Been reflecting a bit on the Forest of the Future, and particularly these words written in 2013, just before winter broke into spring. Reflecting on how far we’ve come in such a short time, and how far we still need to go. The WORLD needs to change. I say that with years of experience crackling […]

some thoughts on “directing”
Awake in the pink light of dawn, having feelings about the video shoot we are attempting today – a music video for Mizz June’s song “Light the Way.” This morning I am struggling with the word “director” within a process that – from the start – has attempted to collapse traditional hierarchies within the filmmaking […]

racial justice on earth
another inadvertantly epic FB post, reproduced here: Ruminating again on the intersections between racial justice and environmental concerns… particularly after reading this amazing post. a) underlying root causes (white supremacist capitalist patriarchy causing devastation and destruction; disregard for violence against people and the earth) b) the movements with momentum that have gotten significant numbers of […]

What Trans Feminism Means To Me

Misogyny – the hatred of femmes – runs deep in our culture. I’m not shocking anyone by stating the obvious here : for hundreds if not thousands of years, women have been bashed, judged, objectified, underpaid, under-recognized, discriminated against, raped, assaulted, and served all sorts of daily micro-aggressions. Trans women and effeminate men, as “traitors” […]

THEY.
Hi, everyone. I’ve been having a lot of pronoun angst lately so I thought I would state this clearly. My name is Quito and I’m a proud transgender person. I prefer “they” pronouns, and have been using them in queer community for a couple of years now. Because I know myself to be androgynous or […]

RIP mandela, a FB rant
I was having some feelings this morning that turned into the longest Facebook post I’ve ever written but I guess some feelings require many paragraphs to explain, here they are. Thinking about Mandela, empathy, a revolution in human relationships, queer economics, functional interdependent communities, last night’s incredible/inspiring JFREJ Meyer Awards, how communities age and grow […]
