A Linux desktop running tiling window manager i3wm, with three windows showing. In the top left is web browser Waterfox with tree-style tabs on the left pane, showing an article and photograph by Therese Frare, depicting Peta (a two-spirit Indigenous healer with long flowing hair wearing an embroidered robe) languishing in a hospice bed, as the sun flows down onto their face. To the right on the top row is Freetube, an open-source and privacy-centric Youtube front-end, playing an interview with Therese on the World AIDS Museum And Educational Center Youtube channel. She is discussing the photograph, and the closed captions read "often he was a resident, and a caregiver at the home." Finally, on the bottom half of the screen is Ghostwriter, a KDE-based markdown editor, with the script in progress. It reads as follows: "# A CLIPPINGS SCRAPBOOK: PETA, THERESE FRARE, THE SHOT THAT DEFINED THE AIDS CRISIS AND THE TWO-SPIRIT HEALER WHO LET THE WORLD IN In November 1990, LIFE Magazine ran a now-legendary photograph of AIDS activist David Kirby's last moments. Just out of frame was another eventual victim of AIDS, and the reason Therese was in the room at all; Peta, a two-spirit caretaker with their own story to tell. "

a tad late this month, but we're back next week with a brand new Clippings for @assignedmedia.org. for November, we're paying tribute to the lives of Native American two-spirit healer Peta, activist David Kirby, and legendary photojournalist Therese Frare

stay tuned

The promotional poster for this year's Jazzy Fuckin' Holidays Charity Marathon, hosted by yours truly. It depicts a trans femme with a laurel crown and curly, flowing hair framed by a nimbus made of a wreath of mistletoe and holly, with the stars shining brightly in her hair. The poster reads as follows: DATAFRUITS.FM and PIPER AND THE JAZZ PROGRAM present... JAZZY FUCKIN' HOLIDAYS TWO 24-HOUR RADIO MARATHONS ON THANKSGIVING DAY AND CHRISTMAS DAY RAISING MONEY FOR QUEER CHARITIES THANKSGIVING (november 28) ALL DONATIONS GOING TO THE TREVOR PROJECT CHRISTMAS DAY (december 25) ALL DONATIONS GOING TO TRANS LIFELINE BROADCASTING LIVE FROM MIDNIGHT TO MIDNIGHT ON THANKSGIVING AND CHRISTMAS DAY ONLY ON DATAFRUITS.FM The poster is signed "piper <3", and is dated 2023-24, because we're re-using last year's poster for this year.

The poster for the Jazzy Fuckin Holidays charity marathon, showing a smiling femme figure with a visible Adam's apple and swirling, curly hair wearing a fluffy coat, hiding her eye behind a flowing bough of mistletoe.
