SAG MIR, aus welchem LAND ich komme!? – Participant in Datteltäter project (June 2024)

I was contacted through NAAoG to be part of this episode in the series by Datteltäter on the cultural appropriation, racism, cultural ignorance and arrogance that still persists in Germany despite it being a long time multicultural country. Well, it’s no surprise really but it is somewhat different from other western European countries because many […]

“You don't have to disrespect and insult others simply to hold your own ground. If you do, that shows how shaky your own position is.”

Red Haircrow

“Dance above the surface of the world. Let your thoughts lift you into creativity that is not hampered by opinion.”

Queereaders: Greetings 4 15 Dec 08, 2010 12:04PM  
“The universe is full of dead people who lived by assumption.”
Alan Dean Foster, Splinter of the Mind's Eye

“Do you remember the sight we saw, my soul,
that soft summer morning
round a turning in the path,
the disgusting carcass on a bed scattered with stones,
its legs in the air like a woman in need
burning its wedding poisons
like a fountain with its rhythmic sobs,
I could hear it clearly flowing with a long murmuring sound,
but I touch my body in vain to find the wound.
I am the vampire of my own heart,
one of the great outcasts condemned to eternal laughter
who can no longer smile.
Am I dead?
I must be dead.”
Charles Baudelaire

“Children must early learn the the beauty of generosity. They are taught to give what they prize most, that they may taste the happiness of giving.”
Charles Eastman (Ohiyesa)

Arrakis teaches the attitude of the knife - chopping off what's incomplete and saying: 'Now, it's complete because it's ended here.'

- from "Collected Sayings of Maud'Dib'' by the Princess Irulan”
Frank Herbert, Dune

“Courage is holding on one minute longer than everyone else. Courage is stepping forward when every fiber of your being says step back. Courage is being willing to do the impossible because it is the right thing to do.”
Blaine Pardoe

I know you have to join the group to post, as its a +18 type. And your comments first may have to clear moderation before becoming visible. Not totally sure on that, but I think so.

And I'm headed to Poland in a couple weeks before going home to Germany. Hope it was a good flight, wondering if I'll be using the same airline.

message 16: by Red

Red Haircrow Working on getting a story ready for release next week. It's titled "The Caravaggio and the Swan". Tentative blurb, though I'll probably have a few versions of it anyway:

"Despite a long-time, loving partner, Michael becomes enamored with a beautiful young man online, corresponding fervently, soon inviting him into their home. But he learns a choice must be made between "The Caravaggio and the Swan", and it is not his to make."

A bittersweet tale, which seems to be my preference...

Red Haircrow The Past

Thou unrelenting Past!
Strong the barriers round thy dark domain,
And fetters, sure and fast,
Hold all that enter thy unbreathing reign.

Far in thy realm withdrawn,
Old empires sit in sullenness and gloom,
And glorious ages gone
Lie deep within the shadow of thy womb.

--William Cullen Bryant


message 10: by Red

Red Haircrow Are you one of those people who use the "f" word to refer to gay people, even playing with your friends? Some of us don't like it, and feel it is no better than other racist terms, even if it used with people who don't mind.

Ironically enough, it is really great fun to have a dialogue with him, read his comments, etc. He does have a distinct personality, but like all the people in my books, they are some aspect of myself as well.

Red Haircrow Posted a couple of comments on Christopher Koehler's blog post at Queer Magazine Online: "Strange Bedfellows: The Media, Women and M/M Fiction Romance".

The article addresses the topic of heterosexual women writing m/m fiction from an objective perspective, as I did in my article "Female Writers of M/M: My Thoughts".

Red Haircrow Researching for a novel project, I got carried away this weekend while investigating history books which would assist me in creating the correct "feel" and setting for my story.

Physical mailbox is rather small. With the amount of books I've purchased, and they'll all be arriving at random times, I probably should be more vigilant than usual waiting for the post worker so they won't be overburdened with packages/boxes.
