So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”

Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.

her name was Marsha P Johnson, and we have her to thank for so much.

remember, the first Pride was a riot, and she was one of the brave souls who endured it to help carve the path which so many of us walk today. she helped found several activist groups regarding LGBT safety and wellbeing. and she was absolutely radiant, too.

since you are curious, here are the thumbnails! :D the only planned audio splice was the ending, the rest just kind of "felt right" to include once the thing started coming together and the timing made more sense to hear physically instead of just imagining it (it helps that i've watched the movie a morbillion times, so i didn't look for any of the voicelines either BAHAHA)

i dont have most of the cropped scenes unfortunately 🥹 at least not in full, theyre on a separate layer so i can finish them but i only drew what people would see! that way i could make sure it remained readable and looked correct in the available text space, even if in full the anatomy might be completely off 😌 but here's one of the fuller sequences in "alone" since i needed it to shake!

but in general it's a bunch of pngs and text stitched together on an editing program (davinci resolve) :3 some of them are manually animated (like the blink) and exported as a video, but anything with depth and quick flashes had separate pieces exported on different layers since it was easier to add the effects that way

Yes, for some reason I don't think they had any Rivercane baskets at this exhibit, the Vinita cultural center is a bit small so maybe that had to do with it? But traditionally Rivercane baskets look like this:
