"Sissydom", *(...from the Archives)
*(I found this from one of my long ago Nuked Queer Blogs,...no idea which one. I just came upon a box of printouts. These dated 2006. 15 bleeping years ago!
I made paper copies of posts to read on the radio.)
It begins,...
Was always a gleeful Queer. I came out while still in my Mommy's tummy.
When my mother was at City College in the 1940's her pals were dykes, and Queers. She was in Show Bizz. Queers tended to hang out in all that.
So ma knew about being "in the life", and never gave me any static. This when it became clear what she had on her hands. I was seriously lucky in that way.
To the subject. There should be more Sissy Boys. They're sweet helpful smart kindly, and are sharp with wit. They'd make perfect Scouts. Don't know why the official Scouting is trying so hard at keep them out.
* (...at the time of this writing Queer Scouts being recognized, and accepted as such was still Communist science fiction.)
I'd really like to be a Queer Scout Den Mother.
I raised platoons of nieces, and nephews so I know the ropes.
Anyway this is my suggestion for a "National Sissy Day".
This to be held the day before Halloween. For one it won't be insanely hot, and humid as it always is on Queer Pride Day. The other it will lend itself very sweetly to the neat Pagan ritual of Halloween.
We can also wear the same costumes to both!
Our totem banner will be the Pink Triangle. We use this because Sissies are 'still' being killed around the world, and here catching hell from everybody including the mutant straight gays. Women, and Queers are cool, but men, and straight gays would toss Sissies into Ovens.
Such are the ways of human endeavors.
More later.
Time for my Ice Cream break.
*(The above from centuries ago perhaps summer given the ice cream mention. Such a life I've had.)
This is from a film about Ludwig Wittgenstein by Derek Jarman.
ReplyDeleteWittgenstein was one of the great queer geniuses of the 20th century. When Lord John Maynard Keynes met him for the first time he wrote to his wife that "I have met God today".
Although Wittgenstein came from the wealthiest family in Austria he gave away most of his money to poets like Rilke. For a while he worked as a gardener in a monastery. He had no college degrees and liked to pick up boys in the parks of Vienna. Bertrand Russell finally brought him to Cambridge University in England.
Here are a couple of good lines from his work:
4.1212 "What can be shown, cannot be said." -Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus
5.43 "...all the propositions of logic say the same thing, to wit nothing." -Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus
"My aim is: to teach you to pass from a piece of disguised nonsense to that which is patent nonsense." -Philosophical Investigations - 464
Oh my.
ReplyDeleteSuch wonders such dreams such souls.
