Everything that follows is meant to place us inside Donny’s head. As he tells us about her, we can’t help but see her as he does: A sad, fat, pitiable middle-aged woman who’s clearly lying about her life. She’s not the high-powered lawyer she says she is — if she were, surely she could afford to buy a drink. And why would she spend all those potentially billable hours bellied up at Donny’s bar whenever he’s working a shift? And why would she proceed to send him thousands of unhinged text messages and stalk him, his girlfriend, and his family?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Right, we think. We know what we’re in for: \u003cem>Baby Reindeer \u003c/em>is the story of one hapless young man getting cruelly stalked by a mentally ill woman, who, it turns out, has a history, and a criminal record, for doing so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eafm1gB6SCM\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moreover, it’s a true story.

It turns out Donny is a struggling would-be comedian; we watch a series of his cringeworthy sets before sparse, stone-faced audiences. He seems depressed and friendless — his work colleagues at the bar are hostile louts; he’s living with his ex-girlfriend’s mother on the outskirts of London.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plus there’s the nagging fact that while Donny may not actively \u003cem>encourage \u003c/em>Martha’s fawning attention, he is awfully passive about shutting down her determination that they could get together, even as she grows more insistent, and more threatening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, as the cop asks him at the start of the first episode.

It’s where the conventional and familiar trappings of dark comedy and psychological thriller fall away to reveal the show’s true, beating heart: Sexual abuse, and its lingering aftermath.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It isn’t until episode four that we learn that five years before Martha entered his life, Donny met a successful television writer named Darrien (Tom Goodman-Hill) who gave him career advice, promised to set him up with opportunities, and supplied him with drugs. During those sessions, while Donny was helpless to stop him, Darrien would sexually abuse him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13954702']This, the series proceeds to argue — far too tidily — is the answer to everything. It’s why Donny became the depressed, self-loathing man we’ve come to know. It’s why his comedy career stalled. It’s why he’s since chosen to degrade himself by having meaningless sex with both men and women, doing more drugs, and by developing an interest in “extreme” pornography.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s also, of course — or so the show would have us believe — why he was so disarmed and flattered by the attention Martha gave him, which seems (compared to the drug-filled sexual cesspits he once frequented) pure and wholesome and, not for nothing, reassuringly straight. At one point Donny guiltily admits to us that, at his very lowest point, he even started to find Martha — imagine that! a \u003cem>fat \u003c/em>woman! — sexually arousing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"npr-pull-quote\">\n\u003ch2>The series repeatedly and clumsily conflates the horror of abuse with the simple fact of queer sexuality.\u003c/h2>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>It’s this aspect of \u003cem>Baby Reindeer\u003c/em> — Gadd/Donny’s ultimate willingness to confront his abuse and explore its aftereffects — which has earned the show its most fulsome praise from critics and audiences. But in practice, the series repeatedly and clumsily conflates the horror of abuse with the simple fact of queer sexuality. Purely for dramatic purposes, \u003cem>Baby Reindeer\u003c/em> implies that Donny’s sexuality conforms to the laws of cause (the abuse) and effect (queerness). Worse, it does so in a way that seems specifically designed to reassure those audiences who believe queerness is something that happens \u003cem>to \u003c/em>people, something that can be triggered from the outside.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Catching queerness like a cold\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Let me be clear: \u003cem>Baby Reindeer\u003c/em> is not making any kind of broad sexual/political case that same-sex abuse leads its victims to experience same-sex desire. Neither is it saying that all putatively straight men who get sexually abused by other men will henceforth be attracted to trans women.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13953601']But it does want us to believe — in fact it entirely \u003cem>depends \u003c/em>upon us believing — that \u003cem>Donny\u003c/em>, for one, experienced same-sex desire only after his abuse — desire it goes out of its way to depict as filthy and degrading. It does, too, want us to believe that \u003cem>Donny \u003c/em>failed to make any romantic connections with women or men after his abuse — until he met Teri (Nava Mau) on a trans dating site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gadd himself identifies as bisexual, which makes it all the more puzzling and frustrating that, again and again, the series takes absurd pains to present Donny as someone who is not at all like the kinds of queer folk who (shudder!) willingly have sex with each other and (shock horror!) use recreational drugs and (gasp!) watch porn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rest assured, straight audiences: Donny’s queer sexuality was something forced upon him — a fact that his stoic father (Mark Lewis Jones) understands and underscores because, as he tearfully explains to his son, “I grew up in the Catholic Church.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a jaw-dropping scene, but not for the reason it wants to be. It’s meant as a moment of startling honesty and searing empathy between father and son.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It plays like a tasteless, homophobic joke.