"When the status of a Native American is demoted to that of a caricature, we are objectified and diminished as a people. We become entertainment, not fellow citizens. How are you supposed to take me seriously if all you see is the stereotypical image of the Hollywood or sports mascot Indian?"

No, this isn't supposed to be some sort of masterful piece of editing. It's not.
Don't comment say, "Oh, well Obama's lowering taxes for 95% of the nation." Because yeah, thanks, I already know that. It's the other 5% hike I'm talking about.
Don't get me wrong, he's going to be my president now, and I know that's not going to change. I'm hoping he'll do a good job. I just can't stand these "You've brought back HOPE" messages. Like seriously, he hasn't even taken office yet! Time for a little kick of reality now.
Please don't write any harsh comments. If you have something negative to say, do it in a way that I can actually respect you in.
I'm not responding to any more negative comments, only because I have my opinion, and if you disagree, then great, you disagree with your opinion. Nothing I say or you say will change either of those. Feel free to still comment, I still read them.
Thanks =)

read more about the story of violet hobaugh and her house of words
Violet passed away in the last week of December 2009. I'd been wanting to revisit her house for several years now and with her death I wanted to make a more thorough record of the writings and things on her property before it was all gone, since we never had the opportunity to meet. She must have been an incredibly fascinating character. Long live Violet.
This circular tower is in the grounds of Flagstaff Bungalow. In the days before instantaneous messaging, this was one of a chain of signalling towers up the Hooghly from Calcutta to Barrackpore - being able to deliver messages by semaphore or time by use of a time-ball. By reference to old photos it would appear that the uppermost storeys seem to have disappeared from this rather stumpy-looking tower.

You can just make out the words on the fortune cookie fortune if you zoom in.
"A kiss can beautify souls, hearts and thoughts."
I have no idea where this came from. I found it under the kitchen table last night after dinner. We haven't had Chinese food in a while. So I'm taking this one as another message. Perfect timing and all too.
Every year we seem to go through this, so I had to make sure we held up our end by arranging a gay social so we could post the event on the conference message board especially since the Christian prayer group has upped the ante by posting a laminated schedule of their prayer meetings, on both bulletin boards, which included three days worth of speakers who have been very visible in NAPO leadership. (There is also now a faith based network of organizers.) Sure enough, the first day my flyer was there, someone complained to the NAPO President that the notice offended her. Barry our President (who is gay) had this conversation with her.
Woman: "Barry there's a note on the message board that I think is offensive." She shows him the note.
Barry: "What about it offends you?"
Woman: "Well, I was married for 15 years and my husband left me for another man."
Barry: "I'm very sorry to hear that, but NAPO is an inclusive group and these people have the right to be here and announce their meeting." She looks perplexed. "What would help you with this? he adds.
Woman: "It's just that it's right in the middle of the board and when I came up here to look for something that was all I could see."
Barry: "Well how about if I move it down here?" He moves the offending message to the lower quadrant of the board, then turns to her and says "By the way I'm gay."
Apparently she was so flabbergasted, she was speechless because Barry didn't tell us what her response was after delivering this terrific coup de grace.
After the dinner following this conversation, I noticed that my sign had been removed and was building up a big head of steam to spout off somewhere when Denslow (who usually puts up the notice and thus had the longview) assured me that it doesn't mean that everyone hates us or that the management company took it down. It was likely the work of one individual. I had brought extra paper from home (having expected a fight) and promptly made two more notices just like the first with this added note as dictated by Denslow: "This is an annual event held by NAPO members. Please do not remove." On the back I added that removal could constitute a hate crime. I was just posting the two notices when I ran into Barry and his partner and was delighted to hear him tell the above story.
A woman listening to Barry recount his story said, "My mother was married to a man who left her for a man, but I wouldn't hold it against all gays." At which point I'm thinking I should post a meeting to support all the people who had spouses leave them for gay people. We then talk about the Christian group and the same woman says she's a Christian, but she wouldn't market herself as a Christian organizer and join a faith based networking group. I said I wouldn't market myself as a gay organizer either.
There are actually gay Christian organizers as I was to find out at our gay social. The social drew about 10 people. (Barry had a conflict and so did his partner.) We had a nice time. It was because of the gay social event at my first conference that I stuck it out despite all the Christian energy the organization seems to attract.
My notices were removed by Saturday following the social, but the Christian notices were still up until the end of the conference.
Greenpeace activists, rappelled off of some of Pittsburghís iconic bridges with massive banners displaying their message to Group of 20 leaders gathering for the September 24 summit. The banners, one nearly 80-feet by 30-feet in size, take the form of stylized ìroad signsî that warn of the political maneuvering and delay that have put a international climate treaty in jeopardy as the world enters the final stretch on the road to Copenhagen. The banners were hung in the downtown area on September 23, 2009.
Wandering through alleys, travelling the backside of the world, exploring forgotten dark corners, just sitting on a lifetrain, I come across many small messages from strangers, addressing me directly...
Why do people feel that urgent need to leave signs and words as a cry-out to the world...?
