Authority Layer

The master gateway for everything building around The Fayth

This supersite routes people to the right work fast: media, advocacy, campaign infrastructure, and the ecosystem of projects growing around The Fayth.

  • Route visitors quickly instead of making them decode the ecosystem.
  • Keep the public homepage broadly accessible while still surfacing creator and adult-adjacent work through a clear, labeled path.

Board manifesto

A place to think in threads instead of forcing everything into one polished narrative.

One front door, clear lanes

Identity
Public-facing brand, narrative, and authority live here.
Advocacy
Public-interest and safety work gets durable, canonical routing.
Campaign
Inactive campaign domains can point here until separate stacks are needed.
Projects
Standalone properties stay distinct but discoverable.

What this supersite does

Consolidate attention before anything branches out.

Instead of forcing visitors to decode a cluster of domains, the supersite gives each lane a clear entry point and keeps the public-facing experience coherent.

  • Keep the homepage broad, public, and legible.
  • Route advocacy and campaign traffic into canonical pages.
  • Expose creator and adult-adjacent work through a deliberate gateway, not the hero.

Creator and 18+ work stays visible without hijacking the front page.

The curated creator gateway lives inside the projects directory, where it is clearly labeled and context-rich. That keeps the home experience public-facing while preserving intentional routing to Clitz and related platform work.

Board categories

The main rooms for people, places, dates, artifacts, sensory triggers, and unresolved patterns.

Open forum
ROOM-01People and relationships

Who keeps returning in the memory graph?

Track recurring people, shifting roles, relationship weather, and who tends to reappear around the same stories.

Start with one person and add the rooms, years, and emotional tone that bring them back.

ROOM-02Places and rooms

What happened in this room before and after?

Use homes, schools, offices, hospitals, streets, and single rooms as anchors when time itself feels too slippery.

Name the place, then list what you can remember entering, leaving, and noticing in the space.

ROOM-03Dates and time windows

Which date is doing the most work here?

Build threads around exact dates, seasons, school years, elections, holidays, and the before-and-after edges of an event.

Pick one anchor date and expand outward to the week before, the day of, and the aftermath.

ROOM-04Artifacts and evidence

What object or document proves the thread exists?

Cross-link photos, screenshots, letters, objects, paperwork, and archive items so memory can be checked against material traces.

Open with the artifact itself, then explain the story it unlocks and what still needs corroboration.

ROOM-05Sensory triggers

Which sensation unlocks the entire scene?

Hold onto songs, smells, body sensations, textures, weather, and visual fragments that reopen whole scenes.

Describe the sound, smell, or texture first, then follow the scene wherever it leads.

ROOM-06Patterns and contradictions

What repeats, what breaks, and what feels unresolved?

Use the board to notice repeated structures, conflicting recollections, missing time, and stories that need a second look.

Start with the pattern, then list the examples that support it and the places where it fails.

Starter threads

Use these to see the category structure before the board fills up.

Every prompt is meant to become a real thread, not just a planning note.

PEOPLEStarter thread

People I cannot stop remembering

List the first five names that surface immediately and describe what makes each one sticky.

Goal: Reveal the recurring cast before the larger chronology gets too crowded.

Language note: Use every name version you remember, including nicknames or multilingual variations.

PLACESStarter thread

Rooms that hold entire chapters

Choose one room and write what was on the floor, walls, doors, and exits before naming the event.

Goal: Let place become the index when time is foggy.

Language note: Describe the room in the language that makes it feel most vivid, then translate key details.

DATESStarter thread

The date that keeps splitting open

Start with one exact date or season and map what happened before, during, and after.

Goal: Turn a date into a thread hub for related memories.

Language note: Capture calendar names, holidays, or local time references that change by language or region.

ARTIFACTSStarter thread

Screenshots, letters, and objects that anchor the story

Attach or describe one artifact and explain what memory it verifies or complicates.

Goal: Keep evidence close to narrative while the archive grows.

Language note: Quote labels or fragments exactly, then add context in your current language.

SENSORYStarter thread

Songs, smells, weather, and body memory

Describe the trigger before the explanation and let the scene arrive in its own order.

Goal: Honor non-linear recall without flattening it into summary too soon.

Language note: Keep sound words, idioms, and sensory phrases even if they resist clean translation.

PATTERNSStarter thread

Contradictions I want to compare openly

Name the contradiction, then separate what is certain, suspected, and still missing.

Goal: Create a safer place for uncertainty, corroboration, and revision.

Language note: Mark when a contradiction may come from translation, code-switching, or naming differences.

PATTERNSStarter thread

Retelling the same story in more than one language

Post the story twice, or post a draft plus a translation note about what changed.

Goal: See what language reveals, hides, or reshapes in memory.

Language note: Invite glosses, annotations, and alternate phrasings rather than forcing a single “correct” version.

DATESStarter thread

My hyperthymesia study log

After each syllabus module, note what you recalled differently, what sharpened, and what new thread should be opened.

Goal: Tie the syllabus directly into practice on the board.

Language note: Document key terms in the language that helps you think most clearly about the module.

Archive pulse

2002

In the summer and fall of 2000, I was part of the human rights campaign’s youth college.

For the summer I went around the East Coast working in politics at the behest of the world’s largest gay rights organization. I worked on 3 major campaigns, in Long Island and Philadelphia. We were so young and innocent, believed Bush could never get elected…the senate race I was working on also lost, so Sen. Santorum became a reality. And that’s all I feel about saying ‘bout that. When I returned from the East Coast, I had a queer fire under me and started off by writing a piece on Trans issues for UCLA’s LGBT magazine, 10 percent.

2002

Letter from Faith (2003)

I was overwhelmed by the need to write you a letter and send it out right the fuck away. Was watching comedy central’s new show “I’m with Busey” which I found disturbing and hilarious which is a feeling that always makes me too nervous to continue. I was thinking about why I don’t call you or write, and I figure it must be the time zone. I always want to call but then realize it’s like whatever your time. Obviously I don’t get up all that early. I hate school, and it seems I only made it to school some days to keep up the reputation of being a student. Being asked what year you are is a bit gross all the time, but it’s doesn’t seem to be in any way an incentive! I just am so over it, and so very ready to move the fuck on to whatever. I want to be angry that I stayed so long at such a cost financially and emotionally and whatever, but I figure that I wouldn’t have been ready to go on to another place without the education I have received in the last year. I started to get more involved in school politics and organizing. I got two awards for that: women for change student leadership award and lgbt student leader award. This was the nomination form I filled out: UCLA WOMEN for Change 2003 Student Leadership Award Nomination Form 1. Describe your leadership activities at UCLA (and beyond) for this 2002-2003 year.

2002

GIANT SWITCH ON MY BACK

One of the worst dreams I ever had I was impenetrable. No bullet could harm me I was made of mercuryman stuff, like Robert Patrick in T2 and I made a habit of stealing from the rich to give to the poor. What I didn’t know was that on my back was a giant light switch, that when flipped turned my powers right off. Betrayed by a friend, someone snuck up behind me. I wasn’t worried because nothing could hurt me until I felt them turn my switch. I turned and taunted the police bravado unquelled. They shot me and I woke up screaming and swimming in sweat. My brother calls frantic during a late april wednesday afternoon.
