A+ Children's Books with LGBT+ Representation (Suggested by a Children's Librarian) (1/?)

Families, Families, Families! by Suzanne Lang

A book that teaches kids that families come in all shapes and sizes. From single parents to parents of the same gender, to kids with tons of pets or no pets at all, to kids who live with relatives or are adopted, this book has it all.

Prince & Knight by Daniel Haack

A cute story about a prince trying to find a spouse to help him rule; after turning down a lot of princesses, it turns out the reason he wasn't interested is that he's gay and in the end he marries a knight instead of a princess.

And Tango Makes Three by Justin Richardson

The true story of Central Park Zoo's gay chinstrap penguins who successfully raised a rejected egg just like any other penguin couple. It's worth sharing with your mini reader that this is based on a real story, as most kids don't realize that gay animals are quite common in the animal kingdom and it's not just a human thing.

Red: A Crayon's Story by Michael Hall

Red is a crayon that can only draw blue. It's not until a new friend comes along that Red and their family figure out that perhaps they had been using the wrong label and Red was Blue all along. The book works well as a metaphor for both what it's like to be trans as well as for what it's like to have invisible disabilities.

I made a playlist of songs that people said they really liked in chronological order, so you can hear my progress and how different my voice changed after taking T, or just getting more comfortable with a deeper voice. It's about an hour because I've been making music since I was 15 lol, and I'm 26 now.

If you have the time to listen to someone thats been grinding at it for a decade, I think you'll at least find one song I've made you like. Maybe.

I've made usually country-folk, folk-pop, ambient and electronic sample-based music. I've been recommended by Animal Collective fans on their subreddit lol, but I'm very influenced by Daniel Johnston, early Joanna Newsom, Vashti Bunyan, The Beach Boys, and lo-fi acts like Bruce Haack, R. Stevie Moore, Joe Meek. I made everything pretty much in my bedroom or house.

As you can also tell, I pretty much made all of my album artwork myself. All of this, my music, my paintings are my own project. My own little description of the world. So, I hope you can dig it.

I had vacation and tooth surgery and thus a lot of time to be lazy! <3 A chunk of it I spent listening to the narrations of some creepypasta series. Though, honestly, I'm not sure they can be called that? They're more episodic paranormal stories. Yes, there's monsters running around and dangerous, maybe scary stuff going on, but they're also incredibly wholesome and soo sweet and very queer! So if you're into that, go look for the stories written by @02321 on r/nosleep and Youtube! My Name's Skyler, I'm a Freelance P.I. narrated by Baron Landred (the title on r/nosleep is I Work as a P.I and a Government Agent approached me to help with a case) and I Deliver Mail to Cryptids narrated by Animas. (And also a bunch of stories more set in the same universe of the Silver King.)

Now back to our regular books! We have 4 princes, 2 kings and 1 queen this month!

Banshee Blues (Nina Blazon): I'm in the editing process of my latest novel, which I'm writing in German, so I felt I should read a German, non-translated book for once. This was the only one in my pile but it is from my favourite German author, so all was well. I have a lot to thank her for. The first novel read from her was Der Dunkle Kuss der Sterne (The Stars' Dark Kiss) and that was the first time I liked first-person viewpoint! Her next book had split POV and different tenses and I had to admit it was done well. Banshee Blues was not quite up to par with her previous works but it went a few new directions than usual which was nice as well. It tried very hard to lead you astray with what's going on and who is evil and who isn't. And while I liked how things turned out between the two leads it would have been monumental to have them stay platonic.

The Fallen King's Penitent Soldier (Tales of the High Court 5) (Megan Derr): Sigh, it's been a ride. I had a good time with the whole series. I love the worldbuilding, really. But it is alright to end it here, while it's still good, you know. In a way, these five stories are all built very similar: Being kidnapped by bad guys, running from the bad guys or running after the bad guys for the first half and afterwards waiting to let other people sort it out. There's probably a limited amount of iterations you can go through while still be interesting. But for these five volumes it was fun! As for book 5 by itself, I think it's a good thing it comes so late in the series. Because it really takes its time. There's a lot introspection going on for the two protagonists which is okay because they go through a lot but it's also very long and sometimes not much else happens. I liked the two of them, I liked how religion was handled, I liked how it went full circle back to Allen's story. I liked the series. Good times. :)

Prince & Knight (Daniel Haack & Stevie Lewis): I wanted this for the pretty pictures. But apparently the universe didn't want me to? I ordered this last year already, but the package went on an odyssee through several cities without ever arriving at my home. I ordered it again this year and … the same thing happened?! 8D The odyssee was shorter this time, mind you, but … why again?! I tried a third time and ordered it for pick up at a local bookstore and that finally worked. Geez! It's a children's picture book so the story is as basic as it goes. Is it goo for children? I wouldn't know. The dragon doesn't die and it's very sweet and very pretty.

