Bob Dylan Masters of War

Masters Of War

 

Come you masters of war

You that build all the guns

You that build the death planes

You that build the big bombs

You that hide behind walls

You that hide behind desks

I just want you to know

I can see through your masks

 

You that never done nothin'

But build to destroy

You play with my world

Like it's your little toy

You put a gun in my hand

And you hide from my eyes

And you turn and run farther

When the fast bullets fly

 

Like Judas of old

You lie and deceive

A world war can be won

You want me to believe

But I see through your eyes

And I see through your brain

Like I see through the water

That runs down my drain

 

You fasten the triggers

For the others to fire

Then you set back and watch

When the death count gets higher

You hide in your mansion

As young people's blood

Flows out of their bodies

And is buried in the mud

 

You've thrown the worst fear

That can ever be hurled

Fear to bring children

Into the world

For threatening my baby

Unborn and unnamed

You ain't worth the blood

That runs in your veins

 

How much do I know

To talk out of turn

You might say that I'm young

You might say I'm unlearned

But there's one thing I know

Though I'm younger than you

Even Jesus would never

Forgive what you do

 

Let me ask you one question

Is your money that good

Will it buy you forgiveness

Do you think that it could

I think you will find

When your death takes its toll

All the money you made

Will never buy back your soul

 

And I hope that you die

And your death'll come soon

I will follow your casket

In the pale afternoon

And I'll watch while you're lowered

Down to your deathbed

And I'll stand o'er your grave

'Til I'm sure that you're dead

Two cocks

One human

The other in the shape of a clock

For the price of none

One standing erect

Tumescent

On the carter road promenade

Under the setting sun

He other tired flaccid

After a jog and a run

The day for one, already over

The other the day has just begun

So much, so much unfinished tasks

Undone

Battles yet to be fought

Yet to be won

Vaginal vagaries

Home spun

Yes the chicks have come home to roost

Calories dying to orgiastically burn

Tears crying in an urn

As they are wantonly spurned

A thought unturned

Oh what a waste my pictures and my poetry

Categorized as a system of learning unlearned

From the kingdom my Blog Goddess ..

I have like a lost letter unread

postage not paid , male returned

NZ Trials training ran their first small group training day in July 2019 at Western Valley near Little River. The property is known for being slippery in the gullies, and the rain over the previous couple of days ensured it was the perfect venue to learn new skills. The days comprised one group in the morning which is when these photos were taken, then my turn in the afternoon. We started on a slippery hill which was difficult to walk up and were shown how to ride up and how to keep moving to prevent a five. Over the course of riding a number of sections we were given guidance on braking, clutch control, body position, and gear selection. The drizzly weather wasn’t noticeable under the trees and the day gave me some advice on riding the slippery conditions I have always struggled with. Thanks to Jules assisted by David and Derek. All I have to do now is unlearn some of my bad riding habits.

Jules ran a second training day at McQueens Valley the next day, and has a number of other training days planned. At present these are Kaikoura on 10/11 August and in the North Island at Lake Kimihia near Huntly on 25 August.

Enjoy the photos.

I must say that I'm impressed with Affinity Photo for retouching. It is clear the developers have really thought about what it is needed for efficient retouching post-processing workflow. The tools are "just right". While it took me a while to learn this new tool (or should I say unlearn 25+ years of Photoshop) I will likely use it as my go-to retouching tool going forward. The next version will add batch processing and macros and that might just seal the deal for me.

17.3.13 From the Paradigm of `Modesty' and `Protection' to Freedom,.

Autonomy and Consent : Respect Women's Autonomy! Respect Her.

Seen the latest Tata Sky ad?.

Right Over Her Own Body and Mind, and Her Right to Say NO!.

.

A young man builds up towards asking his male friend if he can take the latter's sister out to dinner. There is a tense silence as.

the sister (sitting demure and silent with downcast eyes) and the young man wait for the brother's rage to explode. Then the.

