The Library’s Libations Leech Life Lessons

Ascertaining the purpose of the personal dimensions of space — It was called “The Library”. It was a small upstairs bar with no windows but brightly lit like a friendlier version of a would-be cigar lounge for men if it weren’t for the allover more golden-colored wood-paneling and airy spaces with no obvious nooks for private men-talk. …

The Funeral of Innocence

My idealism railing against a young girl’s upbringing in a foreign country — She said that she didn’t ever want to be pregnant because she concluded that having children must be a nuisance, and there was this particular term that she used to announce this in her native language that further translates into ‘inconvenience’. She said that her mother told her that there…

Descrying the Flaws of My Americanness

Hindsight from 2020 and its forced re-examination of my national identity — The rite of passage for any American-born teen growing up schooled of the abomination of the Holocaust, significantly influenced by the celebrity and cultural trendsetters propagated in music, TV, and cinema of the 80’s and 90’s, besides the eccentricities of family and parental naturalization, was my already assumed privileged struggle…

Where Can Freedom Exist?

An Independence Day 2021 Reflection — Sadly, you and I don’t have real freedom. My political scientist friend would be amused at our expense, as the term ‘freedom’ is an oxymoron. The freedom that most people aspire to have is in fact limited as well as difficult to ultimately perfect as it is inconsistent and bounded…

What Would It Take to Succeed as an Artistic Woman in the 17th Century?

The art of living defiantly in your time — Petals bloom from natural enlightenment; Under earth, spontaneous eggs of dead theories are buried — In vivo visions artifactual in translucent colours, worm to life the seed study of symbiotic illustration — Nature’s surreptitious vases watering feminine springs of understanding… — ElanWriter

Who Was Left?

From #vss365 4 September 2023 — Originally from Twitter here. But the second paragraph felt like it needed some punctuation and a clarification of removing a word. Editing can be overkill after a while, and sometimes it feels better. Sometimes not. I’m not sure anymore, but here it is. My updated microfiction: It wasn’t just the…

Can Femininity Be Fatal for an Artist?

Painter Françoise Gilot wasn’t ‘girlie’ to survive the male competition lest be forgotten as writer Zelda Fitzergerald — The basic reality that there will always be men who are just very domineering types that squelch anyone (man or woman) who threaten their domination in some particular industry, lended inspiration for my micro fiction on Twitter using the word #armour. This was originally published on Twitter. …

A Fool Or Be Fooled?

The avatar and the engraving — Originally posted on Twitter here. Feel free to like it there, too. Was it the wrinkles that made us #kindred? I can’t say for sure. They did laugh & writhe as a jester at me as if foretelling the age I’ll be when no one left ahead or behind me…

Would We Even Notice Even If They’d Flipped on Us?

From #vss365 7 January 2023 — ‘Too late now to save Arctic summer ice, climate scientists find’ This is the kind of news that generally inspires my imagination of how futile it must feel as scientists to give warnings for decades and still it should come to this very alarming and disappointing result. Is it the…
