There were still vans of yahoos from Jersey coming into the city in vans with their baseball bats and gaybashing- That’s when gaybashing was still happening. They would get out of the vans, a bunch of them, and they would gaybash people. They would beat people to death with their baseball bats. Usually it was one skinny little guy walking through the village, that’s when they had the pink panthers, the roving bands that would patrol neighborhoods.

In the Northeast and on the West Coast, some queer young adults have now grown up without being stigmatized as a result of their sexuality, gender identity, and presentation. The millennial generation often views AIDS as a relic of a bygone era; the rate of new HIV infections peaked in 1997 while annual AIDS deaths peaked in 2004. Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell was implemented in 1994 and repealed in 2011, while gay marriage was legalized nationally in 2015. Though today we stand near the high water mark of queer acceptance in the United States, we continue to wrestle with a government that endorses anti-queer policy, hate speech defended by educational institutions as “free speech,” and a legal climate wherein people can be fired for their gender identity and sexuality in 27 states. Queer existence is itself a radical act, even in progressive communities where a queer person’s daily existence may not suffer the aggressions of stigmatization. &nbsp; &nbsp; When the national government supports an anti-queer agenda, queer existence is itself a radical act, even in progressive communities such as San Francisco and New York City. Generationally, we are removed from the direct legacy of the queer rights movement that grew out of the Stonewall Riots, from the millions whose deaths help normalize, even embrace honestly the undeniable humanity of queer lives. Regardless of this disconnect, we share in the collective history that contextualizes our daily existence, despite the erasures that obscure its full depths. These collected experiences uncover what was before obscured, restoring pieces of the patchwork quilt of queer experience from Stonewall to today. &nbsp; &nbsp; A Queer Discourse explores the divisions between queerness’ inherent radicality and widespread acceptance, cultural transmission in the face of generational erasure, and the changing ideas of what it means to be queer, examined across multiple cultures and generations. The series utilizes a series of environmental portraits and interviews to trace threads of a narrative that runs from Stonewall into the present day. https://digikenseth.com/LEG-I-D1 Sat, 28 May 2022 01:53:38 +0000 DIGI KENSETH https://digikenseth.com/LEG-I-D1 <img width="2048" height="1152" width_o="2048" height_o="1152" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c0e77c70c8a3cb2950ee9adb221f6bc9002e4a88676007bfcbe35efc96ea7033/21-09-19_0088.jpg" data-mid="143905405" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c0e77c70c8a3cb2950ee9adb221f6bc9002e4a88676007bfcbe35efc96ea7033/21-09-19_0088.jpg" /> <img width="2048" height="1152" width_o="2048" height_o="1152" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/acfa937a2705c52adcfe6ba38678932641c40636e6178413c79c3bae7f9a800b/21-09-19_0105.jpg" data-mid="143902723" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/acfa937a2705c52adcfe6ba38678932641c40636e6178413c79c3bae7f9a800b/21-09-19_0105.jpg" /> <img width="3456" height="1944" width_o="3456" height_o="1944" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bc44b36d7f24f312079b0616b9523007619171991a155cf2e522db86477eb2f9/21-09-19_0119.jpg" data-mid="144404307" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bc44b36d7f24f312079b0616b9523007619171991a155cf2e522db86477eb2f9/21-09-19_0119.jpg" /> <img