A secret global trade deal being negotiated right now called the Trans Pacific Partnership would let corporations sue our governments to overturn any law or regulation they say hurts their "expected future profits" or causes “restraint of trade.” Corporations are granted charters to do business by an elected government for no other reason than to provide useful goods and services to the people and gainful employment for their workers. IF a corporation is successful, they will earn funds in excess of their sales in order to reinvest in their business, and they may also pay bonuses to their workers and have profits for their investors as a reward for success, and pay taxes to the government for the PRIVILEGE of doing business. Excessively high profits are effectively a TAX by corporations on the workers and consumers of this world and go beyond fair compensation to investors for the use of their money. Profits are a reward for performance, not an automatic right.
Multinational corporations are loyal to NO country regardless of where their charter to do business is granted from. Informed citizens and responsible governments must carefully monitor all corporations to make sure their continued existence is still useful to society and to insure that each corporation does not cause physical or financial harm to the society that granted its charter. Corporations are not granted charters to become political entities and must not be allowed to have any political rights, privileges, or power whatsoever.
The Trans Pacific Partnership would grant what amounts to political power to transnational corporations who would then be answerable to no one. Since the dawn of civilization, the only commercial entities beyond the reach of law have been pirates, cattle rustlers, and criminal gangs of all sizes. Even though no nation’s constitution allows it to willingly give up political power beyond the bounds of its constitutional authority, the TPP would illegally grant all corporations the right to become pirates, rustlers, and criminal gangs beyond the reach of civil or criminal law. That is why the TPP must be stopped.
Perhaps the worst part of TPP and TAFTA is that it is slated to include Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS). That’s the UNCONSTITUTIONAL mechanism that allows greedy multi-national corporations to challenge critical public interest policies by suing governments in EXTRAJUDICIAL foreign tribunals authorized to order unlimited taxpayer compensation for violations of broad investor “rights.” These commercial tribunals function as courts, but unlike real courts, they are not accountable to the voters or elected representatives. The ISDS penalizes governments when they attempt to do the right thing by blackmailing them to avoid enacting public interest safeguards in the first place for fear of being sued for millions or even billions of dollars.
This EXTORTION mechanism already exists under some so-called “free trade” agreements, including TAFTA’s namesake, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). If included in TPP and TAFTA, the expanded ISDS system would empower more than 71,000 additional corporations to attack domestic policies on both sides of the Atlantic and Pacific.
Some corrupt members of Congress CLAIM to support American sovereignty, but the TPP undermines our laws, regulations, and our Constitutional processes. The Investor-State Dispute Settlement tribunals act like courts but are accountable to no one except the greedy multinational corporations that pay and staff them. If the TPP is such a great "free" trade agreement, why is the text hidden in secrecy from the American public and even most members of Congress? I bet most of these "free" trade zealots are not privy to the secret text. Any deal that undermines U.S. sovereignty by giving multinational corporations the power to challenge our laws in an unaccountable commercial tribunal is unacceptable.
Bad trade agreements create a RACE TO THE BOTTOM which benefits only the multinationals. It lets them export jobs, undermine environmental standards and restrict internet freedom. The corporate lobbyists don’t want the public to have the chance to see what’s in this deal -- and they don’t want Congress to change what they are trying to foist on America.
Addendum: If this corrupt "free" trade agreement goes through, the same gang of pirates and thieves will try the force Europe into approving the TTIP/TAFTA so they can destroy Europe's very good food purity laws, environmental regulations, and labor laws. The EU must stop the corporate fascists in North America and Asia from ruining Europe. That will mean standing firm against the US.

kitchen gadgets essay
081031 {yymmdd}
When we are small, kitchen craft is taken care of by the parents or other house-occupants without our conscious awareness. Food arrives, plates are cleaned, and the idea that any of this takes effort never enters our little heads. When we grow up and set up a home of our own, we unconsciously copy the habits we learned when small, even if this was appropriate decades before, and there is no reason to go on doing things that way.
