read the things they write
ask their go-to movies
observe the way they treat their pets
check out the songs they listen to
ask them if they prefer tea or coffee
converse with them under the stars
do they like summer over winter?
observe how they act when they’re mad
do they sleep with lights off or on?
when they watch the skies, do they observe the moon or the stars first?
would they rather eat alone?
how do they treat those who are ‘inferior’ to them?
the way they approach strangers when they’re lost
if they like texting better than calling
how they act when they’re scared
if they like rewriting their notes for an exam
during what situation do their eyes shine the brightest?
the things they say when they’re partly intoxicated
how they act when they’re alone and with their friends
how they look at the people they love
what is their most favorite thing about themselves?
I love girls who are proud and uninhibited about their intelligence and will brag about their accomplishments and take no shit from pretentious boys who look down on women in their field. girls who are outspoken and a bit arrogant and ambitious in a world where we are told that we must hide our intellect and to always put the needs of others (i.e. men) in front of our own are amazing
Patricia Cronin, Monument to a Marriage (installed at Woodlawn Cemetery, Bronx, NY), 2006
In Monument to a Marriage, Patricia Cronin disrupts the cemetery. Installed ‘for eternity’ in New York’s necropolis, Cronin and her partner lie entwined upon a modern mattress among the memorials to the partners in and products of state sanctioned heterosexuality. By taking anticipatory revenge, Cronin out-manouevres the reality that she and her partner, Deborah Kass, could not be recognized as a family in the eyes of the American state at the time the work was made. “If I can’t have it in life,” says Cronin, “I’m going to have it in death.”
