About me:
The PostQueerProject was started with the idea that every experience is worth acknowledgement. Unfortunately, queer identity and personal experience often goes unacknowledged, so easily swept beneath the blanket of larger pictures and bigger issues.
We want to change that. We want every voice to be heard, every vice exploited, every vision to come to fruition, and we want to collect these multifaceted, multidimensional, cross-cultural fragments of queer identities so as to force that acknowledgement and gain recognition.
How, though, do we aim to do that?
We're keeping it simple, borrowing from the great lineage of mailart and direct tools of mass communication: the postcard. Inexpensive, efficient, and accessible by all, the postcard will act as a model for the PostQueerProject. Stories, vices, experiences, toils and troubles of queer identity will be translated into postcard format and collected for the world to see. Thus, individual voices from all corners of the globe will converge into one movement and central locale: postqueerproject.com and its brick and mortar address.
Your part is two-fold:
First, make something! Take a photo, draw a picture, tell a story.. DO IT ON A POSTCARD and send it to us:
PostQueer Project PO Box 22474 Oakland CA 94609
Second, spread the word! Public art with big dreams can only be successful with active participation, so please take part by passing along the information to as many people as you can. Forward this info, link to www.postqueerproject.com , download a flyer and pin it up around your town, or ask us for a stack of PostQueer postcards to pass out.
Please forward this to all potentially interested parties and if you would like to get on the lv night review mailing please let us know!
Call for Submissions: Anarchist Yarns
Deadline: August 1st Length: 1000 words or less How to Submit: email louisvuittonnight@gmail.com
Description: Anarchism has a bad rap. There are so many myths and negative assumptions about anarchists floating around that to wade through them all would turn anyone into a creature from the black and red lagoon. Which is why we’re devoting a whole issue to our stories from the silly to the poignant, from the hilahrious to the just fucked. We want everyone and their granny anarchy to write in a short little story that presents the real side of anarchists, whatever that may be. Don’t pull your punches though, no one’s selling anything, we want the truth and nothing but the truth. We are particularly interested in getting some good old punk house stories or stories about all the crazy anarchist co-op shit that goes down but we are equally interested in the personal side of things, the tears behind the sunglasses, so to speak. Honestly, it can even be made up if necessary, fuck the truth, in fact a bed-time story or two wouldn’t hurt anyone. We know you have your stories, and you have a full month, so make it work!
ps. We’re still looking for anarchist erotic stories, do anarchists even have sex anymore?
hey how are things? your myspace is looking awesome! anyhow, i just grabbed some tight new ringers from www.tonetomyphone.info for FREE! they have the tightest variety!

AND This is a radical queer festival. we interpret queer in a left-radical way: Fucking with gender normativity, borders and fighting for workers' rights are all part of one movement. queer is not a lifestyle. it means the radical questioning of oppressive structures and the interconnecting of different struggles.
My love’s keynote smell is Locked within my pores, His scent exploring Way beneath the skin Where there, like patient doggers, Wait my wild neural highways Empty But for his high performance bike.
Inside My mind’s hide he’s riding At the speed of light sensation Just to find With every touch and thrust The inspiration for my loving him And liking what he does well once Then does again. Dear God.
I drive a clear way Free from traffic A black top From my hot head to my gay heart And halfway home a Welsh lay-by waits. Now, Moving his shift stick into park, There’s handy, A promising place to start.