Then the advertisers move in. They suggest the latest tin-opener, genuinely designed, so they say, to open tins rather than people. They promote orange juice squeezers, and suggest electric waffle-irons for cooking cheese-and-ham paninis. These ideas seem good, particularly when reinforced by our friends and acquaintances who have more experience and money than we seem to possess. The result is that our kitchen gradually fills up with electric gadgets; with exotic devices for cutting and opening, and even large "white goods" representing significant capital investment.
Experience tells us that the usual fate of most of these devices is to be used for a few months and then abandoned. Then, what to do with them becomes the issue. We feel unwilling to chuck them away, and selling them is not very feasible - it seems to the potential purchaser be like using recycled loo-paper. Not a good idea at all. So gradually, little by little, the kitchen fills up with unused and unwanted mathoms.
Even worse, one's well-meaning friends drift through and spot a gap in our kitchen goods market. Gifts of further unwanted equipment arrive. Often these have had a prior life as unwanted utensils in other people's kitchens. And one never wants to throw away the inherited pots, pans, crockery from Victoria's reign, and that marvellous coffee percolator made by Russell Hobbes in 1963 that has always leaked, and makes revolting coffee, but the china jug is Poole Pottery and might one day be a valuable museum piece.
As with most familiar objects, unwanted kitchen detritus works its way into the background of our being, into our expectations of order, and becomes part of the family. On the other hand, the things used regularly, the oven, the hob, the dishwasher, the sludge-gulper, the toaster, the coffee espresso machine, and the microwave oven, never elevate themselves into our consciousness as mere "gadgets". By definition, a "gadget" is a one-day wonder, of little use long term, and just a talking point for visitors.
Sometimes one's gadget provokes such a reaction in a visitor that it is re-elevated to a condition of service. One spends a happy half hour showing off what it will do; what visitor is not going to be impressed by a freshly-baked loaf of bread in the Breville breadmaker? But this enthusiasm seldom lasts.....
Generally, kitchen gadgets are not very useful. What would be useful is to resurrect one's parent(s).
For the St. Louis Gender Foundation’s (StLGF) monthly dinner gathering in July of 2023, Ms. Essay chose to wear her black Calvin Klein sequined dress with its plunging V-neckline. Also worn with this dress were sheer black thigh-high stockings by Cecelia de Rafael and black pointed-toe high heels.
Taking a few more steps down the stairway of her townhome, with the aid of a selfie-stick Ms. Essay captured this view of the black sequined dress she wore to the StLGF’s July dinner.
This edit of a track by "Johnny Hammond Smith' is a natural merger of 60s and early 1970s jazz, with a soul that was getting into a funk on an exploration into ideas of 'groove'.
A 'spot the difference' between French and English Wiki explanations of the word 'Funk' is worthy of an essay in cultural studies and semantics:
"Selon certaines interprétations, le terme funk proviendrait de l'argot anglo-américain funky, qui signifie littéralement « puant », « qui sent la sueur », insulte traditionnellement adressée aux noirs par les WASP et reprise ensuite à leur compte par les artistes noirs tel que Horace Silver dans son morceau Opus de Funk (1953)." Wiki Fr 7.06.20
In contrast with:
"It is originally derived from Latin "fumigare" (which means "to smoke") via Old French "fungiere" and, in this sense, it was first documented in English in 1620. In 1784 "funky" meaning "musty" was first documented, which, in turn, led to a sense of "earthy" that was taken up around 1900 in early jazz slang for something "deeply or strongly felt".[6][7] Ethnomusicologist Portia Maultsby states that the expression "funk" comes from the Central African word "lu-funki" and art historian Robert Farris Thompson says the word comes from the Kikongo term "lu-fuki"; in both proposed origins, the term refers to body odor.[8] Thompson's proposed Kikongo origin word, "lu-fuki" is used by African musicians to praise people "for the integrity of their art" and for having "worked out" to reach their goals.[9] Even though in white culture, the term "funk" can have negative connotations of odor or being in a bad mood ("in a funk"), in African communities, the term "funk", while still linked to body odor, had the positive sense that a musician's hard-working, honest effort led to sweat, and from their "physical exertion" came an "exquisite" and "superlative" performance.
