One day a friend told me "you should be a hacker."
I went on Yahoo! and typed in "what is hacker."

oops ;)

#OriginStories

I just remembered how I used to meticulously cut the Ellesse and Lacoste logos off the polo shirts that my mother bought for me when I was about 10 years old with nail scissors.

Later on in my puberty I imagined that a supervillain found them and that was how the counterfeit market for brand clothes was born.

In middle school I was translating Bowies “Five Years” in English class. I remember getting stuck on “A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest / and a queer threw up at the sight of that.”

I’d never heard the word “queer” and the political relevance of the cop and the priest was mostly lost on me. After consulting a dictionary on “queer” I went with a slightly derogatory word for cross dresser; unable to shake the feeling that something was lost in translation.

33 years ago today, Keith Haring shared his completed campus mural to our community as part of the second annual AIDS Awareness Day. The event, which has evolved into #WorldAIDSDay and #DayWithoutArt, carries a special meaning at ArtCenter —
"December 1 has been designated a national day of action and mourning in response to the AIDS crisis. It is the second annual AIDS Awareness Day sponsored by the World Health Organization.

I've been fascinated with #OriginStories since childhood.

Growing up, I was very fortunate to have had access to 3 very well stocked libraries nearby, which had quite the eclectic collection amongst them. Including #FairyTales and #mythologies from around the world.

But I had never read our own #tribal #OriginStories. #Vedic & #Puranic stories yes.

Imagine my joy when I happened upon this book on #Gondi #legends of Central India in #NewArrivals @ #NationalBookTrust.

Long ago, in a comic book universe far, far away the devs of City of Heroes implemented a global chat. Players could chat to other servers. Phantasmagician was my "Dr. Fate" inspired character and became my global handle. At some point it became my name everywhere else. #Originstories
