Jota Diaries

I am not interested in being politically correct; I am interested in my truths. I am committed to disrupt racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, islamophobia, xenophobia, ableims, misogyny and any other forms of systematic hate and violence directed at our bodies, hearts and minds that political correctness seeks to silence.

It is important not to be content to let failed revolutions be merely finite moments. Instead we should consider them to be the blueprints to a better world that queer utopian aesthetics supply. [They] are passports allowing us entry to a utopian path, a route that should lead us to heaven or, better yet, to something just like it.

-José Esteban Muñoz, Cruising Utopia.

how do you write on the death of someone you never knew but whose words have been so important to your own becoming? what would it be to mourn for someone who spent so much of his life focused on the radical potential and jouissance of queer life—someone whose scholarship resists the work of mourning?

stop acting like writing “punk” and “queer” all over everything makes communities safe and cool aaah

[sadiesicko-deactivated20140305]

punk & queer communities have always been some of the unsafest spaces for me (& i know i’m not the only one!) cuz people know the language & how to manipulate it & take so-called “radical” spaces & identities as a free-pass on accountability.

Poor students with degree worse off than rich students without one

According to the Pew Economic Mobility Project, children raised in high-income families who do not earn a college degree are 2.5 times more likely to end up wealthy than low-income students who actually do graduate from college.

And if my daughter’s mirror ever looks unfamiliar and she’s too embarrassed and proud to run into mommy’s arms I’ll pray, that she has friends with hearts filled with thousands of fireflies who are not too cold to pray with her, who will tell her to stop looking for the light at the end of the tunnel and find God in the darkness.
