Public Cervix Announcement, Annie Sprinkle
“Sprinkle’s performance piece, which had received federal funding, entails inviting audience members to view her cervix with a speculum and flashlight in order to “demystify the female body.”
For Annie Sprinkle, non-misogynistic pornography can be a sex-positive vehicle for banning shame and ignorance while promoting pleasure and feminism. She remains committed to spreading the good news of her pro-sex message, as joyously as possible, that sex should be liberating, fun, free of shame and repression, and infused with creativity, love and spirituality.
<3 heroes.
This is one of my all time favorite photographs. It was taken by Mary Ellen Mark, who is such an inspiration to me.

A pair of lovely moto ladies, one with dog, both donning fur. Who are these women?
Wrong season, but still, perfect life.

A documentary about Rumspringa, the time of freedom and exploration allowed to Amish youth at age 16. It’s educational, and a bit sad. Unfortunately it also feels a bit unfinished, and it doesn’t flow naturally. As much as I learned from it, I never felt like it reached into what these sheltered and confused kids are really thinking or feeling. Still, extremely interesting. Amish kids on drugs. Surprising.
Gon’ stay up way too late watching this. (I can sleep when I’m old, right?)
“This morning, I found this reposted on a friend’s page. The gist of it is, women should send in a picture of themselves, explain why they want breast implants, then get their friends to vote for them on the internet, in the hopes of winning $10,000 worth of breast augmentation surgery from this radio station.”
“So, what I would like to do is find a transwoman who is in the midst of transitioning and who would be willing to apply for the contest. We’ll do everything in our power, and the unholy power of social media, to support her. If you or anyone you know, knows someone who might be interested, have them read this over and let me know. Share this note to the far corners of the interwebs. Let’s turn this gross insult to women into a victory for diversity.”
This could be the BEST EVER internet bomb to do something good!
Into it!
Shonen Knife - Perfect Freedom
Ah, good old Shonen Knife! Tidbit from wikipedia:
Shonen Knife, written in Japanese characters as 少年ナイフ, which transliterates as Shōnen Naifu, literally “Boy Knife…”
Stick me with your Boy Knife? :p
Love Shonen Knife. Maybe the only Lucky show I ever went to with my mom as my date.
Today, our new single, “Utopia” is released out into the world. A companion piece to “Dystopia (The Earth is on Fire),” “Utopia” emphasizes a core idea of the YACHT philosophy, which is that any personal success is designed first in the mind.
While dystopia may be the natural consequence of singularly-imposed ideology on a place (see: Jonestown, Waco, countless dissolved 19th century Utopian communities), a Utopia can never fail if it’s never designed to last. As the anarchist theorist Hakim Bey once wrote to us, when we asked his ideas on Utopia:
“Eutopia is not impossible — in fact everything you once imagined is true. But at a cost. One way to lower that cost is to face the fact that utopia will be temporary, and to plan for that. Two years is a very long run. And one night of realization is better than 100 years of dull servitude to the technopathocracy.”
Making my life EVEN MORE PERFECT.

“The future works upon us as we work upon it”!
If you aren’t listening to this awesome album, your life is less perfect than it could be.
“Bret de Jager’s collection entitled Punx on Safari’, explores and combines the ethos of the 70s punk with that of an African tribal warrior. An intriguing and vibrant juxtaposition.”