Wiki English. 7.06.20
From the late 60s to the early 70s, musicians from diverse backgrounds were becoming interesting in the word 'groove': both locking down and liberating the bass, rhythm guitar and drum, and ornamenting with 'hooks' rather than complected architectural changes to the armature of melody. 'Groove' was to dance to, and the dance of jazz bop clubs was blending with the dance of late soul music, as musicians such as drummer Bernard Purdie and organist Johnny Hammond took the two rivers to the bridge.
Whilst, with time, early funky 'orchestrations' would flood television, b-movie cinema and even feed into a style of music that would become known as Disco, the authenticity of this window-in-time keeps some of the music well away from watered down transformations, and as an island of creativity that would later be valued by the movement known as 'Acid Jazz'.
Johnny Hammond worked with the avant guard hardbop and soul-jazz 'Kudu records', and did what Jazz had always done - he took standards and reworked them into versions that were his own (here working with an arranger for the strings). The real difference with this moment in time was to start taking 'standards' from freshly written 'modern pop music'. The track 'Rock Steady' had been written and released by Aretha Franklin in 1971, only a year before Johnny Hammond's revision - so sounds were still 'hot', and, in a way, Hammond's team were already investigating ideas of 'remix'. Many decades later, remix artists from Andy Weatheral to Ludovic Navarre would turn an original song onto it's head to the point where the original is barely visible, and to an extent Jazzman Hammond did just that to Franklin's funkest song.
Aretha's live for the single release of 'Rock steady'
1971 live: www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2VDEl18rgQ
Aretha's live of 'Rock steady' by the LP release of 1972 - the track is now much slower and into the groove: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KB5sMYw37gw
For Johnny Hammond's version, the beats were further slowed and everything was redirected to a trajectory from another melodic orbit. In short the song was no longer the same song and the cover version was virtually ... an original: almost certainly too different to provoke an injunction for intellectual property theft. This sort of appropriation and inspiration is normal for Jazz, but in the greater world of 'pop' it might be seen as the unnecessarily giving away of writing credits. Obviously 'Jazz integrity' was mixing with the pop mass market, and at the time everyone must have been happy with the shared publicity: drummer Bernard Purdie had worked on both versions, and they even released this Jazz version in time for Franklin's LP - 'Young gifted and black' in 1972. But still, a song credit of perhaps "Hammond, Purdie, Washington, Gale and Franklin" may not seem out of place to common sense.
One strata of the song's groove is presented by the guitar of Eric Gale (Melvin Sparks's guitar is also credited on the song, but I think the solo is Gales). Eric Gale's can be heard to be forming his style for his "Rock Steady" solo in this earlier Freddie Hubbard track from 1969: "A soul experiment" (from around 3 minutes 14).
www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8MR8B-X0A8&list=OLAK5uy_naNO...
By the time his solo had been recorded for Johnny Hammond, it sounded just like a ... Pink Floyd solo. Simplified - perhaps - but around the same speed and a similar interplay of lead with organ and rhythm guitar as a song with a different title and later release date. If you known Pink Floyd then perhaps have a listen to this Flickr post from around 1 minute 10.
There have always been remarks about similarities between Graham Nash's track "There's only one" and a famous Pink Floyd LP ending, and then there is this from around 3 minutes...
www.flickr.com/photos/ajmitchell-prehistory/49661297158/i...
With each of these mentioned tracks appearing prior to, or aside 'The Wall', 'Dark Side of the Moon' and 'Animals' respectively. Now the similarities are poetic, and the unique contribution of Pink Floyd's Richard Wright to music as a subject is never mentioned enough... but still - a nod of respect and even percentage royalty to poor musicians of rich spirit may make common sense.
