In the last few weeks I have heard a number of people and even more newscasts refer to the “recent spate” of suicides of gay teenagers. I have told at least one of them and hope to tell all of them that it is not recent, and it is not a spate, that this has been going on for a long, long time, and that the only difference between now and then is that suddenly gay people’s lives are newsworthy. Maybe this is an improvement; maybe this brief moment when gay people’s lives are suddenly visible will actually yield some kind of substantive societal change; maybe things actually are getting better.

I was wondering earlier today – maybe as I was riding the R train over the Manhattan bridge this morning (by accident) – what Slavoj Zizek thinks of vampires. I think he would have something funny or provocative or interesting to say about them. Or at least something cute. This vegetarian bit is cute, sort of:
International Festival: Taxinge Piazza (via we make money not art)
Put on my blogger shorts* this morning (afternoon) and checked out some meta-news, including this feature (?) on we make money not art on Swedish architecture/performance/whatever International Festival. IF (nice acronym, right?) has put on a number of interventions, ranging from the public space above to a perfume to a mobile dance party.
