"Defenestration is the act of throwing someone or something out of a window. The term was coined around the time of an incident in a Prague Castle in the year of 1618. The word comes from the Latin de (from; out of) and fenestra (window or opening). Although defenestrations can be fatal due to the height of the window through which a person is thrown, or lacerations from broken glass, the act of defenestration need not carry the intent or result of death." - wiki Mulatu Astatke & [...]

The fact there is massive social repression that has an enormous effect on desiring-production in no way vitiates our principle: desire produces reality, or stated another way, desiring-production is one and the same thing as social production. It is not possible to attribute a special form of existence to desire, a mental or psychic reality that is presumably different from the material reality of social production. - Deleuze and Guattari.

This is a bizarre end to a bizarre life, made all the more bizarre by the fact that Jackson, who was unlike anyone else in so many ways, made his name performing music that convinced everyone else that he was like them in so many ways. His best songs tapped into universal emotions: jealousy, lust, anger, confusion, and, frequently at first and less often as he aged, joy. There was abiding hope that he would one day return with a record worthy of his talents, and though in recent years it seemed unlikely, he specialized in the unlikely. Everyone knows [...]

"I wish you wouldn't keep appearing and vanishing so suddenly: you make one quite giddy." "All right," said the Cat; and this time it vanished quite slowy, beginning with the end of the tail, and ending with the grin, which remained some time after the rest of it had gone. "Well! I've often seen a cat without a grin," thought Alice; "but a grin without a cat! It's the most curious thing I ever saw in all my life!" (Lewis Carroll, "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland", 58) 1.

There was to be a fourth thing, but as yet he knew nothing of it. The affair with Agnieszka bothered him not because he felt guilty about Basia, his wife—though he did feel guilty—but because Agnieszka’s poetry was notorious for its candor and explicitness. Every year produced a new slim volume in which the slimness was inversely proportionate to the indiscretion. Piotr wrote poetry himself, less prolifically and more guardedly. He had written poems about his affair with Agnieszka, but his way with pathetic fallacy meant that even Basia could read them without guessing their true provenance. The [...]
