Transformative Representations Of Love

Grumpy posted from my Media Fair play cavalcade

Compound of my friends were surprised being they time-honored Valentine's Day cards from me. They conflict I wouldn't limit contributed to a "made up" stopover centered on having us make use of chief than we need to and mistreat funds. Yet, I find the idea of dowry love to others on a plain day (equal being we do this in the neighborhood the see), to be very tuneful. This see is no unique. Very of allotment media that I love and be in love with, I at home to link media with you all that centers love. Fondness for our community, our social fair play shelve, our warm confidence, and ourselves.

Every person see I've sent cards to frequent I unfailingly quote the incredibly representation in the cards. The quote was made by Ernesto "Che" Guevara and reads:At the peril of facade contemptible, let me say that the true resist is guided by a great feeling of love. It is away to think of a effortless resist minus this quality... We requirement contend every day so that this love of living humanity will be altered into exacting activities, into acts that give as examples, as a conjuring motivation. Guevara was an renown in my home that I grew up with, and to this day heaps of the images that I've seen of him are of him encouraging, happy and pleased. I beginning this idea of "resist love" to be everything that shook me to my core, but that also made me make an prominent selection in my life: to work for change. I also thought-provoking to use this idea in the graduate work I was perusing. That's being I beginning Chela Sandoval's Pedagogy of the Demoralized (this book is hard for me to read and I've read it three times! It's "high theory" but it's also amazing!). In the duplicate Sandoval, a Chican@ feminist erudite and theorist, federation also about resist love. It was like my life and the work I at home to do made knowledge and had purpose! She concludes her book with "Fondness as a social movement is enacted by resist, mobile, and global coalitions of citizen-activists who are coupled by means of the apparatus of emancipation" (p. 184). These ideas are leadership to the person I am and limit guided me to the work I'm producing and am a part of today. This see I've thought-provoking to add a new choice of words to my snail mailing for adjacent week. Very I am quoting a classic outside, The Matrix (I can't reflect it's been over a decade because the outside was released!). If you limit not seen this outside, I promote you to do so as at full tilt as within reach. Square this Media Fair play homework! Vista them in order while represent are three parts, yes, a trilogy. This see I'm quoting The Clairvoyant from The Matrix. Compound of the snail throw I'm freedom has this quote from her:No one can to tell you you are in love, you just collect it, by means of and by means of.Examination out Gloria Enhance, who is The Clairvoyant (that's right! A bank account "T" in The) talking to Neohere. Reflectively, Enhance died count filming The Matrix Reloaded in 2001, a decade ago.

The first witness I'd like to link with you all was brought to my attention by one of my homeboys who posted this witness on Tumblr. His evaluation accompanying the witness read:"Asian youth anti-bullying pink-shirt flash-mob in a Vancouver shopping mall (viaangryasianman)." Afterward I went to the witness, patrician Anti-Bullying Flashmob January 2011, I read the ticket that was uploaded with it which reads:In honour of Conglomerate Anti-Bullying Day, two schools came together to originate a kill about Response and challenge others to use social media as a positive tool. Choreographed by Jheric Hizon, Directed by Anita Perel-Panar - A Report Semi-detached Productions Here's the video: Abruptly at the rear of seeing the witness, it was live all over social media and ColorLines equal other it to their Splash Fondness series. The youth who are participating now do an startling job of representing all of the grueling special effects we can do with media. They are all media makers as are the frequent who are reflection. Most recent a look at all the people who are fasten with their cell phones alone! All of the perspectives we see, from an transmitter view, to disable reactions, to frequent endorsement in the involved of the mall; all of them represent the complex people who are fasten and strong this media. I've in black and white about how I see dancing as a form of media making, and what I love sincerely about this witness is the inter-generational assimilation. You see frequent from all ages as participants and dancers, but also the frequent who are reflection and enjoying themselves. Media does not unfailingly limit to be everything we analysis, it is everything that can give our lives meaning and make us feel confirmed.

Floor the incredibly lines of anti-bullying is a new single by R">Marsha Ambrosius who was one partial of the R">Floetry. Her witness centers on prominence incredibly gender relationships incoming the Black community. I wrote a section about this witness already this see and how we can use it as a form of media to begin chat. Examination the witness out below:

Another outside that I came on both sides of was created by my homegirls Mia and Stacey. I've mentioned them often as they work to build a home together as queer disabled Corean women living in the US. Appearing in we get an notify from Mia and Stacey, learn about their experiences, and seize a bit chief about what help they need to build the home they need to live sustainable lives together:

Asking for a Cause...From the Bathroom TOSD from Mia Mingus on Vimeo. One of my firm favorite parts about this witness is their honesty and chat of love. Stacey shares:"The thrilling editorial is we've been having a lot of community support out arrived, and so unique people limit been coming normal to help me do escort work getting me out of the bed in the daylight. And it's now isolated while it feels like for the first time exit isn't an human being editorial I limit to arise out by in my opinion, but everything that community is now persuaded to making extend, so I can be included." This speaks volumes to me about how prominent community is, sincerely community that is sympathy and centers on inclusively. Stacey allotment how she has been able to experience exit and not from an reserved and human being permission, is keep a note that love comes in various forms and can be summative. She also is hilarious being she says right formerly the witness ends that "if we don't look cute, we can't viewpoint this." I be in love with them! If you can help them contented do, equal if it system allotment this witness with your communities! This February, I'm goodbye to trust my instinct and appreciate the love that surrounds me. I assist to delusion a world everyplace we are loved and we are reminded of that each day. In court case you limit not been reminded yet: you are loved!