.

brother says gruffly, "Yes, but bring her back before 10 pm." The `humour' in the ad draws from the possibility of the brother's.

.

violent rage. What is it that makes us, as a society, consider such situations perfectly `normal'? Why is it part of our.

.

everyday lives that women have to be constantly `protected' by guardians, they have to ask permission to go out for dinner.

with friends, to choose partners, to choose careers..

.

A spurned lover makes a video film of his girlfriend, on the sly in the act of love, in order to avenge her refusal. Morality of the girl.

in the footage became coffee table conversation in Jawaharlal Nehru University even as some of us were taking vicarious.

pleasure in watching the tape in private. This, despite the fact that the guy who shot it, was in the same footage. W omen are the.

objects of desire, at the same time, `morality and chastity'. W omen on campus have often been asked to sign in when they enter.

the boys hostels, fined for staying back over-night, chastised by the security guards over their `modestly' while sitting in public..

.

Women are constantly told that for the sake of their `protection', they cannot venture out in the evenings, they cannot dress the way.

they like, they have to keep seeking `permission' for anything they do even when they are adults perfectly capable of making.

choices for themselves. For millions of women, every single important choice in life is mediated and controlled in the name of.

`protecting' their `safety and honour'..

.

What exactly is this `raksha'? Is this `raksha' - this protection by families, brothers, fathers, mothers and cousins - just a show.

of love and care? The Tata Sky ad reminds us that `raksha' is more than a bond of affection. Let us recall how the young journalist.

Nirupama Pathak was brutally killed by her family (ostensibly with the help of her mother, father and uncle) because she dared to.

choose a partner. In the past few months there have been any number of instances from different states of brothers chopping off.

the heads of their sisters (because the latter had a sexual relationship of which the brother disapproved). The Tata Sky ad doesn't.

seem that funny anymore when you recall how two brothers killed Nitish Katara for daring to love their sister. This `raksha' is.

clearly not a protection of freedom, choice and autonomy..

.

Think of the Government's move to raise the age of consent from 16 to 18, in the context of families, vahinis and khaap.

panchayats. If the age of consent were to be 18, and consensual relationships of young people between 16-18 to be automatically.

criminalised and branded as rape/sexual violence. With third parties allowed to file statutory rape complaints, every possessive.

family, khaap panchayat or `moral police' brigade will use the law to get the girl's male classmate/friend/boyfriend arrested for.

rape and sexual assault! The more so if the boyfriend in question is from a dalit/oppressed caste background while the girl is not..

.

What kind of `sensitisation' does GSCASH (and other institutions outside JNU) need to do?.

.

In the name of `gender sensitisation', Gillette runs an ad asking men to be `soldiers' to protect women. It's another matter that.

actual `soldiers' often sexually assault women, and men who believe they have to `protect' women end up policing her own.

freedom, like the protective brother in the ad! In fact protection is nothing but deployment of patriarchal control over women..

Women's freedom lies in freedom from control of bearing the patriarchal burdens of `modesty', `purity' and `honour'. Sensitisation.

isn't about teaching some abstract concepts of gender justice. Sensitisation is actually a project of `unlearning' what society.

teaches us about gender. Perhaps the most important lesson of sensitisation has to be the one of autonomy..

.

Parents, families and friends have to learn the difficult lesson that they have neither right nor duty to be women's `guardians'..

That women have every right to have friends, wear clothes, go where they wish, without seeking `permission' from brothers,.

fathers and families!.

.

Sex education in schools must of course teach the basic biological facts about sex, as well as the basic lessons of sexual.

health. But far more important is the lesson of autonomy over one's own body. We need structured programs where men are.

taught to respect women's sexual autonomy and women are made aware of their right over their body and consent..

.

Girls need to learn that their bodies are their own: not to be handed over by parents in marriage over to the husband. Women.

have the right to say no, even withdraw consent, in "committed relationships". Everyone should learn to take NO from friends.

and partners, without behaving self-destructively and violently, without inflicting unwanted `love,' threats or violence on the.

person who says NO!.

