The Paradox Of Tolerance Is Only A Paradox If You Think Of Tolerance As Some Sacred And Unconditional

“The world has no visible order, and I have only the order of my breathing. I let myself happen.”

— Clarice Lispector, Água Viva

"Clark writes that Fight Club 'suggests homosexual themes and relationships even though the narrative does not openly admit them' (417). Clark's assessment is a strong beginning to the recognition of the homoeroticism of Fight Club.

The film's queer element- and the queerness of other artifacts of popular culture- however, remains to be explored. Much is to be gained from analyses of popular culture that emphasize queer elements. A queer analysis can help deconstruct, however temporarily, traditional gender constructs and over time alter what it means to say that you are a man or to say that you are a woman.

Queer lives and queer studies have much to offer the mainstream, heterosexual majority when it comes to challenging predetermined gender identities."

some of my favorite woven tapestries, by Cecilia Blomberg:

Point Defiance Steps

Mates

Rising Tides

Vashon Steps

You’re warm in my hands

Flickering blithe laughs

Fills my lungs

I am full

For a second I breathe in that warmth

I am whole

I hold you in the rain

Feel how you combat the cold

The loneliness

The emptiness that hollows into my chest

When life is pulled away from me

The moment you leave my lips

I breathe you in like you’re air

Something I’d desperately suck up

Suffocate in

february confession

sin: lust once lost its luster, but I'm folding fingers down to you

maybe may will save you, and maybe it did
