PREFACE

Dear Reader, You’ve heard about “seasonal depression”, now get ready for Seasonal Euphoria! Don’t worry, we’re not trying to look down on or trivialize serious mental illnesses! But with spring here, the sun has also come out (most of the days, at least). Usually, this is an exciting and euphoric time: you can go out, absorb the sunlight and hang out with friends. Now, this may not entirely be the case at the moment, but we still want to help you feel good and enjoy the time.

You may say “well, the days are longer, there is more sunlight…

I still feel depressed, I guess it’s not seasonal depression but depression depression…” Okay, fair. A lot of university students struggle with mental health, and with a global panini still here and what seems to be a never-ending lockdown, not feeling depressed or under the weather is even more challenging. We want to break those taboos around talking about one’s mental health struggles. It is okay to talk about mental health, even if you don’t have a professionally diagnosed mental illness. With this issue of the NUKS, we continue to strive for creating a safe space where such topics, and others, are openly talked about without shame. We want to provide you with something small to hold on to, to give you hope to keep going. Frankie Cosmos once said in a song: Being alive matters quite a bit even when you feel like shit being alive. Find those small things, whatever they are and no matter how insignificant they may seem to others, that matter to you. Find them and hold on to them. And keep being alive. Because it matters. Because you matter. You matter by simply existing. We hope we can reassure you of that in this NUKS you’re now looking through as well.

J OY They Both Die at the End, Adam Silvera Content warning: (mentions of) death

The title says it all - Mateo and Rufus, two strangers, are confronted with the worst news they could hear: they will both die within 24 hours, at the end of the story. I can already hear you thinking “If they both die at the end, what’s the use of reading it? And why is it labelled as joy?”. Well, the beauty of this book lies not in looking back on your life, nor in worrying about death, but in living whatever you have left completely to the fullest.

The story is set in a future where Death-Cast tells you when you will die. Through another app, Last Friend, Mateo and Rufus meet each other and from there on, a love story like no other develops. What would you do in your last 24 hours? Find love, look back on your past mistakes, or make peace with your death and spend your final day with friends and family? For Mateo and Rufus, it is to go on an adventure and live a lifetime in a single day. There should be no regrets. This wonderful book that follows an LGBTQIA+ love story is but one of Adam Silvera’s many wonderful books. Now, spoiler alert, you will need tissues for this book!

Heux Tales, Jazmine Sullivan Content warning: explicit language

I N T I M AC Y & S E L F- L OV E

Jazmine kicked off 2021 with her EP Heux Tales (heux = French for happy, but also a wordplay on “ho”), which, to me, is an album that will be remembered for quite some time in the R&B scene. The album is very personal and, in my opinion, her best, as it follows themes of intimacy, love and change (for women).

However, what makes this EP special is the alternation between songs and interludes, or, spoken word pieces. These interludes are titled as someone’s tale ([Name]’s Tale) and embody several women’s insights into love and sex. Sullivan not only creates a space for this conversation, in which women can love themselves, she also makes room for dialogue about the male ego and feminine sexuality.

Heaux Tales goes from up-beat pop songs (“Pick Up Your Feelings”), to more intimate and slow songs (“On It” ft. Ari Lennox and “Girl Like Me” ft. H.E.R. – both very great R&B artists!), to hip-hop (“Price Tags” ft. Anderson.Paak). Be sure to check out the album and some of Sullivan’s other songs (“Bust Your Windows” is one of my all-time favourites).

Depression Quest

Content warning: depression, mention of suicide Mental illness, especially depression, is a trope that authors have always depended upon to make their (fictional) works more interesting. But does it actually educate the reader about mental illnesses, or does it only breed more and more stigma and stereotypes? After all, how many of those fictional works use mental illness to enhance their story in adequate ways, rather than as a scapegoat to make fun of, romanticise or problematise mental illness?

