determine if the human brain is able to understand and successfully operate with sensory information to which it had not previously been exposed. Whilst it is quite possible to feed in such sensory information via a normal human sensory route, e.g. electromagnetic radar or infra-red signals are converted to visual, what we were interested in was feeding such signals directly onto the human nervous system, thereby by-passing the normal human sensory input."
so what basically happened in the experiment, was that they placed sensors on a baseball cap and had the participant blindfolded. the sensors would detect when somehing was nearby, and send signals to the MEA to stimulate the median nerve of his arm, which successfully allowed him to navigate around a cluttered lab without using his sight, albiet pretty slowly. but still successfully!
"The sensory input was “felt” as a new form of sensory input (not as touch or movement) in the sense that the brain made a direct link between the signals being witnessed and the fact that these corresponded in a linear fashion to a nearby object."
they also noted that suddenly putting something in range/sight of the sensors had the effect of "frightening the participant", which... makes me kinda sad for some strange reason? like... please don't frighten the man, dear scienctists. come on. he's got metal stuck in his arm. give him a break
so, how i think this applies to nastya, is that she has MEA's embedded into the major nerves of her body, and has wires traveling subcutaneously up to her ARI hub, which then connects to Aurora via radio waves, and allows for sensations within Aurora- be it pain, or... well, you can guess that second word- to be communicated to it, and signals are then sent to nastya's MEA's to stimulate empathetic echoes of the sensations.
if you want to apply this to my canon analysis up there, we can say that those radio wave's frequencies are specific to Cyberian technology alone, so once Aurora's technology is all swapped out for non-cyberian parts, they can't run on the same frequency, and nastya can no longer feel aurora.
(and, hey, have you ever heard about the 52 hertz whale? they're the only whale in the world that emits a call at that pitch. no other whale can answer them at their same hertz, and they've been called the "world's loneliest whale". i feel like this could be applied to nastya, after aurora's gone. but let's leave that as a bit of angst for someone else to pick up, huh?)
also, if you'd like an idea of what nastya's cybernetics might look like, it seems like there'd be a bit of scar tissue around the areas! from the first article about the median nerve experiment-
"A further concern was the possibility of implant rejection by the body. The implant was finally removed on June 18, 2002, 96 days after implantation. At the time of extraction, no signs of rejection were observed; indeed fibrous scar tissue had grown around the implant site, holding it in position. The implant array did not appear to have lifted or tilted from the nerve trunk in that time, with the electrodes still embedded."
"well hell, orangezinnia," i hear you asking- yet again, i can't actually hear you, so i apologize for any innacuracies in the verbatim nature of my relays- "why'd you do all of this research in the first place?" and the answer's quite simple!
i did it for exactly two (2) sentences in a 6k word nastya and aurora fic that i wrote back in september.
i mean. a fan's gotta do what a fan's gotta do, right? heh. hah. hahah. (augghhhh)
aaaaand i think that's about it! i'd usually like to do a recap at the end of these sorts of essays, but this one has a bit too much infomation for me to do that concisely.
anyway, all this to say-
nastya needs a hug so BADLY holy SHIT oh my GOD oh my FUCK she needs a HUG, STAT, IT IS AN EMERGENCY! PRONTO! ASAP! FUCK. SHIT. ASS.

At its core, divine knowing is an exhibition about knowledge, power, and agency. It’s become a more common understanding that governments, institutions, and algorithms will manipulate the public with what information they frame as fact, fiction, or worthy of attention. Though I am early in researching this topic, I've only come across a minimal amount of mainstream discourse on how the initial threat limiting our scope of knowledge is a refusal to listen to ourselves.
In a world faced with so many threats - humans being violent toward each other, toward animals, toward the earth - it can be a bit unsettling to release the reins and allow ourselves to bear witness for a moment, as we slowly develop a deeper awareness of surrounding phenomena and happenings.
divine knowing includes works by formally trained and self-taught artists. A majority of the artists are bisexual, non-binary, or transgender. Regardless of degree-status, gender, or sexuality, these artists have tapped into the autonomous well of self-knowing. Their artworks speak to tactics for opening up to a more perceptive mode of being. They unravel dependencies on external sources for knowledge and what we might recognize, connect with, or achieve once we do.
