Curious artifact of PE Trudeau’s multiculturalism: I grew up in a neighbourhood, a city, full of hyphenated Canadians. Most of our grandparents weren’t the right sort (French, Italian, Ukrainian, Greek, Jewish, etc - not British Isles stock) yet we grew up to accept ourselves and our pale-skinned cohort as white. This was also likely due to post-WW2 broader acceptance of continental Europeans as more human than those creatures with odd skin tones.
According to a random German weight training blog post I tripped across, Angel Spassov promoted the Bulgarian split squat in the US. The coach claimed it was part of the training program that led to the country beating the Russians at power lifting.
It was misdirection. This move is gentle on the back while working the legs for power. Power lifters need back strength.

I've started my Master, my research question so far surrounds the idea of what electronic platforms add to the portrayal of queer bodies as others, often intermingling with beastly and monstrosity metaphors (often very positively)
I want to find queer creators of electronic art with a focus on body or emotional experiences. Twine hypertext, games, bots, poetry online, even twitter feeds or instagram.
