2. “female” and our concept of “feminine” are not considered worse or inferior to ”male” or our concept of ”masculine”. It is as cool to be female and to be feminine as it is to be a boy or to be masculine.

3. Being sexually attractive is no longer a prime source of a female’s value.

4. The hyper-sexualisation, reproduction and consumption of the female body is stopped.  

These are the four main Feminist issues for me, I see them as the four main areas in society that harm women. I will focus on these four main issues in my blogs. I will focus on what they are, on what causes them, and on what has to change.

Yeah well, a little backstory first-- I've been hunting for an alternative to Mozilla Gecko to power NaviLibrary (it's a little noodle I wrote that allows people to embed web content within their 3D applications). I wanted something that was a little faster, a little smaller, and cross-platform. WebKit seemed like a great choice-- it had coherent API, strong developer base, and wasn't as bloaty as Gecko-- until I realized that it linked to some proprietary/non-redistributable stuff (CoreGraphics and CFNetwork dependencies made it off-limits for OSS library experiments).

I was keeping track of the WebKit Cairo port, hoping that it would someday fulfill my needs, when out of nowhere-- Google Chrome was instantiated. The browser is kick-ass and will surely bring about a new Age of the Internet but when I heard they were using WebKit, I realized there was something way awesome-er about this news. Sure enough, they had made their own cross-platform port of WebKit and replaced the proprietary dependencies with some even cooler things (such as Skia for graphics and their game-changing V8 Javascript engine). I knew what I had to do.

I got the source and spent several days absorbing all I could about their codebase, its API, the linkage, etc. What I aimed to achieve was this: extract their port of WebKit (V8, Skia, and all), wrap it up into another library (specifically for use in a window-less context), and create an application that could load up a webpage and render it to memory.

After much finoodling (and 2000 unresolved externals later), I've accomplished phase 1 of my project 'Awesomum' (which is "omg, I was able to load a page and render it without crashing!"):

The API that Google put together is really quite kick-ass-- it's got support for injection of mouse/keyboard events, Javascript evaluation, invalidation callbacks, navigation callbacks, and best of all, it lets us do off-screen, selective rendering. I really can't wait to finish wrapping this up completely and start playing around with it.

I'm running into a few problems with certain content right now (I'm still trying to fully replicate the correct initialization of the core)-- but I've definitely made some tangible progress. I'll keep yall posted with more as it happens~!

A shirt that Super Junior ShinDong wore on Mnet channel recently has got netizens talking. There was a picture of a woman clad in just her underwear printed on it.

Netizens pointed out the concept of the shirt is similar to that of what Big Bang member GDragon had worn before.

And this came out shortly after GDragon appeared on Mnet 20’s choice wearing a shirt with controversial words printed on it…

Oh Youtube, you never cease to entertain me! While browsing the internet video giant's site I came across this hilarious and sexy video of how to uplift the spirits of employees in a boring office environment. Carmen Palumbo shows us ways in which we can make work that much more productive. For part 2 of the video, click here ->

Rubbing some lube in and on the right places,I kneel behind him. Grabbing the harness, I slid gently in, and got my rhythm going. I could hear him moaning then realized it was me, We both were sweating from the action, and I wanted to kick it up a notch. I slowed my pace and reached for the lube. Putting some in my hand I reached around and found what I was hoping for and was not disappointed. 

Between the stroking and the stroking, I could feel more then the heat coming from my thighs, I knew from the way he was pushing back he was just as close. I could wait any longer and then...

My vibrator stopped, it stopped. I looked around and saw that my clock was out and the fan wasn't on.

Fuck

I coud hear voices form the neighborhood, and not wanting to look out my window I heard someone having a conversation with a Con Edison worker.

It would figure a man, not one but two would deny me my orgasm. One guy was telling another, that they were working on it and that it was just this block. I on the other hand couldn't give a rats ass about them working on it. Since they caused it.

Idea

I jumpped out of bed, set my phone to alarm at 7 am, jumped back into bed and realized my mother (although I hate to admit it) is right. As long as a girl has two fingers and some imagination, she can take herself far.

Now where was I? Ah right.

Feeling like I couldn't take it any more I grabbed the harnse and stroked until the big O. 

Okay so, this is what goes on in my head after playing with the butterfly. I'm either going to have to work on some shit or get over some shit.

Until next time Perverts

But fortunately, there is Bravissimo.  My most favourite, bestest bra shop in the whole wide universe.  Who make bras that not only fit me, but fit me well, make my boobs look like sex-bomb bazookas and all in delicious, lacy, silky deliciousness.  And, all in the R200 to R400 range-ish, which, because I luckily earn more than minimum wage, I can just about afford.

They only start at a D.  And they go up to a K or something silly.  You could fit your whole head a K-cup, people!  But they are in London.  Which is a long, long way away.

Anyway, so I have to smokel* to get them.  Import duties here are prohibitive.  So anytime someone goes to London or comes here to visit from London, I beg them to sneak a brassier into their luggage.   