EPRESSION

Ghost Quartet

Depression Quest is nothing like that; the “interactive (non)fiction game about living with depression” follows the story of a person with depression (you are addressed as being that person). Throughout the story (which has quite some text because it is a work of fiction), you are confronted with making choices. However, – and this is where the brilliance of the game jumps forward – the game also illustrates the ways in which you are limited in your options and capacity in life when you have depression. Say, you want to go out with friends after a bad day. You can’t because your mental exhaustion literally tires your physical body. By using polaroid pictures, the game recollects personal stories that could apply to so many people.

This game is not meant to be a fun or light-hearted experience.

So, I strongly advise you not to play it if you are already feeling somewhat blue or experiencing depression yourself. To play the game, go to www.depressionquest.com.

j e a l o u s y, r a g e , p a s s i o n

Content warning: depression, death, mentions of suicide, alcohol abuse, explicit words.

Chances are that even after listening to Dave Malloy’s Ghost Quartet hundreds of times, you might be confused, and on a desperate search for the puzzle pieces that fit together.

Two sisters, Rose and Pearl, who are also lovers, and a mother and daughter, are lost in the void of time and space. Driven by jealousy after finding out that the man she is in love with prefers her sister, Rose asks a bear to help with her revenge. He requires four things in return: one pot of honey, one piece of stardust, one secret baptism, and a photo of a ghost. Just like Rose, who has to travel through different timelines to collect these items, the audience is thrown into different stories throughout the course of the musical: a subway accident, a re-telling of an Edgar Allen Poe story, and a lowkey homoerotic, alcohol-infused evening with four friends.

Ghost Quartet is basically a concept album, filled with weirdness, uncertainty, ghosts, reincarnation, and a rage against the void. The musical extravagance and lyrical playfulness immerse you, until you find yourself going back to it again and again precisely because the quest to disentangle everything keeps you tied up. Its composer Dave Malloy is best known for the electro pop opera Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812, a small musical adaptation of Tolstoy’s War and Peace. You can listen to Ghost Quartet, both a studio and a live version, on Spotify and as a special treat, Malloy even uploaded a freely-accessible performance on YouTube!

Radboud Anti-Racism Awareness Week

he Radboud Anti-Racism Awareness (ARA) Week was from the 22nd of March until the 26th of March 2021. The week was organised by the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Team and spearheaded by students Karla Kiefer and Nikita Krouwel, among others.

The week included an Opening Ceremony, speakers, lectures, discussions, workshops, a movie screening and a Closing Ceremony, including a performance of ‘Radiant Shadow’ by Farida Nabibaks and her theatre crew.

Unfortunately, due to deadlines, I only joined the ARA Week for the final day of the week - Friday’s programme.

Yet, the events of that day were touching, informative and enriching. Friday’s programme included a morning lecture titled, “Heritage and Healing”, led by Josias Tembo and Kiki Kolman, as well as the Closing Ceremony in the evening.

To summarize and build on the words of Josias and Kiki (and the discussion afterwards), the event was centered on the brokenness of our system. Healing and inclusion can’t begin if we are stuck in a system that is broken and excludes certain parts of history and stories. White people, in general, have not sat with the uncomfortable feelings of colonialism and slavery and accepted it. In order to move forward, we must deal with these histories to avoid ‘white fragility’ (the centering of a white person’s or white people’s discomfort on such topics rather than the actual issue people of colour are going through). White fragility usually ends in defensiveness or avoidance of the subject, which, of course, is not productive.

Indeed, it is quite Western-like to attempt to heal very quickly, and only superficially, like taking a pill when you’re sick. Similarly, with social change, healing is not defined by one yearly Black History Month or AntiRacism Awareness Week. Real healing is long-term.

And we have a responsibility as students, intellectuals, and members of society to undergo this healing, said Josias Tembo.

Part of healing, for example, might be reconsidering our ways of knowledge. We need to reconsider what our sources of knowledge are. The theories learnt and textbooks used often have colonial connotations.

Historically, even the fact that only some could write and were literate defined who created knowledge and which knowledge was passed down. Other forms of knowledge, such as knowledge passed down orally or emotion-based knowledge, are excluded from academia.

