If/when you have a moment, could you share your thoughts on Gertrude Stein in general and "Tender Buttons" in particular?
I haven't been yet to that exhibition I mentioned to you a little while ago, but I have been revisiting "Tender Buttons" and thinking about Stein.

Knowing that you stan Stein, I also thought of you when I saw this announcement:
I'll be going to see this exhibition in a couple of weeks. I wonder what it will say, or not say, about her politics in general and her friendship with Bernard Faÿ in particular.

“It is not #civilised to want other people to believe what you believe because the essence of being civilised is to possess yourself as you are, and if you possess yourself as you are you of course cannot possess any one else, it is not your business.” - #GertrudeStein

Everybody gets so much information all day long that they lose their common sense.

@tender_buttons post above is another high point of Tender Buttons for me!
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.

Everyone thinks they are a genius. The only true genius is getting others to agree.
Let's try this again ...
excited about reading Gertrude Stein's The Making of Americans
and reading Francesca Wade's bio of Stein
and that's brought me back to reading Anaïs Nin again

I looked up the source of Gertrude Stein's "there is no such thing as repetition," which I saw misquoted and turned into inspirational images. It begins:
> Then also there is the important question of repetition and is there any such thing. Is there repetition or is there insistence. I am inclined to believe there is no such thing as repetition.
THESE
Drei die die erwähnten drei erwähnen sind zu viel Glas sind zu viele Hyazinthen zu viele Pferde. Pferden begegnet man auf einmal. Warum begegnet man auf einmal Pferden.

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.

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.

I turned off the notification 🔔 for @tender_buttons so I won't be boosting it as much. I trust that it's working. I've loaded over half the poem into the #bot program & will finish eventually. Now I'm looking forward to seeing its posts randomly in my feed as I always intended. It only posts 4x day so catching them will be rare. I enjoy inspiration & therapeutic distraction from this experimental work from 1914. Check it out if you like #queer literary history & #GertrudeStein
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

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.
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)
RIP Gertrude Stein
Yeah she died 78 years ago but I tried to bring her onto the fediverse last year. I think I have to give up that dream.
I wanted to make a bot that would toot her entire (public domain) prose poetry work Tender Buttons in order. The idea was for my benefit, to bring that inspiration into my feed at various times automatically. I hoped others might like it too as a refreshing break from typical discourse.

True, A #rose is a rose is a rose (#GertrudeStein). This one, though, is very special to me. My mom bought it for us. She died several years ago. We thought the rose bush had also died but then this appeared! 💜 #Bloomscrolling
