The online fonds |
While completing my graduate degree in archival studies, I felt an urge to collect my personal online fonds for the curious. In essence, everything I post here is imbued with meaning for me. You are what you consume; what is past is prologue, etc. I can be reached at attemptress (at) gmail dot com. |

Notes"From the postmodernist perspective, every discourse, every text, every document, ever artifact, is just one representation of reality; one narrative among many, and inevitably, on constructed by the most powerful elements in society. Nothing is neutral and nothing is objective."Joseph Deodato, “Becoming Responsible Mediators: The Application of Postmodern Perspectives to Archival Arrangement and Description” (via thefriendlyarchivist)

Notes"In relation to a film, a museum essentially needs to preserve, show and interpret not just an object/artefact, but a system, more specifically a working system. The term “object” and “artefact” fall short in relation to what film is, because they only refer to one element of the film equation (the film strip). It is a necessary element for creating the film experience…but it is certainly not identical with it. The term film experience, on the other hand, is not a sensible replacement term either. An experience is something individual; too much of it resides in the unattainable world of the viewer. A museum cannot “preserve” something which, to a high degree, is outside its influence. It can only establish the conditions for a film experience to take place. A further conceptual step brings us closer to what we’re searching for: The film experience is enabled by a performance of a film – the act of putting the “time-less” film-object/artefact into a machine which…produces the phenomenon we call film."Alexander Horwath (in Film Curatorship: Archives, Museums and the Digital Marketplace)

Notes"If I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give away all my possessions, and if I hand over my body so that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. But as for prophecies, they will come to an end; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will come to an end. For we know only in part, and we prophesy only in part; but when the complete comes, the partial will come to an end. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became an adult, I put an end to childish ways. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then we will see face to face. Now I know only in part; then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known. And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love."(via mesmerizing-adventures)

This is the body I’m striving for. Healthy, toned, but still curvy and bloody gorgeous.

because I’m helping create the line up for a music festival next year, I find this extra special hilarious now, beyond the chuckles I got when I first saw this months ago.

I think this meme is trying to tell me about my displacement issues. I can’t help it if I love NYC more than I’ll love any woman.

I only did this because the nearest book to me was a Jeanette Winterson. And she never fails me:
‘I am a woman who does not repent.’
“All that you say, my dear Scogan,” he began, “is certainly very just, very true.”
“There weekly arrive in this town scores of green Vermonters and New Hampshire men, all athirst for gain and glory in the fishery.”
Man that’s fucking funny.
