sometimes sitting through a three-hour terrorism lecture can be a little bit too much for our young, attention-deficit brains. we make it interesting when we can.
generally, in classes with kristina, my notes don’t end up being very useful come exam time. this seems to have been passed on to simon, who is at least taking notes at all.
The Jesslyn Notes
It appears that Jesslyn has begun to keep a file on me. This does not concern me.
The empty grotto sits there still
Its walls are wearing thin;
Faded windows secrets keep;
the Jesslyn Fiend within.
Jesslyn was an anarcho-terrorist in the early 20th Century. She could not defeat the system, but was herself subsumed within it.
Jesslyn was a little-known poet of the Beat era. Her writings appear today on the hinges of doors.
Mass circulation of newspapers allowed Jesslyn to spread the Word of Jesslyn to new audiences.
The Jesslyn Files was the code-name for an anonymously published collection of recipes for deadly weapons and explosives. It was widely circulated over less-than-reputable internet sites.
Jesslyn invented dynamite in, I think, 1863.
Jesslyn society is interesting, because it is a society that is grappling with the challenge of modernization.
Jesslyn developed a way to take colour photographs by combining red, blue and green inks. She used this method to capture images of pre-revolutionary Russia.
Jesslyn was the bass-guitarist of an indie-punk band called Baby as Long as My Leg, which played the Dundas club scene between 1984 and 1984 and a half.
Jesslyn has written, then deleted a hyphen. What can we make of this? It is difficult to be certain, and scholars will no-doubt debate this issue for decades.
The Nihilists initially developed out of the First Anti-Jesslyn League, which existed circa 1900. They opposed order, security, ancient ways of living, and Jesslyn.
I speak of what I do not know,
For I was not too old;
But I’ve heard whispers, soft and low
And this is what they’ve told.
It was a dark and fearful night
The shadows loomed and leered;
When (so they’ve told me, sick with fright) -
The Jesslyn Fiend appeared.
Michael Bakunin (1814-1876) believed that Jesslyn could be a creative idea. He met with Karl Marx and other revolutionaries of the time, and is often considered the most influential organizer of the First Jesslyn Revolution.
There was a debate over the meaning of Marxism. Should there be socialism with liberty, or socialism with Jesslyn?
It has been argued that Jesslyn’s primary element is style. Thus, to perceive Jesslyn, one must first understand that Jesslyn provides gummy bears. This is the theory proposed by Messrs. Strunk and White in their seminal work. However, this view is attacked in many of the works of Hegel and his student, Heidegger, who claim that the modern man cannot perceive Jesslyn without first denying his own existence.
Jesslyn was tried publicly for her attempted murder of the military governor of St. Petersburg. She was acquitted, in a public signal that popular opinion was beginning to widely embrace Jesslynism. After her acquittal, she fled to Toronto, but found the political climate far too Simonic. She eventually settled in Shit-Town, just outside the city.
Jesslyn has drained the batteries of my computer, to prevent further observations and also to provide nourishment to her larvae, who will soon pupate into Jesslings.
YOUR HEAD A SPLODE.
Jesslyn has never told anyone that four plus four equals eight.
