meme: a shortening of the word mimeme, from the Greek for ‘to imitate’ originating from mimos, ‘to mime’…

In an online photo context, let’s call it ‘monkey see, monkey do’…

(wikipedia entry)

Over at some of my other hangouts, photo memes are a means to generate quick content, interact with others and often a chance to show off the booty…

Mundies is short for Monday Undies. Allow me to demonstrate:

I have a thing for underwear; I have a thing for no underwear. I have a thing for underwear as outerwear.

What can I say, other than, “If you wear ’em, share ’em!”

Gung Hay Fat Choy! Happy New Year of the Bara Rabbit.

Year of the Rabbit

Happy New Year 4079! Rabbits signify virility in many Asian cultures because of their notorious propensity to breed. Vigor! Ardor! Potency! That’s about what “Dead Rabbits” meant in 19th c. NYC. Not such a strange name for a street gang after all. It would translate to “straight-up fucker” in today’s lexicon. I am DEAD serious.

Kids these Days! San Francisco’s Mission High School’s Out Gay Wrestler Jaime Loo

Posted on February 3, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Mission High School's Jaime Loo. Via BAR

Jaime Loo attends Mission High School in San Francisco where he is captain of the wrestling team. He is also gay. Loo, 17, a transplant from Panama, has found a supportive environment in his new country, at his school and on his team. He credits his involvement in wrestling for giving him the strength to be himself. He says: “Wrestling has played a big role in my life…it gave me self-confidence. It made me more responsible for myself and for my body. The confidence level on how possible everything is has changed me.” Read sports writer Roger Brigham’s column on Loo in this week’s Bay Area Reporter.

InMediaRes is a Media Commons project that provides a forum for on-line scholarship and critical engagement with the emerging media reformulations of the Book. Each week, a scholar or team curates a short video clip or slide show of still images and presents it with a short, critical, impressionistic response. Other scholars respond with commentary.

This week, Michael O’Rourke and Karin Sellberg of The Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities at the University of Edinburgh curate the Work of John Cameron Mitchell. With three feature films to his credit, Mitchell is finally generating the volume of critical response he has long deserved. To read the commentary and join the conversation, click here.

Gay Eqypt: Report from the Streets – “enough police brutality and torture!” #JAN25

Posted on January 31, 2011 by | Leave a comment

From GayEgypt.com: “27 January Egypt update: El Baradei expected to arrive from Vienna at 19.15 Cairo international airport terminal 3. Protests already restarted today in Halwan, Cairo, and Ismailia. I can personally verify that on each road leading into Tahrir Square police in vans are already waiting (as of 1pm) for anticipated protesters. If I had to put a number I would say around 100, including those inside vans, at the entrance of each street into the main square.

I saw a large number of police at other points including Medan Opera. Plain clothes officers also waiting and a few already carrying long sticks

Last night police blocked all access to parts of Tahrir Square after 9pm. Hundreds of shield and baton wielding recruits ran from one suspected point of protest to another. Plain clothes officers redirected pedestrians while others carried large sticks, and beat some who failed to escape from repeated small protests near to the Corniche. Even onlookers were effected by a cloud of tear gass. We hope to post some photographs shortly.Egypt’s gay and lesbian community has had enough of years of police brutality and torture and GayEgypt.com calls on all lesbians and gays to join their brothers and sisters on the street to peacefully express their demand for immediate change.”

Leather Shooter Shot!

Hey, Rich! What? Snap! Caught! Usually, Rich “Trove” Stadtmiller is on the other side of the lens. Over the last half decade, he has put together  a “Rich Treasure Trove” of Leather images. His archive of almost 150,000 digital photographs is available at the Rich Trove website. This was taken on the occasion of Master Morris Taylor‘s 80th birthday party at the SF Citadel, the City’s premier community dungeon. In the background are the colors of The 15 Association.

Which Six Countries punish Gay Men with the Death Penalty?

Posted on January 27, 2011 by | 2 comments

The International Lesbian and Gay Association (ILGA) has issued a condemnation of yesterday’s murder of Ugandan activist David Kato. ILGA reports that Uganda is among the countries that punish male  to male relationships with imprisonment of 10 years or more. Bad, but not the worst. Death is a legal option in Mauritania, Nigeria, Sudan, Somalia, Saudi Arabia and Iran. For other interesting statistics, including which countries get gold stars, and the status of women check out the interactive map on ILGA’s main page.