At this point the narrative seems finished - loose enough to fit, and open-ended enough to allow for a little tailoring; the only thing is that the subject of musical originality vs musical cover is not quite over as the drummer for both projects was involved in a credit polemic about... The Beatles. 'He was in a funk and was the real drummer for many Beatles songs!' The subject of Bernard Purdie and the Beatles is perfectly covered here:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=hz9EGGiOuso
It is perhaps worth remembering what 'groove' could be like before Bernard Purdi added his shufflin' funk to the kit. Johnny Hammond Smith shares some of his name with a fellow Jazz organist Jimmy Smith. Here is Jimmy Smith's 'Sermon' from 1958 - a twenty minute groove with a short final climax.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3X5J_wGHrw
It's a great track, but the drums a not doing much. Now listen again to Purdie on 'Rock Steady' - he has an Afrobeat lightness - almost akin to Alan Wren from recent years. Purdie was important to music and from the above mentioned Youtube documentary, it seems he worked with Atlantic records to open out the drumming for an unofficial remix of a pre 'Love me do' Beatles session with Tony Sheridan. As a man within both versions of 'Rock Steady', Purdie was perfectly placed to put a word in for Gale and co regarding Pink Floyd royalties, and one can question why he directed his energies exaggerating some unofficial and very early Beatles overdubs when he was part of Johnny Hammond's apparently highly "influential" 'Rock Steady' recording?! A rather smug Red Bull fuelled interview seems to have helped Purdie make crass generalised statements about 'Ringo not being the real drummer of The Beatles' - an exaggeration of meaning perhaps a little like the French Wiki for 'Funk' and its inability to appreciate the roots and diversity of earthy smells.
Johnny Hammond Smith was mentioned in another "music through the lens test" as having played with Clement Wells (see below) :
www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAKn1g4kpjU
This "Music: through the lens test' features an edited version of Rock Steady. The full version is here:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5X0QI8k1jE
It's a detail, but the engineer for the track was the great Rudy Van Gelder and it was arranged and conducted by the very Bob James.

I wrote 12 essays last night. It attacked me and held me captive. But, once I overcame my procrastination, I defeated those 12 essays! But, I know that they'll return for Finals Week..
FFFFUUUUUUUU-
[077/365] Used to laugh and call him names..
Parkland, Florida shooting survivor and high school senior Emma Gonzalez said in a public speech a few days after the massacre, "If the President wants to ... tell me to my face that it was a terrible tragedy ... I'm going to happily ask him how much money he received from the National Rifle Association. Thirty million dollars. And divided by the number of gunshot victims in the United States in the one and one-half months in 2018 alone, that comes out to being $5,800. Is that how much these people are worth to you, Trump?"
Furthermore, an angry Ms Gonzalez stated, "The people in the government who are voted into power are lying to us ... And us kids seem to be the only ones who notice and are prepared to call B.S." She knows what is going on and is not afraid to tell it like it is and put CORRUPT politicians on the spot.
p(Resident) Trump tweeted that the FBI failed to detect the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooter in Parkland, FL because they "are spending too much time trying to prove Russian collusion with the Trump campaign." What a crook of shit to cover his own sorry ass! The State of New York is investigating Trump’s money laundering connection with Russian organized crime syndicates, and the FBI is on the verge of proving Trump and his closest political operatives colluded with Russian intelligence agents in undermining the 2016 election. And school shootings appear to be Business As Usual because the gun lobby and the politicians they buy allow it to be so, week after week, year after year.
For reasons I can’t quite put my finger on, the Florida school murders two weeks ago anger me more than all the others. I have no particular connection with the place or the people who live there, but ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. Columbine or Sandy Hook should have been enough, but maybe the angry words of Emma Gonzalez will build a fire that will get things moving in the right direction and burn down the entire reich wing legacy of the last 40 years.
Please read this petition and please sign: action.momsrising.org/sign/RejectNRApledge/?t=4&akid=... Moms Rising.org is one of the feminist groups I support. I am hoping that the anger from this latest school shooting and other bullshit perpetrated by the "conservatives" will grow in momentum and wreck their entire evil agenda, but progressives must be ready and willing to clearly state our objectives and work to achieve them.
I did not draw this political cartoon, but since I will not profit from it, my posting here constitutes FAIR USE. Addendum: I just learned that Pia Guerra is the artist.

People participate in these rides for a lot of different reasons. Two themes that are discussed quite a bit are protesting against fossil fuel dependency and body positive ideas.
Body positive is kind of a nebulous sounding concept. I think it relates to accepting one's body as it is, rather than feeling negative because one's body doesn't conform to some societal image of beauty. Body positive can mean inclusiveness for a wide range of ages and body types.
