"By writing about the bathhouse, Delany seeks not, he says, to 'romanticize that time into some cornucopia of sexual plenty,' but rather to break an 'absolutely sanctioned public silence' on questions of sexual practice, to reveal something that existed but had been suppressed. The point of Delany's description, indeed of his entire book, is to document the existence of those institutions in all their variety and multiplicity, to write about and thus to render historical what has hitherto been hidden from history. A metaphor of visibility as literal transparency is crucial to his project." (joan scott, 'experience')

Whoa, I'm done with my thesis! It's due the day after tomorrow. I need to write a paper on Arendt. I'm exhausted from staying up late last night at a debaucherous and very gay frat party. Hungry. Kind of incoherent, but filled with energy from the shifting light, blue skies all day thick clouds and now the slow slide of twilight. (And a beautiful hawk, cream-colored underbelly, swooping by me while I speeded up on the Taconic. Mmm, spring!)