In all seinen Farben (Boy Queen) (George Lester): I had some exhausting weeks at work and thought I could use something inspirational. Something about finding your own way and shine. Which happens in this book but there's also a lot of drama going on and I was not prepared for the rock-bottom-hit in the beginning. xD I mean, it was written in the blurb but I've owned the book for a year why should I reread the blurb … I know nothing about drag or make-up or anything in that direction (I did watch like 15 minutes of the drag show at Comic Con Stuttgart last year but that hardly counts), so it was charming and interesting to read about.

We Could Be so Good (Cat Sebastian): I have to apologise to everyone on the waitlist for this at my library because I could have read it faster but … once I realised what sort of direction the 70% drama might take I had a tough time reading on. They were so happy and it was nice and I just did not want to suffer! I did assume, since the book goes out of its way to address how all queer books published during the mid of the last century would have to end badly (and the protagonist outright refusing to read them therefore), it would probably take a turn for a happy ending. That was the only hope that kept me going. If I had known any of the author's other work I maybe wouldn't have worried so much, because it's written in her bio already that she'll only write happy endings?! Well … So for anyone else fearing the drama of a book set in 1959: No queer person was harmed in this book! (Nothing major anyway.) I like the book, though! Enjoyed reading it. Nick and Andy are both sweet. But that fear did something to me, took me a while to recover. :'D

Prince & Assasssin (Perilous Courts 1) (Tavia Lark): I needed something simple for my fragile heart and it seems gay fantasy is my comfort read now in the same way my mom reads stuff named like "The Little Bakery at XYZ Street". And what should I tell you, yeah, there're men who are tenderly and not so tenderly intimate with each other, yeah yeah, but there's also giant talking cats! Giant talking cats! Also, I really like the author's writing style. It's so smooth! I started reading and didn't want to put it down anymore because it read so smoothly! The book itself was so much better than I had expected (which was basically nothing). It won't blow you off your feet but it's pretty enjoyable and surprisingly wholesome. Also the worldbuilding felt just right. I'm looking forward to reading the next volumes soon!

King of Immortal Tithe (Darkmourn 2) (Ben Alderson): Did I buy the expensive hardcover just because I like the illustration more than the one of the paperback? Why hello, that's me. So this is the second fae book I read this year. It's apparently a universal truth now that fae men are the most beautiful and well endowed beings on earth and beyond. Not that I mind, you do you, but why does fae anatomy work the same as humans' actually? Anyway, this is a stand-alone in a series of stories all set within the same universe. I like that concept. Hunting for pieces of lore is fun. Arlo is a feisty character so following him was enjoyable. The switch from enemy to lovers was kinda sudden like … I can see why but personally it still felt sudden. Also Faenir calling Arlo constantly Darling was not my taste but you know, if it's just that, I can overlook it. The twist at the end had me barking out evil laughter (which means approval). I did hold back reading the final chapter until I read the first volume as not to spoil any more! (While they are stand-alones the previous story is referenced in this one.)

Lord of Eternal Night (Darkmourn 1) (Ben Alderson): "He was so tall and his hands were so large and his length was so great and so thick my fingers couldn't touch reaching around it. He was not just a man, he was a god!" I laughed. That's not a literal quote, but a good summary. Yeah. I laughed. And while praising one guy he was also dissing his former lover, the baker's son, for not being as large. Not the poor lad's fault, no need to get mean! Should have known at that point already who was the true evil mastermind. :'P. But in all fairness, there is a little more going on in the story. And well, these books know very well what kind of fantasy they're catering. There's a short guy, a little crafty and feisty, not too weak, and the very tall, very beautiful guy who everyone says is evil, but turns out he isn't so evil, he just has a tragic past, he also falls very hard for the protagonist and oops, maybe he does have some capacity for evil. I did like how the story subverted who's good and who's bad like three times. Otherwise, it's not really complex. But I'm kinda into the ending.

