Seeing some of my queer friends pass around historical speeches by Leslie Feinberg and poetry by June Jordan for the liberation of Palestine. Perhaps now is an appropriate time to revive Forbidden Colors by Félix González-Torres (1988).
If one side can cut off internet, food, water, electricity, and still be seen as the victim does this not tell you anything about the power dynamic here?
It looks like that's it. There's not going to be any media coverage from anyone, anywhere, r/LGBT removed my post about it. The Chinese Wikipedia page is deleting every edit that says anything other than "two women" or "friends" and "random". The news outlets still mentioning it are focused on stories of (imaginary) heroic men and making excuses for the guy that did it. They're just "two women" that didn't matter.
All they're ever going to get is a damn Twitter thread. When Twitter finally dies, who's going to remember what really happened to them, you can't Google it? What the video really shows? Most places have erased it. We really do live in a post-truth world. They just decide that the truth is and the evidence does not matter.
Our lives really are worth absolutely nothing😣 I can be out with my girl, killed by some crazed incel tomorrow, and no one will know why, remember or care. Being born this way is a fucking curse...
