I preordered The Deviant’s War from our independent book store, but it won’t be delivered until mid-July. Delayed gratification and I are old friends. For now, I’ll reread my copy of Jonathan Katz’s Gay American History. I bought it at Waldenbooks some forty years ago, possibly before I’d met any other man I knew was gay. To see in those pre-Internet days that LGBT history existed and this book had been written was overwhelming. I doubt I’d have been more stunned to find porn on the shelf than I was seeing it publicly displayed. Likely the best use I’ve ever made of $3.95. I suspect I will prize Eric Cervini’s book as highly. . #JonathanKatz #GayAmericanHistory #GayKnitter #GayElders #LGBTplusPride #LGBTpride #Visibility #VisibilityMatters #LGBTplusAwareness #LGBTawareness #NotJustForJune #NotJustInJune #LGBTplusRightsAreHumanRights (at San Juan Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBl8FoTpqKt/?igshid=1frnfavxg8a2p

The sign says “blocks for sale.” People are using them to build new homes. It’s funny. Five years ago this wasn’t a neighborhood at all—it was an open desert. I remember coming out her a few months after the quake to visit the nearby Camp Corail, the first organized relocation camp for earthquake survivors, built by the UN and U.S. military to house people relocated from the Port-au-Prince tent camp overseen by Sean Penn. I discovered soon after that the plan, at least in the minds of some influential Haitians, had been to provide a labor force for garment factories that would be built out here. At the same time, then-President Preval began encouraging people to come squat on the land, keeping the factory project from moving forward. Today that boondoggle has become Canaan, which by some metrics is now one of Haiti’s largest cities, perched precariously on hillsides with homes built from the shabby cinderblock that crumbled in the quake. That people with almost nothing managed to build a new city on raw land is a triumph of resilience and ingenuity. The conditions under which it happened are a testament to the failure of Haiti’s postquake reconstruction

Whatever is or isn’t underground, the view from the top of Morne Bossa was spectacular. Rising majestically in the center of the picture are peaks of the Bonnet a L’Eveque. And if you look closely at the lefthand side, you’ll see the Citadelle Laferriere, the imposing 10,000-square-meter, 130-foot-high fortress built by thousands of laborers, many of them forced into treacherous service under the Haitian King Henri Christophe between 1805 and 1820. Haiti had just won its independence in a war against the French, British, and Spanish, and Christophe ordered the fortress built to defend against an invasion he feared Napoleon might order at any time to reclaim the once-valuable colony. That invasion never came. Today the fortress is best known as a tourist site and symbol of Haitian and black power and pride. I don’t know what King Henri would think of the plans for the mine here, but if Morne Bossa gets blasted for an open-pit goldmine, it will ruin the view.