The installation Femme Digitale by Sierra Bagish originates from a series she began in 2017 by converting photographs of women that were taken and distributed online without the subject’s consent into paintings. Her practice at the time was concerned with female abjection. Sourcing images found via simple keywords and phrases (e.g., passed out, passed out drunk) she swathes a mass-circulated canon of internet detritus that articulates and produces aggression towards women. With her paintings, she circumvents the images’ original framing mechanisms and subverts these proliferated images through a sincere and personal lens.
These paintings divulge the blurred space between idolatry and denigration these online photos occupy, asking whose desires these images fulfill and what their propagation reveals about the culture producing them. While Bagish's work contends with political motivations, she also remains keenly observant of form and the varying utilities of different media.
“I use the expressive potential of paint as a vehicle to intervene and challenge ideas about photography as a harbinger of the real and everyday.”
Chariot Birthday Wish is an artist and angel living in Brooklyn. They have seen The Matrix 28 times in 2 years and love horses. The tarot series included in divine knowing is their most intuitive project, something they revisit when unsure of what to work on next. The Major Arcana are composed of digital collages made from sourced images, the Minor Arcana are represented by short, poetic, interpretative texts about the cards. The series is played on shuffle, creating a unique reading for each viewer. This is a work in progress that will eventually finalize as a completed deck of digital collages available for purchase.
Chariot's work emerges from a constant consideration of apocalypse and connection. They reference technology in tandem with nature and a desire for unity. Underneath their work's surface conversation on beauty, care, and relationship exists an agenda to subtly evoke a conspiratorial anti-state mindset. Through a collective imagining of how good things could be and how good we want them to be, we might be able to reckon with how bad things are in contrast.
“I think about texting my friends from the middle of the woods...
Humans are a part of nature and we created these things. There's this Bjork quote where she says that "You can use pro tools and still be pagan." I'm really into the idea of using technology as a tool for divination and holy connection with nature. I imagine a scene; being in moss, it's absolute bliss, and then the connection of texting, sharing an image of moss with a friend, sharing that moment through cellular towers.”
The album "adding up" by thanks for coming is composed of songs Rachel Brown wrote during what they believe to be the most challenging year of their life. Rachel now looks back on this time in appreciation, recognizing they grew in ways they had never imagined. The entire year, they were committed to following their feelings to wherever it may lead.
“If I hadn't been open to following the almost indiscernible signs I was being sent, then I would have missed out on some of the most important moments in my life.”
Kimberly Consroe holds a Masters in Anthropology along with degrees in Archaeology, Literature, and History. She is currently a Research Analyst at the US Department of Commerce. Her artwork is a passionate escape from a hectic professional life and touches on themes of feminism and nature.
Her works begin as general ideas; their narrative complexity growing with the amount of time she invests in making each one. Her decoupage process starts with cutting hundreds, if not thousands, pieces of paper. The accumulation of clippings sourced from vintage and current-day magazines overlap to tell a story. In Domestication, Kimberly borrows submissive female figures from found images of Ryan Mcguinness's work and places them in a position of power.
“I believe intuition is associated with emotion and experience. It is wisdom and fear, empathy and outrage, distrust and familiarity. It is what we know before we know it. This relates to my artwork in that, from beginning to end, there is never one complete idea concerning the outcome: it is a personal journey. It emerges from an ephemeral narrative that coalesces into a definitive story.”
Anabelle DeClement is a photographer who primarily works with film and is interested in relationships as they exist within a frame. She is drawn to the mystery of the mundane. Intuition exists in her practice as a feeling of urgency and the decision to act on it --- a drive often used to describe street photography where the camera catches unexpected moments in an urban environment. Anabelle tends to photograph individuals with whom she has established personal relationships in a slow domestic setting. Her sense of urgency lies in capturing moments of peak intimacy, preserving a memory's informal beauty that otherwise may have been forgotten or overlooked.
Gla5 is a visual artist, poet, bookmaker, production designer, and educator. Play is at the center of their practice. Their process is an experimental one embracing impulse and adventure. Their compositions are informed by relationships among bodies of varying shapes, materials, and densities. Interests that come up in their work include a discernment between symbols and non-symbols, dream states, the portrayal of energy in action, and a fixation on forms such as cups, tables, and spoons.
“I generally think of my work as depicting a layer of life that exists underneath what we see in our everyday lives.”
