in imageI was always told Id never make it to 40.
Sex education, bullies and movies said Id die of AIDS
or loneliness. There were no sitcoms about older Gay
men (a "special episode" if I was lucky). My script was
written: Id be cast as "angsty, closeted teen
then
addicted, suicidal hustler then
sexless,
funny,
fashionable sidekick (no older than 35),
white picket
husband or creepy, flaming villain. Then I vanished.
Why would I argue or expect more? So many heroes
died by 40. My addiction and suicide rates are so much
higher than my straight counterparts. My own
community's ageism suspends youth and virility by
any needle, pipe,
an this culturalermi, ermpis te otter side ry
action movie bridge, broken and perilous.
I am 43 today. My need for sexual validation has
simmered (a little bit). The chips on my shoulder are
melting off and the scars of gay bashings look kinda
cool. I earned rights and built tools unimaginable to
my ancestors. What I sacrificed and valued means the
next generations will not need to start from scratch.
Audiences will not forget they've seen us. I no longer
need to buy or sell scripts about invisible men. In our
fatherless culture, my elders call me baby and my
children call me Daddy.
Iam the last First Generation.

"The American ideal, then, of sexuality appears to be
rooted in the American ideal of masculinity. This ideal has
created cowboys and Indians, good guys and bad guys,
punks and studs, tough guys and softies, butch and faggot,
black and white. It is an ideal so paralytically infantile that
it is virtually forbidden - as an unpatriotic act -that the
American boy evolve into the complexity of manhood."

"I'm from San Francisco. I know folks who've,
you know, been in the system and they'll just
say flat out, 'Look, like, she's a cop.' On the
other hand, what's always been really telling
for me is that there are a lot of folks within
San Francisco's criminal justice reform
system, a lot of organizers, a lot of community
groups that are pretty ride or die for her. Like,
they don't agree necessarily with all of the
decisions she's made, but they recognize that
she was one of the few people to even give
them a seat at the table."

US REPRESENTATIVE - DC
PRESS RELEASE
For Immediate
Release
July 9, 2024
Contact: Zakery W (412)-897-2235
DC's US Rep Oye condemns efforts to defund Statehood
Commission
Tennessee Representative Ogles proposed an amendment to
H.R. 8773 to defund the DC Statehood Commission, also known
as the New Columbia Statehood Commission. The commission
advocates for Washington, D.C. to become the 51st state by
lobbying Congress, educating the public, drafting legislation,
and engaging with the community to build support for statehood.
This proposal is seen as another tactic to restrict the
representational autonomy of D.C.'s citizens.
"This amendment is just another attempt to silence DC in our
pursuit of equality and fairness" says Rep Oye "Mr. Ogles has
once again put politics over people by trying to defund DC's
Statehood Commission. For the past decade, DC Senators and
Representatives have reached across both aisles, amplifying our
cause for DC Statehood and strengthening our American
Democracy. Since 2021, as DC's Representatives, I have gone to
different states, both Republican and Democratic led, to promote
DC Statehood. Along with other statehood champions, we have
introduced and/or passed DC Statehood resolutions across this
country. I have appeared on worldwide platforms to advance our
cause. Mr. Ogle's proposed amendment proves that forces
against Democracy are noticing our efforts. As DC's
Representative, I vow to fight back against these threats, scale
up the advocacy and present our noble cause to all of America.
We in DC deserve our voices heard, our vote counted, and our
rights protected. Our only path forward is DC Statehood."

more about rolf:
@toncigulisija_shivarishi
toncigulisija_shivarishi My dear ashtanga yoga teacher Rolf
Naujokat, Narayan Puri left his body the day before yesterday.
My heart is heavy even though I feel my soul is freed. Only his
presence in this world has always given me strength to push
my way. Ashtanga has not been a part of my life for quite
some time. It is completely irrelevant to how I feel about him.
Neither did it matter to him what physical practice of yoga a
man does, nor did it to me.
Rolf was a disciple of Santosh Puri who was Naga Baba. He
initiated him into that sacred order 45 years ago and gave
him mantras and rituals. He spent 2 years with his Baba in
Haridwar.
After that he left his kutir and found ashtanga yoga he had
been teaching for the rest of his life.
Rolf was a being of light. Over the 10 years period, as long as
I used to come to him, somehow he was always the same.
The body slowly aged, its insides did not really change. Every
time you would come we would carry on as if we had never
parted.
His presence radiated softness, love and eternity, with which
he touched the hearts of many people. Most of such beings
from the Baba order have their own lilac, game, through
which limits the number of people who will be around him.
Marcy, Rolf's wife did the duty well. I think they had a blast.
Dear friend and teacher, you will always remain in my heart
• Marcy hugs to you

It leads to empty rhetoric, rally's with
no political foundation, and calls for
"justice" from the very same people who
built a generation of "activists" they can
control. This is a systematic process.
A calculated step taken by the state to
account for social unrest.
