Resource Guide
This year has been marked by seemingly endless horrors beyond comprehension. I'm a firm believer that doing something is better than nothing, but sometimes it can be challenging to know where to turn for help or which organizations to support if you have the funds and/or time to do so.

The LGBTQ+ impact of American Westerns on Congolese youths in the 1940s and 50s When Angolan photographer Jean Depara first turned his lens on the citizens of Kinshasa in the colonial Democratic Republic of the Congo, he captured a reality fraught with sexual, gendered, and colonial tensions. In his images, greased bodybuilders, scantily clad women, and mixed-race couples are just some of the individuals Depara happens upon. Their confidence is readily apparent, but few of t
