Hewwo! I'm Jackie (it/he)! I'm a 26 year old genderfluid transmasc with AuDHD and a currently undiagnosed (suspected) connective tissue disorder

This is an 18+ page and business!!

About me under the cut~ <3

image descriptions on any and all posts are welcome and appreciated!

I made my first battle jacket in 2020 during the pandemic, and upgraded when I grew out of it in late 2023. A friend asked if I'd make theirs, and You've Got Moxie! was born!

I have been passionate about art for my entire life, from tracing coloring book pages and making my own at age 4 and 5, making paper art dolls at 9, learning to use a sewing machine at 12, finding my love of painting at 15, beginning to play with makeup at 18, and creating one of my first truly custom accessories at 21-I have been trying anything and everything I can get my hands on for as long as I can remember! And I plan to do so for the rest of my life ;)

I am a 100% self taught artist with a degree from Youtube University and a minor in TikTok and Pinterest DIYs (plus an elective in scrapbooking). I love to watch people create awesome new things and use them as inspiration to also create awesome things!!

I have strong political beliefs, considering myself a leftist punk. Most of my materials are sourced secondhand, especially clothing that would otherwise be thrown away, and I believe in comfortable and accessible clothes for every body! All of my items are sold with a free lifetime repair and update guarantee, so that your items can grow and change with you! And, of course, if you decide to change and update those items yourself, I encourage it! Have fun! That's what we're all here for, right?

I don't often speak on political topics simply because I am an extremely small page, and I have nothing to say that can't be found by bigger and more articulate content creators elsewhere-but my opinions are clear in my work, and in the occasional post I share on said topics. That being said;

Free Palestine!

Genocide is happening all over the world and it needs to be stopped!

Direct action is not the only way to fight!

I support Ukraine!

Trans Lives Matter!

BIPOC Lives Matter!

Sex Work is Real Work!

Microlabels and Neopronouns are cool!

There isn't one way to be punk (or to exist at all!)

No Justice, No Peace!

there are a million movements that I support that aren't listed here, but hopefully I've at least covered a good chunk!!

This is also a sex-positive and kink-positive space! We support taboo kinks here too, such as CNC, pet play, CG/L, and anything else practiced by

Adults

FIND TRANS JOY EVERYWHERE

[stargore]

FINALLY returning to my black and white vest after a few months of having it folded in my closet while i work on other stuff—the front is pretty much finished but the back has been blank!

anyways, it’s not anymore—cool diy stuff on the way, stargore nation <]:^O

(first wing was 100% freehanded, second wing is being loosely templated so it’s structurally even with the first and then freehanded from there)

[teaboot]

Something I don’t understand about ridiculously wealthy people is like

Numbers go up forever. But quality is finite

So at a certain point, whenever you buy- something designed by the greatest minds, crafted by the best craftsmen, out of the finest materials sourced from the most ethical producers and wrapped in the finest packaging, everyone from the top down paid a generous wage

Even in THAT SPECIFIC scenario. If everything is valued correctly and everyone gets what they want out of the deal and nobody at any point gets unreasonably greedy

You’re still gonna hit a ceiling. You’re still gonna reach a finite number

So at a certain point, when the quality can get no higher, any price you pay beyond that. Is just bragging rights. It’s just the price of the label. It’s money for the privilege of advertising for the brand

It all loops around, and the RICH PERSON BUYING IT is GIVING THE LABEL MONEY to WORK FOR THEM

The label ITSELF is benefitting from being shown off by this classy elite celebrity to other people in their social circle

So like. The consumer, at a certain price point, will fork over more money than I make in a year- and FIGHT to do so- for the ability to… do work? To do work. To advertise and raise stock value

Not to GAIN money. Just to like. Have something. And inflate its value

It’s insane but it’s. It’s working

And anyone one of us who buys something with a visible brand name on it is doing it too

Wild shit

[teaboot]

Did you know that major design houses actually lose money on runways and fashion shows? They do. They LOSE MONEY making insanely complex and bizarre and ornate shit. And they do it so that people keep associating their name with class and style and celebrity and exclusivity.

You’ve SEEN gucci clothing. It’s fucking ugly. You KNOW it’s ugly. Never in my life have I seen anyone actually WEAR the shit they put out. But there’s a couple hundred wannabe-gangstas in my city who will pay through the nose for a $500 belt buckle that cost $5 to produce in the same sweatshop that makes the Walmart brands except THIS one has the gucci name on it to prove their low-level dime bag sales make them a high roller like one of the big boys.

