"Tendency to push everything to the absolute, and thus: to the absurd." — #ClaudeCahun
"I have given freely of my soul (prostituted her would be a better word). Nevertheless, I love you with her virgin force. But the soul has taken the name of love in vain so often that now she’s ashamed and is hiding. Like the shepherd boy in the fable, she cried ‘Wolf!’ too often and nowadays, I fear, you won’t believe her."

#claudecahun - October 25, 1894
25 października 1894 roku urodziła się Claude Cahun – francuska artystka, jedna z pionierek queerowej sztuki i surrealizmu. Jej autoportrety dekodują płeć, tożsamość i społeczne role. Razem z Marcel Moore prowadziła ruch oporu przeciw nazistom podczas II wojny światowej. (fot. Wikipedia) #ClaudeCahun #QueerArt #fotografia #sztukaXXwieku

#ExistOtherwise #LitJournal was inspired by #ClaudeCahun and #MarcelMoore. When we began publishing, we did not realize that the US was on the verge of becoming a fascist country.
"Remembering the queer, anti-Nazi art of Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore.

"They asked me to write about home
When there is nothing to write home about
They want me to feed their minds with gory JPEGs
But I don’t have the stomach for that..."
#poetry by Nigerian poet Abdulrahman M. Abu-Yaman in #ExistOtherwise #LitJournal
our muses are #ClaudeCahun and #MarcelMoore
Check out the latest episode of my other podcast @theseoldqueers.bsky.social
where I talk about #queer #dyke surrealist revolutionaries: #ClaudeCahun and #MarcelMoore - who together created groundbreaking art, and later went on to undermine Nazis. Their story is a very timely subject all things considered. Enjoy. Take inspiration.

i am having to do some heavy thinking. the election made me want to tweak the focus of #ExistOtherwise #LitJournal
moving forward, i want to publish more #queer and #trans voices, maybe even only those voices. i also want to emphasize themes of #resistance
but i have a problem. um, in fact, i am the problem. i'm a cis-het white guy
otoh, i feel free to promote the voices of anyone i want to in my little journal
otoh, by doing so i become a gatekeeper
comments welcome
“But it is not enough for a writer to put an arm in the machine; he has to get in completely. If he holds anything back, the diamond will be spoiled by such a blemish that all the world's brilliance will be in vain.” — #ClaudeCahun

#Sumissions are open for Issue 12 of #ExistOtherwise #LitJournal whose theme is this #ClaudeCahun quote:
"In everyday life, we waste words and gestures because we have time to lose and no one is looking, but the actor, a thousand eyes follow his movements and he has only an hour or two to transmit the drama that he performs, it is therefore indispensible that he act and speak with the greatest economy, on stage no waste, nothing must be lost."

"You ask me how I’m doing and we both know there’s no way I’d ever answer that without lying. You say love isn’t made for people like us— we’re too rational for it. I tell you that I’m a secluded person, I chase the people that hate me. I don’t know why I do it, but I do it..."
#poetry by Shivi Sharma at #ExistOtherwise #LitJournal inspired by #ClaudeCahun
On your birthday, lit by the quiet dark, we all stand shoulder to shoulder / around the cake. You wear the party hat at a slight tilt, I wear my heart / pinned to my jacket sleeve. I’m no drinks in, as you become / legal age, grinning wolfishly, knowing already that there / is something sweeter in this room than the vanilla frosting / on my fingertips...
