I really can’t believe I’m saying this, but I am sharing new work at the LEATHER ARCHIVES & MUSEUM @leatherarchives December 1st with Aay Preston-Myint @dirtrainbow & Ivan Lozano @giggomachine. We are all part of the Chicago Archives + Artists Project @chicagoarchivesartists. I’ve been studying the Chicago Protest Collection @newberrylibrary for the past year. This is one of the new pieces I’ll be installing OUTSIDE the museum! Thank you @fromthecenter & @tempestthazel for your vision. Photo by Ally Almore. [Description: H. Melt holds up a trans flag that reads there are trans people here in their colorful bedroom surrounded by flags and posters]. #therearetranspeoplehere #chicagoartists #chicagoarchives #transart #transthreads https://www.instagram.com/p/BqPq-OCn9evtl4ZEU4mCvdSpunDE-GjtopSLOA0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xtb3e2sezhhs

Shit has been bad for a while

Right so this lady was smart, if you’re ever in a sedan-style trunk there’s a little pull tab that you can use to get yourself out that is STANDARD in cars built after 2001. It’s the law just like headlights and seatbelts.

if you are in an SUV style vehicle or newer model car you may be able to find the automatic trunk release wire, pull on it, it will pop the trunk

if you can’t find any of that stuff,look for the brake light housing. You will need to pull back the trunk carpeting and feel about. It’s probably bolted in, but some careful wiggling will dislodge it. If people see a goddamn arm waving out of a hole in a car while they poke along I-95 they likely will do something about it

Reblog to save a life….

[ryderdai]

I was about to explain that handle myself. I did in the past and was told I have a sick since of humor for saying it helps to serve as an escape method in kidnappings.

Some of them even glow in the dark for easier finding.

It’s so bad that all I can think of is street smarts…

I’m Not A Joke (No Soy Tu Chiste)  is Artivism, art on human rights.  Was begun in Venezuela by queer Artivist Daniel Arzola (@Arzola_d) It became the first Venezuelan viral campaign that through art raised awareness of the prejudice and violent acts performed against the LGBTI community around the world.

Homegirl was on FOX news saying folks calling this a display of white privilege was “racist” and “unfair to minorities” cause it’s not like the police have killed unarmed black people for just EXISTING. Nope.

When it’s too soon to consider responsible gun laws, but not too soon to pose in front of Kent State (which has a shooting in its history) with a big ass fucking gun...?

I spent about 15 hours stitching this feminist art meme 😂

Reads, “When you remember that, historically, embroidery hasn’t been taken seriously as a medium because it’s ‘women’s work.’”

Protect our Planet

Hand embroidery on calico, approx 15 cm

“The last piece in this series is Protect our Planet which is a collection of motifs that encompass the ways humans contribute to the destruction of our beautiful planet. Recycling, protecting trees, preserving ecologically vital insects as well as saving water are all ways humans can start to undo some of their damage. While melting glaciers and extreme weather are all made worse by our relentless use of our planets resources. As humans, we can all do a little more to reduce our carbon footprint, after all, we have a lot of making up to do.” - hanecdote
