Sometimes it lasts in love and it hurts anyways.
“It reminds me of the “bike to work” movement. That is also portrayed as white,...”

I hate academia for redefining ”queer” to mean anything vaguely fresh ‘n’ sexy and redefining ”cyborg” to mean something other than roboticized superhuman.
#and for tolerating Judith Butler’s prose style
Yeah!
Tangentially: for one of my papers in my gender & sexuality (i.e. poststructural feminist readings on gender) class, I tried to suggest that premature...

Reading Week should be renamed Sleeping Week. So far I have been sleeping twelve hours a day. And do you think I spent the other twelve a day reading? Not likely.

From Joan Larkin's "The Combo"
“In barlight alchemized: gold pate, the bellmouth tenor, liquor trapped in a glass. The e-flat clarinet chases time, strings shudder, remembering the hundred tongues. Here comes old snakeshine, scrolls stored in the well, here comes the sobbing chazzan.”

Advice for an Amateur Ne'er-do-well (A Narrative...
The day before last I encountered a man who is the son of a noteworthy Modernist poet. I had never met the man before, but I have certainly met his type: an amnesiac devotee of the doctrine of “self-interest,” who has pitifully forgotten that “enlightened” is supposed to precede “self-interest.” Of course when I met him, I was not quite aware of his...

Some Lies my Sociology Textbook Told Me
The textbook: Ravelli, Bruce and Michelle Webber. Exploring Sociology: A Canadian Perspective.

And today there will be a bunch of posts from my non-fashion other blog: lasciviousort.blogspot.com
So apologies for the mass of clothing posts. I was just moving the old posts from my “fashion” blog over to this one. Don’t worry; the Madame DeChevre blog is not going super-sartorial.
And now begins the massive reblogging project where I reblog all of my own blog posts from my other blog. Prepare for fashion spam.

Did You Know?
Yesterday I was sitting in my graduate seminar on gender & sexuality. I was trying not to fall asleep because it’s an 8am class (meaning that I usually get 4 or fewer hours of sleep the night before) and because I fell asleep in the class last week, thereby both offending my professor and making her think I’m incompetent. That, however, has nothing to do with the story.
Actually...

So I completely renovated my blog. I am also going to move some of the posts from my other blogs over here so I can just have one good, consistent blog. This blog will no longer be a strictly literary blog, but a fully-integrated-Jade blog. Exciting times!