width="2048" height="1152" width_o="2048" height_o="1152" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/655da3d150d2082c8d31913d0dd17613ab55f45b138bcd99e67488d82310fe2a/21-09-19_0166.jpg" data-mid="143901728" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/655da3d150d2082c8d31913d0dd17613ab55f45b138bcd99e67488d82310fe2a/21-09-19_0166.jpg" /> I: WILLIAMSTOWN TO RUTLAND <img width="3456" height="1944" width_o="3456" height_o="1944" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c7d0010d8dbc7c15bf10643ed5ccbd979c11f4963ab6b1d6143af8586ff3891a/21-09-19_0110.jpg" data-mid="144404306" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c7d0010d8dbc7c15bf10643ed5ccbd979c11f4963ab6b1d6143af8586ff3891a/21-09-19_0110.jpg" /> <img width="3456" height="1944" width_o="3456" height_o="1944" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/abc9c741911c36173720e78fe0f8ba67c26208f36b5ce466d68113fa721458c4/21-09-19_0113.jpg" data-mid="144404684" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/abc9c741911c36173720e78fe0f8ba67c26208f36b5ce466d68113fa721458c4/21-09-19_0113.jpg" /> <img width="3456" height="1944" width_o="3456" height_o="1944" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1e59aad8e5906bcd7d738f63ebb257bb8bd28f56c7ce26fb7408604b25ff4864/21-09-19_0129.jpg" data-mid="144404309" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1e59aad8e5906bcd7d738f63ebb257bb8bd28f56c7ce26fb7408604b25ff4864/21-09-19_0129.jpg" /> <img width="3456" height="1944" width_o="3456" height_o="1944" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1a591b9a20169353406ca386a35ef0d35e4eb8111838bd70136b227fd9665c16/21-09-19_0120.jpg" data-mid="144404308" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1a591b9a20169353406ca386a35ef0d35e4eb8111838bd70136b227fd9665c16/21-09-19_0120.jpg" /> <img width="3456" height="1944" width_o="3456" height_o="1944" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2448a18195a27e3a7b0e7ca6f3a5d6f774393644c044d99ee0bb5f5513a97e40/21-09-19_0155.jpg" data-mid="144404683" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2448a18195a27e3a7b0e7ca6f3a5d6f774393644c044d99ee0bb5f5513a97e40/21-09-19_0155.jpg" /> <img width="3456" height="1944" width_o="3456" height_o="1944" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f7a92ec3f2058fbf37c3fcd53e47667eb3d044ecc1739e0e790789b682aee4df/21-09-19_0182.jpg" data-mid="144404312" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f7a92ec3f2058fbf37c3fcd53e47667eb3d044ecc1739e0e790789b682aee4df/21-09-19_0182.jpg" /> DAY 1: WILLIAMSTOWN - CONGDON Day 1: 13.6 miles, sunny/warm. I began my trek just after 09:00, making my way up along the Appalachian Trail to the Massachusetts-Vermont border. I crossed some scenic power lines, a beaver pond, and the aptly-named, viewless, Consultation Peak. I made it into camp at Congdon Shelter around 18:00, where I made dinner and conversed with Rocky, Over the Hill, and another older fellow. As the ambient twilight faded into night, I built my tent and settled into my evening’s entertainment: Andy Weir’s Project Hail Mary. <img width="3456" height="1481" width_o="3456" height_o="1481" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cbc03f3e898a112f20502016bb2cff365ace794ab7ac6ab516aef10eba564944/21-09-19_0176_Panorama.jpg" data-mid="149952959" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cbc03f3e898a112f20502016bb2cff365ace794ab7ac6ab516aef10eba564944/21-09-19_0176_Panorama.jpg" /> My tech fared OK today, though my power consumption was higher than anticipated.

Sunny/warm. I started off with a muddy 2.5 mile gentle ascent up Harmon Hill, where I was greeted by views of Bennington below. The ascent was a bit rocky, and I stopped for lunch after I crossed Route 9 at the bottom.

