Gilda Gray - who so rightly warned us in 1919 that “you can’t make your shimmy shake on tea!”

Thom Hvlpvtv (Oklahoma Seminole), 21st Century Native American Unable to Speak His Language (self-portrait) from The Cultural Cringe series, print, c. 2008.

It’s a little hard to see in this picture, but when he gets up, he leaves his mouth behind.

Thom’s an acquaintance. His last name is said like hulbuttah - it means alligator in our language. We’ve spoken in halting, baby Mvskoke to each other. It’s terrifying. I speak fluent Khmer and I can barely toddle along in either my own Tribal language (Mikasuki) or its parent language (Mvskoke). Drives me nuts. Alienating.

And this is where we used to be, not that long ago. Existing can get you in some real serious trouble, kid…

This photo reminds me of the amazing queer history book “Boots of Leather, Slippers of Gold” and how the butches and the drag queens in the 30s and 40s would get tipped off that the bar was being raided, and they needed to switch clothes as fast as possible, because otherwise you got hell, you could get jail time, or worse.

Anti-Censorship Win of the Day: In a major victory for the Internet, and major blow to its would-be censors, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), co-sponsor of SOPA’s sister bill PIPA, has officially withdrawn his support for the legislation.

“I have been a co-sponsor of the PROTECT IP Act because I believe it’s important to protect American ingenuity, ideas and jobs from being stolen through Internet piracy, much of it occurring overseas through rogue websites in China,” the Senator wrote in a post on his Facebook page. “However, we must do this while simultaneously promoting an open, dynamic Internet environment that is ripe for innovation and promotes new technologies.”

In addition to withdrawing his support out of “concerns about the impact the bill could have on access to the Internet,” Sen. Rubio also urges Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid “to abandon his plan to rush the bill to the floor.”

PIPA is currently slated to be voted on next Tuesday, January 24th.

Holy crap, a FL Republican congressman does the right thing? :O I’m genuinely surprised. They usually don’t budge down here. 

The protests are working and here is a result of that!
