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.

This delightful hooligan has been gifting me with moist emotional support toys all day. You are not allowed to keep them. They are just an opportunity to tell her that she is a good girl with a good chew. Then they must be returned.

I have so much sewing to do and I’m on the internet goofing off instead.
