22. Watching “The Battle of Algiers” at The Pentagon in 2003

The Directorate for Special Operations and Low-Intensity Conflict cordially requests the presence of your company in the Pentagon Screening Room on August 27th, 2003: “How to win a battle against terrorism and lose the war of ideas… . Children shoot soldiers at point blank range. Women plant bombs in cafes. Soon the entire Arab population builds to a mad fervor. Sound familiar? The French have a plan. It succeeds tactically, but fails strategically. To understand why, come to a rare showing of this film.” Recorded live at the Moore College of Art in April 2016. Music by Ennio Morricone and Old Table.

So I went home with a lesbian last night.

For visual aid, this is me:

This isn’t me every day.  Sometimes, this is me when I feel pretty and blow my hair out:

But for the purposes of this little story, y’all should know I was wearing a hoodie and a baseball cap and a full beard yesterday, so I wasn’t really feeling my oats and whipping my hair.  I would never really call myself masculine (ever), but sometimes the impression is there (if I don’t laugh too hard, smile with all my teeth, or sashay away).  I’ve been hit on before by lesbians if I was wearing a dress and my hair was just done, but this ain’t that.  I was in full boydrag yesterday.  

Anyway, I wanna tell y’all about how I got macked on last night by this stud in Midtown and now I’m wearing the same clothes I had on yesterday.

11 - Mizrahi Resistance to Anti-Arab Racism 

On this episode: We spoke with Keren Soffer Sharon about her work at Jews for Racial & Economic Justice [JFREJ], where she has been building the organization’s first Mizrahi Caucus. In our newest BDS Watch Watch segment, we talked about the Institutional Jewish community’s awkward attempts to talk “intersectionality” as a means of countering the growing BDS movement in North America. Lastly, Shkoyachs were given to Jewish Voice for Peace’s anti-islamophobia Chanukah actions, and the two activists/academics who took the Toronto Star to task for questionable historical fluff pieces.

WATCH: Terry Crews Isn’t Afraid To Rock The Man-Purse

[porkrolleggandsarah]

I fucking love Terry Crews.

[maeamian]

He’s been so outspoken about toxic masculinity and it just gives me so much hope

[2jam4u]

FYI not once does he call this a man bag, murse, man-purse or any of that bullshit gendered language that tries to separate himself from a woman’s gendered item. @teamcoco way to dismantle the entire narrative in one hyphenated word.

[caramelanin]

This is why I love Terry Crews

Bad Activist; Sex Politics; Palestine and YOU : LIVE at NIGHT KITCHEN, by Humble Mumbles

from the album Humble Mumbles

Sex! Palestine! America! Responsibility?

“Are you trying to be some, like, non-Israeli Good Guy Sex Angel?” “Maybe” She laughed.

This episode contains a narrative... and a narrative about that narrative! Thanks so much to Philadelphia art series NIGHT KITCHEN and its December 5th, 2015 show entitled BYO {[BE-YOUR-OWN]} MUSE, at which this episode was performed. Thusly, this episode problematizes the concept of the Muse in terms of activism and coping mechanisms: the function of romanticism and the uses of Others — “Don’t find yourself in Others—using them for yourself.”

This meta-meta-meta episode features the words of Edward Said, the emotion of guilt, the sensation of lust, amends?, and the wildest sex muse romance mirror of an American Jew I ever met this summer in Palestine.

This episode asks: What are muses? (crushes?) What is sex? (symbol?) What is Palestine? (…. NOT YOUR STORY, AMERICAN ACTIVIST) How do our dreams — fantasies of the feminine, “freedom” via homogeneity and exclusion, privilege-laden 19-century-style travel-adventure-safaris — interact with realities? And do they create space for empathy, or domination?—“Can you even be an activist without romanticizing your cause?”

I hear someone stormed out of this performance around the time I started talking about Jews. Success!
