Pariah Personals
latinosexuality:
Salon.com partnered with New America Media to run a series of coming out stories by LGBT youth of Color and LGBT immigrant youth titled “Pariah Personals,” the series is inspired by Pariah the Movie.
Read the Pariah Personals.
Going to see Pariah this weekend. This makes me all the more excited to see it.

but their critiques of identity politics aren’t the same either! if you read TC (for example, here), their understanding of the role of identity and autonomous organizing is totally different from tiqqun, say, in the call. so you’re still talking apples and oranges in terms of that “reappropriation”. and if you have to compare them, once you’ve boiled it down that far, there’s no...

aight so i think it’s all a little mucky since a lot of what we wrote was clearly for the lulz but then most of it was serious or at least as serious as you can be on caps lock (which is either a manic episode or a heart attack), but it oughta break down a little more like this:

Let’s face it, I wasn’t actually going to video chat with all of you at once. We would’ve had side conversations about anarchist drama, some people would talk about how they’d rather be sleeping/drinking/fucking/etc., and Jim would’ve started talking louder and louder about how politicians are all reptilians. And I would have just thrown my bunny rabbit in front of...

Everyone is suggesting tinychat
And by everyone I mostly mean J. Free who just texted me saying “I’m down for theorizing cultural hegemony I swear it’s not the malt liquor talking.” This could get dangerous.

Whatever happened to chat rooms?
No really. I wish those things could stop being passe/creepy so that I could engage in stimulating political conversations with a bunch of you all at once without having to reblog the same post a zillion times. Tumblr is such an awful venue for such discussions.

STATIC NOTIONS OF IDENTITY ARE SO LAST SEASON. Check your self some time; question your place in society, think twice about the things that make you comfortable. You never know what you might find.

I’m guessing they’re upset that we didn’t credit them for their genius lines.

Queering Theory: A Female-Bodied Experience with... →
These experiences shaped my confidence with theory and I grew to hate philosophy and became a little bit anti-intellectual. Not only did I not have the skills to be “good” at theory, I decided I couldn’t change that. I decided that “theory” was not something that women and queers could do and that it was a bourgie pastime anyway.
About a year ago, I started organizing with people who told me...

It’s not totally over, in that the bad shit that has come of it still resonates with many of the people who organized it; people who are now doing some necessary reading, going to anti-racism workshops, listening to others, and working it out for themselves. I’ve learned a lot this year. But I think it’s safe to say that, the next time I’m asked to take part in a movement...

Last night I had this dream, in which my friends and I went to some party at Henry Rollins’ house. After a few drinks, I recall wandering around, a friend and I walking down the street in fluffy tulle dresses, and passing by a cat giving birth to some really cute kittens in somebody’s driveway. Next thing you know, Henry Rollins comes and picks us up in a musty old truck, and I scoop...

Nope, I don’t care. My sister and I will be chilling/pet sitting in somebody’s swanky apartment in SoHo, with good, cheap wine and Netflix all weekend. We don’t need your shit this year.
