Today marks the wrap on watching the entire Fassbinder filmography. It began on December 16, 2023 with Beware of the holy whore (1971) and ended with The coffee house (1970). I will miss this almost-every-Sunday Rainer-service

Jesse Meadows substack tricking me into opening my emails, forgetting what I was looking for and answering last weeks procrasti-mail instead is an appreciated bonus feature of their amazing writing

Das ist Ah­med Mo­ha­med Odo­waa. Er ist einer der beiden Männer, die den Täter von Aschaffenburg verfolgt haben, bis die Polizei ihn festnehmen konnte. Dafür bekam er Dankesschreiben, von Söder und vom Innenministerium.

Er muss Deutschland bis zum 8. Juli verlassen, sonst wird er abgeschoben.

Vier Personen sollen abgeschoben werden. Weil an Demos gegen Israels Krieg in Gaza beteiligt. Drei der Anordnungen beziehen sich auf die "deutsche Staatsraison" (die keinen rechtlichen Status hat). Zwei Betroffene sind trans. Berliner CDU (und SPD?) im strammen Gleichschritt mit Trump-Rubio.

From the gift that is M. Gessen - gift link to their essay today on the political and personal impact of denationalization. Denationalization is what is happening and has been for a while in public condemnations of trans and all non- normative people. The great whitening starts here:
Opinion | There’s a Name for What Trump Is Doing to Trans People: Denationalizing (Gift Article)
The message is that we are a threat to the nation. The subtext is that we are not of this nation.

Wondering who else here had a teenage moment of strong identification with the figure of the cyborg and how this ties into later diagnosis of chronic illness and/or feeling out of place in ones body…

The ‘can machines do creative writing’ thing is mostly a distraction from the use of the machines to go through text and images to cancel grants and put people on deportation lists

I recently wrote a text about being a stand-in undertaker at an Infocenter for death and grief, as part of @fettesans.bsky.social zine about Finale Filiale and here it is:
aka welcome back to my blog
The Stand-In Undertaker
A Dispatch from Finale Filiale It's amazing that this space exists, but I am an artist, I don't think I need to talk about death. She said, after having told me she just came from a memorial...

New addition to the microscopic archive. Spring is coming but I am unsure if I am still curious for flowers. Meanwhile…
black background and a circular image revealing a small wound viewed under the microscope. It shows pink hues of white skin and a splatter of red blood in the ridges of a finger, heavily magnified. my hand with a tiny wound on the tip of the middle finger poked by uncareful handling of nail cutting scissors. In the background a hairy leg and red satin shorts that have the same color as the speck of blood.

(yes)
a wall with different artworks hung close to each other. One by myself reads Have you ever been tired enough to blame it on yourself? yes no maybe in pink-ish Helvetica letters and a black background (from the Series gaslight, gatekeep, hope labour 2024) In the reflection of the framed print I am mirrored a postcard above reads resistance is existence in read, green and black letters on the background of a keffiyeh. Next to it hangs a work by Fette Sans' titled 'delivered (I Just Want To Connect With You)' (2024). It's a pill in a plastic sleeve next to the card displaying the title in a white object frame.

"The notion that trans people’s primary contribution to culture is to “tell our stories,” however nobly this mission is conceived, has left us open to cooptation and grift."

Neukölln's Ferat Koçak, West Germany's first-ever directly-elected Bundestag member, announcing his plans for a "collective mandate"––regular canvassing starting back up in 3 weeks, local assemblies to discuss policy, donating ~75% of his salary to local initiatives/direct aid to poor residents.

R. taking a Fassbinder mirror shot x dogsitting bliss x @sophiasuessmilch.bsky.social painting capturing all the moods
Felix smiling and lounging on a couch wearing Mayonnaise the pug as a scarf aka the puppy happily sleeping on his chest. He is smiling and looking at the phone in his outstretched arm. Behind them there is a mirror on the wall reflecting R. in the process of taking the picture. And right next to it hangs a painting my Sophia Süßmilch depicting a large and naked balloon shaped figure with spaghetti arms that fills almost the whole canvas. She is drinking wine and proudly displays a large, fleshy genital.

I did not expect to fall into a 'Elon Musk has at least 12 kids and dreams of all his (ex)wives moving into a Texas farm villa with his offspring, turning it into a literal white supremacists breeding ground' rabbit hole today, but here we are

I called it during Giuliani's inauguration, his son Andrew was born a fully formed little monstrous asshole, and he grew up to be even worse. I'm calling it now to no one's surprise: they're gonna let X Æ A-Xii press the nuke button for fun and sign Gitmo torture orders in crayon
Rudy Giuliani's inauguration, his son Andrew was so ill-behaved and spoiled SNL did a skit where Chris Farley played him Elon and his demon spawn, who's going to make Damien from The Omen look like Shirley Temple

good morning
Here's the face of someone who really wanted to go outside. Until the door opened and revealed the temperature of said outside.
A grey cat wearing a harness sits on a person's lap, who is in turn sitting on the stairs of a stairwell and taking the photo. The fur face is looking up and behind at the camera as if contemplating something. The sun is shining through a window at the end of the stairwell, that looks out to a courtyard full of bikes.

Andrea Long Chu on the moms of the far center:

We must remember that the family is one of the few openly authoritarian institutions in a liberal democracy. The liberal tradition since at least Locke has understood parenting as a natural form of authority that, while it is no model for government, is a necessary response to the state of temporary insanity known as childhood. Paul would never claim that political life should resemble family life; what she does seem to say is that if society were more like a family, then politics could be largely replaced by sensible parenting. The task is simply to enlarge the family sphere until it covers the whole republic. This is why Paul's campaign against trans people has focused on "vulnerable" children— or really, their vulnerable parents, whom a horde of quacks and activists have stripped of their natural freedom to dominate the human beings in their care. This is the critical edge: where the reactionary liberal's singleminded pursuit of freedom leads her into the breathless endorsement of authoritarian violence. When Columbia's president called in a notoriously violent counterterrorism unit of the NYPD to raid the student encampments, Paul praised her for acting like a "real grown-up" in a sea of spoiled brats. "Let's hope this teaches the students a lesson," she wrote. "They clearly still have a lot to learn."

When I changed my name I asked the registry employee who could have access to these documents and her answer boiled down to "if it comes to it, it will be our personal responsibility to protect these from fascists and we will give our very best to do so."

Have you been asked, as a federal worker, to do something you don't want to do? But they won't put it in writing?

DON'T DO IT.

If they're going to punish you? MAKE THEM PUT IT IN WRITING. ALL OF IT.

Document, document, document.

Act confused. Be confused! Go slow. Require clarity. Lots. Document
