Support youth media makers in Detroit! Donate here!
The thing I love most about Earthworks is how dedicated they are to transformation. The program is a part of Capuchin Soup Kitchen in Detroit, which spent most of it’s time in Detroit as a charity organization. That is: they provided food for hungry people. It made sense—they’re a branch of Franciscan monks that have made...

moon time
summer is such a strange time. a week has passed since i finished my ma coursework, and i still haven’t gotten over the push it took to get there. i’ve avoided most outside contact for almost a month and i haven’t been able to ease back into it yet. i’m trying to see people and trying to finish up two big projects by june 1, so there’s enough going on that i do...
last night, i had a terrible dream that i held an adopt-a-kitten event at my apartment. a bunch of folks showed up and said they would adopt kittens, but then they left and the person from the pound said they had all signed my name on the forms. then she told me i had to keep them, or she would take them back to the pound to be euthanized.
awfullll
but also really weird.

You may remember Jayr from the first issue of OP, he may have bought you a drink or shared a slice of pizza in the Castro with you at some point, or maybe you had to ask him to stop singing Justin Bieber at 3am in DP

Trans men are permitted access but trans women are...

You have more than enough to keep you busy. There seems to be an abundance of everything right now. For the next few weeks the brass ring will be calling your name. It’s time to perk up and start paying attention to some of the greater opportunities that are floating around. As far as time goes, it needs to be managed with a clear eye to how much of it you have to...

That awkward moment when everyone is praising Obama for saying he’ll support same-sex marriage when he promised to repeal DOMA in ‘08 and it’s like everyone forgot. Meanwhile trans* folk are killing themselves, struggle with finding work, a trans* woman was just sentenced to jail for self-defense and the murder of another trans woman in Oakland has zero media...

file under: people get paid to write fucking racist, absolutely unresearched “opinion” pieces and pick on graduate students so che can probably make some money on page clicks and lose its progressive readership
