    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.

  18. two lectures by william burroughs

    https://youtu.be/d-2a0Rti6-Y?si=KioGJXflz24OVOLE

    Audio recording of a lecture & writing class with students at Naropa University. Poet Allen Ginsberg is also in the audience. Burroughs covers topics including paranormal phenomena, magic, synchronicity, precognition, dreams, his cut-ups technique for writing, & he answers many questions from students & from Ginsberg in a Q & A. He reads from some of his fiction & non-fiction writings. The woman who asks many questions near the end & thanks him at the end I believe is Anne Waldman of Naropa University.

    https://youtu.be/xKfS1xemH6U?si=tiykZp1l2fnq2Bli

    This audio recording complements the previous one.

    In this recording Burroughs covers the cut-up method of writing in some detail, & reads from his own cut-up writings, as well as some by Burroughs’ sometime collaborator Brion Gysin. Burroughs describes how some cut-ups appear to be uncanny prognosticators, accurately predicting future events, according to Burroughs.

    He also describes experiments with audio cut-ups using tape recorders. He had intended to play recordings of some of Gysin’s tape experiments at this lecture, but the tapes had not arrived on time. Instead, Burroughs describes some of the cut-up tape experiments.

    And he covers other tape experiments that interest him conducted by paranormal investigators & what today is commonly known as EVP (electronic voice phenomena), where tape recorders are supposed to record unexplained mysterious human voices though no such sound input is available to the recorder. Burroughs refers to these as “Paranormal Voices” experiments/phenomena.

    Burroughs also makes reference to dreams, the last words of Dutch Schultz, Shakespeare, computers, Homer, Gertrude Stein, James Joyce, T.S. Eliot, & Carl Jung.
    There’s a long Q & A session with students at the end.

  19. 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

  20. Re-posting because I'm still kind of in love with this project. A Markov-powered homage to Gertrude Stein's "Tender Buttons":

  21. ...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

  25. 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.

  26. "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. salon.com/2024/03/19/call-for-

    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. Full stop.

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

  29. 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.”

    #ArtHistory #GertrudeStein #TootAllDogearedPages

  30. 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.”

  31. “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.

  32. "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.
    ¶9

    Room 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.

  34. #Genius #Time #GertrudeStein

    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)

  35. "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."