Alpha of Mortal Flesh (Darkmourn 3) (Ben Alderson): The third installment in the series, they've been getting more elaborate with each volume. So instead of the 2 and 3 half characters we had in the first one, there's actually a whole cast in here with motivations and backstories. That was nice. The writing style, however, is still as … trying as hard as in the beginning. It's not bad, mind you, I commend it for trying to use the full range of the English language, but there's a lot of words, making everything longer than needed, and sometimes their choice is really weird. Example: "My tongue broke free. It slithered from the confines of my mouth." But it's just a normal human tongue licking something eagerly yet still very normally! And, they're indie books, yeah, but I do wish all three books would have gone through another round of editing. The unnecessary repetitions and errors made me suffer a little. And while I got a little bored and impatient at the end I do like the story and what it's trying to do. Just that it was trying too hard in some aspects of the writing and not hard enough in others.

That's it for July! Apparently, August will be library month again. My TBR bookshelf disapproves but duh. Let's go and have fun. :P

Are you aware of the Prince and Knight book by Daniel Haack?

There's also a sequel:

Spoiler alert: The Shadow King is not actually evil, just sad because he wants to wear dresses and date men and wasn't allowed to. Important to know because this book deeply troubled my children who could not understand why the Shadow King wasn't allowed to wear dresses and why it was a problem that he loved a squire.

#Strong stucky vibes #queer kids books #I try to avoid queer kids books where the characters have negative repercussions for being queer #my kids have honestly no idea that there is a world out there where it's strange to be queer #and I am very curious how long they can make it in life without them realizing #because more and more kids just don't give a fuck #And if you don't set them up to notice gender policing comments they honestly don't even notice most of them because they make no sense

Recodings - Art, Spectacle, Cultural Politics by Hal Foster

Written 1985

Subversive Signs (PAGE 99 onwards)

“The situational aesthetics of this art - its special attention to site, address and audience - is prepared by the varied institutional critique of such artists as Daniel Buren, Michael Asher, Dan Graham, Hans Haacke, Marcel Broodthaers, Lawrence Weiner, John Baldessari and Joseph Kosuth. Yet it Kruger, Holze et al. inherit the conceptual critique of the given parameters of art production and reception, they do so not uncritically. For just as the conceptual artists extended the minimalist analysis of the art object, so too these later artists have opened up the conceptual critique of the art institution in order to intervene in ideological representations and languages of everyday life. It is important to trace this genealogy (which is not intended as a conscription of these mostly feminist artists into a paternal tradition), especially in the face of the contemporary rejection of all institutional critique, indeed all avant-garde practice, under the cynical pretense that it is now “exhausted” or “academic” - a pretense that abets the forced resurrection of a traditionalist art largely given over to the manipulated demands of the market and the myths of the museum.”  PAGE 100

“ It was the need to expose this false idealism of art that initially led these artists to its “mystical body,” the modern museum, for it became clear that its supposedly supplemental role of “preservation, enclosure and refuge” (Buren) actually preconditioned art production, predisposed it to an ideology of transcendence and self-sufficiency. As opposed to the argument that avant-garde practice had attempted to destroy the institution of art, these practitioners held that modern artists had not comprehended it - its conditions of production, exhibition and exchange; thus Buren in 1970: “20th-century art is still so dependent on 19th-century art since it has accepted, without a break, its system, its mechanism and its function (including Cézanne and Duchamp) without revealing one of its’ main alibis, and furthermore accepting the exhibition framework as self-evident.” PAGE 101

“Both Kruger and Holzer are concerned with the power at work in social representations; Holzer’s site of intervention is language. As Barthers wrote:

Language is legislation, speech is its code... To utter a discourse is not, as is too often repeated, to communicate; it is to subjugate. ...Language - the performance of a language system - is neither reactionary nor progressive; it is quite simply fascist.