One might wonder, tho, if these rides really do promote positive body image. Many of the participants do have the stereotypical young and fit bodies. At the same time, there is a bit of shaming that goes on as a few people use the word pervert to describe some of the camera wielding folks in the audience.
Mainstream society is quite competitive. Seems like this is especially true when one takes the dating market and dating apps into account. In some cases, a camera image could be the only glimpse of beauty one holds.
The ride itself tends to be non competitive and strives to include a wide range of folks. It's one thing that makes the ride, "like a breath of fresh air" compared to the more "winner take all" mainstream of society.
Some folks might try to downplay erotic issues in the discussion of body positive thought. To me, it seems like those issues are close to the center of the discussion. There's the problem of competition, such as in dating markets, with it's effect on body image and body acceptance.
One thing that is nice about these rides is when the wide variety of folks can celebrate the fun together.
The concept of being body positive is often associated with nudity, but I would guess there is more to it than that. To me, it also has a lot to do with people being less hidden and less divided from one another. Public nudity is one thing that is symbolic of that. Being less hidden and more connected is a larger concept than just clothing, or lack thereof. It also can relate to not being judged, or categorized by things like clothing. It can mean society being less divided by status, money, age and so forth. Being out and visible, like on a bicycle rather than cloistered in one's home or automobile.
This can create incentives for more folks to ride bicycles; thus also having a positive effect on the carbon footprint.
My own opinion at least.
Here's an interesting article that was brought to my attention recently. About cruising in the age of consent. Me Too may apply differently in gay male settings than heterosexual settings where there tends to be more of a power imbalance.
I link to article from my blog, where I have a slight summery of one part that stood out to me.

As people talk about inflation, it's amazing to me how much prices, like renting a room, have gone up compared to general consumer goods.
Consumer goods are still a bargain so people selling them often can't afford a place to live or certain things like health insurance. An economic imbalance that drives much of the problems of our times.
Case in point, Dollar Stores in news as one chain is rising price to $1.25. Meanwhile, Motel 6 has raised it's prices a lot more since it's $6 founding. More like 10 fold.
My take on some causes of inflation.
I think a lot of things are causing this current uptick of inflation.
One of many factors is that more money has been created, by the Federal Reserve, to prop up government spending during the coronavirus relief efforts. The spending has gone up while tax revenue was going down. I think the spending was needed, but "more money chasing the same amount of goods and services" can lead to inflation.
We are now facing attempts to increase the wages of workers who work in jobs related to services, retailing, food handling and so forth. This also is a needed "social justice" thing, but it can lead to increased cost of doing business passed along to consumers.
Certain costs, like housing which is related to inflating home values, have been going up for decades so now it's time for other parts of the economy, including worker's wages, to catch up. Problem is, housing costs continue to go up as well. It's like; "for every step forward that a worker takes, they slide back a step."
Gasoline has been more expensive before. Under Bush II, during a strong economy before the 2008 crash, it was higher, I think. Gasoline is related to supply and demand. I recently saw an article that said oil companies are reluctant to invest in bringing more supply (oil wells) into production. Reluctant to replace old wells that have gone dry as investment capital is leery of the future for investing in fossil fuels. This could put a crimp on supply. Institutions, like universities, are divesting from fossil fuel investments. This can mean less supply.
We do need to transition to less dependency on fossil fuels. This transition doesn't always come easy. More use of public transit and walking can be less expensive than car ownership; especially till we get electric cars and green power.
Today’s Supreme Court has lost all credibility. The five reactionary judges don’t seem to understand what a real person is. A corporation is NOT a person with political and religious rights. Corporations are BUSINESS entities chartered by the state to produce goods and services, but they are not people. I support the RIGHT of all women to birth control, and it should be a normal health expense covered by ALL standard health insurance policies and not subject to their employer’s approval. Religious fanatics that control corporations like Hobby Lobby have no right to impose their superstitions on their employees. Freedom of religion is supposed to safeguard an INDIVIDUAL person’s right to worship; however, no person may impose their religion on anyone else.