And today I am deeeelighted!  My awesome and most fantastic friend L, just brought the below beauties back for me.  I’m wearing the bottom one right now.  It’s beeeeooooooooouuuuutiful!

Thank you Bravissimo.  Again.  For making me feel sexy and gorgeous instead of a freak of large boobishness.  When the FUCK are bra companies going to realise that chicks with big boobs are out there.  And need to feel pretty too.  Plonkers.

Retail therapy rocks.  Finding beautiful lingerie for my very curvy curves rocks even more.

Distilling The Essential From The Special

[By Art Rosengarten. First published in The MetaArts Magazine, 2003]

To be a Tarot-based Buddhist Jungian--a ‘Tabugian’ [‘ta-BOO-ghee-en’]--is to be an interactive and spontaneous blend of essential teachings.  By comparison, one-way belief systems like fundamentalist religion, stern father-figures, and hard science (anointed by the dictum of ‘either/or’) no longer hold sway in a pluralistic metaverse where personal and collective identity evolves with increasing velocity towards differentiation, cross-fertilization, specialization (particularization), and eclecticism. 

The advent of the guru import industry of the 1960s, 70s, and 80s in North America and Europe saw thousands of bright and earnest spiritual seekers (bored baby-boomers looking for meaning) experimenting with substitute orthodoxies while hoping to find The One “one-way” school that carried a formula that actually worked, had a certain sexiness or "brand-ability," and required some thinking before joining. Powerful and exotic teachings appeared during this mini-Rennaissance, which, in retrospect, served an important “bridging-function” to the meta-ethic of today. Though things today have morphed into results not entirely predicted by yesterday's trends.

Often these first offerings were purged of their essential psycho-cultural native soil and made to exude a certain “export quality mysticism” befitting the American fascination for neat tricks, handsome faces, and suburban rebellion. Notes Jungian author James Hillman:

In the East the spirit is rooted in the thick yellow loam of richly pathologized imagery—demons, monsters, grotesque goddesses, tortures and obscenities…But once uprooted and imported to the West it arrives debrided of its imaginal ground, dirt-free and smelling of sandalwood!”  (Re-visioning Psychology, p. 67)

Debriding the hidden forces has served Western capitalism’s great genius for manufacturing. Essence, it concluded correctly, would be hell for mass production because, by its very nature, it is intangible, unknown, and unseen. Form, on the other hand, required only ingenuity, engineering, and due dilligence. Form works wonderfully well in studios, laboratories, factories, ad campaigns, and academic institutions, especially when there is sufficient incentive.  If it looks the part, it can play the part, capitalism reasons, though toxic Janey-dolls and tainted cans of Chinese dog giblets have recently thrown this assumption back on itself. 

In the emerging Meta Age of today, former "One Way" stalwarts like General Motors, Major League Baseball, and Jesse Jackson, have lost “fan base” of new generations due mostly to the blue and mangled extremities they’ve suffered from years of shooting themselves in the foot. Today’s “market-tested spirituality,” much like yogurt sections in the supermarket and American teenage "theme-camps," favors high variety, mix-and-match “menu-selectivity,” and bright-colored wrappings; towards these ends, it has added a vibrant array of spiritual nuance to 21st century yearnings. By contrast, when Mark Twain joked slightly more than a century ago “Give me heaven for the climate, hell for the company”— today one rightly asks, “Why stop at two?”

COMBINATION GODS

Today it appears like there actually is "something new under the sun." With hardly a giggle, postmodernists are free to express, espouse, even “invent” (construct) unique identities from purely blended, “integrationist” platforms. Old barriers between system, style, and semantic have melted away when redefining precisely who we are in the service of this new breed of postmodern pantheism. Philosophically, for instance, one may now fashion oneself as ‘Qabromanterian’ (Qabalistically-inspired Romantic Presbyterian), ‘Gaysuflåtonist’ (Homosexual Sufi Platonist), or even, ‘Blastro-Fartographer’ (Blind Astro-Cartographer with gas) that is, if one wishes to. That is the key.

No longer must we adhere to native birth identity for defining Who we are, How we recreate, and What we believe, as the new ethic now tugs at our sleeve, insisting—“For heaven’s sake dude, why NOT go ‘Pastafarian’ (Italian Rastafarian),or even blinking ‘Squeajewnaut’ (Squeamish Jewish Astronaut)?” After all, this is the age of blending forms.  Such are the new 21st century gurus. Should one still have zero interest in upgrading "soul brand" or blending belief, he or she may simply remain, hopelessly, as they say,  ‘Sub-Reptile’ (Subdued Republican Gentile), and be satisfied in doing so.

Strict lines that formerly demarcated the “nomenclature of belief” now blur like vegetarian catfish soup.  “Blending gurus,” once unheard of in the monotheistic fatherland, has become a liberating exercise in the making of selfhood that now paves the way to the Holy Grail of the Meta Age—“designer consciousness.” It's new motto, of course: “If you can slice it, you can dice it!”