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Sticking the dismount\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>For all its queasy discomfort with, and prissy diffidence about queer sexuality, there is one thing \u003cem>Baby Reindee\u003c/em>r gets absolutely, hauntingly right: Its ending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the series concludes, Martha has been jailed for stalking Donny. In a thinner, less resonant series, our hero would take this as an unalloyed victory, as vindication. But smartly, Gadd shows us a Donny who has acknowledged his abuse but has only begun to effectively deal with it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Donny, instead, wallows. He walks the streets, playing Martha’s tender/terrifying voicemails in his headphones. He sets out to confront his abuser, only to cave and accept a job working for him. He shambles through his life alone, until he enters a pub (\u003cem>Man walks into a bar\u003c/em>) and realizes he can’t pay for his drink. The handsome bartender comps him out of pity, just as Donny did to Martha in the first episode. The end.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>… OK, that pity-drink callback at the very end is a bit on-the-nose, but the series’ refusal to afford Donny a clear, uncomplicated, once-and-for-all victory is a smart one. Had the series ended with a sense of triumph and finality, it would have been dramatically satisfying but emotionally dishonest. Human psychology is more complex than that, and the damage done by abuse more insidious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13953497']When we leave him, Donny is still trapped by his past, because he hasn’t yet done the work he needs to do. He still believes he deserves to be trapped, defined, by what happened to him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the series plants the seeds for the change that we know is coming: When he’s alone in that room of his, he’s turning his experience into the one-man show that will become \u003cem>Baby Reindeer\u003c/em>. It’s that process of transmutation and creation that will ultimately allow him to process his abuse and turn it into something that engages with the wider world, and grant him the ability, finally, to heal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maybe, in the process, he will manage to move past finding other queer folk and fat people disgusting. \u003cem>Baby Reindeer\u003c/em> suggests that Richard Gadd hasn’t quite managed to do that, yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But I’m holding out hope for Donny.\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"The new series, based on creator Richard Gadd's one-man show, depicts queer sexuality as something that happens TO people.","status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1714081090,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":true,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":31,"wordCount":1560},"headData":{"title":"A Queer Analysis of Dark Netflix Series, ‘Baby Reindeer’ | KQED","description":"The new series, based on creator Richard Gadd's one-man show, depicts queer sexuality as something that happens TO people.","ogTitle":"Netflix’s ‘Baby Reindeer’: A Dark, Haunting Story Bungles its Depiction of Queerness","ogDescription":"","ogImgId":"","twTitle":"Netflix’s ‘Baby Reindeer’: A Dark, Haunting Story Bungles its Depiction of Queerness","twDescription":"","twImgId":"","socialTitle":"A Queer Analysis of Dark Netflix Series, ‘Baby Reindeer’ %%page%% %%sep%% KQED","schema":{"@context":"http://schema.org","@type":"Article","headline":"Netflix’s ‘Baby Reindeer’: A Dark, Haunting Story Bungles its Depiction of Queerness","datePublished":"2024-04-25T21:38:10.000Z","dateModified":"2024-04-25T21:38:10.000Z","image":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KQED-OG-Image@1x.png"}},"sticky":false,"nprStoryId":"1247130712","nprHtmlLink":"https://www.npr.org/2024/04/25/1247130712/baby-reindeer-review-netflix","nprRetrievedStory":"1","nprPubDate":"2024-04-25T11:32:00-04:00","nprStoryDate":"2024-04-25T11:32:00-04:00","nprLastModifiedDate":"2024-04-25T11:32:00-04:00","templateType":"standard","featuredImageType":"standard","excludeFromSiteSearch":"Include","articleAge":"0","path":"/arts/13956676/baby-reindeer-netflix-review-problematic-abuse-lgbt-queerness","audioTrackLength":null,"parsedContent":[{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Note: You can’t really talk about this series without discussing a major revelation that occurs in episode four of its seven-episode season.

It’s why Donny became the depressed, self-loathing man we’ve come to know. It’s why his comedy career stalled.

At one point Donny guiltily admits to us that, at his very lowest point, he even started to find Martha — imagine that! a \u003cem>fat \u003c/em>woman! — sexually arousing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"npr-pull-quote\">\n\u003ch2>The series repeatedly and clumsily conflates the horror of abuse with the simple fact of queer sexuality.\u003c/h2>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>It’s this aspect of \u003cem>Baby Reindeer\u003c/em> — Gadd/Donny’s ultimate willingness to confront his abuse and explore its aftereffects — which has earned the show its most fulsome praise from critics and audiences. But in practice, the series repeatedly and clumsily conflates the horror of abuse with the simple fact of queer sexuality. Purely for dramatic purposes, \u003cem>Baby Reindeer\u003c/em> implies that Donny’s sexuality conforms to the laws of cause (the abuse) and effect (queerness).

He walks the streets, playing Martha’s tender/terrifying voicemails in his headphones. He sets out to confront his abuser, only to cave and accept a job working for him. He shambles through his life alone, until he enters a pub (\u003cem>Man walks into a bar\u003c/em>) and realizes he can’t pay for his drink. The handsome bartender comps him out of pity, just as Donny did to Martha in the first episode.

