Dear People.
Perspective:
Of course all lives matter, which is sadly, historically, irrelevant because
BLACK LIVES DO NOT MATTER IN OUR WORLD.
Ergo "BLACK LIVES MATTER" because they haven't and they don't.
Tragically, sadly, practically, street-wise - white lives matter.
Effective clue: I am not profiled + + + + +
Myths-Structures of class - white 'race' superiority - economics have plagued the world for centuries.
THE DEHUMANIZATION OF THE OTHER.
Nasty murderous shit flows-on...
Intentionally or Not and promulgated by media-individuals-groups-church-state-tech-capitalism-art-'history' + + +
And by the beside-the-point: ALL LIVES MATTER.
THEY DON'T.
ALL LIVES MATTER lacks perspective-confuses folks-Disrespects The Black Experience +++ and rationalizes more evil acts.
Effective clue:
Can you stand in front of any black person and tell her that all lives matter.
When all lives are actually equal - perhaps all lives will actually matter.
Os, Bill

Debts - ancient through to contemporary Debts.
From the horrific plague of
world-euro-usa class-'race' econ-white-supremacy+...
Debts - Always Paid By Some Of Us - The 99%.
Everyday. Everywhere.
Sewings. Reapings.

For most people on our planet living day to day, on very little to nothing - This is reality.
I was born in 1938, to white privilege, in California, on the very edge of reality.
Luckily for me my mother evolved = humanist commonist socialist egalitarian.
Black Lives Mattered in our house.
Money was only a means to do good, we had enough.
But did-we, could-we, can-we really comprehend our privilege and entitlement.
Today classist-racist-global-neoliberal-capitalism is forcing realities on most of us.
Will we evolve.

Nobody but cool friendly freaks

TRUCKIN'... Adventure Pain Fun

Funny fun for me Dan (stuff related to sales) but I'm no under-covers buried-jewels guy
The offering of my pictures for sale has always been out-there announced very-public
Since 1970 Reese-Palley John-Bill-MoMA Fraenkel Fischer website flickr fb bla bla museums shows
Me some family n friends might just be way off on the my-picture-poignancy thing
I can't accept sales to humans as judgement
Should I pray for a more definitive smoke-signal
No-daily-bling So what
Thanks for your support time vision energy intelligence efforts+++

Ahaaaa it's been a year since I did my bad
For the record of mini-fiascos with bright-lining:
For the record of mini-fiascos with bright-lining:
In May 2015 I dumbassedly pushed the wrong button
And disappeared all my picture files from Lightroom 5
And disappeared all my picture files from Lightroom 5
I believed I was just tidyingup emptyingout doodoo
I began salvage-adventure after anguish
Found stuff in my Mac & hard-drive
Went to Wai and his indy M.A.C. Berkeley team
Came home with 3,751 files - in various states
XsOs! (as usual)
Half were 'real' usable files and half were 'facades'
I only realize which pictures I lost when they show up in some other context
After 7 months of editing and tweaking over n over ...
I uploaded 900+ pictures to Flickr
And Nick & I redid my website pictures
I am so lucky I was forced to edit over n over n over ...
Thank The Spirits

Folks who truck n grind are planet-everywhere mostly out-there we don't see stuff
You and your partners truck n share

My fucking grandfather was classics prof skull n bones yalester 17 fam stones in their graveyard
My mom was vassar '35 pinko stunted Doctor = family yale MD, "No Edith." Woman diss-encouraged
I unlearned and deconstructed with her help
Dear Michael
I cross folks' minds because I mailed my pictures to John as to 100s of others
He told me to KEEP ON TRUCKIN'... in '71 2 +
I then learned 'who/what he was' my UCBerkeley art friend Bill Burback was his intern
John made grants possible I did my evolving-me thing
He probably wondered what he had enabled
I'm good being outside I do internet sharing out here n there

Facebook exchange:
me: I don't know what I will do yet...Sanders to wherever-whatever? clinton-trump?
We have the only person in our history to big-stage-challenge for a Civilized usa
With no indication we'll get other than more past-decades toadie-capitalist shit-culture
We will be told lots what-to-do
JT: I will be voting with a clean conscience for the utterly corrupt neoliberal shyster.
me: from the german = "shitter"
JT: So a little like eating a Ballpark frank. Just put on some extra mustard
and try not to think about what's in there.
