A Woman is like the Seasons.

Like a Lily that blossoms in the Spring, she is Growing, Refreshed, and Alive. She is a reminder of how beautiful Change can be.

Intense like the Summer Heat, she is full of Color, Vibrance, and Confidence —you might just Stop & Stare.

But Autumn reveals a vulnerbility. Like Fallen leaves, she’s Lost and searches for meaning. Isn’t there more to life than the Beauty she projects?

Then Winter comes and she learns to be Resilient and Strong. She waits, eager for the day she will once again chase out the cold and bring New Life again into the world.

Women are ever changing and dynamic. We do not stop growing and are constantly learning to be better versions of ourselves.

Happy International Women’s Day ❤️

I blame Jacques Derrida.

I blame Derrida for President Trump and QAnon.

Let me explain myself. Derrida is one of the leading thinkers whose writings helped develop postmodernism. He is often considered the founder of deconstruction.

To simplify, deconstruction (and post-modernism) denies that there is an absolute signifier that allows for a connection between a sign and its referent. To put it in other terms, there is no truth out there to be found and language is insufficient to describe it.

But rather than despairing about this state of things (like the existentialists of the 60’s did-remember Sartre’s book Nausea), postmodern thinkers like Derrida, Foucault, and others relished the idea because meaning could not be imposed on them by others, but rather meaning could be constructed by themselves.
Now it is interesting that those in the lines of Derrida and Foucault often constructed meaning in a progressive direction, resisting forces that sought to impose authority structures on them. But critics of deconstruction warned that it would be equally possible to construct meaning in a different direction, say a misogynist or racist direction.

Some of my academic friends might remember that probably twenty years ago, a leading deconstructionist, Paul de Man (who was at Yale when I was doing my doctoral work), was outed as a Fascist in his youth, thus in the minds of many confirming the problem with this post-modern mindset.

So what does this have to do with our President or QAnon? Well, I think most reasonable people recognize that he constructs the facts in whatever direction pleases him. I think it was KellyAnn Conway who spoke of “alternative facts.” These alternative facts often have absolutely no evidence and even have abundant evidence against it, but that does not deter people from believing him. I suspect because they want to believe him.

As for QAnon, the same is abundantly true. Biden is a pedophile? Please. There is no evidence for this (and remember PizzaGate). And don’t post memes of Biden giving grandfatherly kisses to his friends’ children.

Well, then, why is it so many Christians support our first post-modern president and give QAnon the time of day? It’s actually mind-blowing because we Christians do think there is an absolute signifier out there (God). Yes, getting at the truth is difficult and everyone has their ideological lenses, but even so that does not mean we get to construct our reality in the way we want to against the evidence. We don’t have to lock ourselves into our ideological biases but we need to expose ourselves to other interpretations and then consider which is the true understanding. If you listen to CNN turn to Fox once in a while and vice versa. When it comes to evaluating our president, listen to what he says in his speeches and on twitter.

I worry that many evangelical Christians have been conditioned against evidence and the truth when it seems to butt up against how they prefer to view reality. We can see this for instance in say those who affirm that the cosmos is only a few thousand years old. The evidence is overwhelming against this conclusion. But many people wrongly think that the Bible teaches otherwise, so they need to ignore or make up explanations of the evidence that are preposterous or, and here we are back to the mindset that accepts Trump’s misconstruals of the evidence or the conspiracy theories of QAnon.

I am not saying that everyone who supports Trump over against Biden are guilty of this kind of post-modern thinking, but I worry that many are (particularly based on some of the responses I receive on Facebook). I can think of no good reason though why anyone who is a Christian would turn to a source like QAnon to support their views.

Writing has always been the platform for me to release stress and calm myself after a bad day. And it’s one of the many things that makes me feel alive, mostly because my writer persona is a completely different person and I get to be myself. Completely away from the strings tied to reality.

Recently, I figured out there are many things that make me feel alive too. For instance, watching @ashyy_edward & @durgathani ‘s make up tutorial has brought a whole different kind of feeling alive to me. It inspires me to explore colors and been figuring out my own words to describe these colors. A whole new concept of writing indeed - that again helped me to keep the passion burning inside! @gaithry.mk ‘s posts are just so beautiful that it instantly brings a smile on my face when I come across them; knowing that little things in life bring immense happiness to one makes me feel alive ⭐️

Also, @keeracakedherface ‘s funny intake on her daily shenanigans - made me laugh, giggle in the middle of many serious situations. I connect with her stories and understand, well I am not dead inside 😆.

@sreejhanani ‘s inspirational posts sometimes make me feel alive because I tend to understand better the depth meaning of life. We are all learning, right and I’m glad there souls like her who never shy from sharing best posts! And I cannot miss @ahilla_g appreciation towards aesthetically pleasing things. Her picture makes me feel alive as it feeds my curiosity and ends up staring at them - making hundreds of stories in my head.