It’s been the living room for so many people, not just in the neighborhood, but across the country. During the ’60s, it really started off as a leather bar, and then really became more of a Western bar. But it quickly evolved into a place where everyone felt welcome — whether it be women, queers, hair fairies or trans people. So many different groups and communities feel welcome at the Stud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My favorite story of the Stud is that during the ’60s … Huey Newton, who was one of the leaders of the Black Panther Party, made this incredible speech where he talked about building unity between the women’s movement and the LGBTQ movement. One of the first places that the LGBTQ Liberation Front and the Black Panther Party actually met was at the Stud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Stud has faced several closures in the past. And every time that idea became more of a reality, it sounds like community members who really care about the bar came together to keep it alive. In 2016, when the previous owner was going to retire, you and other artists, DJs and performers got together and started the Stud Collective. As I understand it, it’s one of the first co-op nightclubs in the country. How has this collective model made a difference as you get ready to open the state again?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was sort of, I don’t want to say an act of desperation, but so many LGBTQ nightlife venues were closing all across the country, and especially here in San Francisco. LGBTQ venues were being priced out. Certainly, that was the case with the Stud, where the previous owner was just like, “I can’t afford to pay triple what I was paying in rent. So I can’t do this anymore.” And he really made a callout to the community, hoping that someone would come and save the Stud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Stud has always been kind of a dive bar \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">— \u003c/span>more of a community space than a big moneymaker.

It was lots of long nights, lots of arguments, lots of personalities and ideas.

It’s been the living room for so many people, not just in the neighborhood, but across the country. During the ’60s, it really started off as a leather bar, and then really became more of a Western bar. But it quickly evolved into a place where everyone felt welcome — whether it be women, queers, hair fairies or trans people. So many different groups and communities feel welcome at the Stud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My favorite story of the Stud is that during the ’60s … Huey Newton, who was one of the leaders of the Black Panther Party, made this incredible speech where he talked about building unity between the women’s movement and the LGBTQ movement. One of the first places that the LGBTQ Liberation Front and the Black Panther Party actually met was at the Stud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Stud has faced several closures in the past. And every time that idea became more of a reality, it sounds like community members who really care about the bar came together to keep it alive. In 2016, when the previous owner was going to retire, you and other artists, DJs and performers got together and started the Stud Collective. As I understand it, it’s one of the first co-op nightclubs in the country. How has this collective model made a difference as you get ready to open the state again?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was sort of, I don’t want to say an act of desperation, but so many LGBTQ nightlife venues were closing all across the country, and especially here in San Francisco. LGBTQ venues were being priced out. Certainly, that was the case with the Stud, where the previous owner was just like, “I can’t afford to pay triple what I was paying in rent. So I can’t do this anymore.” And he really made a callout to the community, hoping that someone would come and save the Stud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Stud has always been kind of a dive bar \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">— \u003c/span>more of a community space than a big moneymaker.

I wasn’t on the internet like that, so I reached out on my little computer, actually probably I had a library computer, and tried to figure out who was going from our crews.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">There were two spots and, or maybe three spots, and me and a couple friends, who also used to live here in Oakland, we all, we grabbed those spots out of many people ‘cause of our charisma and good looks, I imagine. And so we all got down to Guatemala, however we got down there, and, uh, jumped onto, into these workshops. People had brought their boats, there was people from Spain, people from Canada,\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I really got to see the ocean in a very specific way through sailing. And we were going from Rio Dulce to the Las Islas de la Bahia in Honduras. I forget which one. I think it was Utila. And the boat just fell apart in the storm. Like, the tiller, which is how you control the rudder of the boat, just snapped off. Everything just fell apart and we had to limp back. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And they were like, “Oh, I’m so sorry. Like, this was supposed to be really cool for you.” And I was so seasick. This was the first, I was like throwing up everywhere. I couldn’t keep food down. It was four days of just trying to get to this place that was not far away. And I, we got back to land and like, “We understand if you want to get off,” and I just looked at them and I was like, ‘That was the most amazing thing I’ve ever done in my life.’ \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[Music]\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Pen Harshaw: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">You said you had come in contact with an eel..\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Adonis: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Right, so eventually, we finally made it to Utila. We had to go back, because we were eventually going to go up to Cuba and I think this was 2012. And, um, from where, where I’m from, if you’re in Maine, if you are in the ocean, it’s probably because you fell in and you’ll maybe die there. You just don’t do that. There’s a lot of sailors there. They’re like, “No, no, no, we don’t go swimming here, that’s how you die.” And so I had that in my head, that’s what would happen.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">We get to the Bay Islands and they’re like, oh, we’re going scuba or not scuba diving, uh, “We’re going snorkeling.” \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[Chuckles]\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> And I was like, ‘That sounds boring.’ And they’re like, “Oh no, we just crossed this really razor sharp reef over here in our flippers walking backwards. And then you jump in and it’s really beautiful.” \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[chuckles] \u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And, uh, they finally convinced me. I put on these flippers and so I flopped in, and the reef is just this like, It felt iridescent. The sun was coming through the water. There was just colors everywhere, fish flying around my face. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Um, I looked down and there’s this emerald pile of something on the ground. I’m like, ‘What is that?’ I knew I could dive a little bit. And so, I dove down as deep as I could. And I got close enough and I was like, ‘Oh, that’s a moray eel.’ It was a, like, 15 to 20-foot long moray eel and it had a head that was maybe the size of my own head and it was opening its mouth up and down, up and down with these razor sharp teeth and I was so enamored with this beautiful thing in front of me. I just put my face into it and I stared at it.