Additionally, Europe, as a colonial empire, was seen as the center of the world. European scientists brought ‘exotic’ subjects and peoples from other areas to classify, order, locate and define them. The European view was often seen as the only world view, denying other realities/forms of knowledge. The academic space is often a white space and isn’t accessible to everyone.

Then, there is the literal campus space. For example, the Linnaeus Building, named after Carl Linnaeus, has colonial and racist connotations. These connotations already speak as to who is and isn’t welcome on campus.

“It is not enough to ‘not be racist’.

We need to be actively anti-racist.”

We may think of space as a neutral, expansive thing, yet it is not. Being a POC in a ‘white space’ can feel like ‘disrupting the space’ by just being there. All of us, as students, need to be ‘conscious consumers’ of knowledge. Meaning we need to be critical and challenge the knowledge we learn. We need to ask the questions, “Who is doing the teaching? Who is learning?

Who is being excluded from this conversation?”

Especially as a non-POC ‘ally’ (someone who stands up for a marginalized group even if they are not part of that group), it is important to help out in the classroom. During the discussion, I was saddened to learn the amount of intellectual and emotional labour POC students go through in pointing out and correcting racist remarks in class. Or by being asked to offer an intersectional perspective in courses. This is taxing, and it should be the job of universities to be critical and intersectional in the first place. It is the students who are paying to be educated and not to perform unpaid labour to “diversify” the university.

The main message I took away from that day was - it is not enough to ‘not be racist’. We need to be actively anti-racist. We need to be conscious consumers of our knowledge and challenge sources of knowledge. So, the next time you hear a racist or questionable remark in class or see a lack of diversity in the coursework, remember you too need to speak up as an ally and shouldn’t leave it to the POC in the room to constantly do so. In the words of Karla, “check your privilege”. We need to listen to POC and also take action. Let’s use our knowledge to help in the long-term, and beyond just one ARA week.

Introducing: The Collection Specialist Hi everyone, My name is Levi Damsma. I work as a collection specialist in the University Library.

Some of you might have met me before, during a library instruction, others might not. I’d like to introduce myself to you all.

I have worked in the University Library since 2018 as the collection specialist for the modern languages and culture-related studies, including ACW/ACS. In consultation with our researchers and lecturers I order new books and journals for the library. Suggestions for new books by students are always more than welcome - send me an e-mail and I will see if we can buy it! Besides, I give instructions and workshops on literature search strategies, reference managers, and certain databases. Do you have any trouble finding or using sources for your assignment? Let me know, and I can help you.

About myself: I studied History, Scandinavian Languages, and Historical Linguistics and Literature in Amsterdam and Gent. During my master’s degree, I studied medieval Frisian texts (I am from Franeker, originally) – which I thought was fascinating. Now I live in Oeken, near Zutphen, with my girlfriend Charlotte and my daughter Machteld (14 months old). I have a passion for music, and love to play banjo (when I have the time). I also like to read - as all librarians should. Mostly non-fiction about history, for instance.

(At the moment I am happily ploughing my way through a long, weighty biography of Ferdinand Domela Nieuwenhuis).

One of my most important tasks as a collection specialist is helping students to find and use sources and information. This is something I really enjoy doing. If you have any questions about finding sources, search strategies, referring to sources, using databases and more, you can always send me an e-mail: L.Damsma@ubn.ru.nl.

The Long Car Ride Back (Sometime in Late March) * short story: continuation

by Anna Heijnis

A

fter many mandatory tests and a lot of convincing, Maddie was finally allowed to go home with her family. During the car ride home, no one said anything. Complete silence for what seemed like forever. Dad was driving, Maddie was sitting next to him - her mother insisted on letting her sit there, even though she’d been trying to convince her she was fine - and Jayden and mom were sitting in the backseat.

Sometimes, she saw her dad glance to his right, to her; he looked concerned, which was understandable.

Looking in the right wing mirror, she could see her mother, looking out the window, chewing on her nails.

Jayden was staring in the distance as well, clearly stressed. Everyone was stressed. It was the longest car ride ever.

Dad opened the car door for Maddie. “I can open the door myself, dad,” “I know,” He started, “I just-” He didn’t finish his sentence. She stepped out of the car and, with her family, walked inside the house.

