Introduction/Definition/etc

 

Poking around the Safer Space stuff from Bike!Bike!

SouthEast and looking at other possibilities...

 

 

Body

 

cis means this side of, as in cisMale, assigned / born Male,

and keeping it that way, while trans means changing it,

so mostly from the transsexual communities, and all

the permutations thereof...  cisWhite, as a comedy

thing for Colbert, assigned White, and happy with it,

not trying to change that...

 

From another's perspective though, it might be out

of bounds, if the boundary between people is somewhere

between them, and you set the boundary one place,

and they set it another...  So normal for them is probably

different... Applying Statistics and Abnormal Psych,

and you quickly learn that what is abnormal is relative,

as you learn more and more oddities out in the world...

 

Say you were born into a community that was 90-98+% White,

and then move to a big city, where it's say 50% White,

you would then have all sorts of adjustment stuff to

deal with, say meeting your first neighbors who weren't

what you are, Marshmellow (really mallow, but mellow,

is kewl too...) bread, let's say...

 

Like Crunchy Granola types, the earthy people,

who go to coops, food coops, and let their hair grow,

Birkenstocks, and other stereotypical attire,

maybe tie dye t-shirts, or went corporate and

black t shirts like Apple, genius or not..

 

There was something in there, but I'm forgetting,

so cisOld... 

 

Oh, watched a Cornel West, Ph.D. video,

talking at Southern Illinois University

(one of those I states out west,

but not Idaho, Indiana?... Yep), he had a cold,

and one of the first times I've seen a video

of him...  A Nelson Mandela event... 

His rhetoric of Love, and took questions

at the end, some of which were off the wall,

even for me...  The audience was not shown

until the end, and just the front row(s), for

people going up towards him...

 

Someone handed him a napkin/ paper towel/

Kleenex, and then someone else gave water,

the first one got a hug, and later he thought

of not giving them his cold...

 

Reading up on his issues with Harvard,

from Wikipedia and looks like it was just

the one President (Sommer?),

and back to normal, for them...

More recently Harvard wants him back,

and some between department/college

things, cross fertilization, as we used to

call it...  West shows a broad spectrum of

interests and gets lots of media coverage,

he has done Hip Hop, and Spoken Word,

CDs, and collaborated with just about

everyone...

 

Wikipedia mentions he has / had prostate cancer,

so not sure how that is going, but not really

any of my business...  He is only 10 years older

than I, and doing well for himself, giving Love,

lectures and basically preaching philosophia

and other terms you can learn by watching the

video...  Maybe not one of his best,

but not that far from Furgeson (sp?), and he's

been arrested many times, I guess it doesn't

matter, as he is a public figure and it is

protest arrests, even after Race Matters

and comments about Obama, he doesn't

mind criticizing anyone, though I haven't

seen him self criticizing, but not seem

much of his stuff...

 

Depressives, on the other hand, probably

do that a lot, so self effacing humour is one

thing but to put it out to others is another...

How can you say that of other people?

Well, you don't see how critical I am of

myself, do you?

 

If depression is anger turned inwards,

as some people think, where does the

anger start?  In childhood?   Critical parents?

Drinkers?  Society?  As a red haired kid

growing up, well, bigger, not really maturing

in the normal way, still ride a bicycle,

still running away from home, but I get

tired and hungry fairly quickly, run out of money,

found Girl Scout cookies, but could only buy

one box, as poor, and needed emergency funds

for soda, etc...  Peanut butter cookies and liquid

is really required, especially when warm out,

the cold snap has ended, for now, rainy,

April Showers starting early, and the

Cherry Blossoms were just late, not early,

as I had previously assumed...

/TangentialEndForNow

 

Dr. West talks of being able to civilily (sp??)

talk about (discuss?) issues, mostly race,

but other stuff...  Most people are called

Brothers and Sisters...

And he wants to make his parents proud...

Even though he lost one of them...

One was a teacher, and another a priest/

pastor, iirc...  Back before corporate takes

over the churches too...  He was critical of

success, if only monetarily, and willing to die

for a cause like Who Would Die For You?

 

He spoke at West Point and they thought him

a soldier (self reported), he calls it a Love Soldier

and a lot of rhetoric, that I've heard before,

but not sure where from, turns out it's all

around me...  And not just rhetoric

to everyone, for some, it has meaning...

Conclusion

 

Summary of experience or similar

 

Oddity going back to D.C. after last weekend,

this time finding and buying Girl Scout

cookies, kind of like Spring Is Here,

as cookies, and cookie monster

temporarily satisfied, not happy,

but not growling at the moment,

either...

What Identities do you claim?

cis?

Trans?

Normal?

Gay?

Homo?

Hetero?

Straight?

Queer?

Lesbian?

Green?

Republican?

Dem?

Independent?

Autistic?

What characteristics set you apart from the Norm?

So what dimensions exist for describing a person?

Gender?

Androgenous?

Hemaphrodite?

ASexual?

Orientation?

Race?

Ethnicity?

Class?

Wealth?

OnePercent?

NinetyNinePercent?

Education?

Pretty soon it's more like GeekCode of all the attributes you

might have, that might not really matter, in the business world,

does it matter what Race you are?  Do you speak HipHop?

French? Russian?  Greek?  SnoBall?  Lisp?  or are you

a Fortran only Model Bot?

 

Why Label?

Do you have to Declare?

Is it safe to Declare in various environments?

 

Or would that lead to problems?

 

Saw a bumper sticker Neanderthal Rifle Association

and began to wonder...

 

They used to say you could not unring a bell...

In substance abuse classes, and wondering

about whether declaring so much out there

on the InterWebs is that smart an idea,

as had qualms about it at StreetSense,

but had to write about what we know,

and what the editor/ group wanted,

pimp us out to the world for a few

papers per month, and a chance

at Fame...  Or was it just a way to

have something in print, before we die,

like at least three SS people did...

(Cliff, Jesse, and likely many others)

 

West describes music as a function and

relates to the blues, as a story telling

method, do you agree?  Is it really

the Black Culture being transmitted,

or do they pimp out to the RIAAA,

etc?  Back to Gospel? To Really Sing?

 

What deviations of Religion do you Declare?

cisMuslim?  cisCatholic?  cisAtheist?

cisAgnostic?  cisNonFaith?  cisSecular?

 

Would declaring Hispanic heritage be a

disqualifier given the current political climate?

Like one drop of black is an indication of

unpure, somehow?

 

How does this compare to Nazi Germany

and the rising Nationalism leading to the Holocaust?

 

cisGerman? 

cisNeo? 

cisMatrix?

cisGeek?

cisBoring?