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I don’t even know how long I had been down there for. So we go back up, and they’re like, “What the hell are you doing down there?” And I was like, ‘Did you guys see that?’ They were like, “Yeah, and that thing could bite you. Like, you just don’t do that.” But I was so enthralled, and I was like, I can’t stop. And so for the days that we were there still repairing our boats, every day I went down there to just look at things. And from that day forward, um, my life became sailboats. And then after that, I would sail for about four years, having my own vessel, um, going up to Alaska and fishing up there, uh, going, taking other people’s boats to Cuba back in the day and helping people get down to Panama, going through Panama canal, all over. So that’s really how it all began. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Pen Harshaw: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">It could almost seem conflicting to some, where it’s like, wait, you fell in love with the eel specifically, the fish, and then you in turn become a hunter and later become a fisherman. And what, what’s the connection between the two? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Adonis:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> I was on these boats with these really amazing women who were sailors, and they all sailed together. They would go to different parts of the world, meet back up, and these women were like, I was like, ‘what do you guys do for work?’ And they were like, “Oh, we are commercial fishermen in Alaska.” And I was like, ‘So I can just go up there and make thousands of dollars salmon fishing?’ And they were like, “This is the best kept secret. You should come up there and we’ll help you get a job.”\u003c/span> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So these women actually helped place me into these positions.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I know Native folks, and I know a couple of like, uh, Black folks, even that came up from Oakland in the 70s that fished up there. But people who were actually running boats or crew, it’s very rare to see people of color up there. And so there’s a whole lineage of Filipinos that were up there in this cannery, which I now fish for. There’s actually a little hut that’s called San Paquita and Caul and that’s where all the Filipinos would hang out at. Um, and it’s still there to this day, and there’s graffiti all over it in this old cannery. And it also has this very huge connection to my life and understanding my own identity. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I was adopted from Cebu City.\u003c/span> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I didn’t feel like I had this connection, right? I was like, oh, I don’t know how to speak these languages. I don’t know what my people were doing. I don’t feel connected to my bloodline. And so to have that all tied back together with, I mean, our people were sailors, how did we get there?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can look at the Bajau people. Those people are spearfishing. They make their own goggles, they were making their own flippers out of whatever they had around, and they were diving down there for 5, 6, 7, 8, 10 minutes getting food. And they’re still more or less nomadic people that live on boats in the Philippines.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">As I was doing these things, I was like, ‘Oh, this is what my people did. Oh, I can sail. Oh, I know how to fish,’ like, these are skills and talents that live in my blood. And so I created that, like, art from that, just even, like, the art of sailing, knowing how to sail well, and knowing how to fish well, and knowing how to create lures, and knowing how to cast nets. That lives in my body and so I get to express it. Even though I’m not in the Philippines, it was beautiful to feel like I could integrate my mind and body into skills that I feel my people were amazing at. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Pen Harshaw:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> That common thread of things that are, that have been present in your ancestors showing up through you through multiple ways, you have a wide array of talents and fishing is just one of them\u003c/span> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">and you’re deeply involved in the community and a number of different groups. I wanted to bring the discussion to the work that you do in Oakland in the nightlife and, and your involvement in it. And so if we could get a little bit of background on yourself as a DJ, tell me about that. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Adonis: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">What was cool about that is that I met this person, and we decided to make art together. And so we created We Are The Ones We’ve Been Waiting For. And\u003c/span> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I started working here as a wardrobe stylist and set design, um, when I came to the Bay Area. And so, I would use those skills I was learning in the commercial world, in the commercial industries, and bring it to We Are the Ones, which was highlighting the narratives of, um, Black and brown trans folks in the bay. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Over the three to five years that We Are The Ones was organizing together, um, we just had some really beautiful parties, a lot of amazing people came through who are now, like, doing really well out here in nightlife. And so now I’m with Club ABlunt, which stands for \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[chuckles]\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Asian, Black, Latinos, United with Native Tribes. And that was a collective that my very good friend, Melanique Robichaud, or Black, she started with these other women in the 90s, in the early 90s. And so once We Are The Ones went its direction and a few of us went another direction, and so it’s now me and, uh, Aura and DJ Brown Amy and Black who are working together to do a very similar, similar thing. it just feels like we’re now out of the underground and we’re, we’ve been at the Oakland museum at the, I’m going to be representing then at the SF library.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">We’ve been able to pull much bigger, uh, artists as well. People want it. Like, we had Susie Analog at Counterpulse for Oakland Pride and so it’s been really beautiful to feel united on a, on a more global front.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Pen Harshaw:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> So much about Oakland in general, specifically downtown Oakland, the nightlife scene-how would you describe what’s going on right now in Oakland’s queer nightlife scene for folks of color?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Adonis: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">You know, so I feel like I took off a year and a half from going out, and I was like, okay, I’m gonna work on some other projects. It’s been really beautiful to reintegrate into nightlife because, and especially into queer and gay nightlife, which is something that I hadn’t really done. I was creating those events for people, and now I’m going to other people’s events at bars that I really had never spent time in. So, like, I mean, The Port’s about to close down, or like, going to the White Horse, or going to Fluid, which is a new place that’s doing really well. It’s really beautiful and seeing that just proliferate. Because a lot of the times I’m like, ‘SF actually doesn’t really care about us.’ SF feels really gatekeep-y and it’s just pulling all this talent from other parts of the world when there’s so much talent here in the Bay. It’s so nice to see this talent in Oakland.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Pen Harshaw: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I’m noticing this common thread of community and it brings me to wonder, like, when you think of the concept of belonging, what comes to mind?