The spinster aunt is a science fiction fan with nothing to adore.
I’m all for tesseracting through the Omega Quadrant in a wisecracking talking ship (preferably one with a Holodeck), beaming down at warp speed to strange new worlds where no [one] has gone before, resisting even when it is futile, wearing silver spandex (or, if […]

Tired tirade with jokey payoff
Published August 2nd, 2008 in Art is my LIFE and Mass Media. 94 CommentsSpinster aunt wipes tear from eye
Published July 24th, 2008 in Art is my LIFE, Men Hate You, The Beauty Ultimatum and Sexploitation. 61 CommentsOver this morning’s coffee I had the pleasure of reading about the arrest of a Nova Scotia groper. And by “pleasure” I mean “blechy feeling.”
Oh, this groper isn’t any different from all the other gropers I’ve read about during my long career of groper-blaming: young Doug Schrader flits about the countryside feeling up women and […]
Musical interlude with Nellie McKay
Published July 19th, 2008 in Art is my LIFE and The Poetical Blamer. 26 CommentsI was sitting around in my interior designer Ed’s studio yesterday.

Yale will put the kibosh on Aliza Shvarts’ blood-cube at the big Art Show unless the Diva Cup diva
submits a clear and unambiguous written statement that her installation is a work of fiction: that she did not try to inseminate herself and induce miscarriages, and that no human blood will […]
Miscarriage art cube provokes “outcry”
Published April 18th, 2008 in Art is my LIFE and The State-Owned Uterus. 103 CommentsArt student Aliza Shvarts’ unholy, cavalier attitude toward the sanctity of the human blastocyst has squanked out the Yale undergraduate art department.
To obtain materials for her senior art project — a cube encased in plastic and blood onto which video is projected — Shvarts, over a period of nine months, inseminated herself “as often as […]
