New schedule for the week and an announcement! I'm adding some new content to my channel! In addition to cosplay crafting and games, I'm also baking & sharing some of the exercises I've been doing for physical therapy. I really appreciate how supportive everyone has been as I've been getting ready to create more content & I'm looking forward to doing more streams! 🎉🥰

I just really hope they have his queerness be on screen and not just on social media for brownie points like every other movie to not have explicit queer characters but pretends to. I'm so tired of that.

apparently they don’t explicitly show it on screen

and i am totally torn on that

because on the one hand, yeah, it’d be nice to have, like, some rosa diaz explicitness

on the other hand like

my bisexuality wouldn’t be “canon enough” for ppl in a movie about the last five years of my life bc I don’t kiss anyone but @dadhoc rn and we don’t ‘look’ queer enough for some people unless you catch us covered in our Pride shit idk

and there are a lot of queer people like that

it kind of feels like for bisexual and pansexual characters they’re not ‘really’ queer unless they are kissing someone who appears to be of the same gender as them (and BOY how complicated that is for nonbinary people)

so like I do agree, and I feel like having more characters be visibly queer and say they’re bisexual and pansexual is important

there’s a part of me that also curls up and dies every time this conversation happens bc ‘canon bisexual’ so often must mean ‘same gender smooching’ or you’re not ‘queer enough’ ... like... 

it’s 5 am and I’m sure I’m not expressing my feelings clearly enough?

so hopefully I’ll be able to more clearly express my complicated feelings after some sleep

I chatted with the LGBT HQ crew and got Kid Riot Volume 2 signed by The Demon Hotel staff!

I first met them at The LGBT Expo last year (throwback photo included). Thank you for creating comics with diverse LGBT characters that are gun violence free.

My Etsy store is now open! Thank you all for your support & stay tuned for upcoming promotions and new items! All sales will contribute to my medical care, wheelchair repairs & accessible housing.

While I am still working as hard as I can, my condition is declining, so I need as much help as I can get with medical treatment and transitioning into housing that I can get around in with decreased mobility.

Introduction

Hello new people! I’m Jay Justice, Jamaican-American, queer disabled Black woman from the Bronx, NY. 

I’m a writer, cosplayer, advocate, and actress. My work has been featured on SYFY, i09, CollegeHumor, Tested.com, IGN, TimeOut New York, Tor.com, BBC America and on the shelves in your neighborhood comic book store among other places. I’ve also done promotional and marketing work for Marvel, Activision and several comic conventions. I am one of the co-creators for the Doctor Who/Torchwood web series Legacy. I’m a guest at over 20 conventions a year & always looking to do more. I take part in fandom based discussion panels and workshops all over the US. I love science fiction, fantasy, comic books and video games. Contributing to works that I’ve been a fan of since I was a child is the coolest part of what I do. I’m a disabled spoonie with a debilitating autoimmune disease. It affects my entire body and limits my mobility and productivity, but never my creativity. I was diagnosed as a child and so have been ill for most of my life, going from a cane, to a manual wheelchair and currently using an electric mobility scooter. Being disabled and chronically ill in the United States is an expensive & frustrating experience, but I try to show other people struggling through the same things that poverty and disability don’t have to define you as a person. I am the cosplayer who likes to leave positive words in places where people are being negative. I don’t argue with trolls, just provide truth and reinforce the fact that cosplay and fandom is for everyone regardless of body type, disability, race, religion, gender identity or sexuality. I started ‘Plant a Flower’ and I hope it empowers those who have been bullied into thinking that they don’t belong. I believe that diversity in the media we consume is important, necessary and ultimately beneficial for everyone. In the ideal fantasy fiction, everyone has a place, and it doesn’t have to be as the stereotypical villain, the token or the gross caricature. We all deserve the opportunity to create and enjoy media where we can see ourselves as the hero, no matter what we look like or how we identify. I’m proud to be a part of that, and I’m excited about what the future will bring. Follow|Shop|Support: Facebook-Twitter-Instagram-Etsy-YouCaring-Paypal-Kofi

I am so honored to have been featured by SYFY this month as part of their #28DaysOfSheroes campaign, because of the work I do in costuming as well as in our community. Celebrating who we are as well as the shows, books & games we love is my favorite part of fandom. We must all treat each other as if we are of one tribe.