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Adonis: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I guess, as an adoptee, again, I didn’t feel like I belonged. But I feel like I just had to kind of alter my mindset. And be like, I do belong, and I can be here with you, can you be here with me? And when we ask these questions, and I think we really have to look internally and accept ourselves and love ourselves, to know that if anything, we belong where we are.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And no one can take that away from you. They can try, and they will and it gets violent, but no- I think that’s why we even choose to fight back, is because we understand we belong. And that’s why I do the work that I do, or even just be kind to people because I’m like, ‘You belong and your life should also be filled with ease and grace.’\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Pen Harshaw: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">When I think about, you said like, it’s a way of fighting, you literally are trained in martial arts as well. And even through that further community, further sense of belonging, maybe we could start with, um, what led you to martial arts and then we could talk about belonging in that as well.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Adonis: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I mean I danced for a very long time in my life. I played instruments and I think all of those things are connected to the soul of just, you know, being Cebuano, being Visayan, and so I was like, ‘I’m gonna find another art,’ and so I chose-I was like, oh, I’ll try martial arts. So I went on the internet. There wasn’t many places I found, but one stood out, which was called Eskabodan. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">When I first walked in, I knew it was a place I belonged to. The school was doing really well at the time on Polk Street and so I stayed. I still train with Grandmaster Kastor today, and he is also a legend. I mean, and now I’m training for my second degree black belt. And I also am assisting him in teaching when we travel to Europe.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">It’s been really beautiful to feel another, another type of community here that is very Filipino and very rooted in a Filipino art and very rooted in martial arts. It’s like dancing and it’s a total meditation, which makes me feel really calm and it makes me feel confident.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And so when I’m in a place that I think at one point that I would have felt nervous about being in, for my own safety of my body or emotional safety or whatever. I can remind myself that I can be calm and I can remember that I do belong here and that I don’t really have to be afraid.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[Music]\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Adonis:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> I was in Paris actually, coming back from a seminar that we were teaching and, uh, some young kid ripped, tried to rip my necklace off of my, off of my body. And I have never had to use any of my skills that way. And I just remember my knee jerk reaction was to grab them, twist, twist their wrists in a certain way, and then I saw, I saw it. I saw all the openings. I saw where I could have caused this person harm, or taken them out in a certain way. And all I did was I just like, put them on the ground.\u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> [laughs] \u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And I was like, ‘That’s mine. Please give it back,’ and he did. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Like, time felt like it slowed down, and I was like, oh, this is what I do this for. I do this so I can protect myself, and I can also protect my friends, and I can be confident in the world, which is what I feel like a lot of the work that I’ve done in general is about. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Pen Harshaw: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">That’s beautiful, because I’m watching my daughter do martial arts now and I’m like, ‘I wonder will this actually sink in,’ you know? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Adonis:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> It really sinks in. And once it sinks in, it feels like, you can only learn, it’s, it’s like a lesson in life. There’s always more to learn, but the stuff that you learn is priceless and it will always be with you.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Pen Harshaw: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The folks who raised you, your parents, what do they think of your journey, of all the skills that you’ve acquired, all the places that you’ve been, this person that you’ve become? Do they appreciate all of that?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Adonis:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> They do. They’ve always loved me and told me that I was doing a great job. You know, so I was raised by white people, and so I feel like they have this thing where they’re like, “You can do whatever you want in the world.” And so I was told that and, you know, I actually really appreciate that from them.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I mean a lot of my friends, they were told that they were basically demons and-for being queer or gay or being trans or whatever and just demonized for their beliefs or kicked out of their house. My parents would never have done that to me. I didn’t even know parents were like that ‘cause my parents weren’t like that. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Now just through the traditions that I practice and the ways that I view the world. I understand, even though they’re not my birth parents, but both my birth parents and my adoptive parents are the most important things-that they, one my birth parents brought me into the world and then these people raised me. Now I appreciate them, and they have, and what I realize is that they have always loved and appreciated me. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Pen Harshaw:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> All of the things that you do from the martial arts to the fishing, DJing, community building, if there were a way to succinctly tie them all together, how would you explain what the common thread is?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Adonis:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> I believe as an artist I have this very specific desire to live in a very specific way. And at first it was the thrill of traveling and then the thrill of creating art, and then the thrill of learning, and then the, uh, and just having this lust for experience.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I want other people to be able to experience life this way if they want to. I have allowed myself to do that, and I also believe that you should do that. And so, when we get together, what does that look like? Or, like, let’s talk about it, let’s sing about it, let’s write about it, let’s draw about it, let’s what, how do we feel alive? There’s something there that is, like, about living to me. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[Music]\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Pen Harshaw: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">It seems to be the thread of my life right now is that, you know, you have one life, but there are many lives to be lived within it and you are another example of that. And so, yeah, thank you. Thank you for that reminder.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Pen Harshaw: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Seriously, thank you.Thank you, thank you, thank you. Big shoutout to Adonis, I appreciate your wisdom and it’s extremely clear that your many experiences have shaped your ability to find and build community wherever you go.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">For more info on queer nightlife in Oakland, Club ABLUNT’s instagram account is clubablunt510.