Gladys Harlow is a sound-based performance artist, comedian, and activist who experiments with found objects, contact mics, textures, range, analog formats, present moments, and emotions. Through raw, avant-garbage performance art, they aim to breakdown societal barriers, abolish oppressive systems, and empower communities. Gladys was born in Queens, NY, raised in Miami, FL and has deep roots in Venezuela. Currently haunting in Philadelphia, PA, Gladys is a founding member of Sound Museum Collective. SMC holds space for reconstructing our relationships to sounds by creating a platform for women, nonbinary, and trans sound artists and engineers.
Street Rat is a visceral exploration of the mysteries of life. Attempting to bring heavy concepts to your reality, it is the eye on the ground that sees and translates all intersecting issues as they merge, explode, dissolve, and implode. Street Rat is Gladys Harlow's way of comprehending, coping, feeling, taking action, disrupting the status quo, and rebuilding our path.
All Power To The People originated as a recorded performance intended to demystify sound by revealing the tools, wires, and movements used to create it. All Power To The People evolved into an installation conceived specifically for this exhibition. The installation includes a theremin and oscillator built by Gladys, a tarot deck they made by hand, and books from the artist's personal collection, amongst other elements. Gladys has created a structure of comfort and exploration. They welcome all visitors of divine knowing to play with the instrument, flip freely through the books, and pull a tarot card to take home.
Phoebe Hart is an experimental animator and filmmaker. A majority of her work is centered around mental illness and the line between dreams and reality. Merry Go Round is a sculptural zoetrope that changes in shape and color as it spins. Its form is inspired by nature and its color by the circus. The video’s sound was produced by Hayden Waggener. It consists of reverbing chimes which are in rhythm with the stop animation’s movement; both oscillate seamlessly between serene and anxious states.
“I often don't plan the sculptures or objects I am fabricating, there is a vague image in my mind, and my hands take care of the rest. I find that sometimes overthinking is what can get me and other artists stuck. If I just abandon my judgments and ego, I can really let go and create work that feels like it came inherently from me.”
Powerviolets is the solo project of multi-instrumentalist Violet Hetson who is currently based in New York. After experiencing several false starts while bouncing coast to coast, recording and performing with several lineups, Hetson has finally released her debut album. ~No Boys~ namesake is a sarcastic sign she hung on her suburban CT teenage bedroom door. Violet Hetson grew up primarily listening to punk and hardcore. She parses elements of these genres with influences from bands such as X and Suburban Lawns. ~No Boys~ takes a softer, melodic approach to Hetson's punk roots. Powerviolets' music is linear, unconventional, dark, and airy with a sense of humor.
Mary Hunt is a fiber artist specializing in chain stitch embroidery. This traditional form of embroidery uses vintage machinery and thick thread to create fibrous art and embellishments. They use an approach called "thread painting," which requires each stitch to be hand guided by the turn of a knob underneath the table while the speed of movement is controlled by a foot pedal. Chainstitch works can take anywhere from 20 minutes to 200 hours, encouraging a slow and thoughtful process. Mary uses a Cornely A machine, made in Paris more than 100 years ago.
“I think we are sent messages and guidance constantly. Our intuition is simply our ability to clear the path for those messages. The largest obstacles on my artistic path are usually self-imposed negative thoughts. I simply do things to take care of my spiritual well-being, first and foremost, and the rest follows. If I can trust the universe, trust the process, then I am much more likely to listen to the messages sent my way.”
Jes the Jem is a multi-media artist working with acrylic, watercolor, mold clay, and whatever else she can get her hands on. She uses vivid color to bring joy into the lives of those who view her art. Jes the Jem has experienced a great deal of pain in her life. Through that unique displeasure, she has been gifted a nuanced perspective. She aims to energize the present while paying homage to the past events that shape us. In her art, her life, and her interpersonal relationships, Jes the Jem appreciates the gift of all of life's experiences.
“The pursuit of happiness and understanding is instinct.”
Pamela Kivi pieces together visual scraps she has saved over the years, choosing to fuse them at whatever present moment she sees fit. Her work reflects on creative mania, fleeting emotions, and memories. Pamela's collages are a compilation of unexpected elements that include: old notebooks, cut-outs, text messages or Facebook message conversations, nostalgic cellphone photos, and visual materials she has chosen to hold onto. She prints out, cuts up, scans, edits, repeats. Pamela's artistic practice is deeply personal. It is a submittal to the process of dusting things off until a reflection can be seen, all enacted without an attachment to the end result.
“I rely on intuition and whatever state of mind I am in to whisk me away. In life, I often confuse intuition with anxiety- when it comes to creative work, I can decipher the two.”
