I took an accidental nap after work and woke up at almost 8. Not ideal for fixing my sleep schedule. But I really needed it. I hate when I get so tired I get dizzy. It is not fun at all.

Today was a pretty nice day though. I slept pretty well. And I woke up and was excited to wear my green jumpsuit for St Patrick's day. I was messaging Laura all morning about Irish stuff. Superstitious stuff. Facts. It was cute.

I made a bagel to bring with me. And was happy to drive in. It was a good day. Beautiful out. Not as warm but still comfortable. I am hoping it is just going to be a beautiful and cozy spring.

I said good morning to James when I got to the museum. And went to start getting things together. I walked the tour route. No one else was there yet except for Rosia. I went to ask James to scratch my shoulder blade for me and that's when a bus pulled up?? It was only 904!! No one should be there yet!! Nothing was ready! No educator's were here!!

I went outside to say hello and it was my group. Shit. When I came inside Jessica was literally running through the musuem. She was uspset. Why were they already here? I suggested we set up a scavenger hunt. So me and Rosia went to get that. Adam came and grabbed a table to help. And I would get that handed out once the girls were all inside.

This was all 7th grade girls. And they were super sweet. So really it could have been worse. They would spend almost the next hour working on the scavenger hunt and just hanging out and taking pictures. So the educators could just take a breath and get everything ready. It really could have been a whole lot worse.

We had tours first. I went and got my little group and we had s pretty excellent tour. They were fun and had great questions and insight. We stopped at the car to take pictures. And at the pharmacy because one of the buildings at their school is named for the same pharmacist, Dr Bunting. So that was really neat.

We went to restoration next to do balls and track. And Cindy did a pretty good job for her first one. There was some mixing up of info and some ways she could slow down, the story telling aspect. But the girls got it and even the teachers made a team to build their own. It was fun. And I got to mostly chill to the side and work on my knitting and just enjoyed the hour.

They had lunch next. And I was honestly starving. I have been trying to make breakfast at home more but I never get this shakey when I get McDonald's breakfast. So I had my pasta and felt better.

I went and made sure my cannery was set up the way I wanted. And then got the girls to come to sit down. And it was a good cannery. I felt like we were running to fast though.

My intro was a couple minutes short. But it was fine. The first shift was for sure short though so I decided I would make my middle longer. But it we ended the second shift to early we were going to be in trouble. So I set a timer. And my shuckers we're getting in line to be paid spend the 4 minute mark. Which made Michael think it was time to call it. I told him to wait because we were only 5 minutes in. And he was like oh okay. But there was miscommunication upstairs and so some people got paid way to early. I let Jessica know about the confusion and we would figure it out. We would be left for 15 extra minutes after the stores. But they were fine.

During the stores I got everything set away and cleaned. And then once everyone was done we headed out. I took the other half of the tour group to take pictures at the car. Some went with their teachers to stand on the pier. And then it was time for them to go.

Except they didn't. Instead they went to the gift shop but then they were off.

I went upstairs to clean oysters. And ended up having a fabulous conversation with Jordan, Gaby, and Cindy about modern vs contemporary art and told them all about some of my favorite artists. Like Felix Gonzalez Torrez and Mike Kelley and Richard Serra. And they really like me just get in deep with my explanations and it was so nice to talk about things I'm so passionate about.

At 3 we were done. And I went and sat with James until they were done all their bookkeeping and closing stuff and then we headed home.

I got really tired in the car. And when we got home all I wanted to do was eat dinner. But that would take a bit. Even if it was mostly quick foods. So I had some angel food cake and candy and hung out in the couch. I drew a steel worker bear but he just looks like a construction worker. Ah well. Still cute.

James finished dinner and we laid on the couch. Eventually though I wanted to sleep. And moved to the bedroom. And fell asleep really quickly.

While I was out James accidently locked themself out of the building. Thankfully a neighbor let them in. And I woke up a quarter to 8 pretty disoriented. I am feeling better now. I have spent the last two hours laying in bed with James and watching videos and it was a good day.

I have nothing to do tomorrow. So I am going to clean the apartment and make art. Fingers crossed it is a wonderful day.

Sleep well everyone. Take care of yourself!!

Critical Question & Reflection 2

Critical Question: What is the artists role in a politically charged environment?

Reflection:

Art and politics are intrinsically linked… and current news headlines reveal flare-ups in both of them. The reason for this divide through history is (partly) that politics is the enforcement of generalized norms for a wide field of people, and art is involved in the breaking-down of norms. This is why Robert Knicks described Felix Gonzalez-Torres's work as generating "new modes of contestation." In several ways, this is the purpose of all forms of art. The last few weeks we have seen increased restrictions on artistic performances and political free speech, such as Tennessee's attempt to label drag queen arts as "prurient" performances that are socially or morally reprehensible, followed up by a racially motivated expulsion of two black Democrats for gun control protests in the same state.

Political movements to limit expression in any form is anti-historical, no matter how the guise is hidden behind euphemism or legalese. And the point behind Gonzales-Torrez work was charge his art with a similar political message while maintaining simplicity and minimalism. His "Untitled" from 1991 is basically a stack of paper on the gallery floor that endlessly replenishes itself as visitors take sheets away for themselves. The two circles, similar to an infinity loop, come within a hair of each other and symbolize the delicacy of cultural interchange.

