It's so fucking baffling to me that hospitals went back to not masking. Like good news, we have lots of empirical evidence that masking prevents infections! Now to go back to walking around this absolute petri dish of a building filled with extremely vulnerable people unmasked
i hate the word spicy can we bring back calling things erotic
rolling up to Wendy's to get an erotic chicken sandwich
“this character did not act in the most objectively logical way possible!” is not ! actually valid literary criticism
i have trust that the media literacy enjoyers will find this one idk
Once again shouting into the void that just because you think it would be physically easy for you to use a powerchair doesn’t mean that it’s easy for everyone.
The kind of disabilities that make you reliant on a powerchair often make sitting up at all very difficult, and affect movement to the point where using a joystick can be physically tiring.
And then there’s the cognitive load of using a powerchair, especially in public. I have to be aware of my surroundings to a degree that non disabled people often can’t understand. I’m watching pavement widths, where dropped curbs are likely to be, and how steep the camber is. I’m seeing if there are any bicycles, signs vegetation or other obstacles blocking the path in the next 100m (because the pavement is too narrow to turn round on if I miss something). I’m looking out for mobility aid users or people with pushchairs coming the other way because the path isn’t wide enough for both of us.
And in a crowd I’m paying attention to who is distracted by their phone, who is window shopping and might absent minded step backwards into me, who is likely to do something unpredictable, who has a young child or a dog I need to be aware of.
And for me I’m doing all of that without being able to move my head and look round easily. It’s exhausting.
Not to mention how in some countries, using a powerchair requires motorized vehicle insurance, which is often expense or sometimes not even given to disabled folks just on the premise of them being disabled!
The full illustration I did for @taplingzines "We've Always Been Here"
The zine depicts queer couples throughout cultures and history and I had the honours of portraying a Japanese lesbian couple in an underground bar during the 80s✨
If you will forever define your identity by your suffering you'll forever struggle to live a life where your suffering is outweighed by joy.
Our queer history art book celebrates all sorts of cultures across the world. This of course includes plenty of Indigenous queerness! 🪶

a lot of conversations surrounding trans men having male privilege made me realize just how Eurocentric and white most people's view of trans people is, because it doesn't take into account so many countries where women are prohibited from pursuing education, refused independency or forced into child marriages.
male privilege does not save transmasculine people from violent misogyny, it is not a get out of jail card, and so the rights of transmasculine bodies are tied to women's rights. and if to gain access to male privilege you first have to be allowed bodily autonomy and then be legally and socially recognized as a man is it really a privilege at all?

Merch highlight: A lovely sticker sheet from @lisondraws ! It's limited edition for our Kickstarter, available in the merch pack or as an add-on!
These stamps feature queer love symbols, from flowers to poetic references. Here’s a breakdown of some of the symbolism included:
Flowers: Violets have symbolized lesbian love for thousands of years. Green carnations were a known gay gesture and symbol of resistance. Lavender is symbol of the queer empowerment from 1969 and on. Pansies (once a slur) have been reclaimed as a symbol of pride and beauty.
Language: The terms "Tribade" and "Uranian" are now-outdated terms for lesbians and homosexuals. (Perfect for a queer history zine!)
Water: The sea as a poetic symbol is also present, highlighting the rich history of queerness at sea.
Literature: This middle stamp with a book nods to queerness in the 1800s. The cup of "Ladies of Llangollen," Oscar Wilde's carnation, and a book on whalers. "Dividit lux et se" ("Daylight divides them and...") is the last verse of an incomplete sapphic love poem found in Pompeii. Lesbian love, since time immemorial.
Symbolism: The broken borders show how queer people have always pushed the boundaries of the world around them. The colors blend purple and the lesbian and gay flags, faded to evoke a sense of nostalgia.
(Also, these adorable characters are two lovers: a butch and a trans woman, named H. and Imogene!)
This sticker sheet really captures the joy and resilience we're aiming for in this entire project, and we hope you discovered something new! 💖
Repost to share our queer history, and back in our Kickstarter (now live) to get this sticker sheet for yourself!
Having a traumatic childhood means you cannot talk even objectively about your basic foundational experiences without it being "venting", even if you're not actually venting. You just straight up have a huge chunk of your life you can't talk about, full stop, without it being trauma dumping.
And it not being socially acceptable to talk about your own childhood is super alienating. Sometimes people want to know why, and any answer you can give them is going to be off putting.
It's to the point I get irritated when something I said is framed as venting when I'm literally just talking about my life experiences, doing my best to keep emotion out of it.