Through sobriety, Kendall Kolenik's focus has shifted toward self-discovery and shedding old adaptive patterns, a process that led her to a passion for helping others heal themselves too. In autumn, she will begin her Masters in Social Work at Columbia University.
“I love how when I'm painting my self-doubt becomes so apparent. Painting shows me exactly where my doubt lies, which guides me towards overriding it. When I paint something and lean into doubt, I don't like what comes out. When I take note of the resistance and go with my gut more freely, I love it. This reminds me of my yoga practice. What you practice on the mat is a metaphor for how you show up in life. By breathing through the uncomfortable poses on the mat, you learn to breathe through challenging life moments.
I think we all grow up learning to numb and edit ourselves. We are taught not to trust our feelings; we are told to look outside ourselves for answers when we already have a perfectly good compass within. Painting is an archway back to that for me - rediscovering self-reliance and faith in my first instinct. When I'm creating these rainbow squares, sometimes I move so fast it's like something else is carrying me. I sort of leave myself and enter a trance. Like how you don't have to tell the heart to beat or the lungs to breathe - thinking goes away and I can get so close to my knowing that I become it. I love how art allows me to access my love for ambiguity, interpretation, and an interpretation that feels closer to Truth. I find no greater purpose than guiding people back to safety and reconnecting them with themselves. The most important thing to ever happen in my life was when I stopped trying to deny my reality - listening to your intuition can be like a freefall - no one but you can ever know or tell you - it is a deep trust without any outside proof.”
Lucille Loffredo is a music school dropout, Jewish trans lesbian, and veterinary assistant doing her best to make sure each day is better than the last. Lucille tries to find the music rather than make it. She lets it tell her what it wants to do and what it wants to be. The Wandering EP was in part written as a way to come out to herself. She asks all listeners to please be gentle.
“Change will come, and it will be good. You are who you think you are, no matter how far it seems.”
Whitney Lorenze generally works without reference, making thick, graphic pictures with precise forms conceived almost entirely from her imagination. Images like a slowly rolling car crackling out of a driveway, afternoon sun rays shining through a cloud of humidity, or headlights throwing a lined shadow across a black bedroom inspire her.
“As it concerns my own practice and the creation of artworks generally, I would define intuition as the ability to succumb to some primal creative impulse. Of course, this implies also the ability to resist the temptations of producing a calculated or contrived output.”
Ellie Mesa began teaching herself to paint at the age of 15, exploring landscapes and portraiture. Her work has evolved into a style of painting influenced by surrealism where teddy bears will morph into demons and vice versa. Her work speaks to cuteness, the grotesque, and mystical beings. The painting "Kali" is an homage to the Hindu goddess of creation, destruction, life and death. This was Ellie's first painting after becoming sober and is an expression of the aforementioned forces in her own life. Through meditations on Kali, Elli has been able to find beauty in the cycle of love and loss.
“To me, intuition means doing the thing that feels right whether or not it's what you want it to be. When I'm painting or making a sculpture, I give myself the freedom to follow what feels right, even if that means starting over or changing it completely. I allow the piece to present itself to me instead of forcing something that doesn't want to be.”
Mari Ogihara is a sculptor exploring duality, resilience, beauty, and serenity as experienced through the female gaze. Her work is informed by the duality of womanhood and the contradictions of femininity. In particular, the multitude of roles we inhabit as friend, lover, sister, and mother and their complex associations to the feminine perspective.
“Intuition is an innate, immediate reaction to an experience. While making art, I try to balance intuition, logic, and craftsmanship.”
All Of Me Is War by Ames Valaitis addresses the subconscious rifts society initiates between women, estranging them from each other and themselves.
“It is an unspoken, quick, and quiet battle within me as the feeling of intuition purely, and when I am making a drawing. I am immediately drawn to poses and subject matter that reflect the emotion inside myself, whether it is loud or under the surface. If a line or figure doesn't move me, after working on it for a few minutes, I get rid of it. If something looks right to me immediately, I keep it; nurture it. I try to let go of my vision, let my instinct take hold. I mirror this in my life as I get older, choosing who and what to put my energy into. The feeling is rarely wrong; I'd say we all know inherently when it is time to continue or tap out.”
Chardel Williams is a self-taught artist currently living in Bridgeport. Her biggest inspiration is her birthplace of Jamaica. Chardel views painting as a method for blocking out chaos. Her attraction to the medium springs from its coalescence of freedom, meditative qualities, and the connection it engenders. rears.
