eventuality

out of all the explanations, two gay husbands making a gay art piece was defiantly not on my list  

I feel bad for the scientists who spent years and years getting their degrees only to eventually end up dressing up rats in lingerie.

This is the post that killed him.

Relatable, kid, relatable.

Just an FYI for those in the US with insurance issues

And then the credits roll. 

[Image description: Announcement for call submissions for zine, All in Your Head features an illustration of a femme presenting cyborg, seated near futuristic white and blue orbs. Cords are connected to the cyborg’s mechanical skull as they look towards a starry sky.] Text reads: ‘All in Your Head: Queerness, Neurodivergence, and Disability Zine. Call for Submissions! Queer Crip Futures. Deadline: December 1st, 2017.’]  Call for Submissions! All in Your Head is a queer/feminist traditional cut-and-paste style zine with a focus on LGBTQIA neurodivergent and disabled activists, zinesters, artists, and authors. Our zine operates on the following *principles: 1.) social inequality and injustice exists [racism, classism, ableism, heterosexism, cissexism to name a few]; 2.) disability, neurodiversity can be understood as a viable form of human difference that intersects with/is shaped by systems of dominance; 3.) claims that there is a “normal” bodymind can have damaging and harmful effects (physically/emotionally/spiritually) and are partly shaped by current social/cultural values and white western colonial histories; 4.) neuroatypical people and people with disabilities must navigate cultural taboos, move among complex institutions and systems of care and negotiate conflicting ideas of “wellness/illness,“ “silence/disclosure,” “visibility/invisibility;” “dis/ability” and more 5.) most importantly, our stories matter. (*this list is by no means exhaustive) We are seeking submissions for issue #7 of All in Your Head. The theme for this issue is: QUEER CRIP FUTURES. We accept many kinds of submissions including: short stories, essays, poetry, rants, manifestos, music playlists, book reviews, doodles, drawings, resource lists, opinion pieces, photography, collage (and more!) that address this theme. If you don’t see your idea here, send it anyway! It may just be the thing we’re looking for! Keep in mind that you do not need to be a “good writer/artist/poet” (whatever that means!) to participate. We want to deconstruct and dismantle elitist gatekeeping and restricting access to publishing for disabled, neuroqueer folks. Possible themes/topics for this issue: -Visions for social, cultural, and systemic change from the perspective of queer, disabled, chronically ill, and/or neurodivergent people -Accessible technologies -The future of disability activism -Bio-medical ethics and technological developments -Eugenics, disability, and the rhetoric of futurity -Science fiction and disability, gender, race, class, sexuality etc -Activist/artist projects that address the theme Crip Futures as it relates to queer disabled, neurodiverse communities for our activist spotlight column. Send all submissions to: [email protected] Deadline: December 1st, 2017. Word limit: Please try to keep submissions around 1500 words or less. This is to ensure that all folks who submit have a good chance of getting published. Please send with your submission: Bio (optional), descriptions of any images you sent (high res please!), and any links to your work and artistry (optional). All contributors will receive a free copy and are free to publish elsewhere (we do not own your work!).

This is just a poster I made the other day. I love all of my trans family, and I hope you take the day for remembrance & self care.

.

But fun as it is to watch this poetic race The answer is staring you right in the face: Roses are red and violets are blue Because nothing fucking rhymes with purple.
