you cannot talk about the homophobic murder of jonathan joss without including in the conversation that he is indigenous.

american indian men are at the 2nd highest risk of death by murder compared to all other ethnic groups. in their lifetimes, 82% of native men report having experienced domestic violence. yet the overwhelming majority of perpetrators are non-natives (88% of native men and 92% of native women who reported violence said their attacker was non-native). what’s more, tribal governments are often stymied in their attempts to bring justice against non-natives, meaning that many of these cases go unresolved.

this was an intersectional attack. the fact that he is indigenous matters, even if the motivation was homophobic, because it made him even more vulnerable and disposable in the eyes of his killer.

as always, look into MMIWP to learn more, and speak up for us. miigwetch, take care

I get how the whole "listening to music as a dick-measuring contest for who can listen to the most obscure band" thing can get grating sometimes but I don't think people realize just how vital that phenomenon is for new up and coming bands to get a foot in the door. it's understandable to be annoyed by hipsterism but unless you want all music to be industry plants and former child stars you're just going to have to accept it as part of the social ecosystem.

What did Cesar mean by veni vidi vicci?

It's Latin, in the first person possessive for his neck, back, and vulgar unmentionables. Literally translated, "My neck, my back, my pussy and/or my crack." It's no coincidence these are the same parts mentioned in the song "My Neck, My Back (Lick It)" by rapper Khia, as Julius Caesar was a huge fan of the album, owning it on cassette tape. Ancient times indeed.

You know what, they did not disappoint me. They fought their hearts out. See you next year. <3
