Maya Deren (1917-1961)
Women's Guerilla History Project
Born Eleanora Derenkowsky, in Kiev, Maya's Jewish parents moved to New York when she was five to avoid persecution. She was a journalist, an activist, a poet, a dancer, and a filmmaker who was famous for the film, Meshes in the Afternoon (1943). Maya fucked shit up with experimental films in the 1940-50s. She used surrealist imagery in a complicated way. While her male counterparts used grotesque manipulations of the objectified female body, she filmed her own body, frozen in black and white with knives on her pillow, to create a surrealist interpretation of dreams that was personal and feminist. Though publicly trivialized as an artist for her eccentric dress, love of attention, and unconventional lifestyle, she has been reexamined by feminists and experimental film makers in recent years.
Introduced cool-season annual
erect, tufted grass to 60 cm tall. Flowerheads are open panicles. Spikelets are drooping on thin nodding stems, large (10-20 mm long), 7-19 flowered and unawned. Lemmas are inflated and as broad as long. Germinates from autumn to spring and flowers in late winter and spring. A native of the Mediterranean, it is a minor weed along roadsides and in disturbed areas where there is poor ground cover. An indicator of poor ground cover. Of little agricultural importance as it produces little leaf before going to head and is uncompetitive in coastal pastures. Easily managed with dense pastures and by removing flowerheads at early flowering for 1-2 years.

When you see this: SFPD
You'd better watch your back
Over 50% if all anti-transgender hate crimes committed in San Francisco are perpetuated by Law Enforcement...Fight Back! ...with a list of abuses ranging from illegal strip searches on the corners to random beatings, sexual assault, and murder. One has to wonder who is being protected and served. Don't let them get away with this. Watch arrests. Be a witness. Be an advocate. Walk in pairs. Get loud.

Erith to Bexley: The Dartford Creek Barrier resembles a giant concrete guillotine, bridging the River Darent just before it meets the Thames. The barrier supports two 160-tonne gates which can be dropped to hold back the rising tide. In 2019 it was used about 12 times, whenever water levels threatened to overwhelm the river embankments.
I was able to work on my 17x14 Zen over the weekend and this is where it is at today.