.

Some Concrete Steps for Campus to Resist Protectionism and Surveillance.

.

Campus security needs to stop monitoring, disciplining and interrogating couples sitting out late in the night by flashing torches.

in their faces, or women visiting men's hostel rooms..

.

It should be ensured that security personnel and hostel wardens do not think it is their `job' to maintain vigil over women's.

`moral' conduct..

.

CCTV cameras used as a tool for surveillance, infringement of privacy and enforcement of patriarchal codes need to be done.

away with..

.

The mandatory gender orientation programme started last year must be enriched and broadened in consultation with the.

Centre for Women's Studies by introducing lecture modules/courses in various centres to expand the reach of the gender.

discourse across disciplines and centres in JNU. Based on the resolutions of SSS Board of Studies steps have already been.

initiated in this direction..

.

In keeping with this (and along with several crucial issues for the GSCSAH I have detailed in other leaflets), I propose that.

the GSCASH in JNU develop a module for workshops on masculinity, autonomy, and sexual harassment with the help of.

filmmakers, theatre persons, activists and academicians. This module, using interactive tools and literature (leaflets/.

.

folders etc) can be used in JNU in future, for every class/centre.- Abhiruchi Ranjan, candidate for GSCASH.

Biography:

I spent my professional life as an Interior Designer, and always harboured a dream of photography. Between moving internationally twice, a very demanding job and two kids to raise as a single parent, I never seemed to have time or money to indulge the whim.

I started taking evening classes at CCSF in 2007, with my first film camera, and fell in love. Since then, I have worked mostly in film, and my favourite cameras are vintage and low tech. Recently, I have challenged myself to find the same creative magic that I found in film, using digital tools. I believe that it is the eye, fresh mind, curiosity, imagination and drive that will deliver an unforgettable image. The tools and medium employed are secondary. I find inspiration in fleeting beauty, and the dream of the perfect image, which is usually just beyond the edge of my lens.

 

CCSF Photography and You:

On the recommendation of a friend, I enrolled in CCSF Photo51 in 2007 in the evening class. I have such happy memories of that semester. The days when I had class, I was energized, and could not wait for evening to get to class and learn. The instructors were down to earth, inspiring, smart and amazingly supportive. At that time, Photo 51 students could choose to learn using either digital or film cameras. I bought a simple 35mm film camera, and it was as if a whole new world was revealed to me.

Since then, I have completed most of the Photography classes offered at CCSF. In doing so, I have found inspiration, challenge and community. I have met so many talented and passionate photographers, both fellow students as well as instructors.

The thing I have valued most about my time at CCSF is the community. The diversity of the students is amazing, and I have been humbled many times when a fellow student revealed fantastic work during class critique. The learning experience I was offered has enriched my life in so many ways.

As an adult without a particular ambition to “attain “ a degree, I have nonetheless managed to gain some very solid photography skills.

I no longer take CCSF classes, but still miss the energy, community, learning and fun that I found in that darkroom.

What I learned at CCSF will never be unlearned, and my time there will always be a happy memory for me

The inaugural Femmepowerment brunch sought to provide opportunities for empowerment, support, learning and unlearning, and promotion of women-centered research, events, and organizing on campus and beyond.

"Exploring Race, Representation, and History in Children's Literature" This session for early childhood teachers, hosted by Teaching for Change's D.C. Area Educators for Social Justice and Project Unlearn on 1/26/2019, provided time for early childhood teachers to explore how to address issues of race, representation, and history in developmentally appropriate ways. The session was held at the beautiful Eaton Hotel in DC. Two children's books were provided to participants, courtesy of NMAAHC (where the session was originally scheduled) and donations from publishers. This session was in preparation for DC Black Lives Matter at School Week of Action. Learn more about the week of action here: www.dcareaeducators4socialjustice.org/black-lives-matter-...

I love the message these guys are promoting and have picked up more than a few of the unlearn beanies to send home to dad who wears them with amusement.
