"Survival"

Cone 5.5 stoneware, underglaze, glaze, nichrome wire

A piece about caring and bonding deeply intertwined with survival, and death as a legacy to the building of love and community.

Some may recognize this piece being on display during the spring of 2025, it was purchased for a surprise and was finally unveiled last month so I'm now sharing it online! :)

i need everyone to know that community is what will save us all in every single way imaginable. you forming a bond with your neighbour or coworker might help them move house or feel less alone or have the courage to leave an unhealthy living environment. you helping a stranger might provide them with hope. in turn, being able to lean on your community in times of need will save you. your broader bonds with your community are the revolution we need. our society seeks to divide and separate us in so many ways but we are all so much more united in our struggles and joys than you are made to believe. we need to hold onto each other very tightly.

this pride, i learnt about the Palestinian trans woman Oscar Al-Halabiye, dancer and resistance fighter against the israeli occupation in Southern Lebanon. she named herself Oscar after Lady Oscar from the "The Rose of Versailles", a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Riyoko Ikeda.

her story is documented in Cinema Fouad(1993). zionists use pink washing to reinforce their genocidal terrorist narrative when queer Palestinians have been fighting against the occupation since the very beginning. you can watch it here with english subtitles. long live the intifada!

Happy pride everyone! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

A pride flag was one of the quilting projects I really wanted to get done, and it works great as a scraps buster.

This is roughly 40 by 65 centimetres (about 16 by 26 inches) and quilted in the ditch with thin cotton batting. I wish I'd used rainbow thread for the quilting, but I didn't have any on hand, and the goal was to not buy any new materials.

Under the cut: diagram and process.

HST = half square triangle; S = square.

The pieces are listed on the diagram above, but here they are again:

Light blue: 10 HST

Light pink: 6 HST

White: 2 HST

Brown: 12 HST

Black: 12 HST

Red: 1 HST, 7 S

Orange: 1 HST, 6 S

Yellow: 1 HST, 5 S

Green: 1 HST, 5 S

Blue: 1 HST, 6 S

Purple: 1 HST, 7 S

The HST are 9 cm (≈3.5 in) and the squares are 8 cm (≈3.14 in). I used a 5 mm (≈0.2 in) seam allowance. I recommend using a bigger seam allowance if you’re making a larger quilt, or one that will be used as a blanket or as part of a wearable piece.

I worked by washing, pressing, and cutting all my fabric into the necessary pieces. I then assembled all my HST into squares, then pressed the seams open, and squared the squares down to 8 cm (≈3.14 in). I assembled those squares into 1x1 pieces, pressed, squared. Those were assembled into 2x2 pieces, pressed, squared. Then into 2x6 bands, pressed, squared. Then into 4x6 bands, pressed, squared. I then assembled the three resulting bands (two 4x6, one 2x6) and pressed and squared one last time to finish the quilt top.

Some progress pictures to clarify what I mean by 2x6 or 4x6 bands:

After all HST were assembled into squares. I recommend taking pictures of your fabric set up before sewing, so you remember which order you wanted to put your squares in.

4x6 piece and nine 2x2 squares, partway through assembly.

Assembling bands together. Press your seams!

The finished quilt top.

I used the bi flag as a backing, but feel free to do a one-sided flag and use the backing of your choice. I know there’s cute pride-themed quilting cotton out there, or just a plain colour would work as well.

I don’t have a diagram for the bi flag: I used 8 cm (≈3.14 in) squares, 16 blue, 8 purple, and 16 pink. Those were assembled similarly, as I find working in full bands results in irregular points.

A similar process could be used to make any pride flag of your choice! I might make a trans pride one eventually. This is a really good stash-busting project, and a cuter alternative to a polyester flag. Please send me pics or tag me if you sew one!

Happy pride, and don’t forget to press your seams.

Gender is entirely made-up and I don't understand why some people are so fixated on it being "true" in the sense of like...are trans women women? Of course they are, insofar as "a woman" can be said to exist in the first place. But people have gotten obsessed with proving objectively that a trans woman is a woman, when the actual core of trans liberation is that anyone forcing their preferred gender on you is fascist. It's missing the forest for the trees. When all you do is play the "I am [x] really truly deep down just like everyone else" game you're meeting the transphobes on their level and accepting their premise that "man" and "woman" are distinct, tangible things.

To be clear, it's not that you CAN'T feel gender is a kinna spiritual force within you, or something to that effect. But my point is that trying to rip that spiritual force out of our bodies to dissect it and prove all the haters wrong because look it was here all along is just a waste of time and effort.

The truth of the matter is that the goal is not to get people to see trans women as women, it's to get them to stop feeling like clothes and pronouns and names and locker rooms should be dictated by what some asshole wrote down on your birth certificate.
