Dissociative Defense / Mogens Jacobsen 2006-11-03

biological, galvanic battery consisting of several hundred potatoes. When the exhibition starts, the electrical power of the potatoes drives a text censoring software system… As the potatoes begin to dry out, the suppressed words and censored sentences will gradually reappear in the text.

i’m still mostly enjoying Dykette in its similarity to books like A Touch of Jen or Woo Woo where there’s an exploration of this intentionally ridiculous social circle and main character.

however book’s idea of the lesbian experience does feel incredibly “white upper class new york” in a way that i don’t feel is entirely intentional and the further i get into it the less i can tell which parts the author wants to be ridiculous and which parts are supposed to be “relatable”

the perspective character’s views on gender and “high femme performance” come across as weirdly blind to the continued existence of misogyny and the regular gendered violence that women of all sexualities experience which can’t just be claimed as camp femme culture—actually hang on i just discovered how much of the book’s takes are the author’s real opinions……….i did not realize this was just fully autofiction………………girl………
