La femme est sous le signe de la lune, ce reflet, cet astre mort, et c’est pourquoi plus la femme enfante, plus elle engendre la mort. Plutôt que de la génération, la mère est le symbole de la destruction, et quelle est celle qui ne préférerait tuer et dévorer ses enfants, si elle était sûre par là de s’attacher le mâle, de le garder, de s’en compénétrer, de l’absorber par en bas, de le digérer, de le faire macérer en elle, réduit à l’état de fœtus et de le porter ainsi toute sa vie dans son sein? Car c’est à ça qu’aboutit cette immense machinerie de l’amour, à l’absorption, à la résorption du mâle.

Woman is under the sign of the moon – that reflection, that dead star – which is why the more woman gives birth, the more she engenders death. The mother is the symbol of destruction rather than generation; who among them would not rather kill and eat her children, if she was sure thereby to attach herself to the male, to keep hold of him, enter into him, absorb him from beneath, digest him, keep him chewed up inside her, reduced to the state of a foetus and carried for the rest of her life inside her breast? For that is where this whole immense machinery of love leads: to absorption, the reabsorption of the male.

écriture démotique, animée du cinéma qui s’adresse à la foule impatiente des illettrés, les journaux qui ignorent la grammaire et la syntaxe pour mieux frapper l’œil avec les placards typographiques des annonces, les prix pleins de sensibilité sous une cravate dans une vitrine, les affiches multicolores et les lettres gigantesques qui étaient les architectures hybrides des villes et qui enjambent les rues, les nouvelles constellations électriques qui montent chaque soir au ciel, l’abécédaire des fumées dans le vent du matin.

demotic writing, animated by the cinema which addresses itself to the impatient crowd of illiterates, the newspapers which ignore grammar and syntax the better to catch the eye with typographic news placards, the prices full of sensitivity under a tie in a window, the multicoloured posters and gigantic letters which are the hybrid architecture of the cities and which straddle the streets, the new electric constellations which appear in the sky every evening, the abecedarium of fumes in the morning wind.

Il connaissait les maisons par leur numéro, les montagnes par leur altitude, les enfants par leur date de naissance, les bateaux par leur nom, les femmes par leurs amants, les hommes par leurs défauts, les animaux par leurs qualités, les plantes par leurs vertus, les étoiles par leur influence.

He knew houses by their number, mountains by their altitude, children by their date of birth, boats by their name, women by their lovers, men by their flaws, animals by their qualities, plants by their virtues, stars by their influence.

Kim was born in 2666 on Gethen, a planet much freer than this one. Landing here on Earth was hard, as there is so much yet to change, so much at the edges of the horizon yet to be brought into the center, so much “I” yet to be fluidified. Kim studies witchcraft with Starhawk, as well as how sedentarization is the cause of our current mess.

du wirst mein erster und letzter Goof sein

you’ll be my first and last goof.

Wollte ein Karussell neben dem Bordell eröffnen, aber das Motto KOTZEN STATT FOTZEN kam nicht so gut an

Tried to open a circus next to a brothel, but the motto CUNNING STUNTS NOT STUNNING CUNTS didn’t go down well.
