Scene from Othon, Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet, 1969. Subtitle reads "I have appeared to love poorly, I have seemed to betray you,"

"I just need to" meme format with the inputted phrased being Nietzsche's "Live in such a way that I must wish to live again".

Althusser and Derrida out on a walk together.

Photo from Angelopoulos' unfinished last film, The Other Sea. Depicts a woman in a long white skirt walking hurriedly along a portside car park.

Well! if only one can desire as poorly as I.

Sighing deeply . . .

It was really beautiful! Need more time to chew on it but will probably reread after I've finished my Celan.

S/Z by Roland Barthes with a thumbs up.

Barthes - S/Z
Who among us can say they’ve not had a flight of passion with a castrati . . . ?

On the one hand I need beautiful women to treat me like St Sebastian . . . On the other hand, I will get kicked out of fashion week for so much as a mosquito bite . . . sigh!

Yellow Dusk by Novick with a thumbs up.

Rose Novick - Yellow Dusk
Recommended heartily by a friend, and was instantly caught up by the chiasatic slide . . . Will need time to return (again and again!)

Sighing audibly and listlessly wandering along the catwalk . . . I stop halfway to sit and recite my Rimbaud . . . My agency in the wings, prodding at me with hot irons, but I refuse to affect anything but my moroseness . . .

Try some Theo Angelopoulos!!! He’s my fav atm . . .

corrupting innocent women into involuntarily sticking their tongues out and going "bweeeehhhh"

Well, you’re still of marrying age yet . . .

One can always find relief in dour times with a folly of friends and some waffles . . .

Céline’s Death on an Installment Plan with a thumbs up.

Céline - Death on the Installment Plan
Maladaptive and sublime. Given me a bad case of the “. . .” to many friends’ chagrin. Some fun to be had below the coarseness of it all.

Okay c:

Sometimes, a good talk with a friend involves having a pitchfork taken to your stomach.

Woman who filters the world through her encyclopaedic knowledge of of Montreal

Norma Tanega - Walking my Cat Named Dog
Mojave 3 - Ask Me Tomorrow
Campbell/Lanegan - Ballad of the Broken Seas

How else would you suggest . . . just ask, teary eyed? You wound me.

Only fainted once on the climbing wall today so we're moving c:

Samson’s Martin Margiela with a thumbs up.

1993-4 Fall/Winter women’s collection. Shows various models in Margiela of the season in small portraits.

Samson - Martin Margiela: The Women’s Collection 1989-2009
One of my fav designers, and a beautiful recap of his career. Wish there were more details on techniques and more photos of the walks themselves. A beautiful gift c:

Foucault’s Use of Pleasure with a thumbs up.

Foucault - History of Sexuality vol. 2: The Use of Pleasure
Really cute! Havent read enough of F. on antiquity, and basically nothing I haven’t heard from Deleuze’s commentary, but still.

Bataille’s Story of the Eye with a thumbs up.

Bataille - Story of the Eye
Eyes and orbs and priests - oh my! A little fun as I prepare to really dive into him (eventually!)

Leibniz’s Discourse on Metaphysics and Other Essays with a thumbs up.

Leibniz - Disc. on Metaphysics and other essays
Perpetual series of living mirrors all the way down, violently reflecting without windows - just brushing up on my Baroque.

Hyppolite’s Logic and Existence with a thumbs up.

Jean Hyppolite - Logic and Existence
Probably the best commentator on Hegel in the 20th c outside Adorno. Dense but an incredible ability as an educator. Going to reread after his Genesis and Structure.

Doing a book thread for ‘26 bc I’m bored and sad!

I'm liable to such temptations!

Well! I'm not sure about that.

To be fair, three of those are on loan . . . it would require a true generosity of spirit to hand over a pocket Rimbaud . . .

Sometimes it appears one must hit a beautiful woman with wide tearful eyes to stop them from liveposting dinner . . . what a cruel life I lead . . .

Quote from interview of Gilles Deleuze by Claire Parnet: "If I hadn't been a philosopher and if I had been a woman, I would have wanted to be a wailer (pleureuse)... [Parnet laughs]"

one must take the words of Deleuze to heart
