matt w asked: It’s a LEGO minifigure of a Conquistador. The blurb ends “Fortunately, he’s heard about this newly-discovered place called the Aztec Empire. He figures he’ll stop by there next and see if they’ve got any gold they don’t mind sparing!”

Yeah, nothing funnier than violently destroying a fucking civilization. Hey LEGO, GO FUCK YOURSELFS YOU RACIST FUCKS.

I know I basically reblog everything from this blog, but damn it’s on POINT. Other problems with LEGO? Oh yeah, gender role issues. http://www.feministfrequency.com/2012/01/lego-gender-part-1-lego-friends/

Marclay’s The Clock is a GIANT hit!

Watch the legendary San Francisco Giants announcers Jon Miller and Dave Flemming from KNBR give us their play-by-play analysis of Christian Marclay’s The Clock.

(And psssst—- don’t miss our 24-hour screenings of the film every Saturday until our building closes for expansion on June 2!)

They post about it so much, and I can’t be there. UGH

oupacademic:

“[Pound] was impressed and, boldly crossing out ‘Hilda Doolittle’, he ascribed her poems to ‘H. D.’, the name by which she would thereafter be known in print. Enthusiastically sending the work of H. D. and Aldington off to Poetry magazine in Chicago, Pound would claim the poems as examples of ‘imagism’, the innovative and spare free verse which heralded literary modernism.”

Read the full Oxford Dictionary of National Biography entry on the life of H.D., Hilda Doolittle, made free until June in conjunction with Poetry By Heart.

Bet you haven’t thought about this before: How “slut-shaming” has been written into school dress codes across the country.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately.

Joyelle McSweeney on Her Process

Thu, 16 May 2013 16:30:27 -0500

My process is to collect phrases and yoke them by violence together, forcing them into such extreme pressures that they buckle and release unholy noises. This creates a fabric of sound which conforms to the dismaying contours of contemporary life, and also splits at embarrassing moments to let still more sound and violence rocket through.

Time is of the essence… just one more month to come see Christian Marclay’s The Clock (and one more month before our building closes for expansion, too!)

Dying to see this!
