I dream that I’m falling. I try hard to wake up, but I can’t. I just keep falling. The further I fall, the more it burns. In the end, I’m no longer in pain or afraid. I just want to crash so it’ll end. But it never does.
Divines (2016, dir. Houda Benyamina)
Rage and Politics should never have been separated. Without the first, the second is lost in discourse; without the second the first exhausts itself in howls.
The Coming Insurrection (via rakaizombie)
The accusative of violence, like that of love, destroys the in-between, crushes or burns it, renders the other defenceless, strips itself of protection. In contrast to this stands the dative of saying and speaking, which confirms the in-between, moves within it. Then again there is the accusative of the singing poem, which removes and releases what it sings from the in-between and its relations, without confirming anything. When poetry and not philosophy absolutises, there’s rescue.

10 Hidden Gems About Queer Male Desire
1. L’Homme Blessé (Dir: Patrice Chéreau, 1983, France)
Masterfully acted by Jean-Hugues Anglade and directed by the great French filmmaker Patrice Chéreau, this film is a daring and ahead-of-its-time portrait of the anguishes of a young gay man in love with a manipulative criminal.
2. The Garden (Derek Jarman, 1990, United Kingdom)
The great Derek Jarman delivers a visual and metaphorical narrative about the struggles of the gay community having to face oppression, criminalization, stigmatization and society’s homophobia. With his current collaborator, Tilda Swinton, Jarman makes an experimental movie that is very poetical, haunting and unique.
3. Young Soul Rebels (Isaac Julien, 1991, United Kingdom)
A great exponent of the New Queer Cinema. This film touches the subjects of racism, homophobia, black and queer identity, contracultural movements, police violence, punk music, love and desire. A rare kind of film that speaks of themes rarely seen on the big screen even nowadays. It tells the story of the friends Chris and Caz, who run a pirate radio station from a tower block in Dalston, East London.
4. Dong gong xi gong (East Palace, West Palace) (Yuan Zhang, 1996, China)
The first Mainland Chinese movie with an explicitly homosexual theme. The film tells the story of a young gay writer A-Lan who, being attracted to a young policeman, manages to have himself interrogated for a whole night. In placing the openly gay protagonist and the homophobic policeman alone in a room, the movie was able to explore the relations of power, masculinity, and repressed desire with a haunting and, at the same time, sensual atmosphere.
5. Wild Side (Sébastien Lifshitz, 2004, France)
The film is a tender and melancholic portrait of three outsiders who love each other: Stéphanie, a transsexual prostitute; Djamel, an Egyptian hustler and Mikhail, a Russian man who works in a restaurant. Fluid and working like an everyday simple tale, the movie showcases these three characters in a very intimate and sincere way.
6. Soundless Wind Chime (Kit Hung, 2009, Hong-Kong/ Switzerland/ Germany)
An impressionist tale of love, grief and regret which tells the story of Ricky, who leaves Hong-Hong to look for the lost soul and the past of his deceased Swiss lover, Pascal. Ricky struggles with the confusion of memories, reality and illusion.
7. L’Armée du Salut (Abdellah Taia, 2013, France/ Marocco)
The Moroccan writer Abdellah Taia, debuts his filmmaking with an autobiographical adaptation of his homonymous novel. A crude, realistic and intimate coming-of-age about the formation of identity, sexuality and desire and that showcases the difficulties of immigrants in France.
8. Onthakan (The Blue Hour) (Anucha Boonyawatana, 2015, Thailand)
A genre-bending love story about a bullied loner, Tam, who finds solace in the arms of Phum, a boy he meets at a haunted swimming pool. The Blue Hour is a thriller with glances of horror and teenage romance. Sometimes tender, sometimes disturbing, this film is very unlike and unique.
9. Spa Night (Andrew Ahn, 2016, United States)
This minimalistic sensorial film is a hauntingly blurry study on repression, tradition, foreignness, desire and family bound. It tells the story of David, a Korean-American teenager who starts working in a spa to help his struggling family. There he has contact with gay men who uses the spa for sex, and this new reality both scares and excites him.
10. Corpo Elétrico (Body Electric) (Marcelo Caetano, 2017, Brazil)
This film is a fluid and naturalistic study of the every-day-life of factory workers in the northeast of Brazil. The protagonist is Elias, a gay young man who spends his days working in a fabric factory, having love affairs and getting out with his friends. This movie works like a chronic full of energy, love, truth and an elegant simplicity.

〰 Intense Stares (again)
Ricardo Basbaum, “Me-You, Diagram for Choreography,” 2003, up now at the MCA Chicago
On April 20, 1970, the poet Paul Celan left his home in Paris, walked to a bridge over the River Seine, and jumped to his death. He left a biography of Holderlin open on his desk, with the following words underlined: Sometimes this genius goes dark and sinks down into the bitter well of his heart. The sentence does not end there. Celan chose not to underline the rest: but mostly his apocalyptic star glitters wondrously.

I put together this Beauty/Wellness fundraising event and I’d love to see you there if you can make it. Tapped editors from ALLURE, ELLE, NYLON, Fashionista, New Beauty - basically I emailed every editor I’ve worked with, across all publications and platforms - to contribute products to this event. Editors will also be volunteering at the event to talk through products and offer recommendations and ring you up. There will also be a bunch of other stuff including tattoos and reiki and food/drinks available for purchase.
Everything will be going to RAICES Texas for family reunification and bail funds, and any leftover product will be going to local shelters and the Queer Detainee Empowerment Project, which provides resources to newly released queer and HIV+ immigrant detainees. If you decide to come please bring your own tote bag to shop with. You can pay at the door or via the evenbrite page. Thanks!

martha gellhorn: i think the world is just as awful as it can be at any given moment, and a certain number of people appear at any given moment and try to keep it from being unbearably awful. [ . . . ] the history behind us is perfectly terrible, the history of now is perfectly terrible, the history ahead of us will be perfectly terrible, but unless we are totally obliterated, there will always be a certain number of people fighting like hell to keep it from being unbearably worse.
