What’s Rape’s Brand? | Michele Mitchell | TEDxNavesink


Yes actually one good thing has come out of the accusations of sexual assault against Donald Trump. The 9 women (so  far) who have with courage spoken up of their non-consensual sexual experiences with Trump have role modeled for millions of women ad yes some men (myself included) who have stuffed experiences they have kept secret for many years or just yesterday. Many of us have been positively triggered to now speak out about what happened to us . This expanding collective act of self affirmation can have a very healthy impact on how misogyny and power is exposed operates in the sexual arena. And hopefully impact young people of what "rape culture really is .... i want to thank the women who have spoken up ..and now all can see what happens on an individual basis with women who have spoken up in the workplace etc. DTs response exposes one of the core reasons women and some men remain silent . Now it is out in the open ..let a million stories be spoken aloud.

▶︎ One More Name In Nightlife | Dane Terry leaves town and drops a ditty



Before he jumped  on a  bus to Cleveland to find a little peace and affordable solitude to be creative, DANE TERRY dropped a little ditty to remind us that while he will be away for awhile, he will be back for the BIG NEW SHOW at PS 122 ...  send him some love and BUY the single ... Hey Dane ..Philly is just a hop skip and jump away .. it may be the last stop on the L train

▶︎ One More Name In Nightlife | Dane Terry


Here is a choice sample of the lyric

I've a roommate in my body and he's pacing all night 
hunting for the pieces of my formative might 
my eyes glow like numbers on the front of a train 
my mouth a stinking sheath of a busy blade 
I've a roommate in my body and he's pacing all night 
hunting for the pieces of my formative might 

We love Dane and want him back when he is ready!

This is what is happening to many young artists I know who just can not afford to live here and  be creative at the same time .. RENTS and COST OF LIVING is driving the very people who historically came to NYC to conspire and collaborate away ...  maybe the last stop on the L train is actually Cleavland .. thank god it is a round trip train.

The Age of Loneliness ... beautiful film .. about all of us who live alone ..regardless of age .. a fallout of the triumph of Capital

thoughtmaybeNEWSLETTER — OCTOBER 9, 2016
Anyone identify?
it can happen at any age 
TheAgeOfLoneliness
The Age of Loneliness    2016
The premise of The Age of Loneliness is of how our communities and indeed lives have been completely subsumed by capitalism, leaving us alone in tiny units, solitary. Screen culture and technology is often blamed, but this is more an extension of a larger problem. The Age of Loneliness is exacerbated by this culture making us feel like we have no purpose. How many of us know our neighbours? How many of us even know the land where we live? How has this been destroyed, usurped? What of the nuclear family? With single parents in numbers like never before and families spanning across the globe, all of this poses much larger questions about paternity and the dominant model of relationships. Consumerism and commodification also plays a central role---make note of the screens, computers, TVs and dating websites in the life of the lonely. What's the common thread here? The Age of Loneliness is a film that spans generations, and can function as a call for all of us to reconnect with each other and the places we live for real. To turn away from the spectacle and instead build a better world, with purpose, meaning, friends and real community.
