i hope my misadventures aren't dissuading anyone from making their own website as a patreon alternative, when i first did this back in 2016/2017 it was actually pretty painless so most of the issues i am having right now are based on the fact that i already have a site with content and members that i don't want to lose or fuck over

more specifically i originally set it up with a service that did most of the hard stuff for me, which meant that when they changed from a free service that took a cut to a paid service that still took a cut it really fucked me

if i'd done just a teeeeensy bit more work in the beginning i would be doing much less work right now, which is the actual lesson you should be taking away from my Agonies

I am far less interested in the narrative of The Talented Mr. Ripley as one of psychological profiling—as its reception points to, a tale of ‘psychopathy’ or other such voyeuristic projections of lazy and essentialising psychology—as I am in picking at the discourse by which Highsmith and Minghella constitute queerness as a peripheral threat to the confines of heterosexuality; I find that zeroing in on these questions of sexual norms and deviations thereof makes for a useful exegetical practice. [...] Tom Ripley enters the narrative as the threat of homosexual embodiment—though it might be more precise to name him as homosexual contagion. He acts initially as a disciplining structure towards the governance of the family, tasked as he is with the mission to bring Dickie Greenleaf home to America and, presumably, set him on a path that involves gainful employment and reproductive futurity pleasantly ensconced in heterosexuality. Dickie’s having absconded to Italy ushers in the kinds of potentialities encoded in, for instance, a lingering shot of two men embracing on a street corner, or the classical homosexual tradition invoked by Peter, or Freddie Miles’ campily foppish (though heterosexual) demeanour. For all that Dickie Greenleaf is presented to us as rather assuredly straight, the possibility—threat—of deviation from hegemonic sexual paradigms constantly mediates his relationships with men and women alike, and such a deviation comes home to roost when queer contagion in the form of Tom Ripley takes on the form, language, and desires of the American family unit.

back on my patreon bullshit—this time i'm trying out writing some (relatively) short commentary on whatever piece of media piques my interest at the moment. so if you want to read me chucking some ideas together about homosociality, social contagion, & mirrors in 1999's the talented mr. ripley, you can do so for £1/$1 at the link.

this piece will become free for all a month from today.

Falasteen:

They say photography is poetry without words. If that's true, then this picture is the most profound piece of poetry. Motaz, is our true hero, the journalist who risked his life to show the world the bloodshed and destruction in his homeland.

In this picture, Motaz stands amidst the rubble—remnants of someone's home, their walls, their ceiling, their shelter. The entire photo is monochromatic, except for a teddy bear, which is the colour of blood.

He's holding someone's lost childhood in one hand and a camera to capture its destruction in the other. The only colour that stands out is the red of blood; that’s the only meaning their lives hold now: life or death, survival. That's what their lives have been reduced to.

What are the colours in question? The colours of dreams? The colours of parenthood? Childhood? Blood-red is the only colour left in their world now. They, too, had eyes like us to see all the colors. We get to see all of them: rainbows of future planning, sunrises of childhood tinted with orange and pink.

The gray of destruction? The red of blood?

I wonder, when it all ends and the sun rises, will the children of Gaza still see the world through blood-stained glasses? How can they forget? How can they take them off when they've been etched, painfully, deep into their heads and hearts?

You know what. I'm gonna use this place as an accountability checker. Aka, any story idea I put on here, I HAVE to write something for. Also, instead of doing an "every day, post something creative for May," I'll do it every week (I'll still DO something every day, but not post).

So first thing that I've really wanted to write for a while now? A Cinderella story where the prince is blind.

[N3] 幽霊床屋（ゆうれいとこや）

The NPO Tagengo Tadoku Level 4 graded readers are written for learners at the upper end of the JLPT N3 proficiency level. I've recommended this story about a supernatural encounter in a barbershop on here before. It's one of my favourites because it follows the typical structure of a short story, but only uses grammar points that a learner will already be familiar with.

With the resurgence of people becoming interested in setting up their own websites and platforms, one thing I'd encourage people to look into is something called "static site generators." If you're looking to stand up a really simple site without a lot of dynamic content, this is probably the easiest way to do so.

Static-site generators allow you to automate the development of html pages that are ready to serve. The biggest difference between static sites and dynamic sites is that the latter cobbles together the page your users see by pulling all sorts of data from databases upon request time. In contrast, static sites allow you to serve ready-made html pages, making them much faster, secure, and cheaper to host.

(You do need to know a bit of back-end programming to run some simple commands and setup configuration files, but if you're already dabbling in HTML, CSS, and JS, I'm guessing you're up for the challenge.)

Here are a few resources if you want to try it out.

What is a static site generator?

A list of static site generators you can choose from

There's a lot on that list, but these are the ones I often see people using: Next.js, Jekyll, Hugo, Pelican

Places that host static sites, often for free, mostly for little charge:

Github Pages

GitLab Pages

Render

Heroku

The process of updating your website will be quite different than if you're used to platforms like Wordpress or Weebly. But if you're okay with using markdown editors and syncing your files manually, the amount of control you get back over your own content is totally worth it. There are also a lot of plugins and resources already out there to make the experience much smoother.

Home:

I'm spending my life juggling between the desire to belong somewhere and the urge to run away from everywhere, wondering where I truly belong. Where is my home? What is a home? I honestly don't know.

I only know that it can't be a place you constantly want to escape from, where you feel out of place, like a piece of furniture that never fits in.

It can't be a place where every mirror reminds you to hide that repulsive face behind the submissive, sweet girl with a happy façade. Where every mirror rebukes you when you cry, ridicules you when you laugh. Where the walls silence you, and the ceilings condemn your silence. Where the doors never open outwards, only inwards.

Where you can't escape out of while everyone else can barge in.

It can't be a place where you feel exposed and vulnerable every single moment. It can't be a place where you are decorated for everyone's pleasure except your own, where you constantly dread being picked upon.

Where the walls feel confining, always closing in, devouring the space around you—does one feel claustrophobic in their own home?

Is home a place where you die, or where your corpse is buried?

Is home a graveyard?

I feel like I am in exile. In exile from a home that never existed.

I feel like I've stopped trying to belong somewhere because there is nothing left to find a home for.

Maybe I was never meant to find a home. Maybe for some people, death is the home we search for all our lives. Maybe for some people, home becomes the grave, and the grave is the only true home.

They say homes are made, not found. By whom, I ask? How, I ask?

How do you make a home out of a place where you died?

How do you make a home out of a person who squeezed your soul out of you?

Please tell me, how is a home made? Please, I don't want to be on the run anymore.

Please, I am tired... Tired of holding my breath ever since I was born. Tired of choking on my tears. Tired of screaming with my shaking hands, trembling lips, and fluttering eyes—but never with the voice that drowned every day in a silent tsunami.
