Reconfiguring time, love, and money: Adjusting chronotopic realities among queer and trans of color community organizers in Toronto, Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Based on ethnographic research in Toronto, Canada this article considers how queer and trans of color community arts initiatives come to exist as temporal phenomena. Given the association of racial, sexual, and gender nonnormativity with temporal backwardness, these organizations serve as a useful site to examine how temporal regimes are composed. Drawing on the work of grassroots queer and trans of color community arts initiatives, I show how the short-term, youth-based nature of these efforts is intimately tied to mechanisms of state funding and to the feelings-based relationships that characterize community work. I argue that in their bid to transform their initiatives into sustainable, intergenerational organizations, queer and trans of color organizers must work to change the affective and political economic contexts in which these initiatives exist. By positing the commensurability between “love” and “money” and using the framework of temporality to draw them into the same analytic space, I contribute to existing studies on emotional labor by disrupting Enlightenment logics that separate “spirit” from “matter.” Ultimately, I examine the political ramifications of enacting normative models of temporal development to explore a queer approach to change over time.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
