Another video about unpaid labour that should never be paid. This is a new blanket for a new season of artscabbing. I’m homeless and this is a good thing because….. The home according to bell hooks is the bedrock of where we learn domination. hooks states “unlike other forms of domination, sexism directly shapes and determines relations of power in our private lives…most intimate context - home”(hooks, 1989). hooks urges that this location provides a “practical setting for feminist critique, resistance, and transformation” (hooks, 1989). Just thought I would share that connection. Also, I think I would probably identify with homefull, not homeless, because I have lots of places to stay and many homes to be homey in. Only one friend asked about my mental health and how I would sustain that through the next months of homefullness. I have to say, because of the ways things have been going (chaotic state) I hadn’t thought of that. Considering this,  I will have to choose one place for myself out of all the places I will be staying to think of in this way - stable home. I choose the community centre in vancouver. It’s brilliant and useful and even has private bathrooms. Anything to get away from paying rent after my trillionth eviction. I have to heal my heart from the eviction. Being rejected in housing landlord after landlord in favour of condo development hurts. I can only take so much rejection. Featuring music by Upside Drown. The song is called Open Palms. It was recorded in winter 2011 in Oakland, California on a 4-track.   upsidedrown.bandcamp.com/album/ep
