consider supporting this indiegogo campaign not only to support someone in your queer community but also because you’ll be contributing to the development of a ‪safe space‬ to get beautiful tattoo work done by one of the most quality people i know. bonus: beautiful art and tattoo time for bid.

From the page: “The tattoo industry can be a very unfriendly and unwelcoming environment for folks outside of certain societal structures and systems. As a queer person of color, I have found myself in positions of either being the target of, or being around, so much misogyny, racism, transphobia, fatphobia and classism that it’s time to make space away from all that. It’s time to take the reigns instead of being the “killjoy” or the “PC” one. It’s time to create and hold space for folks and allies who want to say that they too, are sick of it and want to have this be another place where that can be nurtured.”

Chris Kabel - Lace Map, 2009 Handcrafted since the 15th century, lace making is one of Belgium’s oldest traditions. For this project lace has been used to create a gigantic city map of Bruges, lace capital of Belgium. Streets, alleyways, street names and canals as well as monuments are knitted into a lace pattern onto which tourists can find their way.

No new work to post this weekend since I’ve been working on some custom pieces that I’m not at liberty to share!

I was feeling nostalgic for my States of Undress series, and the fun I had turning them into gifs.

always in awe of this person's skills.

You are absolutely beautiful! Where did you get those awesome black high waisted shorts? :)

things “body positivity” movements should address besides weight/fat:

(dis)ability

features associated with non-whiteness

hair type

lots of body hair / no body hair / little body hair / hair in all places / losing hair

acne 

skin conditions

scars

stretch marks

skin discolorations

different ways that skin tans

tanlines

etc

so when white feminists show me pictures of fat able-bodied white women with super smooth skin and no discolorations/skin marks and no body hair and say “love your body!!1!” it’s like nope. 

I may be fat but I’m also so many other things that are looked down upon and policed. If your body positivity doesn’t seek to dismantle white supremacy/ableism/cissexism/etc, what good is your body positivity? who is it helping?