For my friends that live outside the United States, let me explain a few things. Hobby Lobby is a big retail corporation that has hundreds of large superstores that sell craft items mainly to women. The corporation is not publicly traded on a stock exchange because it is owned by a rich family that happens to be religious “conservatives” that are against providing birth control or abortion services to women as part of the now required health insurance mandate. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Hobby Lobby. The five MEN who issued the majority verdict stated that the CORPORATION is entitled to follow its religious beliefs. Really? What does an inanimate business entity believe in, and will those beliefs save its godless soul? Of the four Justices who voted against the unwise decision, three are women.
By the way, did you know that much of Hobby Lobby’s merchandise comes from China, a country that forces women to have unwanted abortions? Most Chinese couples are allowed to have only one child. All other pregnancies are aborted on state orders.
As important as women’s reproductive rights are, there is an issue even more dangerous. The Right Wing Nut Jobs think this case helps religious freedom. Bullshit! Religious freedom is only possible when Big Business and Big Government keep their damn noses completely out of religious matters. The Hobby Lobby case is a business affair poorly handled. By muddying the waters, the US Supreme Court opened the door to all kinds of religious-based strife. Our Founding Fathers (from the Age of Enlightenment) were well aware of Europe’s bloody history of religious wars, pogroms, witch hunts, and Inquisitions, and they wrote our Constitution and early laws to prevent such nonsense from happening here. Do we want our country to turn into another Bosnia, Northern Ireland, Iraq, West Bank, or Sudan?
How would conservatives respond if a company with Islamic beliefs decided to impose its religious values on white, Christian, American employees? Sorry, but when you pee in the pool, you can't take it out.... “Conservatism” is no longer a centrist force interested in stability or "tradition." Its members are reactionaries who want to fundamentally destroy and transform the standing bargains and norms which have guided American society and politics for many years. The American Social Contract is in serious trouble. We not only need separation of Church and State; we need separation of Church and State and Corporation. Corporate money and power is corrupting both the Church and the State and using both to increase its own unaccountable power and excessive wealth to the detriment of the public interest.

In this case I have my spread of books and sources on the floor. In the past I have also had a number laid out open on my bed. When I'm done writing at whatever ungodly hour, I normally just crawl into bed and sleep alongside the books.
When I saw ret. Air Force Col. Thomas D. Akers and Bruce E. Melnick were appearing at Space Rendezvous 2015, which included a signing, I picked this page for the two to autograph, as it has an essay about the STS-49 mission which they both were on.
Akers selected this page; Melnick signed the facing page (see), which also talks about this flight. Akers unasked added his position on that flight, MS-5 (MIssion Specialist-5.)
Akers was selected for the astronaut program in 1987. A veteran of four space flights (STS-41 in 1990, STS-49 in 1992, STS-61 in 1993 and STS-79 in 1996), Akers has accumulated more than 800 hours of space flight including over 29 hours of spacewalking experience.
On STS-41/Discovery, October 6 to October 10, 1990, Akers was responsible for the mission’s primary payload, the Ulysses spacecraft.
The STS-41 crew successfully deployed the interplanetary probe and started it on its four-year journey via Jupiter to investigate the polar regions of the Sun.
STS-49, May 7 to May 16, 1992, was the maiden flight of the space shuttle Endeavour. The STS-49 crew successfully completed four EVAs (spacewalks), three rendezvous and a variety of secondary objectives. Akers was one of a three-member EVA team who successfully captured and repaired the stranded INTELSAT (International Telecommunications Satellite).
This was the first and only three-person EVA and the longest EVA (8.5 hours) in history at the time. Akers also performed a second EVA on this flight to evaluate space station Freedom construction techniques.
On STS-61/Endeavour, December 2 to December 13, 1993, Akers again served as an EVA crew member.
During the 11-day mission, the crew captured the Hubble Space Telescope and restored it to full capacity through a record five spacewalks by four astronauts. Akers performed two of these bringing his total EVA time to 29 hours and 40 minutes.
STS-79/Atlantis, September 16 to September 26, 1996, was the fourth shuttle mission to rendezvous with the Russian space station Mir.
