Photos of Trans Women Depicted as Saints and Religious Icons [x]

October 25, 2017

With Virgenes de la Puerta (“Virgins of the Door” in Spanish), Juan Jose Barboza-Gubo looks to honor the lives of Lima’s transgender community. The photographic series, created in collaboration with Mroczek, reimagines trans women from his birthplace—including activists from the Peruvian trans rights organization Feminas—as saints, cultural icons, and religious figures from 19th century portraiture.

[…]

“Virgenes de la Puerta is showing as part of Canon at the Museum of Sex in New York until January 15, 2018. Part of Canon is also on display at the Lugar de la Memoria (LUM) museum in Peru, which is providing support for Peru’s first art memorial to remember LGBTQ victims of hate crime.

iwtv seasons one and two was like being tucked into bed and read a heartbreaking story by Louis du pointe du lac. The Vampire Lestat is like your blackout drunk uncle trying to tell you an anecdote at a family gathering

Tbh, it ought to be studied what draws the most rancidly racist people to the most uwu art styled media. Because it seems like they believe they are too babey to watch mature media with live adults, but also want their squishy doll babey characters to say slurs and make assault jokes so like... What's the draw? Why do you seek the veneer of innocence while wanting the behavior of.... Ope. Wait. Yeah I just answered my own question.

A 2026 refresher on the main trio of my comic project, Salmon Road!

Story follows Whitney, an insular handyman, as she is given sudden guardianship of her rambunctious kid sister, Clementine.

Together they struggle to navigate the drastic change in lifestyle - Whitney more comfortable with solitude and Clementine unaccustomed to the boring, nothing town that is Bluegill Springs. Or at least that's how it seems on the surface.

Unexplainable events begin to crack through their town's foundation, threatening to shake their understanding of the world altogether. With Clementine fueled by youthful curiosity, Whitney has no choice but to be pulled into the weird world of paranormal investigation, spearheaded by local eccentric outcast, Joan.

my biggest word of advice to anyone scared to post their work/ocs/involve themselves in creative spaces online is to earnestly get interested in other people. be kind to others, like/reblog their work, tell them what you like about their work, get to know them as people.

this isn’t to “weasel” your way into anything or having ulterior motives or whatever. if you become friends with someone then that’s great! but there’s always something very personal about posting any kind of creative work. we’re all trying our best to connect with each other and the best way to get comfortable is to get to know others and show up as yourself. 🫶🏾

I guess in light of all the feedback I've been receiving tonight I'm going to turn over a new leaf and become a good citizen who defends copyright law. first up is snitching out the nice lady at the local farmers market who sells crochet pokemon plushies, I want to see nintendo sue that cunt into the ground
