Second Time Around
I am fond of folk music…particularly of the Indigo Girls. There is something to both the rhythm and story of the song that is sung. The Good Pastor pointed this out and after reading the reflection of the song, I knew I had to post it! I have been bitten by the bitter bug! In [...]
Coche
I have found some wheels. A 1997 Volkswagen Jetta. It is a 5-speed Manual Transmission, and I trust it to get me to where I need to be! This will certainly add some color to my life! I will likely have to think of a name for this coche!

La Missíon
I recently saw the film, La Missíon. I have been intrigued with (the) Latin@s for years. In part, it is due to my own search for my/ (a) Latin@ narrative. Mostly, it is something I know in my body, my soul. Interestingly, this movie depicts and explores epistemology: the philosophy and ways of knowing. Each [...]

When the "Academy" betrays you
I have lived most of my “adult” life in the academy. I have pursued higher education to its fullest: bachelor’s degree, graduate school, and now the Ph.D. I have come to love the rigor of the academy and hate the violence of the academy. I learned early on that my presence in the academy is [...]
The Politics of Underwear
I have spent a lot (A LOT A LOT A LOT) of time thinking about underwear, my body, gender performance, and the politics of underwear. When I was asked last month (May 2010) on a nice Spring day what type of underwear I wear, I knew then that I would have to revisit the politics of [...]
Judith Butler Turns Down Civil Courage Award from Berlin Pride: 'I Must Distance Myself from This Racist Complicity'
As Pride fests happen all across this country, in Berlin, there are waves being made. Read the following story to learn more of Judith Butler’s response, and ways in which the concept of Pride reinvents racist paradigms and reinforces Homonationalism(s). As Berlin Queer and Trans Activists of Colour and Allies we welcome Judith Butler’s decision [...]
Being PROUD @ 5,280′ OR Doing PRIDE (in Denver)
I want to write about my experience today at Denver’s Pride fest. Let me warn you, though, I am NOT a good gay person. I find most Pride fests to be oriented toward male identified persons and the discourse of the politics of equality overshadowing the GAYS. So, the following is my reflection on attending [...]