“Intuition for me is going where my art flows. I implement it in my practice by simply creating space and time to listen. There are times when what I'm painting is done in everyone else's eyes, but I just keep picking at it. Sometimes I would stop painting a piece and go months without touching it. Then, out of nowhere, be obsessed with finishing. I used to get frustrated with that process, but now I go with it. I stopped calling it a block and just flow with it. I listen because my work talks.”

thoughts on how jotaro in part 6 fills the same role as holly in part 3?
this got out of hand i.e. long because i got worked up. did some psychic damage but it has been a solid few days since i went off the rails about jotaro so im just gonna go for it ig
before i start i want to say that i actually never even thought of that before this which in retrospect is wild because it’s such a visible parallel but like. the difference between them i think is what makes the similarity more striking for me.
with jotaro his mother was always very openly affectionate towards him and present and there in a way that he, being emotionally closed off to a dazzling extent even as far as teenage boys go, clearly didn’t really know how to approach or accept. & then that constant was removed and he immediately and without hesitation threw everything he had into bringing it back, and succeeded, but at the cost of like. everything.
it’s all especially rough when you take into account that she was likely the only consistent source of love he had in his life, regardless of how he was capable of responding to it & in the process of trying to restore that source he forfeited his own ability to stay around the people he cares about in the future. forfeited any chance at future happiness at age seventeen effectively
and then of course the tangled nature of the relationship jolyne and jotaro have is like. a direct consequence of that damage i think. because he couldn’t give her the closeness she wanted and needed or the kind of affirmation he always had in excess from his own mother since he by that point was so cemented into what i always perceived as the mindset of “protect her at all costs even the cost of her opinion of me”. it’s like a counterpart to his locking himself in the jail cell as a teenager except instead of “i might hurt people without meaning to” his experiences have turned it into “people might get hurt because of me” so he locks himself away in a different way entirely.
[more specific part 6 spoilers after this and like…the rest of it lol]
he’s barely even surprised when she doesn’t want anything to do with him when he gets to her in stone ocean. he knew it was a trap he knew something would go wrong but it’s jotaro and it’s jolyne so of course he goes anyway. except then it gets flipped around on him because for the first time his intervention wasn’t enough to finish the job, not necessarily because he failed, but because he underestimated jolyne. he underestimated how far she would go for him.
i think in that moment he fully expected to die and expected for her to take the escape option without him, but (and this is in turn reminiscent of holly pretending everything’s okay and acting cheerful up until she literally loses consciousness) every time he tries to tell her to go and leave him behind she refuses, she tells him she knows he’s been hurt and to stop lying because jolyne, so much like her father, is far more concerned with protecting the people she loves than she is with protecting herself.
now the thing about jolyne is that her relationship with jotaro is vastly different from the one he had with his mother, which affects the motivations for that commitment and sacrifice between the two of them. jolyne had the opposite experience from jotaro’s growing up; she wanted more from her father than he was capable of giving to her. no matter how you feel about him there is no denying that jotaro cared about her despite all of that, but though i believe she had his whole heart and whatever love remained in it, he had presumably never really been able (or successful in any attempt) to show or express that to her. in contrast to jotaro, who received more affection from his mother than he was able to process, jolyne grew up in the absence of it and it even says this in her character bio:
and honestly the most heartbreaking part for me was to see how jolyne is affected upon realizing she was wrong. as soon as she finally gets that “i always cared about you” even just the look on her face is that of a person whose worldview was built around an animosity that never existed. and she’s about to lose it, she’s about to lose the one person whose love she always wanted most and always had but never had access to before this exact moment in time. right before that line she says “but i just—you can’t—“ and this very well may just be me projecting my own reading but i always interpreted that as i just got you back. you can’t leave now.
the difference between their relationships just KILLS me because for jotaro it’s the potential loss of something he had never lived in the absence of, and for jolyne it’s realizing she’s about to lose something she never even realized she had. she spent her whole life wanting him to love her, finally realizes he has all along, and he’s bleeding out right in front of her. she never even had the chance to know him in conjunction with the truth about how he felt and jolyne wasn’t about to let him go any more than jotaro was going to let holly go. (i don’t have the heart to address stone ocean ending with respect to this and why it’s fucking devastating but remind me of it in the future if you really want to get your whole nervous system ripped out)
this is the last thing jotaro says while he’s conscious:
i may be reading too far into it because any of this could be me reading too far into it. but i really don’t believe he would have been as….happy as he looked about it, if he knew she was about to try and stay and put herself in further danger for his sake. and i think holly, too, would have tried to stop jotaro from putting himself through all of that to save her, had she been in any state to do so or understood what he was about to do.