For me, political struggles are intensified the more one group tries to box-in, define and control what is essentially undefinable. Subjects of gender, speech and drag are non-static and evolving, and artists are naturally opposed to shallow attempts to control it. Art revels in it's own indefinability.

LGBTQ+ Novels/Memoirs

Here is the book list from my LIS 618 class. The links will bring you to their Goodreads pages.

The 57 Bus by Dashka Slater (2017) *based on a true story* "One teenager in a skirt. One teenager with a lighter. One moment that changes both of their lives forever. If it weren't for the 57 bus, Sasha and Richard never would have met. Both were high school students from Oakland, California, one of the most diverse cities in the country, but they inhabited different worlds. Sasha, a white teen, lived in the middle-class foothills and attended a small private school. Richard, a black teen, lived in the crime-plagued flatlands and attended a large public one. Each day, their paths overlapped for a mere eight minutes. But one afternoon on the bus ride home from school, a single reckless act left Sasha severely burned, and Richard charged with two hate crimes and facing life imprisonment. The case garnered international attention, thrusting both teenagers into the spotlight."

Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Saenz (2012) "Aristotle is an angry teen with a brother in prison. Dante is a know-it-all who has an unusual way of looking at the world. When the two meet at the swimming pool, they seem to have nothing in common. But as the loners start spending time together, they discover that they share a special friendship--the kind that changes lives and lasts a lifetime. And it is through this friendship that Ari and Dante will learn the most important truths about themselves and the kind of people they want to be."

The Art of Being Normal by Lisa Williamson (2016) "Two boys. Two secrets. David Piper has always been an outsider. His parents think he’s gay. The school bully thinks he’s a freak. Only his two best friends know the real truth – David wants to be a girl. On the first day at his new school Leo Denton has one goal – to be invisible. Attracting the attention of the most beautiful girl in year eleven is definitely not part of that plan. When Leo stands up for David in a fight, an unlikely friendship forms. But things are about to get messy. Because at Eden Park School secrets have a funny habit of not staying secret for long…"

Felix Ever After by Kacen Callender (2020) "Felix Love has never been in love—and, yes, he’s painfully aware of the irony. He desperately wants to know what it’s like and why it seems so easy for everyone but him to find someone. What’s worse is that, even though he is proud of his identity, Felix also secretly fears that he’s one marginalization too many—Black, queer, and transgender—to ever get his own happily-ever-after. When an anonymous student begins sending him transphobic messages—after publicly posting Felix’s deadname alongside images of him before he transitioned—Felix comes up with a plan for revenge. What he didn’t count on: his catfish scenario landing him in a quasi–love triangle...."

Gender Queer by Maia Kobabe (2019) "In 2014, Maia Kobabe, who uses e/em/eir pronouns, thought that a comic of reading statistics would be the last autobiographical comic e would ever write. At the time, it was the only thing e felt comfortable with strangers knowing about em. Now, Gender Queer is here. Maia's intensely cathartic autobiography charts eir journey of self-identity, which includes the mortification and confusion of adolescent crushes, grappling with how to come out to family and society, bonding with friends over erotic gay fanfiction, and facing the trauma of pap smears. Started as a way to explain to eir family what it means to be nonbinary and asexual, Gender Queer is more than a personal story: it is a useful and touching guide on gender identity--what it means and how to think about it--for advocates, friends, and humans everywhere."

I Wish You All the Best by Mason Deaver (2019) "When Ben De Backer comes out to their parents as nonbinary, they're thrown out of their house and forced to move in with their estranged older sister, Hannah, and her husband, Thomas, whom Ben has never even met. Struggling with an anxiety disorder compounded by their parents' rejection, they come out only to Hannah, Thomas, and their therapist and try to keep a low profile in a new school. But Ben's attempts to survive the last half of senior year unnoticed are thwarted when Nathan Allan, a funny and charismatic student, decides to take Ben under his wing. As Ben and Nathan's friendship grows, their feelings for each other begin to change, and what started as a disastrous turn of events looks like it might just be a chance to start a happier new life."

Little & Lion by Brandy Colbert (2017) "When Suzette comes home to Los Angeles from her boarding school in New England, she isn't sure if she'll ever want to go back. L.A. is where her friends and family are (along with her crush, Emil). And her stepbrother, Lionel, who has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, needs her emotional support. But as she settles into her old life, Suzette finds herself falling for someone new...the same girl her brother is in love with. When Lionel's disorder spirals out of control, Suzette is forced to confront her past mistakes and find a way to help her brother before he hurts himself--or worse."

The Music of What Happens by Bill Konigsberg (2019) "IMax: Chill. Sports. Video games. Gay and not a big deal, not to him, not to his mom, not to his buddies. And a secret: An encounter with an older kid that makes it hard to breathe, one that he doesn't want to think about, ever. Jordan: The opposite of chill. Poetry. His "wives" and the Chandler Mall. Never been kissed and searching for Mr. Right, who probably won't like him anyway. And a secret: A spiraling out of control mother, and the knowledge that he's the only one who can keep the family from falling apart. Throw in a rickety, 1980s-era food truck called Coq Au Vinny. Add in prickly pears, cloud eggs, and a murky idea of what's considered locally sourced and organic. Place it all in Mesa, Arizona, in June, where the temp regularly hits 114. And top it off with a touch of undeniable chemistry between utter opposites."

