Every year, this conference has been hella white. All three years. Despite having a qpoc as the keynote last year (in an act of white guilt), there was still only ONE closed qpoc space that I happened to be facilitating with a friend. And in the past, we’ve only been given a qpoc caucus. A fucking caucus. Because clearly, queer folks of color can’t congregate without the help of a conference organized by white folks.
This year, we are taking over. This conference is my baby, and I will not let it suffer like it has in the past. We are actively trying to make this a safer and more accountable and intentional space for all queer identified folks. So, please, if you are a queer person of color and you’re even a little bit interested, submit a workshop proposal, show your work, be part of a panel, whatever. Tell your friends, spread the word. Minimal funding can be given to folks traveling from far away. E-mail us at queerconf@gmail.com if you have questions.
There’s a week left for proposals, so DO IT NOW.
Plus, Jose Esteban Munoz is the keynote on March 2nd. Should I say it again? JOSE ESTEBAN MUNOZ. And free food, and giveaways, and a dance party??? You can’t seriously pass this up, can you?
MARCH 1ST AND 2ND, SAVE THE DATE(S).
TO ALL MY FRIENDS WHO’VE DONE WORKSHOPS FOR QUEER PIN@Y CONFERENCE, QUEER PEOPLE OF COLOR CONFERENCE, QUEER WESTERN REGIONAL, QUEER STUDIES CONFERENCE, STUDENTS OF COLOR CONFERENCE, ETHNIC STUDIES PANELS, ETC, GET AT THISSSS!!
I’ll be at this conference. If you’re local or can travel, it’s free!
Hello and Happy New Year!
So, as some of you may have noticed, I haven’t been incredibly active lately. Due to a combination of school, holidays, and a number of personal issues, I haven’t been as able to keep this site as updated as it should be. I apologize, and I promise I’m gearing up for a…
At the beginning of my transition I knew only one thing, i wanted a flat chest. I was in 6th grade when puberty hit and things started to grow i would bind them down and wear the tightest fitting sports bras, i made sure i was a little over weight so people couldn’t tell i had a chest they would…
And we have a winner! Thanks to Lillian Fleurs for designing the winning logo! :)
That’s a dang nice logo. Congrats! :-)
I had no idea Satori World Medical existed, and just happened to stumble onto their site today. I almost thought it was a scam, but then I looked at their partner organizations. Laura’s Playground, Spectrum Health, and the Southern Comfort Conference are just a few of the groups that apparently can vouch for them. That relaxed me a bit.
It seems they are connected to a global network of providers, and the part that really caught my attention was that they say they can save you 30-50% of the total price compared to U.S. prices. And it looks like they make all of the arrangements, including flight, hotel, and at home post surgery followup. Huh.

- He raises a really great point. What would it mean to believe very early that my body was mine. That it’s not for anyone or for any particular purpose other than to be mine until I decide otherwise.

I was damned near 30 before I could believe my body belonged to me & me alone. Dear people who take an issue with this,
Let the Smiths do right by their babies & shut the fuck up about how you think they should parent.

Hey Tumblr, we’re giving away 24 signed copies of Ernest Cline’s Ready Player One and all you need to do to enter is reblog this post.
We’re going to randomly pick a new winner every weekday until we run out of copies so start reblogging. The first winner gets pulled on Monday morning. Good luck and May the Force be with you.
Hey folks:
Everyone is trying to make a little more money these days, and I think that sometimes working from home is a good option. It can be especially helpful for folks with any life situation that requires someone to spend a lot of time in their housing for whatever reason.
There are a lot of scams out there, and it’s hard to sort them all out. One site I’ve found that has leads to actual jobs and keeps the scams to a minimum is Rat Race Rebellion.
Check them out.