Akers was the flight engineer and responsible for the transfer of more than 3.5 tons of supplies to and from Mir.
This mission also marked the first exchange of U.S. astronauts on Mir, leaving John Blaha and returning Shannon Lucid home after her record six-month stay in space.
Akers left the astronaut program and NASA in August of 1997 to return to the U.S. Air Force as the commander of the U.S. Air Force ROTC Detachment 442 at the University of Missouri-Rolla. 7 Nov. 2015, Titusville, Fla.

Later I created my own Zoom Conference of one person to take this photo. I had lights flickering in that old bike wheel; a memento that's rolled across USA.
I'm holding a camera here, but during the dance, I was just dancing. For the dance, the screen was divided up into 18 squares each with a different home dance in it. Some dancers were outside. Others in the living room and so forth. I think there were 2 screens full of 18, or so, dancers.
A good innovation, but not quite like being immersed in the experience. It's more limited on the screen. Maybe someday, full immersion technology.
My studio apartment felt limiting as well. The thought of putting my webcam into the long hallway, outside my apartment came to mind. Dance, or run, up and down the hallway. Maybe I could invite my neighbors, but would that be proper social distancing?
We need to innovate until get a vaccine, or some other kind of cure, besides bleach (don't laugh, it can be used outside the body, like disinfecting the shower). Dancing may come back, but with a lot of spacing between people. I'm okay with that, I'm very visual and not that touch oriented anyway. I'm also far sighted so I can see people fine; from 20 feet or more.
In spite of cities cancelling their park dances and things like the Pride Festival most likely cancelled, outdoor dancing could be a way to maintain spacing. Just learn new ways to dance. Moving feels good and there is still the visual appeal.
Indoor dancing can work also. Crowded bar spaces might have to wait till a better cure, but smaller groups of folks who remain well spaced can work.
I have enjoyed the excitement of a crowded dance floor, but that may have to remain on hold; for a while. There are a few times when I felt like I was in people's way; when dance floors got really crowded with couples and groups (some folks would say cliques). Most dancers have been friendly tho, either ignoring me or interacting. I sometimes have gone with a friend and we did get quite a few hi fives. I miss those experiences. Maybe a way can be found to bring that back.
Dancing with greater spacing does take some getting used to. There's the economics of it as well. Smaller crowds means less money for establishments to pay the rent. The economy has to adjust also.
Hopefully innovation can help us and maybe a vaccine wouldn't be too far off.

This is part of a series of images that will be used for my final year dissertation. The subject is conceptual art and photography which includes a written essay as well as a visual final piece.
The images help to portray the types of feelings of anger, confusion and frustration etc. that the subject of conceptual art arouses amongst not only myself, but many others. The essay itself features as part of my photographs, like the essay is the piece of art and use photography to document the idea, just like the conceptualists.
In this image the essay (the conceptual piece of art) is being scraped from a wall.
Materials: Plywood with 'brick like' paper wallpapered to it. Then stuck my essay on the wall...
Equipment: Digital. Camera set on timer.
I got a chance to photograph Essay, the well known Swedish/African rapper, in Stockholm some weeks ago. Listen one of his songs. New album coming out soon.

JK had to write an essay. He needed help. I chunked the data for him, and we used part of the wall of one of the dormitories as our white-board. First we used Post-It® Notes to build a mind web or a mind-map of the issues surrounding the early hominids. Then, we re-arranged those Notes into columns and rows.
The first row is his introductory/thesis paragraph. Each line thereafter is a paragraph. Each Post-It® Note winds up being a sentence, or at least a clause in a sentence. The Notes can then be gathered into a 'function stack'. In a function stack, each Note with a paragraph-level info-chunk is marked with a star, and then the Notes are stacked, top to bottom and left to right. Once this process is completed, it's exactly like holding an outline, where you eventually hope to turn a set of semi-random notes into a coherent essay.
This remarkable intaglio essay is in several colors including silver. It is an essay advertising the Thomas De La Rue company of security printers. This is a fantasy lathe production with what looks like a lithographic background. The detail is extraordinary.
