writer s head april 30 2022 from facebook discussion on 4 28 triggered by heidi harley s report from the world of apps i just learned about this from twitter and am mesmerized just the thought makes me sweat but i kind of want to try and see how much prose i can generate in a fixed time period basically the way it works is you set a timer and start writing and if you stop for any longer than 5 seconds before the end of your timer it deletes all your words from wikipedia the most dangerous writing app is a web application for free writing that combats writer s block by deleting all progress if the user stops typing for five seconds it is targeted at creative writers who want to write first drafts without worrying about editing or formatting more posted in my life writing leave a comment the cadenza and the coda april 29 2022 morning names for today 4 29 set off by a cadenza in a mozart piano concerto that was playing when i got up just after midnight for a brief whizz break the word cadenza led me immediately to coda both musical bits coming at the end also both sounding sort of italian which in fact they once were indeed sounding very similar at their beginnings kǝd vs kod but it turns out that though their etymologies both go back to latin a cadenza is a falling or metaphorically a death and a coda is a tail 1 a tv ad help me i m in a cadenza and i can t get up 2 a

commerce on 4 25 word of the week bookchella the los angeles times festival of books first held in 1996 returned to the usc campus last weekend after a two year covid hiatus because april 22 through 24 was also the final weekend of this year s coachella music festival held 130 miles away in southern california s colorado desert someone maybe the person in charge of the times s twitter feed decided it would be cute to call the literary festival bookchella and just like that chella became the new stock a portable suffix denoting festival except it wasn t exactly just like that and watch your back latfob the music festival in the desert has a history of refusing to give up its chella without a legal fight some linguistic background first the chella in bookchella operates as a libfix liberated affix as the linguist arnold zwicky dubbed such word parts which are also known as productive bound morphemes tack chella onto the end of another word and you communicate festival for decades now stock clipped from woodstock has played a similar role read my 2013 article about x stock other well known libfixes include gate for any scandal and preneur for any independent

on bro buddies so there will be some quoted plain talk about man on man sex warning for the wary from the arena of masculinity studies some postings on this blog on male friendship and on bromances biffs and bro jobs more posted in gender and sexuality homosexuality masculinity resources leave a comment a masculinity meze face men april 27 2022 this has turned out to be quite a large meze but it s only about one idiomatic slang expression well men and masculinity come into the thing and you know what can happen then reflecting a couple days ago on my princeton days 1958 62 and the tangle of the attitudes of the all male students at the time towards among things masculinity male affiliation as systematized in a pervasive system of male bands the eating clubs of the time women homosexuals race and social class the topic is vast also deeply distressing to me personally and i suspect that i ll never manage to write about the bad parts of it in any detail note there were some stunningly good parts but in all of that i retrieved one lexical item of some sociolinguistic interest and entertainment value one slang nugget the idiomatic n1 n2 compound noun face man faceman face man a common noun frequently used among my friends which was then also deployed as a proper noun nicknaming one of our classmates a young man notable for his facial male beauty everybody had to have a nickname mine was zot for the z of my name and the cartoon anteater so we called him face man because he was a face man more posted in categorization and labeling common vs proper faces gender and

a comment meze male friendship in fiction april 25 2022 it begins in medias res i am listening to a high hype tv ad for a movie whose title i didn t catch this compelling story of male friendship will move you deeply whoa i think this is my stuff i ve gotta make a note of that url and search for a theatrical release poster or something else i can put in a posting then i realize that this is a dream and in dreamland there s no way to save notes and images on your computer i m only two hours into my sleep for the night but the related idea of fiction about male friendship i ve posted quite a lot about male friendship in the movies and tv and of course real life grips me so i get up and go to my actual computer to see what s out there i check stuff out for maybe an hour taking copious notes and saving some images and then go back to bed returning to sleep takes me no more than a minute sometimes i m back in ten seconds yes i realize that this ability is some kind of gift from nature but i ve had it strikingly since i was a teenager occasional moments of insomnia or disordered sleep are for me red flags signaling a serious problem very satisfying search report below but first the prequel to that dream more posted in fiction homosexuality masculinity music my life stories 1 comment the fruitcake and the meze april 24 2022 the fruitcake is a metaphor applied first of all here to my 4 20 posting oh joy oh rapture unforeseen a huge complex mixture of writing about joy playfulness sex story telling intertwined narrative human nature memory artistic performance purcell jeremiah clarke mendelssohn shakespeare schubert mozart my life as a child lenore barth and her family my life with ann daingerfield my life with jacques transue my despair at the evil in the world and oh christ much more all compounded together in such a way that no individual topic can easily be pulled out of the mixture like a fruitcake you then get the allusion to offensive fruit male homosexual for free and then this metaphor applied to personal identities most pointedly mine also enormously complex mixtures a fact merely hinted at my assertions in the 4 20 posting i am a prole proud of it a union guy from the age of 17 on i am also a distinguished university professor and all that other good shit and then and then and then i am in fact a giant fruitcake of identities and so are you just not the same ones what about a metaphor counterposed to the fruitcake metaphor in particular how do we characterize postings that present pretty much one thing at a time with the understanding that the postings are parts of some larger assemblage more posted in count mass language and food metaphor leave a comment bro xclamation april 23 2022 if you wanna be one of the guys you gotta talk like one of the guys the lesson of this masculinity cartoon by hartley lin in the new yorker of 4 25 5 2 being one of the boys here is fitting into what i ve called a male band a group of mutually supportive like minded and like acting bros see the section on the social organization of men in modern america in my 1 6 21 posting another 1996 superbowl moment like acting because the band monitors its members behavior and enforces the band norms which the band members see as matters of masculinity display two kinds of masculinity display a core type that i ll call negative masculinity display characterized by avoidance of anything that smacks of women or girls and a more purely conventional type positive masculinity display characterized by adhering to local norms of behavior that are simply how guys do it stuff that males pick up from other males the terminology is loosely based on negative and positive politeness see the wikipedia section on the politeness types following brown levinson green hand who s a green inexperienced ranch hand has come up short on a linguistic bit of positive masculinity in this band of ranch hands as the older hand explains to him in an avuncular way the appropriate bro xclamation there for expressing exuberance is yee haw not yahoo now if green hand had used yoo hoo he would have been off on two linguistic counts in negative masculinity yoo hoo is fairly strongly gendered for use primarily by women and in actual semantic content yoo hoo being a call not an expression of emotion more posted in books linguistics in the comics masculinity
