World Naked Bike Ride & Bush Motorcade Protest

Here I am, celebrating my body and defending my dignity, on the World Naked Bike Ride.

The purpose of this ride is to

"…face automobile traffic with our naked bodies as the best way of defending our dignity and exposing the unique dangers faced by cyclists and pedestrians as well as the negative consequences we all face due to dependence on oil, and other forms of non-renewable energy."

See more pictures here. I am particularly proud of the participants' ethnic diversity; there’s a woman of color on the ride!

After the bike ride, I went up to Seattle to join the protest at Bush’s motorcade. That’s me, in the middle, standing next to my favorite PhD candidate Kathy—and look at her left hand! Yes, fuck you, you murdering monster. And fuck everyone in your motorcade. And especially fuck everyone in your motorcade who is in a Hummer.

In no place in the world do people live in as much fear of the government as in the fascist Amerikkkan theocracy. We have been silenced by these extreme right-wing stormtroopers, but we are brave, and will stand up to these terrorists who stole the White House. I weep for my community.
