“To make the private into something public is an action that has terrific repercussions in the pre-invented world. The government has the job of maintaining the day to day illusion of the one tribe nation.

Thus, each public disclosure of a fragment of private reality serves as a dismantling tool against the illusion of a one tribe nation.”
― David Wojnarowicz

“229. I am writing all this down in blue ink, so as to remember that all words, not just some, are written in water.”

“Why do we write? A chorus erupts.