It was awfully quiet, even when they were having a drink at the dinner table. Maddie noticed her parents making eye contact, seemingly attempting to communicate in a way. But, when she would try and look them in the eyes, they deliberately avoided it.

Maddie had enough, she just didn’t know how to break the silence. But she had to.

“I’m going to my room,” she prompted. Then, both her parents sharply looked her in the eye. They looked equally concerned, but neither of them said anything. Mom seemed to want to say something, but nothing came out. So, Maddie stood up and left the room, walking up the stairs toward her room.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t make sense of anything. During the ride home, things started coming back though. Something about grandma’s painting, the pain, the dreams, her mother’s confession…

And the pneumotorax? When she woke up, nothing had been wrong; the doctors tested her dozens of times, but nothing came up. Not even a little fever.

Standing in front of the door of her room, she noticed it was still quiet downstairs. Eerie.

The painting. It was something about the painting. Obviously, as soon as she entered her room, her eyes were drawn to it.

It was beautiful: it was a landscape at sunset. In beautiful purples, oranges, pinks and reds, the valley with the little house looked almost real. Her grandmother told her it was a painting she held very dear to her heart, so she wanted her only granddaughter to have it. It was weird, because she had never seen the painting hang in grandma’s house when she was still alive. Nevertheless, she immediately had become attached to the work and hung it up above her bed. Mom had never liked it, but like she had told her before the world turned black; dad disagreed and found they had to keep it out of respect.

She was standing on her bed now, looking at the work from very close by. All of a sudden, she noticed something she hadn’t before: something in the house moved.

She felt her pupils double in size, her heart skipping a beat. The lights in the house were on, and something was moving inside of it. That little tiny house on that landscape; it didn’t just look real, it was real.

Unexpectedly, Maddie felt wind hitting her face. But it didn’t come from the door or the window like she could expect; it came from right in front of her. From the painting. Instantly panicked, she took it down, turning it on its back and pushed it in her closet and closed the door. Then, sitting down on her bed, panting, she heard someone come up the stairs.

“Honey, you okay?”

LGBT+ History and the Importance of the Queer Headcanon

by Charlie Chowdhry

Recently, I have been thinking about the Iliad, the epic poem by Homer. It got me thinking about how gay men are treated in fiction. In my opinion, it is very obvious from the content of the Iliad that Achilles and Patroclus are lovers. Some writers (namely Plato and Madeline Miller) agree with me. However, some historians disagree, saying that we are reading too much into it and doing these characters an injustice by projecting our “modern values” onto these ancient figures. After all, Homer never explicitly said that the two were lovers.

Fair point. Homer never said ‘and then everyone’s favourite twunk, Achilles, turned to his boyfriend and said-’, but he did have Achilles say “...my dear comrade Patroclus has fallen—he whom I valued more than all others, and loved as dearly as my own life?” (The Iliad, 18.78-81)

@glass.soda

Oh my God, they were comrades!

Perhaps you’ve been unlucky enough to read The Da Vinci Code. If you’ve made it this far through my article, you’re probably as horrified as I am at what Dan Brown decided to shoehorn into the last few pages of the novel. (Spoiler alert: after the entirety of the book, with absolutely no build-up or indications of anything beyond a professional relationship, the two leads get together, literally in the last three pages of the book). If that nonsense will fly, “he whom I valued more than all others, and loved as dearly as my own life” is one of the most profound declarations of love in the past couple of millennia.

I could, of course, just be projecting. It’s not like the relationship between Achilles and Patroclus is directly comparable to a pederastic relationship between the two of them that has continued from adolescence into adulthood. It’s also not as if later Greek writers were not only in agreement with me on this, but established who fitted into which role in the relationship, or anything completely impossible to ignore like that.

It seems that, for whatever reason, characters have to be straight until proven LGBT+. And, even then, some people seem unwilling to disregard it.

