In response to Maliha’s inquiry about Barbenheimer’s stance on indigenous issues, Claudia Alick offers a thought-provoking perspective. She skillfully dissects the imperialist and capitalist undertones woven within both Barbie and the Oppenheimer movie, highlighting their role in perpetuating wealth accumulation among the elite.
Claudia Alick watched They Cloned Tyrone and thought it was so brilliant but doesn’t want to include any spoilers in this review. She found the acting was awesome, the design beautiful, the director made so many interesting choices and the script was brilliant. Watch it first then come discuss the film with us.
Event report: Jessenia attended this great evening at the Lesbians Who Tech & Allies :: Queer. Inclusive. Badass. Mixer!! It’s always a good time when you’re surrounded by awesome people!! 🌈
Claudia guides us through the striking beauty of “Midsommar” and unveils its darker theme – a cult exploiting trauma bonding for recruitment. Join us as we explore the uncanny link between a celebrity gathering and the thought-provoking depths of the movie.
Calling Up Justice, a transmedia social justice arts organization, is dedicated to creating fair systems both internally and in collaboration with other institutions. We understand the increasing instability faced by our communities and partners due to the pandemic, economic uncertainties, and growing aggression against marginalized groups. Society often assumes specific abilities, and arts organizations demand non-stop work as if they expect superhuman abilities. To counteract these challenges, we prioritize crip time as a guiding principle in our scheduling and staffing. We also implement resilience staffing to ensure that multiple people can fulfill each role, which leads to shared leadership models and hiring backup individuals to step in if someone needs to step out, much like understudies in theater. We focus on growing and developing the skills and abilities of our team members, constantly recruiting and building new relationships to maintain a healthy pool of potential leaders. We recognize that everything is impermanent and plan accordingly, acknowledging that people’s presence cannot always be guaranteed. This is why shared leadership and developing leaders over time are essential.
Event Report: Maiamama went to Tacoma Pride and had a wonderful time seeing people throughout her community. She was loving the ASL on the Drag
In a world consumed by imaginary utopias and the pursuit of perfection, it is crucial to recognize the value of the accessible mundane. Perfection is a myth propagated by Supremacy Culture, fostering unrealistic expectations. Instead, we should embrace imperfection and engage in the day-to-day creative work of meeting our needs in messy, imperfect ways that align with our capabilities.
Calling Up Justice producers Claudia Alick and Maiamama produced Flash Fridat to CW’s the Flash, Supergirl, Black Lightning, Batwoman, and the entire Arrowverse. We covered Barry, Iris, Joe West, Wally and all the other characters we loved. This was a super fun spicy conversation about race, gender, disability and Copaganda.