Yet the phenomena is not without precedence. Decades ago the zany American political arena began to slice-and-dice the “demographics of subcategory” ala Pro-Choice Rockefeller Republicans, Southern White Reagan Democrats, and, of course, Libertarian-leaning World Wrestling Federation Independents. Certainly, the once pithy 60s slogan “Do your own thing” never quite imagined we would evolve to the spiritual equivalent of "fifty-seven channels and nothing's on."

Sociologically, for example, the singles dating landscape has made a high art form of what may be termed: ‘entitled particularity’—e.g. “Extremely short and freckled white pagan harpsichordist looking for same in a mate.” Cable television has given our once “unprogrammed” imaginations the market-researched fodder of agnostic entertainment executives on a short leash.  We look for guidance from image-makers finger-painting from the temples of Hollywood over shooters and age demographics. Imagination, oddly, has become the single most coveted port of entry in the postmodern free market.

Science and technology do their parts as well.  New generation biopharm researchers now labor feverishly for ever more target-intensive/symptom-differentiated concoctions—ala “relieves upper-left shoulder morning pain in pollen allergic forklift operators.” Specificity is the new gold standard, “made to order” and “right for ME” it’s soft mantras. If unable to extract the grail of “designer consciousness,” the new science of neurochemistry proudly extols the next best thing: “designer drugs.” Indeed, as the general boundaries of worldly existence have been cast, the emerging frontier now sizzles in search of the specific and the special “high” (“a relative emotional response with respect to baseline perception of subject”  it notes in the fine print disclaimer).

BROAD STROKE INTEGRATIONISTS

Technically-speaking, Tabugians are neither specialists nor “particularists” despite their blended zeitgeist (or just maybe, because of it!). Rather, they are “broad stroke” integrationists, and look primarily  to the essentials, not the specifics, for direction.  All three Tabugian legs--Tarot, Buddhism, and Jungian Psychology-- dig down beneath the superficia of difference to expose the wellspring of sameness. Perennial philosophers call it ‘Universal Consciousness’ but the C word is loaded with allusion and hard to pin down.  It's not that Tabugians don't care about Katie Holmes or CSI Miami etc. in a sour disapproving modes particularly—to the contrary, we simply observe “It” with a passing glance as part-and-parcel of “reality” and then we try to get refocused on other ways of dealing (see IDEAS articles, “Reality; & Reality 2.0).  Nonetheless, “we” (and I use this term editorially, as to date, there is actually only one official Tabugian on the planet, as far as we know, and I'm damn proud of it too!) regard the current trend towards differentiation and specialization as dubious, delusional, and flawed.

THE GERUNDS OF EXPERIENCE

But why? Doesn't greater differentiation generate more possibilities to play with?

The answer is simple: yes & no. The new ethic dabbles in proliferating the “subnouns of reality," not in transforming the “gerunds of experience.”  Specialization, upon closer inspection, is about differentiating the content of reality, not advancing the process; specialization inspires a widget world of pre-form thingness, but it misses the essential penetration, activation and transformation of human awareness and experience.  Particularizing is simply an apparatus to slice-and-dice the known, changing apples to applesauce, mangos to chutney.  Essentials, critically, are not really touched in the process.

Without question, particularizing has tremendous short-lived appeal; hybrid possibilities of ‘garbage in’ can now generate new and improved combinations of ‘garbage out’. After all, high technology (to its credit) makes garbage-collecting extremely efficient, attractive,and profitable, vacuum-packing STUFF into snappy, polymerized containers at a quarter of the cost. Yet, in the final analysis, it IS “nothing new under the sun” thinking (like deja vu)“all over again!”  Don’t believe me? Try punching the words “new and improved” or “totally original” into your search engine and jot down everything you get…

The problem is the world is awash in recycled garbage and it doesn’t look, feel, stack, or smell very pretty. Re-wrapped and aerosoled solutions are not sufficient to transform what we call the “intractables” that plague the human condition and its brave new world—violence, poverty, narcissism, gridlock on the 405 etc.  The Buddhists reduce such intractables to their root causes: hatred, greed, and delusion.  And likewise Tabugians cry out for real change: “We don’t need no stinkin’ chutney!” they shout, believing boldly that YES indeed there can be something new under the sun, “process-wise” on planet E. 

 BOTTOM LINE

For a truly new creation to grow wings, for an apple to become an orange, for a person to become an individual, an individual to become enlightened, a society to generate well-being, and a globe to be transformed, a magician’s touch of true creativity is required. The basic meta-ingredients of essential wisdom must be skillfully aged to perfection, blended, and properly cooked, not merely sliced, diced, and repackaged. Under such conditions, something truly fresh, nutritious, and original will likely emerge. This is real transformation. This is qualitative change. This is what Tabugians ultimately seek.
