the worth of human life
Repre-fucking-sent.
Mabuhay, hermana.
The world keeps moving, everyone, and the upwelling of truth is everywhere. Take a listen.

Thank you so much, anonymous commenter.
I just watched this, sitting in the airport in the middle of the night. She's at the fucking UN! Her courage and presence is inspiring.
It was my absolute delight to be able to meet and talk with Sass at the International Conference on LGBT Human Rights in Copenhagen last July and also at the radical conference that immediately followed in a northern Copenhagen squat. She is a human dynamo and as completely impressed I am to see her at (as Bethiferous said) "the fucking UN!", in my heart of heart I'm not really surprised.
