I'm a fat brown cis male queer, humorless feminist, tender queer, late 20's college student. This is a blog about people of color solidarity, queer separatism, body positivity, dismantling the white supremacist capitalist cisheteropatriarchy and general insurrection. This blog is a manifestation of my fat, brown, queer rage.
I also run the body positive blogs fuckyeahchubbyguysofcolor and fatnudes, if you're into that sort of thing.
“My partner and I had a photo shoot in San Francisco, in the Mission District. It was part of a photography project for a Queer Visual Cultures class. I started doing drag in 2006 at Esta Noche in the Mission, so being able to take photos outdoors during daylight in the same area was really awesome!” - MexicanDragQueen

I shot video footage today for my upcoming screening.
and, gurl, it did not go well. She said that she has stopped saying the n word(and bragged that her friend has a timer on his phone to count how long it’s been since she last said it[gag]), although she said it a handful of times during the meeting. She said, at least three times, “I apologize if I hurt your feelings,” but refused to apologize publicly or issue a statement.
During the conversation I was so nice that I wanted to fucking slap myself. I told her that a white person dressing up like a nazi and shouting racist slurs in a room full of white people isn’t shocking or transgressive(y’all, that’s just what nazis do). I told her that I believe she can actually be transgressive and challenge oppression from her position. For a second I believed that she wasn’t a monster, just a foolish person with tons of unchecked racism and privilege. She informed us that we’d have to agree to disagree about whether or not her actions are problematic, and that she wouldn’t apologize publicly because she’s “a clown.”
We’re done begging for scraps of community. We’re calling for a national protest of Sharon Needles and the clubs who host her. We’ve created a tumblr for the purposes of organizing these protests.
Hey, white tumblr queers! Remember that time you reblogged our announcement about the protest in Atlanta and said, “Aw, shucks! Too far!” Well, she’s likely coming to your town so you need to get your shit together and join us.
Follow Hell No, Sharon Needles for updates!
Also, here’s an article about today’s conversation.
Cómo Puedes Vivir Contigo Mismo ? - Alex Anwandter
Claramente un tributo a Paris is Burning y mucho mejor realizado que Every Night I Say a Prayer de Little Boots , pues en este video si se rescata la escencia del tan famoso documental.
Fue tanta la trasendencia que la directora (Jennie Livingston) expresó la emoción y felicito a Alex por el pequeño homenaje.
Taylor Mac - The Revolution will not be Masculinized.
The intro made me cry a bit. RIP Lawrence King.
