Jordan Tannahill’s new novel, ‘The Living Realm,’ is set primarily at Teufelssee, a small glacial lake and historic gay cruising ground in the Grunewald forest on the edge of Berlin.
The book, out today, centers on an aging and unnamed protagonist who begins to see ghostly figures in the forest that look like his former lovers. As the story unfolds and we delve deeper into his psyche, we also fall into what Tannahill refers to as the “hauntology of cruising”—the idea that connection unfolds across time and pleasure, linking us to those who came before.
‘The Living Realm’—which the author Douglas Stuart has said “belongs in the firmament of great gay fiction”—comes on the heels of a seven-month off-Broadway run of ‘Prince Faggot,’ his award-winning play that imagines a future in which Prince George is gay. To mark the book’s release, @adameli sat down with Tannahill to talk about the importance—and danger—of making art about the underground, the limitations of chosen family, and why skill sharing, sometimes by way of fisting workshops, is integral to queer survival.

Well smack my ass and call me Carrie Bradshaw! I got to cover New York City pride for Vogue alongside photos by @hunterabrams I wanted to express the tension and paradox that is a pride march - at once playful pageantry and profuse protest. It would have been quaint, but a total lie, to say something like “the day was filled with such joy that one would never know we are facing existential and extraordinary threats”. Yes, there was joy but a weight hung in the air like humidity and that isn’t a bad thing.
Thank you @gtbirk321 for putting this into motion, thank you Marley, @sammysuss and @chloemalle
Thank you hero mentor and friend @ryanmcginleystudios

@miloquifes is a proud college drop-out, a retired influencer, a published YA author, and, with gay Spanish war epic ‘La Bola Negra,’ a newly minted actor.
In the film, directed by Los Javis and following the intertwined lives of three gay men using the Spanish Civil War and the rise of fascism as a throughline, Quifes plays Carlos, a young man in 1932 who has applied to join his father’s prestigious social club at a local casino but is ultimately rejected (or blackballed) over rumors of his homosexuality.
The latter character’s storyline was adapted from fragments of an unfinished, semi-autobiographical play written by Federico García Lorca. An acclaimed poet, playwright, and theater director, Lorca was brutally executed by the Nationalist forces in 1936. Like many gay icons before him, Lorca’s work, image, and martyrdom have come to symbolize something greater than himself—resistance to fascism, artistic freedom, the culture of his native Andalusia, the queer experience. As Carlos, Quifes honors his legacy with a tragic strength that is sure to put him on many a director’s radar.

BREAKING: Just two days before Netanyahu lands in New York, over 1,000 Jewish community members are gathering to observe Yom Kippur in mass mourning, collective atonement, and a call to action.
We refuse to pretend there is a ceasefire in Gaza. We refuse to speak of Israel’s genocide in the past tense. We refuse to be complicit in ethnic cleansing, in the use of our taxes to bomb entire families. And we refuse to welcome wanted war criminals into our city.
This is our third Rabbis for Ceasefire public Yizkor service. We cannot let the day go without remembering and honoring every single life lost in the far too many years of Israeli occupation, funded by the US. On our holiest of holidays, we pray in remembrance, refusal, and recommitment to keep fighting until Palestine is free.

These are scenes from the incredible International Day of Action for the LGBTI+ community in Türkiye. These clips come mostly from @velvele1969 who I have been following for the most up to news and global response about the crisis

The Erdoğan regime in Türkiye has launched an all out assault on the LGBTQI+ communities across the country. At least 60 people were arrested, as police stormed into bars, offices and private homes on Sunday, September 13. Justice Minister Akin Gurlek said in a social media post on Sunday that prosecutors had launched an investigation into 162 suspects, nine associations and 13 businesses to “protect children, the institution of the family, and public order."
Turkish authorities targeted current and former members of multiple LGBTQ rights and HIV awareness groups. The organisations’ websites were blocked days before the police raids.
On Monday, September 14, over 150 protesters taking a stand against these raids were arrested in Istanbul.
Please join activists, advocates, and members of NYC's Turkish and Turkish-American LGBTQI+ communities at 5PM on Friday September 18th in front of the Turkish Embassy to stand in solidarity with the the LGBTQI+ communities of Türkiye, as part of an international day of action and solidarity.

In honor of Allen Ginsberg’s 100th birthday I’ll be reading three passages from his poem, Kaddish, starting at 6:30PM on Sunday at Little Island. The poem is about his mother, Naomi Ginsberg who died on June 9, 1956. It is said, although I’m not 100 percent sure it is true, that Allen wrote it because there wasn’t a proper minyan at his mother’s funeral, which meant he couldn’t say kaddish. The poem is long - it spans 19 pages in Ginsberg’s Collected Poems from 1984. The poem tells the story of his mother who was born in Russia in 1894 and immigrated to New York in 1905 following a pogrom. She first lived on the Lower East Side and then moved to Paterson New Jersey. She was very political, a passionate communist and often brought Allen to meetings. She died while institutionalized at Pilgrim State Hospital on Long Island when he was 30 years old.
The poem begins after her death, with him walking through New York and thinking of her. He imagines her as a child “struggling in the crowds of Orchard Street” and trying new treats like flavored soda and ice cream. It winds through his own warm childhood memories but also features frightening memories of her mental breaks and the many hospitals and institutions he accompanied her to. He recounts other episodes of her life along with graphic images of her aging and exposed body. He writes about her parinioa, New York City, Jewishness, The Holocaust, Hitler and more. He speaks directly to her, asking if he left anything out and the poem ends with an incantation of sorts.
I’m really honored to be reading selections from it alongside some truly other brillant folks.
Thank you @winokurz @edhwass @littleislandnyc

Lev Raphael’s debut story collection, Dancing on Tisha B’Av, is often referred to as an early example of queer Jewish American fiction. It came out in 1990 and received a decent amount of controversy and a Lambda Literary Award in the Gay Debut Fiction. It is best known for its titular story in which a young gay man is rejected by his Orthodox minyan. The story’s title is a paradox - Tisha B’av is one of the most holy days in the Jewish calendar. It is a mournful day that marks the destruction of the first and second Temples in Jerusalem. In modern times the date - the ninth day of the month of Av- is associated with other horrors the Jewish people experienced including the Spanish inquisition and the liquidation of the Warsaw Ghetto. The day is marked by mournful fasting, sitting on the floor, chanting of elegies (Kinot) and more. Dancing on Tisha B’Av is strictly forbidden. It is a landmark book, it is beautiful and I highly recommend it.
I’ve found that MilkFed by Melissa Broder is sometimes left off lists of queer Jewish books and I cannot imagine why. This book, the characters, stories and certain lines, have really stayed with me. It is about a young woman in Los Angeles struggling with an eating disorder whose unexpected run-in with an orthodox woman changes her life. Both characters are full people that don’t carry any Jewish cliches. The way Rachel, a non-observant jew, interacts with Miriam, an orthodox Jew felt so authentic. This is not easy to do as it is unlikely that two people from these backgrounds would spend much, or any time, together. The book is dark but it is also totally brilliant.
Rabbi Abby Chava Stein has lived an extraordinary life. Abby was born in Williamsburg Brooklyn into a royal hasidic family that can trace their roots directly to the Baal Shem Tov, the founder of Chasidism. At about twenty years old she left the community, leaving behind her family and everything she knew. She transitioned and has become one of the most powerful queer Jew
