Work 4 Peace,Hold All Life Sacred,Eliminate Violence! For now, I’ve returned from my Joiyssey to participate in the "revolution":I’ve been at many Occupy sites across the country:1st in D.C. Freedom Plaza I faced & challenged racism/white supremacy, sexism/patriarchy, classism, heterosexism & eventually was kicked off the island; then I offered workshops as I drove to CA:“Anti-Racism Geared for White Occupiers”; “NO DRONES” "Successes and Pitfalls of OWS"

¿Es usted canadiense?

I am mistaken for Canadian several times today – and it feels good. Maybe it’s because of my terrible Spanish – from what I’ve seen, most estadounidenses of course do not bother to learn the language of the people here.

And they are most likely the ones that are so indignant back home when people cannot speak english!

And I am also mistaken for straight too many times today, as unfuckinbelievable as it sounds.

Coming out in Mexico has become a most frequent occurrence as heterosexism abounds. I like to, I am driven to make it clear from its first hetero-ripple I am only interested in dating womyn.

And I have to say that everyone has responded positively, some with humor, all with respect, and most kindly curious to find out more about me.
