Ich weiß, den Entscheidern in unseren Mainstream-Medien ist das völlig egal, aber wir werden trotzdem nicht müde, die Fakten zu wiederholen: Eine brandneue Studie hat gezeigt, was schon etliche davor gezeigt haben: Rechtsextreme zu interviewen steigert Rechtsextremismus. WANN LERNT IHR ES ENDLICH!

The 'uncertain feelings' idea just fits so well if 'these' refer to democratic thought/politics. We remember them with nostalgia, miss them so much in times like these, and hope for them to return, fear that they may never come back, like the birds…

"A play is not ONLY its themes and supposed “content” but its shape, its sound, its rhythm, its music, its playfulness (…) Immediacy (see Anna Kornbluh’s book on this) is the presentism trap in which society has fallen in this stage of accelerated lazy capitalism in the West."

Yes! I hope new playwrights won‘t forget that they have a right to leave representation behind otherwise there will be no new Churchills, Sarah Kanes, Becketts…

Great Alison Bechdel exhibit at the comic museum #Basel. These dykes loved it! #graphicnovels #comics #AlisonBechdel
Glass doors with rainbow reflection and self portrait of cartoonist Alison Bechdel. Two people are reflected in the glass. Several pages of Bechdel‘s graphic novels exhibited on a white wall, a life size cartoon drawing of the artist rollerblading and drawing a line to skate on with a brush. The following Adrienne Rich quote on the wall: „(…) the hard ones, practicing till strength and accuracy became one with the daring to lead into transcendence.“ Two people with short brown hair, one with glasses and a black blouse, one with a flowery blouse smile into the camera in front of an illustration of the title to Bechdel‘s comic strips "Dykes to Watch Out For".

Creative strategies to get students into reading - I will definitely try these, students often love a book *after* they’ve read it but to get them excited about the process is often difficult!

Here you go! I'll write some new ones for this semester too. They loved them. The "read without your phone or screens in the room" was a revelation, and many of them decided to keep doing it. They had NO IDEA (& were horrified) how often they interrupt themselves to look at a phone for no reason.
Reading Scenario Experiments. This series of prompts is designed to get you thinking about how the setting for reading affects concentration, comprehension, and even the existential experience of reading. Every week, one of the following prompts will appear on the syllabus. I encourage you to try all of them that you are able. How does a different reading setting affect your mood? Your receptiveness to the prose? Your pleasure or difficulty reading? What are the particular impacts of changing your lighting or surroundings? What do you notice about yourself and about the work you are reading during this experiment? 
1.	read by candlelight (use a small lamp in dorms where no candles are allowed!)
2.	read for one hour without checking any devices, answering texts, etc.
3.	walk out into nature (climb a tree, sit on a rock, grab a spot in a hammock) and read
4.	host a reading night with friends & food (sit in companionable silence, reading without chatting)
5.	read aloud a chapter to someone else
6.	climb into bed at night and read by flashlight under the covers for at least 30 minutes, as if you’ve already been told “lights out” as a kid
7.	reread a chapter and see what new things you notice the second time through
8.	change your ambient-noise level: add music if you normally read in the quiet; or read without music if you are normally a music-listener
9.	read with a sketchpad at hand and sketch scenes, characters, or other elements from the story
10.	practice focused listening: have someone read to you
11.	make yourself a special, fancy snack on a real plate to nibble while eating: pay attention to the cooking or arranging or choosing of ingredients to make it especially appetizing first
12.	make tea (even if you’re not usually a tea drinker), and read and sip
13.	invent a new reading scenario for yourself, or repeat the one you liked the best from this term 

[writing assignment using these prompts follows; text character limit prevents inclusion of it in full]

If you can, help finance the first internationalist queer pride Frankfurt. Many big prides have become commercial, capitalist events - may we never forget that the first pride was a riot!

www.paypal.com/pool/9grfFjS...
Red and yellow poster of the internationalist queer pride Frankfurt, 26 and 27 July, demonstration starts 4 pm at Hauptwache. Two fotos: one with a banner that reads „police violence is not an accident“ and the other one showing a persons back with the words „queer trans resistance“ written on their jacket.
