SYLVIA RIVERA WAS INTO POKEMON

HER GIRLFRIEND AT THE TIME BOUGHT HER A STUFFED PIKACHU

WHAT AM I WATCHING

[baeddel-of-color-deactivated202]

I actually get mad when I see that one picture of her in bed looking all cozy and they crop out the Pikachu slippers she had.  Like, it takes away both the fact that she was an actual person, not just some movement icon, and it makes her death seem way less recent since it’s in black and white.

Um, I think @lunamerbruja has a lot to say about this.

yeah, Sylvia’s favorite Pokémon was Pikachu and she died in February of 2002, which really is not as long ago as people may think. Because she was involved with the Gay Liberation Front and Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries (later changed “Transvestite” to “Transgender”), people think she lived & died with the movements in the 60′s and 70′s because of the “outdated language” she’s often associated with.

She did step away from organizing work for a decade because of transmisogyny and transphobia, specifically this incident where she was fighting for the stage to speak. here is the video Reina Gossett uploaded to Vimeo that documented this moment.

but yeah, i recently wrote a piece on the 5 facts lesser known about Sylvia Rivera a few weeks ago. She definitely survived lots of trauma, but it’s the little things - like her favorite Pokemon being Pikachu - that i really valued learning about her in my research.

also, the video on this post is actually a piece of a much longer documentary on Sylvia Rivera (almost 2 hours) made by Randy Wickerman, just FYI. i prefer the full version because this above segment is mostly interviews of other people’s thoughts/opinions on Sylvia when she actually talks herself about her life & work, as well as the death of her close friend Marsha P. Johnson.

Don’t react to toxic people. Not giving them a reaction when they desperately seek it, is far more powerful.

you ever notice a lot of stuff is considered poor and gross unless its upper middle class (white) people doing it

food trucks in the 90s were the realm of taco trucks and fairground food and were always considered unhygienic and nasty until all these rich city kids started opening food trucks and now they’re “trendy” and “innovative”

riding your bike to work is only considered geofriendly if you can also afford to drive a car but don’t want to, then you’re saving the earth, everyone else isn’t somehow??

recycling old cheap stuff to be used as furniture and wearing really old clothing is a sign of poverty unless you’re doing it a certain way or wearing a certain kind of old clothing

double standards are gross and you should expose them in your life as much as possible