To my dismay, I realized as gold became grey that I had overlooked and underestimated those final miles to camp, and I found myself crashing on the final staircases approaching Glastenbury Peak. I made it to Goddard Shelter, mostly full with a larger assortment of SOBOs. I found a log and dug into my turkey jerky to lift my gloom. In the gloaming, I probed for a decent tent site and found “good enough” for the night. <img width="2592" height="3456" width_o="2592" height_o="3456" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/db72fbedefe3c0c496597d2dc0ad45ab6a5439c37fc7a720bea81da78e2d844a/LT21_iPhone_0059.jpg" data-mid="149979988" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/db72fbedefe3c0c496597d2dc0ad45ab6a5439c37fc7a720bea81da78e2d844a/LT21_iPhone_0059.jpg" /> <img width="1638" height="2048" width_o="1638" height_o="2048" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/539251b5f1f9317d2e5433e62dd185b4eff35b55994129d30a66d2a26916309f/21-09-20_0250.jpg" data-mid="144483124" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/539251b5f1f9317d2e5433e62dd185b4eff35b55994129d30a66d2a26916309f/21-09-20_0250.jpg" /> &lt;&lt;PREVIOUS//NEXT&gt;&gt; https://digikenseth.com/LEG-I-D3 Sat, 04 Jun 2022 00:21:52 +0000 DIGI KENSETH https://digikenseth.com/LEG-I-D3 DAY 3: GLASTENBURY - STORY SPRING <img width="3456" height="1481" width_o="3456" height_o="1481" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/894384be9d6a999579572f547daee8e15de9b5897c038476a793b790486a8397/21-09-21_0344.jpg" data-mid="144483189" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/894384be9d6a999579572f547daee8e15de9b5897c038476a793b790486a8397/21-09-21_0344.jpg" /> 8.9 miles. Sunny/warm.Today started out rough but ended on a higher note. This morning, my Sawyer Squeeze broke about its threads while prepping water for the day, after I burnt my breakfast— these may both be due to fatigue from yesterday. I climbed the fire tower at Glastenbury and then made my way down to Kid Gore for lunch. A trail guardian gave me his Sawyer as a backup (thank you!). It’s slow but functional. It seems they’re putting in a new privy there; I believe the construction supplies are air-dropped by helicopter or carried in on foot. Between my two Sawyers, I almost have a functional filtering system now. My filter flows well enough, but only when set in the one exact position where the remaining threads catch those of the bottle. This seal is improved by taking a trash bag and wrapping it around the joint, taking care to tightly cover the broken bit so it can form enough of a seal to function. This is reinforced with a shock tie to keep it stable enough to use. The whole process is repeated every time I filter water, several times in a row to produce 1-1.5 liters of water. The backup works consistently, but like many Sawyers after time/use, it’s in need of a thorough backwashing session to make it flow efficiently. <img width="2765" height="3456" width_o="2765" height_o="3456" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/42fad0b356e4bca94c0306de8d33a40bac3a0ecff66c99f9723472f6ae793ee8/LT21_iPhone_0060.jpg" data-mid="144509830" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/42fad0b356e4bca94c0306de8d33a40bac3a0ecff66c99f9723472f6ae793ee8/LT21_iPhone_0060.jpg" /> <img width="2765" height="3456" width_o="2765" height_o="3456" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f272262f8fb785c155acf4738367f09981fb6d5b2685d899d9abc9eced81b5ed/LT21_iPhone_0064.jpg" data-mid="144510147" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f272262f8fb785c155acf4738367f09981fb6d5b2685d899d9abc9eced81b5ed/LT21_iPhone_0064.jpg" /> <img width="3456" height="1481" width_o="3456" height_o="1481" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/295d0250a54edbd5bd5091ec0cb390db853b8332c0da378a010002669b3eb0da/21-09-21_0418-1.jpg" data-mid="146049168" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/295d0250a54edbd5bd5091ec0cb390db853b8332c0da378a010002669b3eb0da/21-09-21_0418-1.jpg" /> <img width="2765" height="3456" width_o="2765" height_o="3456" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6747d9f370ff6f956cfa30ea01fb1d201f76072cb2b606314a372351c3690837/21-09-21_0406.jpg" data-mid="144483195" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6747d9f370ff6f956cfa30ea01fb1d201f76072cb2b606314a372351c3690837/21-09-21_0406.jpg" /> <img width="3456" height="1944" width_o="3456" height_o="1944" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/90b373cc42c626fe19e3371de83d2ce8bbc467067e0626d669cfc9cb9092be6d/21-09-21_0463-1.jpg" data-mid="146049135" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/90b373cc42c626fe19e3371de83d2ce8bbc467067e0626d669cfc9cb9092be6d/21-09-21_0463-1.jpg" /> I decided to call it a shorter recovery day and made it to Story Spring around 17:00. There’s a couple dudes from Maryland and upstate NY at the camp. I have a good tenting spot nearly out of view of the shelter, but very well situated on level clear ground.