You notice how many well-off guys will brag about their Rolex watch, even though we all have phones and almost goddamn nobody USES a watch anymore?

You notice how it’s considered trashy to have a fake Prada bag, fake Balenciaga shoes? Here’s a fun secret: a lot of knockoffs are made in the same factory out of the same materials. The factory still has the pattern and the scrap leather and the expertise, so why not make a little extra cash selling them at a slight discount?

Experts can’t tell them apart because they’re the same thing. But labels hate it because it undercuts their market and letting low-class people walk around with high-class labels lowers their street cred, their exclusivity, their branded image as an elite, exclusive luxury

It’s not Functional. It was never meant to be Functional. It’s Branding. It’s Conceptual Art. It’s an Investment Portfolio. It’s Stocks and Marketing and Insider Trading and Warfare and Imperialism. It’s insane

It’s a perfect perpetual motion machine made out of exploitation and waste and class warfare and genuine artistic expression and bored wealthy idiots and people who want to feel important and I’m. Equal parts admiring and furious about it

Did you know that the fashion industry is the second largest world pollutor behind Oil?

Did you know that

I’m losing my mind

Holy fuck

[teaboot]

Someday you’re gonna find me living in a dumpster off Saks Fifth Avenue like a less chill modern Diogenes running around in a papier-mâché loincloth gripping respectable well-to-do citizens by the lapels and screaming “You KNOW you’re being conned! You KNOW you’re part of the machine! Don’t you want to be MORE? You are a wild, glorious animal forced to jump through hoops in the circus. Aren’t you FUCKING ANGRY?” and that’s how you’ll know I’ve finally snapped

[youvegotmoxie]

I totalled my car last week. I'm fine, not entirely surprised that my tires were stolen-pretty upset about my wheelchair tho. It's got purple metallic paint on it if anyone sees it around 🤷🏻 I mean I'm upset about not having transportation too but that really is a knife in the gut. My magic the gathering cards were untouched tho?

[konzilijum]

Here's a silly zine on basic stitches for sewing! :)

It's mostly intended for sewing patches, but can be for anything you want.

I hope it's useful! Tho it's a pretty old zine of our's and the illustration are a bit goofy. :3

You may remember it from an old post, but this is a new scan and I hope it's better? We can also send you a PDF if you wish.

If you wanna see more our instagram is @konzilijum :)

If you want to see more I recommend following us on Instagram and not here because we may stop posting here!

🥺🥺🥺

[stitchposts]

what is your LEAST favorite stitch?

I don't like counted work at fucking all. So: the cross stitch.

[rabbitindisguise]

reading this as someone who does cross stitch but is scared of the other kinds of embroidery is like overhearing an incredibly tall and buff person say they have beef with Mr. Tom, the kitten that chills at the bookstore

[stitchposts]

FUCK Mr. Tom and his stupid little fluffy tail ok. And his little charted designs.

[the-dragongirl]

Okay, but this neglects the true villain of embroidery stitches: the French knot

[stitchposts]

Don't you dare malign my girl again

[im-a-dream-wizard]

Ok the french knot is very useful but it is a BITCH to do it consistently

[stitchposts]

[youvegotmoxie]

I gotta ask, was this worth the 5 days of french knots?

[youvegotmoxie]

OH WE'RE SO BACK BABEY!!! So many many thanks to @bicastucson @bicasart for helping me gather supplies so I can restock my handmade bottlecap pins! Not sure when they'll be ready but I am at work putting as many together as I can! 🥳💃🏻🤸🏻❤️‍🔥

[youvegotmoxie]

I had to get this idea out of my system before I forgot about it

[cleaverqueer]

Jackie from the back, front, both sides, and the hood!

If there's any part you want to see better, lmk! Gonna post some detail shots of dif parts in a sec ^^

[cleaverqueer]

Nothing big to share atm but I added a patch to this half glove and I think it's cute :3

[cleaverqueer]

Posting my yet unfinished horror/comedy vest so that hopefully you guys can help me name it! I wanted to name it beetlejuice (after my fave horror comedy) but that's my brothers cats name so I think it would be confusing. Any suggestions?
