There is no falser problem in painting than depth and, in particular, perspective. For perspective is only a historical manner of occupying [in the sense of "giving an occupation to] diagonals or transversals, lines of flight... Lines of flight as perspective lines, far from being made to represent depth, themselves invent the possibility of such a representation, which occupies them only for an instant, at a given moment. Perspective, and even depth, are the reterritorialization of lines of flight, which alone created painting by carrying it farther. What is called central perspective in particular plunged the multiplicity of escapes and the dynamism of lines into a punctual black hole. Conversely, it is true that problems of perspective triggered a whole profusion of creative lines, a mass release of visual blocks, at the very moment they claimed to have gained mastery over them. Is painting, in each of its acts of creation, engaged in a becoming as intense as that of music?

The musician is in the best position to say: "I hate the faculty of memory, I hate memories." And that is because he or she affirms the power of becoming…. The important thing is that all musicians have always proceeded in this way: drawing their own diagonal, however fragile, outside points, outside coordinates and localizable connections, in order to float a sound block down a created, liberated line, in order to unleash in space this mobile and mutant sound block, a haecceity (for example, chromaticism, aggregates, and complex notes, but already the resources and possibilities of polyphony, etc.).

the idea that restrooms, locker rooms, etc need to be single-sex spaces in order for women to be safe is patriarchy's way of signalling to men & boys that society doesn't expect them to behave themselves around women. it is directly antifeminist. it would be antifeminist even if trans people did not exist. a feminist society would demand that women should be safe in all spaces even when there are men there.

I knew I wanted to write a piece using the product review format and so I focused on a time in my life when I felt the absolute failure to transform... I'd selected an artist because she did zombie and movie makeup thinking that she might be able to turn me into a character. She was lovely and professional, but what I'd ask for was impossible. This piece is about asking for the impossible.