Odd One Out by Nic Stone (2018) "Courtney "Coop" Cooper Dumped. Again. And normally I wouldn't mind. But right now, my best friend and source of solace, Jupiter Sanchez, is ignoring me to text some girl. Rae Evelyn Chin I assumed "new girl" would be synonymous with "pariah," but Jupiter and Courtney make me feel like I'm right where I belong. I also want to kiss him. And her. Which is . . . perplexing. Jupiter Charity-Sanchez The only thing worse than losing the girl you love to a boy is losing her to your boy. That means losing him, too. I have to make a move. . . . One story. Three sides. No easy answers."

Ramona Blue by Julie Murphy (2017) "'Ramona was only five years old when Hurricane Katrina changed her life forever. Since then, it’s been Ramona and her family against the world. Standing over six feet tall with unmistakable blue hair, Ramona is sure of three things: she likes girls, she’s fiercely devoted to her family, and she knows she’s destined for something bigger than the trailer she calls home in Eulogy, Mississippi. But juggling multiple jobs, her flaky mom, and her well-meaning but ineffectual dad forces her to be the adult of the family. Now, with her sister, Hattie, pregnant, responsibility weighs more heavily than ever."

Rethinking Normal by Katie Rain Hill (2014) "Have you ever worried that you'd never be able to live up to your parents' expectations? Have you ever imagined that life would be better if you were just invisible? Have you ever thought you would do anything--anything--to make the teasing stop? Katie Hill had and it nearly tore her apart. Katie never felt comfortable in her own skin. She realized very young that a serious mistake had been made; she was a girl who had been born in the body of a boy. Suffocating under her peers' bullying and the mounting pressure to be "normal," Katie tried to take her life at the age of eight years old. After several other failed attempts, she finally understood that "Katie"--the girl trapped within her--was determined to live."

They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera (2017) "On September 5, a little after midnight, Death-Cast calls Mateo Torrez and Rufus Emeterio to give them some bad news: They’re going to die today. Mateo and Rufus are total strangers, but, for different reasons, they’re both looking to make a new friend on their End Day. The good news: There’s an app for that. It’s called the Last Friend, and through it, Rufus and Mateo are about to meet up for one last great adventure—to live a lifetime in a single day."

Two Boys Kissing by David Levithan (2013) "New York Times bestselling author David Levithan tells the based-on-true-events story of Harry and Craig, two 17-year-olds who are about to take part in a 32-hour marathon of kissing to set a new Guinness World Record—all of which is narrated by a Greek Chorus of the generation of gay men lost to AIDS. While the two increasingly dehydrated and sleep-deprived boys are locking lips, they become a focal point in the lives of other teen boys dealing with languishing long-term relationships, coming out, navigating gender identity, and falling deeper into the digital rabbit hole of gay hookup sites—all while the kissing former couple tries to figure out their own feelings for each other."

We are the Ants by Shaun David Hutchinson (2016) "Henry Denton has spent years being periodically abducted by aliens. Then the aliens give him an ultimatum: The world will end in 144 days, and all Henry has to do to stop it is push a big red button. Only he isn’t sure he wants to. After all, life hasn’t been great for Henry. His mom is a struggling waitress held together by a thin layer of cigarette smoke. His brother is a jobless dropout who just knocked someone up. His grandmother is slowly losing herself to Alzheimer’s. And Henry is still dealing with the grief of his boyfriend’s suicide last year. Wiping the slate clean sounds like a pretty good choice to him. But Henry is a scientist first, and facing the question thoroughly and logically, he begins to look for pros and cons: in the bully who is his perpetual one-night stand, in the best friend who betrayed him, in the brilliant and mysterious boy who walked into the wrong class. Weighing the pain and the joy that surrounds him, Henry is left with the ultimate choice: push the button and save the planet and everyone on it…or let the world—and his pain—be destroyed forever."

You Should See Me in a Crown by Leah Johnson (2020) "Liz Lighty has always believed she's too black, too poor, too awkward to shine in her small, rich, prom-obsessed midwestern town. But it's okay -- Liz has a plan that will get her out of Campbell, Indiana, forever: attend the uber-elite Pennington College, play in their world-famous orchestra, and become a doctor. But when the financial aid she was counting on unexpectedly falls through, Liz's plans come crashing down . . . until she's reminded of her school's scholarship for prom king and queen. There's nothing Liz wants to do less than endure a gauntlet of social media trolls, catty competitors, and humiliating public events, but despite her devastating fear of the spotlight she's willing to do whatever it takes to get to Pennington. The only thing that makes it halfway bearable is the new girl in school, Mack. She's smart, funny, and just as much of an outsider as Liz. But Mack is also in the running for queen. Will falling for the competition keep Liz from her dreams . . . or make them come true?"
