Three names when institutions show their seams: Frank O'Hara wrote 500 poems on lunch napkins in a city with laws against him. Radclyffe Hall's banned lesbian novel outlived every magistrate. Gertrude Stein listened to herself. The work survives.

THESE
Three mentioned the three mentioned are too much glass too many hyacinths too many horses. Horses are used at once. Why are horses used at once.Text: prose #poem from "A Book Concluding With As A Wife Has A Cow" (1926) by American writer Gertrude #Stein (1874-1946)

A LITTLE BEGINNING
She says it is a small beginning, she says that partly this and partly that, she says it is partly this and partly that, she says that it is what she is accustomed to.Text: prose #poem from "A Book Concluding With As A Wife Has A Cow" (1926) by American writer Gertrude #Stein (1874-1946),

For #PrideMonth, I’m honoring Gertrude Stein—modernist icon, bold voice, and pioneer of queer love in literature. Her words rewrote language itself. Here are four Stein-inspired poems I crafted in tribute. 💙🌈 #blueskypoets #pride #poems #GertrudeStein

Re-posting because I'm still kind of in love with this project. A Markov-powered homage to Gertrude Stein's "Tender Buttons":
-
...when you make a thing, it is so complicated making it that it is bound to be ugly, but those that do it after you they don't have to worry about making it and they can make it pretty, and so everybody can like it when the others make it." --gertrude stein

They left the US for Europe: "Brilliant Exiles" by Robyn Asleson et al. tells the stories of about 60 #AmericanWomen in 1900-1939 Paris, in glorious artworks & articles, incl. on #JosephineBaker, #BereniceAbbot, #ZeldaFitzgerald, #GertrudeStein & more

My pet project #GertrudeStein bot @TenderButtons recently circled around to restart from the beginning. I feel calmed when I see these posts in my timeline. I experience the work mainly as words drained of rhetoric. These days that helps me significantly. Maintaining the account — it runs as preloaded, scheduled, automated posts, not really a bot — helps me too because my chronic pain prevents me from doing much more work than that currently. At least it's something.

"Downplaying the bloodbath comment or giving credence to the idea that it could have been a metaphor, ignores the fact that Trump had, just minutes before, been praising the January 6 insurrectionists who bashed cops and attempted to murder his vice president."
To riff on #GertrudeStein (forgive me #modernists), someone who knew a #metaphor when she saw one (and when she didn't): A bloodbath is a bloodbath is a bloodbath.
Another excellent column from @AmandaMarcotte. https://www.salon.com/2024/03/19/call-for-a-bloodbath-was-literal--lets-not-waste-time-pretending-it-was-ambiguous/

@GottaLaff. To riff on #GertrudeStein (forgive me modernists), a bloodbath is a bloodbath is a bloodbath.

The feuding between Matisse and Picasso reads like Twitch Streamer Drama. But also, I can’t stop thinking about this line:
“there is nothing within you [Matisse] that fights itself and hitherto you have had the instinct to produce antagonism in others which stimulated you to attack. But now they follow.”
-
The Autobiography of Alice B Toklas (by Gertrude Stein) is full of dry humor and French pettiness of the highest order, over the lowest stakes.
“So when Miss Stein said to her, Monsieur Matisse is staying for dinner this evening, she would say, in that case I will not make an omelette but fry the eggs. It takes the same number of eggs and the same amount of butter but it shows less respect, and he will understand.”
-
“A change, a final change includes potatoes. This is no authority for the abuse of cheese. What language can instruct any fellow.”
This stanza, particularly the first line, may be why @TenderButtons exists. Certain passages stick with us for years. This is one for me. Tender Buttons, a work of #experimental #dada #poetry by #GertrudeStein, is a foundational text in my journey to becoming an #abstract artist. I resist meaning & story to embrace exploration & uncertainty in being.

"Thirstiness is not equal division."
I brought back
@TenderButtons & I will continue to make changes to it until it gets into a sustainable rhythm. For the next 2 weeks it will be tooting about 4 times per day. I think I will get it down to 2x day after that. This is a labor of love because the peculiar turns of phrase by #GertrudeStein inspire me & I want to see this work on the fediverse. -

Tender Buttons :
Food :ROASTBEEF.
¶9Room to comb chickens and feathers and ripe purple, room to curve single plates and large sets and second silver, room to send everything away, room to save heat and distemper, room to search a light that is simpler, all room has no shadow.

Finally, someone who understands what I am trying to achieve!
A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
It takes a lot of time to be a genius, you have to sit around so much doing nothing, really doing nothing. -Gertrude Stein, novelist, poet, and playwright (3 Feb 1874-1946) -
"You will write if you will write without thinking of the result in terms of a result, but think of the writing in terms of discovery, which is to say that creation must take place
between the pen and the paper, not before in a thought or afterwards in a recasting...
It will come if it is there and if you will let it come."— #Quote by Gertrude Stein (Feb. 3, 1874 – July 27, 1946), American #novelist, #poet & #feminist pioneer ✍️📚
Today is her 150th birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, #GertrudeStein! 🌈
