    Ok, Here’s My Bush

    I beg you to stop. Everything. Work. School. Trying of any kind. You hurt yourself and everyone when you try. Whereas you bless yourself and everyone when you play. In the immortal words of Charles Bukowski, carved on his gravestone—his last words to his fellow men and women— Don’t try. So here’s a video from my days on the Oceano dunes; I almost posted it when I recorded it, but I wasn’t quite ready yet. It is the sacred practice of anasyrma. Or lifting of the skirts. It’s my shock-and-awe move. May it wake you from your slumber—you gorgeous, ridiculous creature. From Claire Tiampo Savage Demeter’s grief is profound, and Baubo meets her where she is, not through words of condolement, but through aischrologia and anasyrma, Latin words for ribald humor and for lifting the skirt to display the vulva––acts which are at once fierce and comedic. Baubo resembles the dual nature of the Sheela na gig, ancient Celtic goddess figures who embodied frightening, powerful, highly sexed images, and womanly loveliness. According to archeomythologist Marija Gimbutas, Baubo is the goddess who displays her vulva in a ritual that dates back to the Neolithic, “The earliest representations of the female divinity were vulvas.” Personification of the vulva was not pornographic, but rather meant to awaken desire and a celebration and affirmation of the spirit of procreation, regeneration and connection with the forces of the unconscious. Baubo offers herself in the service of life so that Demeter may feel her own heart, lay her burden down for just that moment, and make way for the mystery of life to shine through. I don’t know that I will send newsletters anymore. I’ve said my peace. I’ve shown my bush. I’ve asked you to join our neighborhood (put your address in your bio). It’s chill bill time now. But my/our other social media may be more active now, as other housemates use it. So follow us. We are @newearthneighborhood everywhere (substack, tiktok, instagram, twitter).
