morena (she/her)“As a mestiza I have no country, my homeland casts me out, yet all countries are mine because I am every woman’s sister or potential lover. As a lesbian I have no race, my own people disclaim me, but I am all races becasue there is the queer in me in all races.” -Gloria Anzaldúa

Evan Hall (he/they)morena (she/her) Testimonio: A narrative or story shared by someone about a significant experience, typically who has undergone a form of oppression and has lacked agency or the space to make their voice heard. This is a form of expression (typically written by those from the Latiné community) that aims to share a story that holds importance and can resonate with others who have undergone similar situations.
Evan Hall (he/they)Anita Rao (she/her)For some, fashion exists at the nexus of identity and expression. Individuals work political messages, sustainability causes, and creative experimentation into their style. For others, their clothes for the day depend solely on the weather app and whatever is atop the laundry pile.
Evan Hall (he/they)When the 4H’s were coined at the beginning of the AIDS epidemic, one thing was clear: society wanted to ostracize populations most affected by AIDS. Homosexual. Haitians. Heroin Users. Hemophiliacs. Now, 40 years after the beginning of the US HIV/AIDS epidemic with advanced medical technology to treat HIV and a large decrease in HIV cases, where are these four groups now? More specifically, how are these four groups contextualized to Southeastern Michigan?

In leaving my bedroom after a Zoom that ends at approximately 9:30 p.m., I'm greeted by one of my roommates, who has decided to get his Friday night revelries started and is in the middle of noncommittally burning popcorn in our microwave. Somewhere along the course of our conversation, he mentions something about the Bates Motel. I pick up the bit, reference “Psycho” back, and am met with confusion— confusion beyond just a roommate who has started his celebration of the weekend earlier than me. Desperately, I try to jog his memory; I make vague stabbing motions with the sponge I’ve been using to clean the sink, I do a questionable impression of the film’s infamous theme, I explain that Janet Leigh, the actress who played Marion Crane, is THEE Jamie Lee Curtis’s mother. My efforts are fruitless; he’s not getting it.
Elessar Younglove (they/fae)Today I had the privilege to interview queer author and artist Isabel Scheck (she/her), or Izzy for short. Izzy is pan and ace, and at 23 years old she’s already a published writer! Her latest work, “Ace of Arts”, an ace spec art book, showcases her talent. The author describes her work as “a collection of artworks containing the different aspects of asexual, aromantic and other a-spec identities within the LGBTQ* community as a whole, shown in the form of abstract and aesthetic art pieces.”
