Hi everyone!
I’m currently working on my senior thesis, a critique of queer theory and queer studies that focuses on the ways in which these disciplines presume a singular queer person/experience, which ultimately centers white gay men and subsequently erases people of color, trans* men and trans* women, non-binary folks, and more.
Part of this includes a photographic component, which will...

Hi Tumblr!
I’m currently working on my senior thesis, a critique of queer theory and queer studies that focuses on the ways in which these disciplines presume a singular queer person/experience, which ultimately centers white gay men and subsequently erases people of color, trans* men and trans* women, non-binary folks, and more.
Although this wasn’t my original thesis topic, I decided to do...

Today I was flying home to Costa Rica and had the pleasure of sitting behind a very chatty [white] man. As I was sitting so close to him, I could hear everything he was saying. At first, I could hear him talk about how he started college as an English major but then just wanted to have “fun” so he only took film and photo classes. Next, he moved on to talk about his time spent on...

I know that a lot of things are problematic, but golly gee, can we please start using other words in our conversations!? Problematic is not the end-all word nor does it even begin to describe oppression, privilege, power, hatred, discrimination, etc. If I had a penny for every time someone used that word in my classes, I’d be able to buy every one at my college a thesaurus so they could...

Some of them are undocumented immigrants, or their parents are undocumented. Some of their parents work two or three minimum wage jobs, others have parents who are incarcerated. I tell you all of...

Anonymous asked: My grandmother just claimed that the responsibility for the number of fatherless children today falls directly on the shoulders of the women who decided to "spread their legs" for a man (who can't help himself, because he is simply "like a dog in heat)." Right before that she was parading around the house yelling about how my sixteen year old sister is a...

Hello I’m Micole, and I’m beginning a research project, and hopefully also turn it into a documentary, on the sex lives of queer women/female bodied genderqueer people of color.

I seems that this particular topic is rarely...