There are many people on social media that occasionally post kinds of stuff that bring joy to me & activates my curious minds. Unknowingly, they make me feel alive 💕

What makes you feel alive?

Common faces she wears a common make-up
Common lives live in a common way
Common hobbies and common people
We are all printed on a digital page
Duplicated lives Duplicated loves
Who duplicated the ones who duplicated us
Reading the same code watching the same scene
Who shout out loud and breaks the sky in dreams

Someone is chasing behind me
Like a shadow like a copy
Something wrong about this city
Like a nightmare like a cage

Some sell their souls
Some trade for their lives
Staggering under the light
Who will take the flight
Some chase for meaning
Some run from lies
Some can’t even find a reason why
Till the day they die

Someone is chasing behind me
Like a shadow like a copy
Something wrong about this city
Like a nightmare like a cage
Someone is watching over me
Like a spider like a crow
Something evil is happening here
Like a black hole like a curse
Someone please show me where I should go
Just don’t go left and don’t go right
I can’t find the way to leave
Like a nightmare like a cage
I can’t find the way to leave
Like a nightmare like a cage
Like a cage

KAWAII♥PATEEN Report
"Shiro-Nuri" (painted in white) artist MINORI interview & June 2014 exhibition

Minori is a Shiro-Nuri (painted in white) makeup artist who uses Japanese traditional Shiro-Nuri techniques to express nature-centered themes since 2009.
Her art is not limited to photos, she is herself a living work of art, exhibiting her Shiro-Nuri makeup as a fashion style in everyday life. She calls this style "Monshiro-Joh", which would mean "Miss Small-White" (a play of words with "Monshiro-Choh" which means Small Cabbage White butterfly).

Shiro-Nuri is a Japanese traditional makeup style, and is used by Geisha and actors of Kabuki for a very long time.

Since the Meiji era (1868-1912) the Japanese arts have been greatly influenced by the Fine Arts from the occident,
and started moving from simple handicrafts to fine arts, and lately with the new technologies Japanese arts start another transformation.
This exhibition called HYOH-BYOH is centered around the artists whose art is based on traditional Japanese detailed crafts and workmanship, and still not influenced by new technologies.

creating decorations as I desire, like a canvas.
People do get scary
I do not care about the criticism
There are clothes I want wear, and I do my make-up accordingly, so with the white painting I also wear it as a fashion.
I truly like the Gothic and the Lolita, and since those types of clothes are decorated, or should I say, the decorations are very detailed, there was a part of me which said it does not match very well with my looks.
During that time, I was not creating, but the desire to express my originality grew more and more. Thus, I started creating on my own or re-make, and I had continued to change my make-up accordingly.
When my face is white, I am able to change the decoration or create a new face like a canvas.
I brought in my favorite "nature" aspect, and gave it more originality.

I brought in my favorite "nature" aspect, and gave it more originality.

I have different mindsets on fashion photos and art photos. The fashion is based on purely for my enjoyment, but the art photos is an experiment on how much I can express on one theme of nature. And, based on that nature theme, I make my own costume or tell the photographer on how I want to shoot the photos and create something together.
It does make people scary.
The white painting. Yes, when the face is white, people tell me I look dead or it looks creepy, but other than that I do not have any problems.
I have this pure feeling of loving it, and I have a strong feeling of expressing through this white painting style, and it is the strongest thing I want to do in my life. Although others may call it creepy, I do not care much. Seeking what I want to do and finding the meaning of my life is what keeps me going despite the criticism.
This exhibition is called "HYOH-BYOH" (vast and indistinct). It is an exhibition of masterly art of selected artists who create by hand, which is analog but very detailed work.
I was invited by Ikeuchi-san, the curator who thought my make-up to be great and eye catching. Based on the theme of nature becoming visible from the inner face is the main theme. The title is "metabolism". The image I have is absorbing and releasing new things in and out of your self.
It seems there is a body mechanism of blinking without consciousness. I believe in that short moment appears the true nature within me. So, I shot with the theme of nature coming out and disappearing every time I blink my eyes.
The art works have been taken in 4 patterns.
From the top, "sun" "plants" "water" and "earth"
From the left is shown the "sleep" "awakening" "enlightenment" "death".
I am not only changing my make-up, but also my hair as well.
One of the themes is the "sun" from its "awakening" until its death.
This took us a whole day to photo shoot. Starting from the very first status of sleep, I added more make-up and finalized it. It goes same with the hair where I arrange using one whole thing on the same day and at the end, accordingly with "death", I either burn it or spray paint it.