But it’s not like there’s a shortage of canonically cishet characters in literature, either. After my initial meditations on Achilles and Patroclus, I began thinking about my own favourite LGBT+ characters from fiction (Sirius Black and Remus Lupin, Sherlock and Watson, Anne Shirley, Dean Thomas and Seamus Finnigan) and realised that none of them are canonically LGBT+...

I was naturally curious if other people experienced the same thing. After polling my nearest and dearest friends (all of whom happened to be LGBT+…

I promise I don’t discriminate), it turns out that headcanon and speculation makes up an overwhelming number of the LGBT+ figures we know and love in fiction. This was especially true for figures from history and literature.

Some people I asked listed Sappho as a poet whose LGBT+ identity is canon. Allow me to take a moment to frustrate you deeply. There is not a consensus in Classics that Sappho was a lesbian. There are still people who are very respected in the study of Greek history who will not concede that Sappho was… sapphic. Their reasoning? Her husband - the only record of whom comes from a satirical play in which his name is given as Kerkylas of Andros! Kerkylas is not only a made-up name with no other records of being used, it also comes from the word kerkos , which means cock. Andros , which may be familiar to you as it is sometimes used as a prefix in English, literally just means man. Behold the great Cock, the canonical husband of our favourite heterosexual poet!

Cishet historians will do anything, including paying a disproportionate amount of attention to our good friend Cock, to make sure that there are as many

cishet historical figures as possible. In a way, I can’t blame them. If you’re LGBT+, try to remember how it felt the first time you saw yourself represented. It felt good, right? These historians are trying to relate as much as they can to these historical figures that they admire. In fact, I’d feel completely sympathetic if I hadn’t had to relate to cishet characters my entire life, patiently waiting for the day that I watched a show or a movie and saw myself.

So many of us are tired of waiting. LGBT+ representation in the media still has a long way to go.

It is so rare to see ourselves represented in a way that causes good rather than harm. As a white transgender man, I am lucky to see white transgender men every so often on TV and in movies. Many trans men of colour are still waiting for the day they can see someone like themselves outside of just a horrible statistic. This is why headcanons are so important for the LGBT+ community. We want to create our own representation in the form of gay fanfiction, fanart and headcanons, because we are largely deprived of our history and our place in literature by the kinds of people who think that Sappho was married to Cock.

And, well, who’s to say these characters weren’t LGBT+ to begin with?

Excavating The Warmth

By Jonathan Zackor

I

have recently begun to sleep on a mattress next to the heater in my room. I have been craving the warmth, similar to a cat that picks the spot of sunlight on the living room floor to sleep in. I have been clutching a hot water bottle to my chest, drunk

bottomless cups of chamomile tea with honey, lit yellow candles with flowery or vanilla aroma. It seems like a desperate attempt to melt the coldness within myself that has only been hardened in the constant torrent of rejection and resignation. I needed the little extra yellow and orange-y sparks that just were nowhere to be found, except in those moments.

I needed the spark of colour in an otherwise colourless, unwelcoming world.

I don’t know how it happened. Maybe indeed the winter depression is finally lifting its claws. After another endless night, the sky was in colour. The sun, melting through the clouds, reflecting on the mirror’s surface, breaking into little diamond beams that are endlessly multiplied by your eyes. The once-threatening voices in your head are not wishing you the worst. There is the smell of childhood, of a barbecue in the sun, the quick rainshower afterwards. You can taste the charcoal and petrichor at the tip of your tongue, the feeling of happiness and safety gripping on to your skin, embracing you lovingly.

There is a special kind of trust when you stumble across a new song, not knowing what is going to hide behind the corner of the next verse, but listening on. No skipping ahead to the next song because of fear. It is the awkward but sincere smile that you exchange with the random stranger that you meet while continuing on your path, the mutual makingspace for the other on the pathway. If the world does not meet you with kindness and warmth, try your best to find it in yourself. You know that body lotion or the candle or the special canvas that you have hidden away from your everyday eye, waiting for that one moment when it finally feels like you deserve to use it? That special moment is now.

Allow yourself to take it, blossom with it. Any moment is special if you decide for it to be.

The flicker in you can never be bright enough. The world belongs to you and you belong
