Honor the Scorned
Eve Xelestiál Moreno-Luz

In "Honor, the Scorned," Xelestial's soul is in constant turmoil with the encounters of love she has in her life, as well as her insistence and demand to be seen under her terms. We enter a transient space of time and magic in this performance ritual with Xelestiál's body, heart, and soul.

Straight, Cis-Passing Privilege & Rainbow Capitalism – Its Subjectivity is Killing Us
Eve Xelestiál Moreno-Luz

Because we encompass gender defiant ideologies and reject the mainstream, we who visibly navigate queerness, who practice transfeminism, miss out on the queer capitalist extravaganza that everyone else benefits from.

Channeling – A Performance of Love

Pride can look like resting with our ancestors, resting with the ones who paved the road of the movement blocks that guide our liberation.

I’ve finally allowed myself to be honest with myself. And as a result, I’m able to be honest with my partner.

They’ll talk Native issues so it seems like they care / But LGBTQ2S issues are Native issues because we’ve always been here

Family meant loving what was not there. But then we grow up. And we learn that to draw close is to survive. And to draw close is maybe even something desirable.

Be vulnerable / Speaking your truth / Even when it shaves your soul / Naked / Leaves your heart in tears / Sheds your fear in pieces

From Celibacy to Sexual Assault: A True Story
Jeremy Holt

I proceeded to tell them what happened. I didn’t have much in the way of details—believing that’s what they wanted to hear—but what I did share left them in a state of slack-jawed shock. They asked me to imagine for a moment if I had done to her what she had done to me, where I might be at that very moment.

"We All Deserve to Heal": 4 Steps to Move through Survivor's Guilt
Dom Chatterjee

I know few get the opportunity to heal. That’s the motivation that drives me to do healing justice work. But in offering community support, I often forget that I’m part of the community too, that I deserve access to heal from trauma. And those “I don’t deserve _____s” are all giving voice to my survivor’s guilt.

Nefertari Sloan

Communication is super, super important. Yet no one really taught me how to communicate about sex. I’ve begun to ask myself why I am so afraid to be seen.

Horoscopes for Staying Present in 2019

What we always lack vocabulary for is our feelings. We don’t know how to express them without navigating through the shame of being a feeling person first. We don’t know how to ask without demanding.
