"Thanks to my new sword," said the student.

The swordmaster studied the blade and frowned. "This is enchanted?"

"You know about cursed swords that whisper that you should kill?"

"Yes?"

"This tells me I'm loved and valid."

Now they finally have a chance to continue.

Just reblog it.

It costs nothing, but it might reach someone who can actually change everything.

The white-hot liquid glass is hot enough to light the branch on fire.

While the branch is catching on fire, the liquid glass coats it completely, trapping the plant matter away from oxygen, and it can't continue burning without oxygen.

Originally it started with wanting to highlight a lack of trans experiences. From my experiences cruising archives, I noticed that the vast material available and work that existed in these spaces were trans femme films and art. One day, I had a memorable encounter and feedback that immediately shaped how I expanded the archive going forward. I organized a trans film screening and was approached by a group of women after the event. They asked where the films that depicted the transmasc experience were. Their feedback motivated me to fill that evident gap. Importantly, it made me realize there was a wider desire to experience transmasc films and artwork just beyond myself and that people were as thirsty as I was for it.  From that point onwards, I was obsessed with expanding representations of trans masculinity. My passion is to fill the gap and recover trans masc films. When the London Short Film Festival and TAPE Collective reached out to me to curate a screening, I decided to focus on the forgotten archives of the transmasc experience. I found a lot of really exciting and important work through Vimeo. It was like an abyss of transmasc work with like six views scattered without a place to view such incredible work.  I think creating an archive because there is a lack of one, and wanting to highlight transmasc representations aren’t mutually exclusive; they go hand in hand. The Forgotten Archives of Trans Masc event allowed Otherness Archive to become fully realized, and therefore expand—our original venue was capacity for 25 people, but the event sold out three times as our venue changed for capacity reasons. We ended up showing the work at Genesis Cinema in London with a capacity of 350 people.
