LOCAL POLITICS - WHY TRANSPARENCY MATTERS

A year later a bond is up for vote in North Kitsap School District. A bond worth approximately $264 million dollars. That’s right. And guess what? We are back to where we started. Despite competent and good minds working on this project, it failed to include one of our schools on Tribal lands - why?

POLÍTICA LOCAL - POR QUÉ IMPORTA LA TRANSPARENCIA

Un año después, un bono se somete a votación en el Distrito Escolar de North Kitsap. Un bono por un valor aproximado de $264 millones de dólares. Así es. ¿Y adivina qué? Estamos de vuelta donde empezamos. A pesar de que en este proyecto trabajaron mentes competentes y buenas, no se pudo incluir una de nuestras escuelas en tierras tribales. ¿Por qué?

Disforia por Andy Luján

Por más que lo intento el espejo no logra reflejar lo que percibo en mi interior,

Labios demasiado regordetes.

Caderas demasiado anchas.

Dysphoria by Andy Lujan

As hate crimes go up

Suicide rates rise

I want to hide who I am just to continue to survive.

But is surviving worth losing my identity?

Dina Martinez - a story - una historia

“My therapist presented to me the Maslow’s hierarchy needs as a way for me to understand where my restlessness originated from, but after listening to indigenous folks, I started imagining it more like a circle instead of a pyramid. Mi terapista me demostro La hirarcia de necesidades por Maslow, para poder entender el origen de mi hipervigilancia e inquietud, pero al escuchar a algunos de líderes indígenas, empecé a imaginarlo como un círculo envés de una pirámide.”

Nombres y adaptación by Diana Frazier

Hace poco le había dicho a mi papá que estaba embarazada; Esta fue mi cuarta vez. El tercer embarazo terminó en el primer trimestre y él estaba nervioso de que yo volviera a quedar embarazada. Para él, mi aborto espontáneo anterior significaba que el embarazo es peligroso y podría morir.

Names and Fitting In by Diana Frazier

I had recently told my dad I was pregnant; this was my fourth time. The third pregnancy ended in the first trimester, and he was nervous for me to be pregnant again. To him, my prior miscarriage meant pregnancy is dangerous and I could die. I was irritated at his remarks, unable to see it was his immense love for me coming through as worry. I was his baby, and he didn’t want to ever lose me.

Las escuelas públicas pertenecen a todos, excepto a aquellos que las destruirían - Avery Welkin

The truth is that in American society’s democratic ideal, public schools are for everyone. Even though the reality is that public schools were designed with a narrower focus on serving the white and wealthy, it is very clear now that this is not the goal. Public schools are one of the few spaces, along with public libraries, where American society at all socioeconomic levels, racial/ethnic identities, and abilities are welcome to learn without an expectation of spending money.
