dads think 'transgender' is a synonym for gay. keep that in mind next time you're coming out talk is going just a little too well.

Part of a new mural in Montreal by Jessica Sabogal.

Since 1980, 3000 native Canadian women have been murdered/gone missing. Indigenous women are five times more likely than other women to die as a result of violence. Sixty percent of known perpetrators are white men.

This is what the bourgeois political economists have done: they have treated value as a fact of nature, not a social construction arising out of a particular mode of production. What Marx is interested in is a revolutionary transformation of society, and that means an overthrow of the capitalist value-form, the construction of an alternative value-structure, an alternative value-system that does not have the specific character of that achieved under capitalism. I cannot overemphasize this point, because the value theory in Marx is frequently interpreted as a universal norm with which we should comply. I have lost count of the number of times I have heard people complain that the problem with Marx is that he believes the only valid notion of value derives from labor inputs. It is not that at all; it is a historical social product. The problem, therefore, for socialist, communist, revolutionary, anarchist or whatever, is to find an alternative value-form that will work in terms of the social reproduction of society in a different image. By introducing the concept of fetishism, Marx shows how the naturalized value of classical political economy dictates a norm; we foreclose on revolutionary possibilities if we blindly follow that norm and replicate commodity fetishism. Our task is to question it.

Fuck the dyke march in a serious way. I mean, I really wanted to be there today for personal reasons and am glad that I went, but fuck queers who cheer for the police. Fuck queers who march through a heavily gentrified neighborhood that has multiple police initiatives to criminalize poor people, who actually applaud the police for arresting brown teenagers. Fuck queers who march in a crowd of three hundred people and say the police made them feel safer from two kids saying homophobic shit to us. I’m sick and tired of this dynamic never being called out. The police are literally using “queer safety” as as a scapegoat to continue their racist and classist agenda and queers are somehow okay  with this? Even happy about it??

Like, this march wasn't some corporate pride gaygeoisie thing either, it's supposed to be part pervers/cité, so what the fuck is going on?

Not gonna lie, it kinda feels extra terrible when other transwomen are the ones telling you that the washroom you are currently using is for girls not boys.

"Our time is one of hypothesis rather than of thesis, a time of works in process - unfinished, unordered violent works made with the camera in one hand and a rock in the other. Such works cannot be assessed according to the traditional theoretical and critical canons. The ideas for our film theory and criticism will come to life through inhibition removing practice and experimentation."

"Imperialism and capitalism, whether in the consumer society or in the neocolonialized country, veil everything behind a screen of images and appearances. The image of reality is more important than reality itself. It is a world peopled with fantasies and phantoms in which what is hideous is clothed in beauty, while beauty is disguised as the hideous. On the one hand, fantasy, the imaginary bourgeois universe replete with comfort, equilibrium, sweet reason, order, efficiency, and the possibility to be someone. And, on the other, the phantoms, we the lazy, we the indolent and underdeveloped, we who cause disorder."

"Real alternatives differing from those offered by the system are only possible if one of two requirements is fulfilled: making films that the System cannot assimilate and which are foreign to its needs, or making films that directly and explicitly set out to fight the System."

"The decolonization of the filmmaker and of films will be simultaneous acts to the extent that each contributes to collective decolonization. The battle begins without, against the enemy who attacks us, but also within, against the ideas and models of the enemy to be found inside each one of us. Destruction and construction. Decolonizing action rescues with its practice the purest and most vital impulses. It opposes to the colonialization of minds the revolution of conciousness. The world is scrutinized, unraveled, rediscovered."
