Ten Things I Learned from JD Sampson

1. Always Steal the advantage. If someone is going to call you a whore, call yourself a whore first and win the battle (Strangers with Candy: There Once was a Blank from Nantucket)
2. Art is a Business these days, so you fill a market niche, and if you are going to be pigeonholed, make sure it’s something you like
3. Rainbow RV
4. Follow your Dreams - even if that means running topless on the beach and pretending to be a lifeguard. Subsequent to this; The Secret, weird but keeping it posi works
5. Get off the Internet (I’ll Meet you in the Street)
6. Feminism as a term was considered out of style in the past decade, and in relation to my earlier writing is undergoing a positive change in semantics to allow it to be part of the terminology surrounding those ideas and practices
7. The creation of a persona can have positive implications for giving a figurehead to disparate alliances to rally around
8. Utopias might only be albe to exist for the group, class, or community that is the dominant force in the given society, maybe it’s too hard to escape pressures and have harmony
9. Catherine Opie- Dyke Deck , Dyke Action Machine , Larry Kramer - Tragedy of Today’s Gays
10. Find your crew, Get your team to address the issues, Have fun
