Experiments In A Jazz Aesthetic

It’s been a while since i posted much, so here are some snapshots of what’s been going on lately -

Read this article about changes the Texas State Board of Education made this spring.

Since my special effects/CGI budget is…ummmm… $0 — I appreciate seeing how other moviemakers tell surreal tales with pictures. And yay! that a woman finally won a best film oscar.

Dr. Omi Osun Joni L. Jones gives 6 rules for allies (cross race/gender/sexuality/nationality/religion etc) in her keynote speech given 2/19/10 at a luncheon sponsored by Abriendo Brecha Vll Conference and The Seventeenth Annual Emerging Scholarship In Women’s and Gender Studies Conference UT Austin.

This must have been this time of year because I watched the snow melt, then the tulips come up from my window.

This matters a lot to me.
This situation is about power — capitalism, racism, classism and community organizing.
