Schattenblog is an idiosyncratic critical experiment. It's a page by page reading commentary on @deepvellumbooks.bsky.social 's edition of Schattenfroh by Michael Lentz, translated by Max Lawton. It can be read for free with or without the book, but it's published now!

Thank you, have a lovely night.

Thank you. But you know, sometimes our politics become the way we see people, and I’m over neoliberal girlboss self-interest. Frankly, the Marxist-Leninists to the hard left of me on twitter had no problem letting me enjoy art in my leisure nor space for grief. It does not speak well of this place.

What are you going to do, lecture me about resistance after failing to acknowledge a genocide for twenty months because “vote blue no matter who”?

Stopping* anyway, when people push you too far it is good to walk away for your own sanity.

I’m a leftist and frankly liberals yell at me enough already. I don’t need to sit here and do it for fun.

After my beloved cat died, I got smugly lectured about how I should be out stilling ICE abductions (you should never tell an emotional person to interact with cops like that, it’s not good protest policy). This site has a track record.

You can feel free to Google my name for my other life. I’ll wait.

This is why I don’t regularly post to bluesky. Self satisfied hatred of happiness is not progressive.

You can enjoy being a joyless harridan but for me, ballet and being able to eat a scone that are linked in being both things my body otherwise can’t normally do due to a genetic disease and autoimmune condition respectively, and are a victory. Congratulate yourself on being a random asshole.
