TracksBy Paisley Hibou QuailBellMagazine.com Four months left to kill, he whispered and held up his fingers, thumb tucked against his palm like a scared child in the dark, and I don't know how to spend my time any more than a clam knows how to fly or Big Bird knows how to grimace and groan. But I didn't know what to do or say in China, where I taught for a year, relying mainly on child-like gestures for communication, spending hours turning down dates from women eager for a tall, blond, American husband with perfect English and citizenship. Yet I thrived—or at least survived—in a foreign, foreign place, never waking up to a routine day or even water that tasted the same as it had yesterday, since, chances are, one of those days, it was contaminated by chemicals or evil spirits, maybe both. So if I can live through that kind of uncertainty, I can live through the uncertainty of ending my contract job and waiting for phone calls and interviews and coupons for a new suit that doesn't look like I bought it on sale at Salvation Army when all the blue tags were half off, maybe even 75% off-- it's only four months, man. I'll reinvent myself. #Tracks #Crossroads #Intersections #Life #LifeChanges #BuyingTime #Interviews #Jobs #GrowingUp #Adulthood

Mrs. Chatelaine Aluminum, chain, kitchen tools 120”x 36”x 24”, 2014 "In my sculptural and installation work I’m embellishing and augmenting found objects using crafting techniques to create poetic objects which are feminist social commentary, that memorialize, or simply delight. The body or body parts, bouquets, anchors, veils, tear catchers, hoop skirts, and chatelaines are forms I am working with. My materials including vintage textiles and lace, horse hair, used domestic tools, and women’s clothing and accessories are methodically chosen and resonate with the emotional residues of their past histories. Love and grief are tempered with amusement in my reconfiguring of parts. References to sewing are a constant connection to my personal history." #SusanJamison #MixedMedia #Installation #FeminineArt #Mrs.Chatelaine #Feminism The Breadcrumbs widget will appear here on the published site.

Pot in AnnapolisMaybe one day Maryland marijuana will be world renowned, sought after by bigger, richer fish than bored MoCo teenagers wondering, fearing that Mom may come home early Monday when Suzie Q and Billy, too, are crowded in the dark basement, talking about world peace and all the colors in butterfly wings. #Pot #Marijuana #MarijuanaLegalization #Maryland #MD #MarylandLaw #MarylandGeneralAssembly #StateLegislature The Breadcrumbs widget will appear here on the published site.
Redneck ChristmasBy Belle Byrd QuailBellMagazine.com C-ville told me that “happiness is a high power bill,” so I took no notice of the extra $20 I paid last month to light my tree bright enough to blind the deadest road kill. #Christmas #Xmas #Hillbilly #BlueCollar #WorkingClass #ChristmasDecorations #ChristmasLight #Christmas Cheer #Cville The Breadcrumbs widget will appear here on the published site.
Snoopers SnoopingNot only does old Santa Claus know if you're naughty or nice—the NSA does, too. Corporation after corporation has served as pickpocketing elf, from Google to Yahoo! Snowden licked his lips and blew his whistle hard or maybe he just flipped on a light, scaring the roaches and spiders into perceived crevices that all led to one massive net. One by one, Eddie counted the vermin and flicked them toward reporters, each a pet-- not the scuttling things, but the journalists, ones he preened until he felt ready to bite, fangs dripping red as he roared, “I do not want to live in a world where everything I do and say is recorded.” The picture painted of the vampiric, grandiose narcissist in blue, blue for the tears washing over his every portrait upheld as heroic by HuffPo. Traitor or martyr? Clemency or no? Forever banished to Russia? Time shall reveal what America makes of the Big Steal. #EdwardSnowden #ProtectSnowden #SnowdenHero #SnowdenTraitor #SnowdenMartyr #NSA #FourthAmendment