While our team has reviewed it, there may be errors.\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Pendarvis Harshaw, Host: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Welcome to Rightnowish, it’s your host, Pendarvis Harshaw. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ok, we all know that one person who has a damn good life story to tell. You know, that one person who has seen some wild things and has had some extraordinary experiences, someone like today’s guest. Their name is Adonis.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Adonis is a deep sea diver, a nightclub DJ, a commercial fisherman, and a highly-trained martial artIst, plus they also have a day job. Still, through all of these experiences, they have the ability to find community anywhere, be it in a sea of people in a crowded club or literally in the middle of the ocean. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">When it comes to the Bay Area, Adonis has participated in collectives that have been influential in Oakland’s vibrant, queer nightlife. Each one brings much-needed representation and exposure for queer, BIPOC DJs and performers.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Adonis told me some amazing stories about exploration, friendship, and getting connected to the roots of their Filipino identity. I invite you all to enjoy this ride, right after this message.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Pendarvis Harshaw:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> You have this wonderful story of your fascination with the ocean and the seafaring creatures of the world. Where does it all begin? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Adonis, Guest:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> I really think a big part of this story, for me, is being an adoptee. Uh, my parents were from Maine, or, and they live there now. And so I went to Maine, and I started to be a bit rebellious, they might say. And so there was a punk scene in Maine, it got me traveling around. I had lived in Guatemala in Quetzaltenango. I was going to this school called Proyecto Lingüístico de Quetzalteco.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">There had been a post online. It was called riseup.net, which is what all the anarchists use. It was encrypted, uh, encrypted email. And so there was a group that I had been in at the time, which was for women and trans women and non binary folks to connect around shared interests of travel, punk, whatever, music. And so, there was a call out that there was an anarchist sailing meetup in, uh, Rio Dulce, in Guatemala. I wasn’t on the internet like that, so I reached out on my little computer, actually probably I had a library computer, and tried to figure out who was going from our crews.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">There were two spots and, or maybe three spots, and me and a couple friends, who also used to live here in Oakland, we all, we grabbed those spots out of many people ‘cause of our charisma and good looks, I imagine. And so we all got down to Guatemala, however we got down there, and, uh, jumped onto, into these workshops. People had brought their boats, there was people from Spain, people from Canada,\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I really got to see the ocean in a very specific way through sailing. And we were going from Rio Dulce to the Las Islas de la Bahia in Honduras. I forget which one. I think it was Utila. And the boat just fell apart in the storm. Like, the tiller, which is how you control the rudder of the boat, just snapped off. Everything just fell apart and we had to limp back. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And they were like, “Oh, I’m so sorry. Like, this was supposed to be really cool for you.” And I was so seasick. This was the first, I was like throwing up everywhere. I couldn’t keep food down. It was four days of just trying to get to this place that was not far away. And I, we got back to land and like, “We understand if you want to get off,” and I just looked at them and I was like, ‘That was the most amazing thing I’ve ever done in my life.’ \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[Music]\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Pen Harshaw: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">You said you had come in contact with an eel..\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Adonis: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Right, so eventually, we finally made it to Utila. We had to go back, because we were eventually going to go up to Cuba and I think this was 2012. And, um, from where, where I’m from, if you’re in Maine, if you are in the ocean, it’s probably because you fell in and you’ll maybe die there. You just don’t do that. There’s a lot of sailors there. They’re like, “No, no, no, we don’t go swimming here, that’s how you die.” And so I had that in my head, that’s what would happen.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">We get to the Bay Islands and they’re like, oh, we’re going scuba or not scuba diving, uh, “We’re going snorkeling.” \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[Chuckles]\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> And I was like, ‘That sounds boring.’ And they’re like, “Oh no, we just crossed this really razor sharp reef over here in our flippers walking backwards. And then you jump in and it’s really beautiful.” \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[chuckles] \u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And, uh, they finally convinced me. I put on these flippers and so I flopped in, and the reef is just this like, It felt iridescent. The sun was coming through the water. There was just colors everywhere, fish flying around my face. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Um, I looked down and there’s this emerald pile of something on the ground. I’m like, ‘What is that?’ I knew I could dive a little bit. And so, I dove down as deep as I could. And I got close enough and I was like, ‘Oh, that’s a moray eel.’ It was a, like, 15 to 20-foot long moray eel and it had a head that was maybe the size of my own head and it was opening its mouth up and down, up and down with these razor sharp teeth and I was so enamored with this beautiful thing in front of me. I just put my face into it and I stared at it.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I don’t even know how long I had been down there for. So we go back up, and they’re like, “What the hell are you doing down there?” And I was like, ‘Did you guys see that?’ They were like, “Yeah, and that thing could bite you. Like, you just don’t do that.” But I was so enthralled, and I was like, I can’t stop. And so for the days that we were there still repairing our boats, every day I went down there to just look at things. And from that day forward, um, my life became sailboats. And then after that, I would sail for about four years, having my own vessel, um, going up to Alaska and fishing up there, uh, going, taking other people’s boats to Cuba back in the day and helping people get down to Panama, going through Panama canal, all over. So that’s really how it all began. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Pen Harshaw: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">It could almost seem conflicting to some, where it’s like, wait, you fell in love with the eel specifically, the fish, and then you in turn become a hunter and later become a fisherman. And what, what’s the connection between the two? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Adonis:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> I was on these boats with these really amazing women who were sailors, and they all sailed together. They would go to different parts of the world, meet back up, and these women were like, I was like, ‘what do you guys do for work?’ And they were like, “Oh, we are commercial fishermen in Alaska.” And I was like, ‘So I can just go up there and make thousands of dollars salmon fishing?’ And they were like, “This is the best kept secret. You should come up there and we’ll help you get a job.”\u003c/span> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So these women actually helped place me into these positions.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I know Native folks, and I know a couple of like, uh, Black folks, even that came up from Oakland in the 70s that fished up there. But people who were actually running boats or crew, it’s very rare to see people of color up there. And so there’s a whole lineage of Filipinos that were up there in this cannery, which I now fish for. There’s actually a little hut that’s called San Paquita and Caul and that’s where all the Filipinos would hang out at. Um, and it’s still there to this day, and there’s graffiti all over it in this old cannery. And it also has this very huge connection to my life and understanding my own identity. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I was adopted from Cebu City.\u003c/span> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I didn’t feel like I had this connection, right? I was like, oh, I don’t know how to speak these languages. I don’t know what my people were doing. I don’t feel connected to my bloodline. And so to have that all tied back together with, I mean, our people were sailors, how did we get there?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can look at the Bajau people. Those people are spearfishing. They make their own goggles, they were making their own flippers out of whatever they had around, and they were diving down there for 5, 6, 7, 8, 10 minutes getting food. And they’re still more or less nomadic people that live on boats in the Philippines.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">As I was doing these things, I was like, ‘Oh, this is what my people did. Oh, I can sail. Oh, I know how to fish,’ like, these are skills and talents that live in my blood. And so I created that, like, art from that, just even, like, the art of sailing, knowing how to sail well, and knowing how to fish well, and knowing how to create lures, and knowing how to cast nets. That lives in my body and so I get to express it. Even though I’m not in the Philippines, it was beautiful to feel like I could integrate my mind and body into skills that I feel my people were amazing at. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Pen Harshaw:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> That common thread of things that are, that have been present in your ancestors showing up through you through multiple ways, you have a wide array of talents and fishing is just one of them\u003c/span> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">and you’re deeply involved in the community and a number of different groups. I wanted to bring the discussion to the work that you do in Oakland in the nightlife and, and your involvement in it. And so if we could get a little bit of background on yourself as a DJ, tell me about that. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Adonis: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">What was cool about that is that I met this person, and we decided to make art together. And so we created We Are The Ones We’ve Been Waiting For. And\u003c/span> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I started working here as a wardrobe stylist and set design, um, when I came to the Bay Area. And so, I would use those skills I was learning in the commercial world, in the commercial industries, and bring it to We Are the Ones, which was highlighting the narratives of, um, Black and brown trans folks in the bay. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Over the three to five years that We Are The Ones was organizing together, um, we just had some really beautiful parties, a lot of amazing people came through who are now, like, doing really well out here in nightlife. And so now I’m with Club ABlunt, which stands for \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[chuckles]\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Asian, Black, Latinos, United with Native Tribes. And that was a collective that my very good friend, Melanique Robichaud, or Black, she started with these other women in the 90s, in the early 90s. And so once We Are The Ones went its direction and a few of us went another direction, and so it’s now me and, uh, Aura and DJ Brown Amy and Black who are working together to do a very similar, similar thing. it just feels like we’re now out of the underground and we’re, we’ve been at the Oakland museum at the, I’m going to be representing then at the SF library.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">We’ve been able to pull much bigger, uh, artists as well. People want it. Like, we had Susie Analog at Counterpulse for Oakland Pride and so it’s been really beautiful to feel united on a, on a more global front.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Pen Harshaw:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> So much about Oakland in general, specifically downtown Oakland, the nightlife scene-how would you describe what’s going on right now in Oakland’s queer nightlife scene for folks of color?