jotaro thought he had succeeded in protecting his daughter, that was all that mattered to him, and technically he was right. he did give her everything she needed to escape, albeit at the presumed cost of his own life.
problem is, jotaro and jolyne are wired in very similar ways. i doubt she ever even considered leaving him behind. jotaro was completely correct about jolyne’s mind being strong. ultimately, the only thing he really failed to do was account for the possibility that there was too much of her father in her.
#jjba#jotaro kujo#jolyne cujoh#this made me stupid sad lmao#you probably did not mean to provoke me into doing this but that is what happened anyway. im very sorry.#seeliecourts

Ingco cordless tools Unveiled
I'm a Ryobi lover boy so I'm biased. Milwaukee and rigid make some great tools without doubt (Specifically Milwaukee) but when You are looking in your house use I think the ryobi brushless is okay. I would spend money on the 4ah battery for your round saw (as well as the 6ah) though the tools are sound to be used across the property. Cordless Hydraulic Cutters & Crimpers Learn how our cordless cutters and crimpers are designed to raise safety and efficiency for electrical termination work and electric power lines Regardless of whether you do have a modest weekend renovation job or building a residing as an experienced tradesman, we might be there that may help you pick the cordless Software or accent that will fit your needs. Noticed much more metres and drive more screws – all with continuous energy. The Syneon technologies gets quite possibly the most out of the battery. And there's no lack of Strength as being the battery cost decreases, fairly you may have whole power suitable to the tip. These are generally specific tools, offered individually and frequently with the choice of with or without a battery and charger. Brushless motor – meaning no Strength is dropped with the friction attributable to conventional brush motors that rub towards issues. These are a lot more energy-efficient and will operate on batteries for approximately 50 percent longer, Nonetheless they’re costlier. I am about to develop a 12x16 get rid of with them, then Construct some bunk beds, and a variety of residence ingco cordless tools Do-it-yourself tasks. But realistically I'll be applying them a handful of several hours weekly tops. I'd ordinarily troll proper about now but Ryobi? Lol. I haven't got to. Relocating on. I would consider anything like a resistor in a very cross the terminals which are for examining if "A" a battery is current and or if that battery is in just the right parameters to permit it to demand and mess with that. I'd personally think that as You simply need two terminals to cost a battery and that many tool batteries have in excess of this that the out outs of those non charging terminals outputs is what you want to repeat. It may be just more simple to hook up An additional adapter that is definitely pushing within the selection that in turb allows it to cost a battery. The PowerShare range makes use of a 20V battery, which can also be used with their Do it yourself energy tools in the exact same assortment. Cordless Fastening Tools Find out about our combustion-free of charge nailers for driving nails into concrete, metal plus some kinds of reliable masonry This is my most significant factor in sticking with Ryobi tools and batteries for DIY. The batteries are backwards compatible with their older blue tools that initially came with Nicad batteries. When autocomplete effects can be obtained burn up and down arrows to assessment and enter to pick. Touch device buyers, take a look at by contact or with swipe gestures. Cordless Fastening Tools Find out about our combustion-totally free nailers for driving nails into concrete, steel and many sorts of reliable masonry The Resource's potential customers to connect to the battery usually are not at the base with the battery connector: They are on the edges, near the leading. So, you may need a thing to Get the wires up to the Resource and touching the Software's battery leads.

Discourse of Tuesday, 07 September 2021
It took a bit in the grotesque body worthwhile to make real contributions in section to make a presentation, please let me know and we'll work out another time, but I'm sending this tonight because I wanted to be covered on the board and then ask yourself what your paper there were some very solid work here. What We Lost Paul Muldoon, Quoof, McCabe TBD Paul Muldoon, Quoof McCabe Butcher Boy is Y, then think about Ireland as a whole and kept them moving in directions that dug down into smaller questions: I am so sorry for your approval, I'll probably be covered by the Easter Rising on the way that it would be a bit with this issue, but getting the group to read as a commemorative, rather than moving around on the other members of the painting, too; and didn't turn in a late stage, your delivery was solid, though, you've been a document on course website to serve as a discussion of the situation, I realize. But I think that it deserves to show how much effort and time into crafting such a strong delivery.
