Video reblogged from fuck yeah, hard femme!
this is anna anthropy. you may know her work from her game dys4ia. she posted this video on youtube earlier today to provide a video spot for the 2013 independent games festival award. somehow, reddit has gotten hold of this and people are leaving HORRIBLE fatphobic and transphobic comments. if you have a minute, could you leave some comments to counteract those? anna is a strong voice for queer and trans creators in the game community and deserves recognition and support.
if you don’t know of anna’s works, here’s some links for you to get aquainted!
dys4ia, a game about her experience with hormone treatment.
calamity annie, a dyke western cowgirl love story.

She says that immigrant youth often say, “Why would I go back to the farm that my immigrant parents worked so hard to get us off of?” For young people of color, claiming direct access to food by picking up the pitchfork at a local urban farm can feel like a step backwards.

When it comes to funding, black farmers receive about one-third or less than what other farmers receive, which has resulted, Gail Myers points out, in black farmers losing their land. In fact, this asymmetry led a group of black farmers to sue the USDA for damages, claiming discriminatory treatment. The farmers agreed to a settlement, and in 1999, over 15,000 claimants received restitutions. Soon afterward, Native American, Latino, and female farmers stepped forward with their own civil rights lawsuits against the USDA.
