Native American Teens: Who We Are
In the Mix is the Emmy award winning PBS documentary series for teens.What’s it like to be a young Native American today? Teens from throughout the United States share their stories in this In the Mix special co-hosted by rap star and film actor Litefoot. Shot around the country, the program features a champion lacrosse player from western New York, a Grammy-nominated flute player from rural Idaho, and short films made by teens in Alaska and Washington State. A group of young leaders from cities and reservations also weigh in on the issues that affect them every day—common misconceptions and stereotypes about Native Americans, how they balance traditional culture with contemporary concerns, and their hopes for the future.

Please forgive me if this is a question that has already been answered by a post I've missed on Autostraddle or in reply to a question asked by another Tumblrer, but I was wondering, whatever happened to the website update? I haven't heard any news about it for quite some time (unless, like I said, I've missed it).
turns out that having one human code an entire website is a really long process! we just finished our last round of QA testing, and you can look forward to the debut of the new website within the next few/several weeks. we don’t have a hard launch date yet… but soon! very soon!

This Childhood Brought To You By Nintendo
Welcome to the fifty-fourth installment of Queer Your Tech with Fun, Autostraddle’s nerdy tech…
When I was in middle school, I finally came to terms with my parents’ divorce and I said it out loud one night, “everything happens for a reason,” and I believed it, for the first time. And I have ever since then - even when I was unemployed, even when I was broke, even when I was undervalued and invisible, even when I was heartbroken, even now. I believe very much that my childhood happened for a reason, and that what it gave me was greater than what it stole. I believe that my success isn’t about “overcoming” who I was, or what raised me, but rather that it hinges on it; I believe that when you grow up with nothing you realize the goal is never money, the happiness is never money.
The money is, and always has been, a lie. And it’s never gonna change me.

For this week’s profile we have one of your very own: Ms. Dr. Joseph L. Simonis, Autostraddler, roller derby player, and population ecologist at the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago.
This is person is a skater in my league and someone I am honored to call friend. She is as awesome in person as she is in this article.
It’s not just about the fact that she falls in love with another girl, but what Utena Tenjou does for those of us who never played by society’s gender rules.
It’s a beautiful day when one of my favorite websites talks about one of my all time favorite animes.