In her texts Holzer seeks to undo this “fascism,” to display the censurious circularity of our idiolects, Her work suggests not only how language subjects us but how we may disarm it: and here again the tactic is subversive complicity: “it is within speech that speech must be fought, led astray - not by the message of which it is the instrument, but by the play of words of which it is the theater.” With Holzer this “theater” becomes a bedlam of voices which mocks the certainty of personal credos and the neutrality of public discourse (e.g., of the mass media). Her texts often function as a dictionary of received ideas to deplete our ideologemes, to rob them of the “fascist” power to compel.

This bedlam-effect is strongest in her Truisms (1977), an alphabetical list of statements which together confound all order and logic, First presented as public-information posters on New York City walls (and since as T-shirts, electronic signs, plaques, works of art), the Truisms not only “place in contradiction certain ideological structures that are usually kept apart” but set them into open conflict. This contestation-by-contradiction is also contextual, for the Truisms expose the false homogeneity of the signs on the street among which they are often placed. An encounter with them, then, is like an encounter with the Sphinx: though one is given answers, not asked questions, initiation into our Theban society is much the same: entanglement in discourse.

This entanglement is a continual displacement - to the point where the reader begins to see, first, that (s)he is not an autonomous individual of free beliefs so much as a subject inserted into language and, second, that this insertion can be changed. The experience of truistic entrapment cedes to a feeling of anarchic release, for the Truisms expose the coercion that is usually hidden in language, and once exposed it appears ridiculous. Essentially, the release comes of the recognition that meaning is a rhetorical construction of will more than a Platonic apprehension of an idea - that, however directed toward truth, it is finally based on power. This is not a nihilistic insight: it allows for resistance based on truth constructed through contradiction. And this indeed is the one genuine truth that the Truisms express: that only through contradiction can one construct a self that is not entirely subject. (This truth, that of dialects, denies its own closure as a truth: this is what makes it true). “ PAGE 108-109

“Indeed, the language of the Living series is omnivorous; as one set of texts, “Eating Through Living,” suggests, living is eating - consuming and being consumed by speech. In the  Living texts especially, Holzer beets the subtle subjections active in social discourse with wit and play. That is, she leads language astray. Thus, for example, she may turn our official tongue for efficacy and etiquette into its own parody:

Once you know how to do something you’re prone to try it again. An unhappy example is compulsive murder. This is not to be confused with useful skills acquired through years of hard work.

... ... Her recent Survival series is again more desperate: these short texts about class domination, racial oppression, sexual subjection and nuclear annihilation rebut the Panglossian feel-goodism of the Reagan era, Yet here, as is implicity elsewhere in her work, it is uncertain whether Holzer re-presents the rhetoric of “crisis” - an ideology which can mystify the secure positions of power or alternately “justify” its open authoritarian acts, which can erode activism into fatalism or alternately force it into terroristic acts of its own - or whether she succumbs to it.” PAGE 110

Neo-Avantgarde and Culture Industry

Benjamin H.D. Buchloh

Some critics view the postwar avant-garde as the empty recycling of forms and strategies from the first two decades of the twentieth century. Others view it, more positively, as a new articulation of the specific conditions of cultural production in the postwar period. Benjamin Buchloh, one of the most insightful art critics and theoreticians of recent decades, argues for a dialectical approach to these positions.This collection contains eighteen essays written by Buchloh over the last twenty years. Each looks at a single artist within the framework of specific theoretical and historical questions. The art movements covered include Nouveau Realisme in France (Arman, Yves Klein, Jacques de la Villegle) art in postwar Germany (Joseph Beuys, Sigmar Polke, Gerhard Richter), American Fluxus and pop art (Robert Watts and Andy Warhol), minimalism and postminimal art (Michael Asher and Richard Serra), and European and American conceptual art (Daniel Buren, Dan Graham). Buchloh addresses some artists in terms of their oppositional approaches to language and painting, for example, Nancy Spero and Lawrence Weiner. About others, he asks more general questions concerning the development of models of institutional critique (Hans Haacke) and the theorization of the museum (Marcel Broodthaers); or he addresses the formation of historical memory in postconceptual art (James Coleman). One of the book's strengths is its systematic, interconnected account of the key issues of American and European artistic practice during two decades of postwar art. Another is Buchloh's method, which integrates formalist and socio-historical approaches specific to each subject.
