Homicide by Police

Several cases involving police use of deadly force have received widespread scrutiny during the last year: the July 17 strangling death of Eric Garner in...

The last two people killed by police in Hoopa were both Native teenage boys with mental health issues. In both cases, their parents called law enforcement for help keeping them safe, and explained their mental health issues. Last year and halfway across the country in Oklahoma, the same thing happened to Cheyenne teenager Mah-hi-vist Goodblanket. Thinking about the prevalence of mental health problems in Indian Country, chronic lack of mental health services, and the persistent devaluation of the lives of Native youth. RIP Eric Estrada, Peter Stewart, Mah-hi-vist Goodblanket, and all Native youth whose lives have been cut short by colonial violence.

So as a reaction to the recently passed anti-gay laws, Russian gay rights activists have taken various Soviet propaganda posters and adapted them into pride posters instead.

Mostly they did this just by putting rainbow flags everywhere.

But I gotta say, a lot of the original Soviet propaganda posters were pretty damn gay already.

These are unedited Sino-Soviet propaganda posters. With their insistent and repetitive slogans of “Always together!” and “Friends forever!” and the aggressive hand-holding and hugging, I gotta say the Russian and Chinese guys in these posters seem like quite the committed couple.

They have kids and everything! Lookit their little blended family.

They love working together, relaxing together, and reading the works of Lenin to each other. On weekends they garden in their matching overalls.

Rainbow flags would almost be superfluous.

I remember that I was doing this exact thing, I was asking for explanations and definitions in a conversation about disability, and I just wanted to help, and I thought if they just could explain this concept to me that I hadn’t heard before, then I could help more. I remember my friend turning to me and saying, not unkindly, ‘I bet, if you tried, you’d find some really excellent blog posts about this’. I’m fortunate that I got the implied ‘shut up’ there.And she was right. 

I’ve seen people online react really badly when someone gives them a link and says ‘I think you’ll have a better idea of what we’re talking about if you look this over’. We’re expected to slow down, be patient, be kind, be clear, we’re expected to be knowledgeable and articulate and calm and accommodating. We’re expected to do this for free, as a basic part of our identities, the constant willingness to educate. Often we’re expected to do this in order to receive ‘support’ from people. 

It would just be really wonderful to be able to talk about gender without constantly landing back into 101.

Thighs. Not to entertain the likes of others, but to entertain the possibility of me enjoying this part of my body. There are deep-rooted parts of me that I thought would dissipate once I grew older, wiser, etc. I am twenty-two (almost twenty-three) and still experience the same insecurities I dealt with as an adolescent. I am tired of the same battles that have been poking around my mind for years. So this may just appear to you, whoever is viewing this, as simply a picture of my thighs, and that is okay. But for me, this is a small victory. This is a self-portrait of a part of me that I have tried to hide for many years. No more hiding.
