making bingo sheets whenever I go out and the one for last night had a few gems on it- “shorts and boots”, “real tree baseball cap”, “fist in air,” “black arm band tattoo” and “oogle couture” were heavy hitters

nothing better than when a band has two drummers. Melvin’s style. Godspeed show opened up my eyes to the possibilities of something even more sinister… two cellos

Riot cops did full sweep of the campus not allowing observers to return to their offices. They made everyone exit through a narrow gate. I saw people moving towards the exit arrested for no reason and I saw non-participants forced in to harms way because of the violence outside the gates.
Guns on view. Chancellor overrode campus leadership and ordered full dispersal. Cops in full riot gear.
Whelp. I’m in the faculty line in front of the student encampment. I knew it would happen. My goal is simply to be witness in case of police action. Zip ties are on view.

Agamben, hölderlins madness: “that is why, when he translates Sophocles’ Ajax, he renders the phrase theiai maniai xynaulos, literally ‘dwelling with divine madness’ as ‘sein haus ist göttliche Wahnsinn, ‘his house is divine madness’”

shadowboxing this insane intro to a book titled “disciplined dissent: strategies of non-confrontational protest in Europe from the twelfth to early sixteenth centuries” and still can’t get over how easily this author equates protest with, say, participating in politics without causing any alarm.