Wet/mild into sunny/warm. Morning drizzle covered my first few miles but tapered off as I began my climb up Stratton Mountain. Dense, rolling fog obscured any distant views from the summit, but my ascent passed through stunning misty vignettes, both mycological and evergreen. <img width="3456" height="1944" width_o="3456" height_o="1944" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b5601cea0a8375a3bd4f465581ed9660be1c38b6189a784d0d44f167822e9df9/21-09-22_0808.jpg" data-mid="143954222" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b5601cea0a8375a3bd4f465581ed9660be1c38b6189a784d0d44f167822e9df9/21-09-22_0808.jpg" /> I lingered at the summit, enjoying the ambiance of my misty surroundings from atop the fire tower. I took a leisurely lunch nearby, but I quickly grew chilly and began a brisk descent to Stratton Pond, where I took a quick break by the waterfront. I pushed through the last 4.5 miles through the Lye Brook Wilderness to the spur trail leading to William Douglas Shelter, arriving just before dark. I was drained: my feet hurt, I was very tired, and I had earned myself a headache for my trouble, but the day’s journey was finished. I tented outside the shelter and ate dinner over light conversation with Manchego and Boulder Patrol, both SOBOs. <img width="2765" height="3456" width_o="2765" height_o="3456" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/df78c339ee2be790364c9836091f3b4e35617d057b3ba0d5fb5bab9ecbf31011/21-09-22_0688.jpg" data-mid="143954218" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/df78c339ee2be790364c9836091f3b4e35617d057b3ba0d5fb5bab9ecbf31011/21-09-22_0688.jpg" /> <img width="2765" height="3456" width_o="2765" height_o="3456" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/736da67ca68591d381d5187c58b71a2f5b5c716d91e09495c4bda36fb61e537c/21-09-22_0763.jpg" data-mid="143954220" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/736da67ca68591d381d5187c58b71a2f5b5c716d91e09495c4bda36fb61e537c/21-09-22_0763.jpg" /> <img width="2765" height="3456" width_o="2765" height_o="3456" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7da6cc2cff9687f923b72b51dc445ed091f327905bc3c53ef8463c7b8efa2e21/21-09-22_0757.jpg" data-mid="143954219" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7da6cc2cff9687f923b72b51dc445ed091f327905bc3c53ef8463c7b8efa2e21/21-09-22_0757.jpg" /> <img width="2765" height="3456" width_o="2765" height_o="3456" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/35583bf46a26ec85fcdda16450b1a154c95d5fdfc7e8cf863c19ffaae65cef85/21-09-22_0518-1.jpg" data-mid="143954277" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/35583bf46a26ec85fcdda16450b1a154c95d5fdfc7e8cf863c19ffaae65cef85/21-09-22_0518-1.jpg" /> &lt;&lt;PREVIOUS//NEXT&gt;&gt; https://digikenseth.com/LEG-I-D5 Mon, 30 May 2022 12:39:21 +0000 DIGI KENSETH https://digikenseth.com/LEG-I-D5 DAY 5: WILLIAM DOUGLAS SHELTER - PERU PEAK SHELTER <img width="3456" height="1944" width_o="3456" height_o="1944" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6227fabc9b412164888f73f1ccb19016fa4a2fdf5ef3e76230323bba144133ed/21-09-23_0912.jpg" data-mid="144042149" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6227fabc9b412164888f73f1ccb19016fa4a2fdf5ef3e76230323bba144133ed/21-09-23_0912.jpg" /> 16 miles today, Douglas Shelter to Peru Peak Shelter. Started going up Styles peak around 16:50 and ended up making it off the mountain a little after dark. The camp is nice and I’m sharing it with a SOBO AT thruhiker (did 24 miles today, i forget his name... Midnight Dinner?) and a tarp user across the camp. My tech is using hella juice but I’m getting better at using the gopro as an effective tool (shorter clips a few mins apiece every hour- couple hours). Today pushed me hard physically and after a very rough morning I was up to the challenge. I focused on rehydrating and taking more frequent meal breaks to keep myself going strong. <img width="3456" height="1944" width_o="3456" height_o="1944" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b797013c8db4898be639b589716c8c1db4b6b4d74f1d96f754f3c3846eb214d9/21-09-23_0986.jpg" data-mid="144045094" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b797013c8db4898be639b589716c8c1db4b6b4d74f1d96f754f3c3846eb214d9/21-09-23_0986.jpg" /> <img width="3456" height="1944" width_o="3456" height_o="1944" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/22808098285b90342d1ec2e7a8a116d0d1826d7c938d9f58e000982d849d6d06/21-09-23_0929.jpg" data-mid="144045091" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/22808098285b90342d1ec2e7a8a116d0d1826d7c938d9f58e000982d849d6d06/21-09-23_0929.jpg" /> This morning I ran into Dinosaur (74M, LASH NOBO, 12 years retired). Said he camped with Jay last night at Stratford Pond. Nice guys (the both of them). Would have talked more but had to zoom onwards. Also met a helpful older couple at Spruce Peak (wife Janet and husband). The husband pointed me to the blue blaze and showed me to service.

