UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Looking for a spooky read this season? Check out #TheWitchWolf!

3 witch sisters protect a magic forest, but complications arise when 2 of the sisters find themselves tangled in their affections for a pair of werewolves, the hypnotic charm of the head vampire, and devotion to their magical duty.

A poster of The Witch Wolf. Arrows point to the poster. It reads “Do You Like… Practical Magic, Interview with a Vampire, Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Ginger Snaps, Charmed, The Craft, Crimson Peak, Doctor Sleep | Then you’ll like The Witch Wolf, a webcomic by Dani Carr & Bree Williams (and everyone’s queer!!!) | updates every full moon | thewitchwolf.org

Takahashi-sensei and particularly Ranma 1/2 is maybe the single greatest influence on my art. The comedy, the cheeky sexiness, the physicality and absurdity is something I try to carry with me every day in my work. Also it goes without saying it made me gay and trans

Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.

There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.

What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.

It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.
