Did you know that the law banning homosexuality in Germany that the Nazis used to start their persecution of queers was founded in 1532, under the Holy Roman Empire, as described in the Constitutio Criminalis Carolina.

Did you know that law stayed on the books til 1994?

i'm gonna have to start reading Heidegger soon, i think. my Agamben readings have gotten to the point that all serious interlocutors want to discourse about Agamben with Heidegger as the playing field.

"No, the fascists haven't taught us anything at all... it's all stuff that we couldn't and wouldn't want to do. And it's all stuff that we predicted would happen the day the bourgeoisie felt seriously threatened... the advent of fascism should serve as a lesson to the legalist socialists."

Right after defending my dissertation, I had another peer reviewed article published today: "'We're Pro-Choice and We Riot!': Anarcha-Feminism in Love and Rage (1989-98)" in a new special issue of the open access journal Coils of the Serpent. coilsoftheserpent.org/2023/06/

"Anarcha-feminists in Love and Rage (1989-98), the foremost revolutionary anarchist organization of the late twentieth century United States, made significant interventions into both the anarchist and feminist movements. This new generation of anarcha-feminists theorized and practiced intersectional revolutionary politics in their struggle against patriarchy, capitalism, the state, and white supremacy.

In this article, I first address anarcha-feminist struggles against male dominance within Love and Rage before turning to their contributions to the fight for reproductive freedom, queer and trans liberation, AIDS activism, and the fight against workfare at the City University of New York.

Unlike liberal feminists who sought legal reforms and formal social equality, anarcha-feminists fought to strengthen women’s autonomy and self-determination through grassroots organizing. Although their contributions are often overlooked, I ultimately argue that anarcha-feminists in Love and Rage were central to the evolution and revitalization of both feminism and anarchism and shaped the development of revolutionary intersectional politics in the late twentieth century and beyond."

i think i need to get some physical copies of a few of the books i'm using for my research. i should do that today. build out a list of works and select a few that i can dedicate to acquiring physically.

i wish i had some of the books i needed for any of my research projects as physical copies so i could take them outside. it's been so hard to focus while sitting at my computer recently.

okay i gotta keep myself focused some today, i spent the last couple days being lazy, but today i've gotta make some progress on my research projects which are currently separated out into three significant pieces which share obvious overlaps.

1. Denomadization, 2. Compulsory Schooling, and 3. Queerness

Each of these is going to form a foundation that lets us discuss genocide in more ways than making reference to the imagery of the holocaust.
