All the young dudes (will be played by women)

Love / Shove post by Kelsey Wallace on November 24, 2008 - 1:52pm; tagged film, gender, Twilight.

Stewart and ReedAccording to some internet buzzing, Twilight stars (that's right, Twilight is everywhere) Kristin Stewart and Nikki Reed are set to star in a new film called K-11. For those of you who are not down with prison lingo (and I will include myself here), K-11 is the official classification code for gay inmates, and Stewart and Reed will both be playing gay men in the film. That's right, gay men.

Pink is the new justice

Love / Shove post by Brian Frank on November 24, 2008 - 1:40pm; tagged activism, Direct Action, Gulabi Gang, India, Pink, Pink Gang.

"I took my gang of several hundred women, all with leki sticks, we surrounded the police station, we beat the police officers sitting outside the station. Then other policemen came out with their leki sticks, our women then got very aggressive and starting beating the police...and then we tied them up."

It's not every morning there's a generally glowing NPR story about, well, militant grassroots uprisings against patriarchy and social injustice, but this morning's story about the Pink Sari Gang from the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh was certainly that...at least if you can get past the constant references to how "angry" and "vengeful" these women are.

Poking around a little bit on the web, I found an even better mini-documentary on the Gulabi (pink) Gang. Turns out that (surprise, surprise) they don't just beat up police, but have a range of programs encouraging women's empowerment and self-sufficiency, sustainability and jobs. Here's the video:

Weekend Rhymes

Love / Shove post by Jonanna Widner on November 21, 2008 - 6:08pm; tagged Twilight.

Alright, people: I am officially freaked out about this Twilight mess. For many, many reasons. Too many to go into here, on a Friday afternoon, when instead of logically laying them out in a thoughtful blog entry I can slobber on about them incoherently to the stranger on my left at happy hour. So, Internets, you get the short versions. And, as always--we welcome your own haikus, limericks, and other versions of Weekend Rhymes in the comments section below. Behold ours, the Twilight edition:

The Box's Crush of the Week: Rachel Maddow

TV post by Juliana Tringali on November 21, 2008 - 7:54am; tagged MSNBC, Rachel Maddow.

 

Rachel Maddow wins the soon-to-be coveted title of The Box's Crush of the Week thanks to her mad reporting skillz, refreshing sense of humor, and love of cocktails.

The fact that she's a groundbreaking lesbian news anchor? Icing on the crush cake.

A day of remembrance

Love / Shove post by Kelsey Wallace on November 20, 2008 - 3:59pm; tagged Bridges McRae, Duanna Johnson, hate crimes, Transgender Remembrance Day.

Today is Transgender Remembrance Day. Founded in 1999, this is a day set aside each year to remember the transgendered people who have been victims of hate crimes and other abuse throughout the year. Unfortunately, this type of shitty behavior is still going on as we speak. Case in point: former Memphis Police Officer Bridges McRae.
