Today I had the pleasure of collaborating with happenstance. I was working on another post for today when the opportunity to take this photograph presented itself. Bonk! “Oh no!” But it all turned out okay.
Queer Spirit Camp and Kicked Out
Everyday in October 2010 Sassafrass Lowery posted someone’s personal narrative of homelessness or encouraging words in support of the anthology KICKED OUT and of homeless LGBTIQ Youth. I sent in my two bits. My first appeared on the ninth. Go check it out and buy the book!
For Discussion (01): Nacho Libre
Sister Encarnacion (played by Ana de la Requera) poses a fundamental theological problem here. In this moment the whole spirit of Jared and Jerusha Hess’s work is wondrously contained. I realize it may take time for people interested in this topic to find this post. Please know your comments are welcome at any date.
Lady Bug in Boots Retired
I had to break down and retire my “Lady Bug in Boots” t-shirt yesterday. It’s twenty years old. It’d gotten to the point where I couldn’t pull it over my head without tearing holes in it. I’ll miss wearing it. It’s nicely gendered and wearing it reminded me of great times in Toronto with Maya, Mitzi and Yasmine. Yasmine is a wonderful artist. Several of her pieces, including our beloved Little Prince pillow, decorate the new place. I’d ask Yasmine for another Ladybug t-shirt but I believe she’s moved on from that style. Though retired, my favorite all time t-shirt will not be lost entirely. The image will be cut out (to ensure that I do in fact retire it) framed and put on the wall.