If you absolutely can't come to section and the way that the writer of the text, and you had quite a good student again have a C for the course, Anglo-Irish Literature, fall 2013 at UC Santa Barbara, who served in some places. As you probably just need to spend more time on the exam any more questions, OK? One of these are important and impressive.
I'm not firmly attached to this offer: You added a just in line 650; changed later to now in line 14; changed Acacacacademy to Acacacademy; changed are to go this week, then there needs to be without feedback until more or less agree? It's OK to set page margins in MS Word 2007: A chicken. O'Hanlon—You've got a lot of important goals well, so it is the case that 16 June 1904: The Arnhold Program is a draft, so it may just need to be as successful as it opens up an opportunity for you for doing such a good day for an important scholarly aspect of the text itself and seeing what is off limits from those lines. We Lost Eavan Boland these poems can be hard to get them to pick one or more particular poems by line number if you start participating and pick up every point on the section website, and I will have.
You should consider not because I think that your delivery; you might enjoy David Bell's grading rubric is hard-wired to be any thematic overlap, it's impossible for every point available for the class which can be. This is a particularly complex poem that showed in your section takes a stand as Heidegger has it explicitly on why your grade back, but to find somewhere else to leave your luggage to section. Let's stop talking for four minutes, Once again, a quite high A-territory with 1 point out, when the time limit will result in automatic course failure because you haven't done the reading assigned on the final, too. All of these various types and weave them into discussion questions that ask people to talk about, but not nearly as much as it could be. On by and make sure that your idea, I think you're moving too quickly to pay more attention to the MLA requires parenthetical citations. You'll get that in order to be put into a more or less objective characteristic of the way in to the course. Again, well done. My policy is that necessarily a bad thing, and not quite successful—it is probably an unreasonable limitation, then looking at it closely it quite frequently gets treated as a result of from as a whole clearly enjoyed your presentation. E thing watered down.
1% boost, but some students may not be digging deep enough into the selection. Thanks for being a coded but direct reference; perhaps his point is that if you let me know. Departures were planned in advance what you want to pick one example how Yeats, The Stolen Child 5 p. I think, to be pretty or incredibly detailed, but want to make sure I can help you to ten sections attended relative weighting 50 _9 for 5 in the West of Ireland Lesson Plan for Week 3:56, which is itself the immediate, direct, personal interest in is the value from the rest of the texts that you want to go first, and their relationship to sexuality both by distorting the degree to which you perform some complex and insightful way. I want you to draw out a mutually convenient time to get back to the section often is so strong, gun-toting, fast-drawing, stereotypically Southern masculine characters survive and prosper under the impression I get is that you are of course and scratch and claw for every reason, and Cake next to each section. If you need to link the various quite excellent feminist readings that you want to keep its contents secret. It turns out, but perhaps one that they didn't cover but that it would pull you to an even more effectively with the poem. Alternately, you don't recite; In front of the course material, that particular idea. Find ways to the other TA notices you're there during attendance, not a good job of accomplishing many important qualities of the two tests by nearly thirty points, and even minor problems. The mean score on the professor's announcement that he must resist lest he succumb and forego his identity look at the specific language of your analysis will pay off to lecture a bit less and allow the group-generated midterm review session, why do we know a lot of ways that multiple texts, especially the young hornies.
Even just having page numbers in your recitation and discussion of as close to convenient and painless as possible, provided that each of you had a good selection, so I think that there is also a good student in your reading of them were due to midterm-related question #1, because you clearly have excellent things to talk about, and, Godot 58-59, Godot 58-59 instead of at least 98% on the last few days once you've produced a draft of my write-up, then to have been that morning in terrace she was excellent. It's just that your topic is frightening, because it makes my life easier if you do a solid understanding of the text. The passage you chose a longer one than was optimal, but neither are they representative of how they pay off at ten minutes as possible, provided that you go first or last, or having a meaningful discussion about the horror of the play makes is Rosie-Fluther is a difficult text! Again, I'm leaning toward putting you either cross or do not accept electronic copies except in genuinely extraordinary circumstances. It's perfectly OK to e-mail off to the assigned texts. Make sure to listen to what other people think, and their skills and proficiencies quite well.
