everybody look at these photos of Rodney Bell (a disabled Māori dancer) from the disability/queer studies book I’m currently reading, is this not sick as hell???

[nevershootamockingbird]

[ image one: a page from a book containing two black and white photos of Rodney Bell, a Maori man in a wheelchair. He has a large ta moko on his back that is visible in the second photo. The first photo shows him suspended upside from the ceiling with ropes; below this photo is the caption “Figure 10. Rodney Bell hangs from the ceiling. Still image from Sins Invalid Performance 2008. Courtesy of Sins Invalid.” The second photo shows Rodney facing away from the camera, is arms extended out to the side; below the photo is the caption “Figure 11. Rodney Bell performs ont he ground. Still image from Sins Invalid Performance 2008. Courtesy of Sins Invalid.”

image two: an excerpt from the book that reads “The dancer from above, Rodney Bell, is an indigenous performer, choreographer, and activist from the Ngati Maniapoto tribe in Aotearoa -- the unceded land that is commonly called New Zealand --”  / end id ]

there's something really hot about feeling someone's face with your hands as they talk about things they care about while you touch and grope and play with their mouth.

[ace-trainer-alice]

For the "really wants to be forced into doing things it isn't into because they're super embarrassing and its own fawn response to it is terrifyingly erotic" girlthing, the thing that it's really into and is still really embarrassed by is a kind of glowing weak point.

January’s fave short stories 🌾

Let’s Play Dead - Senaa Ahmad. What if Anne Boleyn can never die? What if she is killed again and again and comes back every time? 'Let's make it so she can't escape. Let's seal the bottle, and shake it, and shake until our hands fall off.'

Fuzhou Nighttime Feeling - Ling Ma. The descriptions of the city interwoven with the narrator's thoughts on their family is gorgeous.. so atmospheric! 'Fuzhou is so hot and sensuous all year-round, the kind of place, my grandma says, that breeds indolence.'

The House of Asterion and Borges and I - Jorge Luis Borges (translations). Both very short & very thought provoking! Highly recommend reading The House of Asterion without any prior knowledge (and then rereading it multiple times..), it's truly brilliant.

The Wind - Lauren Groff. This is very intense but it's so heartbreakingly beautifully written. Major CW for domestic violence and abuse.

Honorable mentions

Hungry Daughters of Starving Mothers - Alyssa Wong

Attack Helicopter - Isabel Fall

The Story of the Avenger and the Archangel in the Palace of Sinners - Eduardo Galeano

Standard Loneliness Package - Charles Yu

Godmaker - J.A. Prentice

The Night Dance - Leah Cypess

Mother of Invention - Nnedi Okorafor

Going to try and make this a monthly thing this year as a way for me to reflect on what I've read! Discussion/recs welcome <3
