In the public park in front of Varia, with Seecum and Michelle. We felt sort of anxious about attending the large public protest in solidarity with BLM. We weren't sure about the politics of a massive gathering the pandemic. Am also just feeling anxious about being around people. But we wanted to join the protest somehow and pay our respects to George Floyd.

Thoughts of the day, carrying over from yesterday's audio notes: SPINELESS PUBLICATIONS.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++

In order to free the archive or library or publication (conceived often, in this place, as an archival labor) from its restrictive bodily limitations, one must understand the limbs, organs, system, or senses that make up its entirety. And understand what happens when one limb or organ or system or sense disappears. The other(s) work(s) harder. When the book has no spine, there is increased mobility in the innards, the guts work harder. When the system has no mandatory command flow, no closed menu options except for an initial suggestion of navigation, a map of cardinal points that may be ignored... how do the other systems work harder/better? Because they must, and they do. What other senses/systems/limbs are discovered when a supposedly fundamental body part is lost?

The parts of the body public I am considering: The face (la cara, cover). Circulation. Guts. Spine. Foot(notes, -ers).
There are others, but for now these are the parts I have been considering. It's maybe been a year or two. Perhaps longer if you count the time I was thinking just about circulation, in humourous and architectural and urbane terms. And I'm not entirely sure if it's "correct" to fleshify this question. Flesh is, nonetheless, my response to this haptic crisis. 

To be unbound, spineless. The index or the table of contents is merely an initial formation, a suggested navigation. It is not a prescriptive order with a punitive end. "You must, or else." The order is left in the hands of the reader or visitor or owner. Mess, restructuring, disrespect to the initial intention. How can the author, collator, orderer let go of the need to insist upon an order, despite offering it for those who need initial points for triangulation? The writer must conceive of a textual object without a spine. 

To be the spine is to fulfill secretarial functions. To connect and hold. To be small articles, pronouns and connectors in a sentence clause (the a but I you and etc), often endlessly. The nouns and the verbs, they are the large bones that get credit for work (or enjoy leisure of play) that without vertebrae would be impossible. To file, to send messages to all those involved, to collate information in a single place. To do the diligence that is so often framed as menial. How to be of spinal value and come to terms (or not) with invisibility, with dwelling in the substrate, beneath the membrane. How to make peace with the responsibility of the spinal function, that of holding limbs and organs, that of being supple, that of holding the head that droops. If the head initiates, the spine doesn't just hold, it coordinates and organizes. The spine is an administrative function. The spine is the secretary, sending information throughout the body. If the secretary is severed, unassisted mobility is impossible, the mind is trapped within a body that doesn't listen. Liberated as well, but only if an extra-spinal system of mobility is afforded.
 

Mission for the day night tomorrow if possible: Reprint 5 copies of the reader and redistribute them to 5 neighbors. Recirculate.
