Tim Barrus, New York Times
I am a communist. It’s the shunning that is deadly stuff. Example: Shame over HIV in a small community leads kinda fast to the forbidden, gay anal sex idea (run for your life) not unlike a photographic imprint wrapped around your head with a road map on your face. Just…

Tim Barrus: The Dark In Dirt Bike Town
Photos with too much light blind me. The white escapes. It feels like an adventure film is pushing me aside to disappear from existence with a snap. I seek something darker to look at. And I seek to make all darkness my default. Just going about my stupid day. Taking…

Tim Barrus: Religion is One Ominous Thing. Truth Is An Ominous Thing. My Truth Is Nothing You Can Know. Why Are You Here.
I have never embraced the Anthro-Rhetoric that would have us in some kind of odd thrall with the cultural power of the myth. The fairy tales are not our future. The fairy tales are always our future. Governments of Homo sapiens have brought us divisions we supposedly can live with,…
