Luckily that wasn’t to happen, but the smoke was hideous (as you all know) and it was really hard to breathe at times.

And All letters, art and ideas can be sent to: then last Friday, the tragic death of Ruth Bader Ginsberg - a fearless champion of The Insight Alliance gender equality and civil rights who said, “But I ask no favors for my sex. I PO Box 820214 surrender not our claim to equality. All I ask of our brethren is that they take their Portland, OR 97282 feet off our necks." This quote is originally from Sarah Grimke who was a strong advocate of the abolition of slavery and women's rights. Again, the reference to simply being allowed to breathe. And then today, I went to a body worker as my shoulders feel all contorted due to hours a day on the computer. He said everyone he has seen since lockdown is so tight in the diaphragm. He said it’s like everyone has collectively been holding their breathe. Before starting the Insight Alliance, I worked in the field of Chinese Medicine. I found myself wondering about possible connections to all these recent goings on. In Chinese Medicine all the organs have emotions connected to them. And, all organs are paired. So the lungs are paired with the large intestine. It might not seem like it, but they function similarly. They both take in and release. The lungs absorb oxygen and release CO2, the large intestines absorb nutrients and release the rest. Energetically they connect to boundaries - who/what we let in and who/what we don’t; what we say yes to and what we say no to. THE INSIGHT ALLIANCE PAGE 01 CONTINUED FROM PG 1. WITHOUT A SOUND The emotion of the lungs is grief. Some would say there is collective grief during BY CORRISSA BARNETT AT CCCF this time. Grief for those dying of COVID, grief for the people of color dying on the streets at the hands of our police, grief for all that’s lost to the fires and grief My shadow is full of thoughts for planet earth as we see the effects of climate change before us. And grief for constantly following me around the loss of our trees that give all of us our ability to breathe. and when I think I'm lost I feel like I’m being invited to pay even more attention to all that’s going on. I’m Somehow I'm always found. curious if any of you have had other thoughts or reflections on all that has been going on?

So we set up in two locations, offering food and the opportunity to register to vote. As I parked my car, ready to unload, the very first person I saw was a familiar face from CRCI!

We gave him a meal and registered him to vote! It was lovely to see We all have our spot him. like a pitcher to his mound. It was really great to meet so many people. It also makes me realize once again how we all live in our separate realities and have very different ideas about voting. We are always in motion I had the very unconscious assumption that given the opportunity to exercise ones As the earth stays perfectly round right to vote and be a part of our democracy, people would indeed want to vote. We're like tiny ants marchin' Many people had no interest in voting, saying that their vote wouldn’t matter heading towards our mound. anyway or they don’t like any of the candidates, and nothing changes. I also saw in a very real way that people require food, water, and their basic needs to be met before they might even think about voting. I realized even having the ART BY JANIE LOWE bandwidth to vote is a privilege. Having the space in my life, with all my other basic needs met, voting seems like an important right to exercise. But on the streets I totally saw how that isn’t the case for folks who are just needing a warm meal in their bellies, or to engage in a decent conversation, or to get a fix. That is much higher on the list of needs for many houseless neighbors. Even though, to me, in my reality, voting is an obligation of citizenship, something I thought we all should care about. One more personal belief that I’ve had a chance to learn more about.

  • David Lynch to Show New Works at Solo Gallery Exhibition.” Los Angeles Times
    Ng, David. “David Lynch to show new works at solo gallery exhibition.” Los Angeles Times. 14 November 2013. Web. David Lynch to show new works at solo gallery exhibition David Lynch will be opening a show this month at Kayne Griffin Corcoran. It will run Nov. 23 through Jan.4. David Lynch hasn't released a new feature since "Inland Empire" in 2006, but the director has been creating visual art and exhibiting surreal creations in gallery shows. Lynch held solo exhibitions in Los Angeles in 2009 and 2011, and will be opening yet another show this month at Kayne Griffin Corcoran. The exhibition, which is being curated by Brett Littman, executive director of the Drawing Center in New York, will focus on how Lynch uses "naming" in film, photography, drawings and other works dating from 1968 to the present. Kayne Griffin Corcoran said the show will run from Nov. 23 to Jan. 4, and will feature a group of new paintings, drawings and watercolors by Lynch. The filmmaker, whose credits include "Blue Velvet," "Mulholland Dr." and the "Twin Peaks" television series, has previously exhibited his art at William Griffin Gallery in Santa Monica. In 2009, he showed original artwork for the album "Dark Night of the Soul," featuring music by Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse, at L.A.'s Michael Kohn Gallery. Next year, Lynch's work will be the subject of a retrospective show at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia, where the director studied in his youth. The show will feature approximately 75 paintings and drawings created by Lynch since 1965.

  • CMJ Directory SPARKLEHORSE: Back in the Saddle Again Story by Colin Helms
    CMJ Directory SPARKLEHORSE: Back In The Saddle Again Story by Colin Helms With his latest, Sparklehorse mainstay Mark Linkous finds gentle beauty on the other side of pain. Five years ago, Mark Linkous nearly died. He then spent over 12 months in a wheelchair, struggling with chronic depression and a crippling reliance on painkillers, and subsequently found, or so the story goes, that he couldn't remember how to write songs anymore. This year he's found the means - credit spiritual rebirth or the blackest sense of ironic humor - to not only create his most affecting Sparklehorse recording to date, but to brazenly dub the album It's A Wonderful Life. "If I've learned nothing else, it's that I should at least try to notice one little thing every day," he offers. "Whether it's not getting eaten by a bear, or seeing a little kid smile at you on the street. Before I go to bed I say 'I'm glad I didn't wake up dead today.'" The infamous day Linkous nearly woke up dead - the aftermath of a night in a London hotel room during which too many Valium and antidepressants were consumed - may have put a damper on Sparklehorse's output in the time since, but it seems to have changed Linkous's life (and life-work) for the better. Wonderful Life's scarred and cracked sonic façade strongly resembles that of 1995's Vivadixiesub-marinetransmissionplot and 1999's Good Morning Spider, but it's a gentler, somehow lighter collection, populated by horse heads and tiger hearts, fat babies and yellow birds.

  • Identification and Characterization of Events in Social Media
    Identification and Characterization of Events in Social Media Hila Becker Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2011 c 2011 Hila Becker All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Identification and Characterization of Events in Social Media Hila Becker Millions of users share their experiences, thoughts, and interests online, through social media sites (e.g., Twitter, Flickr, YouTube). As a result, these sites host a substantial num- ber of user-contributed documents (e.g., textual messages, photographs, videos) for a wide variety of events (e.g., concerts, political demonstrations, earthquakes). In this dissertation, we present techniques for leveraging the wealth of available social media documents to iden- tify and characterize events of different types and scale. By automatically identifying and characterizing events and their associated user-contributed social media documents, we can ultimately offer substantial improvements in browsing and search quality for event content. To understand the types of events that exist in social media, we first characterize a large set of events using their associated social media documents. Specifically, we develop a taxonomy of events in social media, identify important dimensions along which they can be categorized, and determine the key distinguishing features that can be derived from their associated documents. We quantitatively examine the computed features for different cate- gories of events, and establish that significant differences can be detected across categories. Importantly, we observe differences between events and other non-event content that exists in social media. We use these observations to inform our event identification techniques.
