karaj:
“if it is the accident which pursues the witness, it is the compulsive character of the testimony which is brought into relief: the witness is ‘pursued,’ that is, at once compelled and bound by what, in the unexpected impact of the accident, is both incomprehensible and unforgettable. the accident does not let go: it is an accident from which the witness...

tw: intimate partner violence
baddominicana:
and that scares me, that what we call love is often so abusive that,
when we see abuse, hatred, of course its been normalized. of course we go “meh”.
if what we know of as the purest, most benevolent emotion you can have towards someone is seen as full of infliction of pain, suffering, pitfalls,…..
“evil” doesnt really seem so obviously evil does it?
baddominicana:
but i suppose hegemony is abuse culture…you know, in macro form, as abuse culture is rooted in the concept of superiority and domination…and uses all sorts of aggression, overt and otherwise, to manipulate and assert control.
the system as we know it is in play all around us everyday, and within our homes. that is why we’re so accepting of it. its been normalized into our...

[tw: cissexism/trans* erasure] Seriously:
jazzagefaerie:
Some trans* people are stealth.
And that’s okay.
Some trans* people are open about the fact that they’re trans*.
And that’s okay.
Some trans* people are closeted, or are only out to a handful of people whom they really trust.
And that’s okay.
Some trans* people will never come out to their parents.
And that’s okay.
Some trans* people do not, or cannot, dress as their...

A Kind of Loss (Ingeborg Bachmann)
Shared: seasons, books, and music. Keys, teacups, the breadbasket, linens and a bed. A dowry of words, of gestures, carried along, used up, spent. House rules followed. Said. Done. And always the extended hand. In winter, in a Viennese septet, and in summer I have been in love. With maps, in a mountain hut, on a beach and in a bed.

nobody has that power, you are merely a fellow/traveller
Give up this medical concern, buttoned, attentive,
permit yourself anger and permit me mine
which needs neither your approval nor your surprise
which does not need to be made legal which...
