"... agreeing to move forward with all our contradictions intact."

"In the West, the void of not-knowing is not a fertile place, a place of stillness or potentiality. For us, it remains mostly an abyss - a place of irrationality where nothing is known for certain. In such a place there can only be darkness, chaos, and an endless descent into madness (and maybe weird new genders)."
- Riki Wilchins, Queer Theory, Gender Theory: An Instant Primer, p 42

"To clearly see discursive power at work, we need bodies at society's margins. Margins are margins because that's where the discourse begins to fray, where whatever paradigm we're in starts to lose its explanatory power and all those inconvenient exceptions begin to cause problems." (p 71)

Bit funny in the head. Possibly hypomanic. Weird combination of despair and agitation. Hard to focus. At least I'm getting things done.