As the noise fades away and gives way to wind, you start to feel as though you’re entering another realm. Up there, the mountain forest is nearly silent. Old pine trees with clenched roots wrap around mossy rock formations, refreshed by the intermittent waves of fog. Deeper in lie fractals of little green plants, mosses, and mushrooms. This forest is alive, and walking through you can hear its presence call out. One would be a fool to be caught there in the dark. &lt;&lt;PREVIOUS//NEXT&gt;&gt; https://digikenseth.com/LEG-I-D6 Mon, 30 May 2022 13:28:21 +0000 DIGI KENSETH https://digikenseth.com/LEG-I-D6 DAY 6: PERU PEAK SHELTER - GREENWALL SHELTER <img width="3456" height="1944" width_o="3456" height_o="1944" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1852382d93643d1603056f51b7318fef0b2a00c8da49279b82e4eb29d6bcfc27/21-09-24_1110.jpg" data-mid="144049219" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1852382d93643d1603056f51b7318fef0b2a00c8da49279b82e4eb29d6bcfc27/21-09-24_1110.jpg" /> <img width="3456" height="1944" width_o="3456" height_o="1944" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a562f03db9db24ae12fb0ae88f6b265f231f3dea0e2da988c1085c254256998c/21-09-24_1339.jpg" data-mid="144049246" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a562f03db9db24ae12fb0ae88f6b265f231f3dea0e2da988c1085c254256998c/21-09-24_1339.jpg" /> 15.4 Miles today on to Greenwall shelter. After a leisurely start, I spent the first part of the day playing hiker tag with an older gentleman named Tom as we both made our way along Griffith Lake and up the mist-wrapped Baker Peak. We ate lunch together at Lost Pond shelter, before losing each other in the postmeridian. My feet had been saturated by the day’s serving of trail soup, so I took a couple breaks for preventative maintenance before pushing onwards through the lovely, sun-dappled trail by Little Rock Pond. In the last hours of daylight, deep in a stunning coniferous forest, I ran into Midnight Dinner, who set a fast pace but got us to Greenwall just before full dark, with a little spur trail interlude to watch the sunset over the Taconic range from atop White Rocks Cliff. <img width="2765" height="3456" width_o="2765" height_o="3456"

I got onto the trail around 08:30, powering through my first 7 miles to make “brunch” at Clarendon Gorge. After Clarendon were a series of climbs up Beacon Hill, another viewless summit topped with a FAA signal tower. After making my descent, I ran into a couple offering trail magic at a road crossing near some pastures. We made some light conversation and I took a quick breather before continuing onwards into the Killington Wilderness. I ascended Killington as the day’s light faded, treated to beautiful Eastern views through the trees. I arrived at Cooper Lodge around dusk, camping near the tent platforms. A couple of day hikers present offered me a beer and we enjoyed some conversation under the brilliant stars. I set my alarm for 0500 and settled in for the evening. <img width="2765" height="3456" width_o="2765" height_o="3456" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5897b427e497227361581837af14bf50f76b634262b0ccd497ee00234226a5da/21-09-25_1484.jpg" data-mid="144054774" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5897b427e497227361581837af14bf50f76b634262b0ccd497ee00234226a5da/21-09-25_1484.jpg" /> <img width="3456" height="1944" width_o="3456" height_o="1944" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cc61dd747b6bb7ebc92bed3f028dfbd4a80ca8a19f0d25bc50f66b0022f6b886/21-09-25_1452.jpg" data-mid="144054488" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cc61dd747b6bb7ebc92bed3f028dfbd4a80ca8a19f0d25bc50f66b0022f6b886/21-09-25_1452.jpg" /> &lt;&lt;PREVIOUS//NEXT&gt;&gt;
