Art & things

We are 2/3 of the way funded!!! Thank you to all who have backed and supported this project. Let’s keep up the momentum!

I'm excited to launch my Kickstarter for my graphic novel, The Thrill of it All! The goal is to raise $600 in 30 days to fund the project (editing, marketing, art stuff, etc.). If I get fully funded, I'm planning to have this published by December!

The Thrill of it All is an illustrated series of vignettes, each recounting a different funny-in-a-weird-way experience I've had over the last few years. There have been many, many of those, but this will be a compendium of the worst of the worst. Bees? Yes. Mannequins? Yes. IBS at a funeral? Yes.

TW for general LGBTQ+-phobia, HIV/AIDS, and Scalia dissents

"Give and Take": A combination of erasure poetry of the opinions of court cases that have given or taken away civil rights to/from the LGBTQ+ community, global PSAs from the AIDS epidemic, and the occasional old medical text. Apologies in advance for the impending essay explaining all the source material:

1. "Another Indication"; Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission SCOTUS opinion with the title page of "Hermaphrodism, from a medico-legal point of view: a thesis presented to the Faculty of Medicine, Paris, 1874 for the degree of doctor of medicine" by Basile Poppesco and an outlined version of the cover of "Transgender: Speaking out for Better Care" by Tongtan Chantarat, et al.

2. "Scalia, dissenting"; Scalia's dissent in United States v. Windsor with an outlined version of a 1990s French HIV awareness ad.

3. "Don't"; Lawrence v. Texas SCOTUS opinion, with a discriminatory AIDS PSA from the National Alliance, published sometime between 1982 and 2000. 

4. "Simply Gay Recreation"; the Bostock v. Clayton County, GA SCOTUS opinion over the cover of "The determination of sex" by Dr. Jean Wodey (1899), with an outline of a Seattle AIDS PSA entitled, "Cream?"

5. "A Constitutional Sense"; Baker v. Nelson SCOTUS opinion with an outlined version of a 1990s French HIV awareness ad over the front page of "Sexual psychoses" by Dr. Morton Prince, likely from the early 20th century.

6. "Scalia Really Thought..."; featuring Scalia's dissent in Obergefell v. Hodges, another 1990s French HIV awareness ad, and Dr. Prince's "Sexual psychoses."

7. "Irreparable Harm"; featuring the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals opinion in Gavin Grimm v. Gloucester County School Board, with an outline of an Australian AIDS PSA.

8. "Values"; Boy Scouts of America v. Dale SCOTUS opinion with an AIDS PSA from the New Zealand AIDS Foundation and an outline of a Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS PSA.

Part 5: Organs.

***

I hate my body the way I hate like, my old earbuds that the cats have gnawed on for months. I don’t care much about the look, but it just doesn’t work right. A plate of fettucine alfredo will make me suffer for three days, a 30-minute nap without a mouthguard leads to a migraine, surprise endometriosis pain will force me to use a cane, and there was the whole epilepsy thing. I tried the body positivity approach, but that felt weird for me, and body neutrality felt wrong because I had trouble staying neutral toward something that often feels so hostile. I'm sure there's a healthier way to process my relationship with my body and disability, but then I wouldn't have these cool body hostility tarot cards.
