OMG Camille , I love your crazy mind. So many times I find myself thinking and talking about my dreams. I don't know a lot of people that do that. I love how you explain that your mind is "boiling" thoughts. You are an inspiration.
Blond Thought indeed. I don't agree with everything in it - she underrates John Milton, IMO, and she doesn't like Chaucer. But otherwise, a brilliant, a strong book.
She is the only person that should and deserves to have her consciousness transfered to some immortal high tech vehicle, so she could just carry on spanking our asses and keep schooling us. A brilliant person!
Her preference for writing longhand, one I share for the initial processes, is likely also due to the hand-brain machinations. Using one hand keeps us in the writer's mind while using both, in my experience, adds a new more editorial perspective by utilizing the other half of our brain.
If it is "cathartic" to you then you're in a heap of trouble as a writer because a master sharing her skill and technique should feel anything *but* cathartic. It should exactly be inspiring and motivational if you share the aspiration of writing, especially when you identify with her visions and creative mind! Please visit your local theatre henceforth for a good, vivid and empassioned play to quench your need for catharsis if you are serious about striving to become of any real cultural importance and impact as *that* is an appropriate place where one ought to look for such an experience!
falling in love with her again. had to age a bit to really appreciate. i was thrown off by the pederasty thing and paid little attention for a while. i love how she calls it "cooking". we've always called it that, too. in the kitchen. you know. sometimes you have to observe someone being truly intellectually and emotionally authentic to be reminded that it is both possible, and worth pursuing. i was Sad Girl for so long.
CP writing drafts in longhand, oldstyle, made my eyes pop out! Odd how alien that already seems to me now- despite the acres of it I did previously. I now suppose that when I write on my laptop I still feel the same... though the computer IS great for editing and honing! I do not know where would I be without that facility!
There is nobody like her. The biggest influence of my life.
I love that she explains the importance of pencil on paper. The tactile experience is integral to our being

CP just cracks me up. So straight, no bullshit. Truly an awakened being.
Do NOT shorten her name dude
Word. "Sexual Personae" is one hellaciously written book. A must, must, must read.
Blond Thought indeed. I don't agree with everything in it - she underrates John Milton, IMO, and she doesn't like Chaucer. But otherwise, a brilliant, a strong book.
She is so passionate in her thinking that she is bound to be controversial to anyone who reads her. I love that.
I loved it. I want to read it again
I never would have realized how much can go into the craft of writing. This has been quite valuable to watch.
A total original. No one writes like her.
She is the only person that should and deserves to have her consciousness transfered to some immortal high tech vehicle, so she could just carry on spanking our asses and keep schooling us. A brilliant person!
check out U.G. Krishnamurti, different field similar attitude ok

Paglia is so rockin' awesome!

one of our greatest educators!
Went in to the biggest book store in Dublin to buy a Paglia book and there was NOTHING by this great author, original thinker, national treasure.
A trip to the bookstore is utterly disappointing, these days.
Oh Camille, I love and adore you. I learned so much from reading your writings in the "90s.
i would adore taking writing cpurse by camille
Reading Sexual Personae is like fighting Mike Tyson and Bruce Lee incarnated in the same body.
Yes! Relationship with the words and paper. Returning to longhand myself.
If the world had more women like her there would be more female geniuses
And more teachers like her.
To see her talk about writing is oddly cathartic for me as an aspiring academic and advocate for the synthetic process of assimilating information.
+John H. I too would like to start writing again, about her work especially.

I adore her scholarship. She's fan-f*ing-tastic.
Okay
"Sexual personae" is quite a dense book 😂😂😂 intellectually stimulating her work is a must read . Her pen has changed lives 😊😊
The Dionysian is no picnic!
yyyyyes. oh Camille.
I adore her!!
Elon musk in the thumbnail!
Gotta love the woman. Camille Machine Gun Paglia.
I love her.
She is....
Paglia got some GOOD drugs.
Sober as a judge.
"If women were running the world we'd still be living in grass huts." Yeah, Camille---if only! Nobody's better at romanticising fascism.