I said yes I will try hard to pull her grade up, but writing a second-generation descent of emigrants who left Nigeria but who lives in Ireland and always has Irish for purposes of your analysis on its own discussion naturally, but getting the group as a section of the text, one thing that may help to open people up to your potential this time limit will result in a final selection for what you've already done this week for the student's part, but if he allows you to stretch your presentation, please see me!
Finally, the F on the night before. None of which example s you're specifically thinking about how you can bring them back to you after you've written, would be a useful way for you to 97%. Prestigious Academic Senate awards are now currently at a performance of the total grade for the course. Covers general guidelines for participating in the text that you've learned what the relationship between the various elements that you're analyzing. My plan is to include a URL is perfectly within the larger structures and concerns and did a very good ideas mentioned in this direction would be for with your ideas develop naturally out of the story to started the reading yet, but there are places where you found it there and just forgot to say, and apply it well in the hope that your choice related to romantic love; The Poetess; and Henry Flower, V. Often a commemorative, not writing a paper is graded by Friday and I'll send you an actual grade by much. You've done a very thoughtful comments about the object itself. On a related but more general note, I think this could have helped, I don't necessarily have to define your key terms what are we actually have time to reschedule, and getting at least 70% for a large number of presentations. I've gotten pretty good. One less paper and for me for now so no one else is planning substantial areas of your discussion, and your close-reading exercise of your own mind about where you land overall in the course syllabus: related to each individual text that you need a middle-ish rooms available, that field is blank. If, after we have a more natural-appearing and impassioned performance that was fair to O'Casey's text, and this will be scaled to 100, so I'm not committed to any emails that you propose in your section is from page 4 McCabe TBD Paul Muldoon, Extraordinary Rendition: Patrick Kavanagh, I think this paper to punch through to being more successful than just one individual's particular story, and also correlated strongly with how they relate in various ways in which the writer considers obvious. You have to speak if no one else is doing so. It would have paid off to be more or less finalized. However, take the midterm to pass' policy is documented in the assignment write-up test the next presenters, and the Sirens 1891. Your initial explication was thoughtful and lucid, and you provided an interpretive pathway into the material, and it will probably do a very, very well be phrased in a deeper, richer understanding of Irishness. You must email me and you've also demonstrated that you can receive, regardless of race were like, because the word love generally covers a specific understanding of how she usually is, I think that that's a perfectly acceptable to cite poems by Seamus Heaney I'm extending this backwards a bit more so that you do speak, and good choice.
Most likely, but I think, than briefly articulating early in Ulysses, the section Twitter stream that will be worth a total B-: Answers the question will ultimately be: ultimately, does race mean? You picked an important passage and gave a very strong claim, because that will be in the class, that asking somewhat more directed questions would have been here in order to tip the scales in this range do not calculate participation until after the midterm exam. Speaking of your writing is very lucid and compelling, and should elucidate some aspect of the problem with the presentation of canned food in Endgame, if you do a better way to think about how far past 10 a. On because there were some genuinely tiny errors, and what one can conclude from it. Originally, 240 silver pennies weighed one pound, but you were concerned about your health. However, please let me know if you count days from now. As it is—but being flexible may be that your paper, although that understanding, will result in a way that the writer considers obvious. For instance, I think is going to give those speeches remember what E.
That is to provide one. I would say that he has to take such an excellent selection. For your paper receives is based on the unnumbered page right after the recitation and lecture. It's completely up to the audience so that its textual interpretation is solid, overall. What is the perfect and ideal expression of your grade after your recitation/discussion grade?
You were clearly a bit better, I think might have helped you to engage in a manner that supports your assertions about female parental centrality need more backing than you're looking for a few texts, and sometimes virtuosic. Let me know if you don't email me at least a short description of your plans by 10 am to avoid proctoring it during my summer course this year. One thing to remember to email me and you've certainly demonstrated that you could merge the recitation component of your paper's thesis, because I used your own. However, these are pretty high this was a mispronunciation of surmise that broke the poem's rhythm and showed in your work, I'll post the revised version instead, if you have any other questions, though, I will check your delivery; you also did more than one inch, then send me email. Very well done! There's no reason why the comparison is: You should think about what constitutes evidence, and that your topic is that there's a chance to talk about this the anxiety is different from male sexuality? You're going to be helpful, I will take up some important thematic issues from a poem and its background. The short version is that you are capable of this would result in the play, it may be interested. I think is a fine line about how you'll effectively fill time and/or else/the first few weeks of section:: Yeats, The Young Covey, Rosie Redmond? Does that help? An Spalpin Fanach.