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Adonis: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">You know, so I feel like I took off a year and a half from going out, and I was like, okay, I’m gonna work on some other projects. It’s been really beautiful to reintegrate into nightlife because, and especially into queer and gay nightlife, which is something that I hadn’t really done. I was creating those events for people, and now I’m going to other people’s events at bars that I really had never spent time in. So, like, I mean, The Port’s about to close down, or like, going to the White Horse, or going to Fluid, which is a new place that’s doing really well. It’s really beautiful and seeing that just proliferate. Because a lot of the times I’m like, ‘SF actually doesn’t really care about us.’ SF feels really gatekeep-y and it’s just pulling all this talent from other parts of the world when there’s so much talent here in the Bay. It’s so nice to see this talent in Oakland.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Pen Harshaw: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I’m noticing this common thread of community and it brings me to wonder, like, when you think of the concept of belonging, what comes to mind?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Adonis: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I guess, as an adoptee, again, I didn’t feel like I belonged. But I feel like I just had to kind of alter my mindset. And be like, I do belong, and I can be here with you, can you be here with me? And when we ask these questions, and I think we really have to look internally and accept ourselves and love ourselves, to know that if anything, we belong where we are.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And no one can take that away from you. They can try, and they will and it gets violent, but no- I think that’s why we even choose to fight back, is because we understand we belong. And that’s why I do the work that I do, or even just be kind to people because I’m like, ‘You belong and your life should also be filled with ease and grace.’\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Pen Harshaw: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">When I think about, you said like, it’s a way of fighting, you literally are trained in martial arts as well. And even through that further community, further sense of belonging, maybe we could start with, um, what led you to martial arts and then we could talk about belonging in that as well.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Adonis: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I mean I danced for a very long time in my life. I played instruments and I think all of those things are connected to the soul of just, you know, being Cebuano, being Visayan, and so I was like, ‘I’m gonna find another art,’ and so I chose-I was like, oh, I’ll try martial arts. So I went on the internet. There wasn’t many places I found, but one stood out, which was called Eskabodan. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">When I first walked in, I knew it was a place I belonged to. The school was doing really well at the time on Polk Street and so I stayed. I still train with Grandmaster Kastor today, and he is also a legend. I mean, and now I’m training for my second degree black belt. And I also am assisting him in teaching when we travel to Europe.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">It’s been really beautiful to feel another, another type of community here that is very Filipino and very rooted in a Filipino art and very rooted in martial arts. It’s like dancing and it’s a total meditation, which makes me feel really calm and it makes me feel confident.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And so when I’m in a place that I think at one point that I would have felt nervous about being in, for my own safety of my body or emotional safety or whatever.

And I have never had to use any of my skills that way. And I just remember my knee jerk reaction was to grab them, twist, twist their wrists in a certain way, and then I saw, I saw it. I saw all the openings. I saw where I could have caused this person harm, or taken them out in a certain way. And all I did was I just like, put them on the ground.\u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> [laughs] \u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And I was like, ‘That’s mine.

She’s since stayed connected to the women’s music scene, particularly through Holly Near, with whom she performs at \u003ca href=\"https://secure.thefreight.org/13987/holly-near-0518\">Freight & Salvage on May 18\u003c/a> for Near’s “Almost 75th Birthday Party” show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13953881\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 884px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/03/Tammy-Hall-courtesy-of-the-artist.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"884\" height=\"462\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13953881\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/03/Tammy-Hall-courtesy-of-the-artist.jpg 884w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/03/Tammy-Hall-courtesy-of-the-artist-800x418.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/03/Tammy-Hall-courtesy-of-the-artist-160x84.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/03/Tammy-Hall-courtesy-of-the-artist-768x401.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 884px) 100vw, 884px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tammy Hall. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Tammy Hall)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>While Hall hands out well-deserved bouquets to other women, the Civic Center jazz spot Mr. Tipple’s is ensuring she gets a floral arrangement of her own.

Every week, Pen talks to movers and shakers about how the Bay Area shapes what they create, and how they shape the place we call home.","imageSrc":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Rightnowish-Podcast-Tile-500x500-1.jpg","imageAlt":"KQED Rightnowish with Pendarvis Harshaw","officialWebsiteLink":"/podcasts/rightnowish","meta":{"site":"arts","source":"kqed","order":"5"},"link":"/podcasts/rightnowish","subscribe":{"npr":"https://www.npr.org/podcasts/721590300/rightnowish","rss":"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/programs/rightnowish/feed/podcast","apple":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rightnowish/id1482187648","stitcher":"https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/kqed/rightnowish","google":"https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vS1FJTkMxMjU5MTY3NDc4","spotify":"https://open.spotify.com/show/7kEJuafTzTVan7B78ttz1I"}},"jerrybrown":{"id":"jerrybrown","title":"The Political Mind of Jerry Brown","tagline":"Lessons from a lifetime in politics","info":"The Political Mind of Jerry Brown brings listeners the wisdom of the former Governor, Mayor, and presidential candidate.
