Portrait of friend and artist, Jude Scheidt
I was left to draw after the party hence the horrid anatomy.
The morning Shasta left for Portugal, I stole her bike. Then ate breakfast at the cafe she'd shown me in Little Italy. This is for you girl! ;)
Jude's friend shared this idiom with me today. He said it was second wave feminist slogan from the 70s. He felt that this was a bad comparison, that the distance was too exagerated. I suggested that the feminists who coined the phrase were looking at gender as a binary. "There is no gender" is a flawed statement because it invalidates the transgendered. blah, blah, gender spectrum! I like the imagery regardless.

"Grind salt, and grind both good and fast."
Well, the quern began to grind salt so that it poured out like water; and when the skipper had got the ship full, he wished to stop the quern, but whichever way he turned it, and however much he tried, it was no good; the quern kept grinding on, and the heap of salt grew higher and higher, and at last down sunk the ship.
There lies the quern at the bottom of the sea, and grinds away at this very day, and that's why the sea is salt.
