Aya [Brown]’s scenic depictions beam with ghetto nuance and seduction. Her work is intersectional—she takes artifacts from Black and queer culture and fuses them, putting a face to the often unseen. Aya’s art suggests that lowbrow is the latest highbrow response to boring straight white male culture. Her style draws upon figures both living and deceased, from Missy Elliott to Toni Morrison. It’s nasty foreplay and sensual love. It’s Black Lesbian pride. “It is one of my biggest missions in life to document my own history, BLACK LESBIAN history,” she tells office. “This is not a game of telephone. I don’t want a little Black girl to learn about us, from anyone but us.”

From Laura Aguilar’s Plush Pony, a series chronicling the denizens of a lesbian bar in El Sereno, LA in the 1990s.

- it makes it seem as though being tender makes you less butch when we’re already some of the most tender people  

- seriously, some of you will see a butch fucking smile and go “omggg this soft butch!!”

- often used in connection with the butch-femme scale which is a load of crap  

- building off of point 3, I see it used by people who aren’t butch a looot. what the fuck do you people think butch is, you like to wear a belt, eyeliner and a floral button up?? what is butch to you people even.

- literally it makes it seem as if there’s a scale of butch when it is literally as simple as you’re butch or you’re not. if you feel like butch is constraining, you’re not butch and that’s chill but don’t make it seem like butch is an evil box you’re being forced into lmao 

- it’s often internalized butchphobia because “I’m not like those other ugly butches” or “I’m too pretty to be butch” and indirectly brings butches down (point 1)

- also sometimes used to mean butch bottom when you could literally just say. butch bottom 

- there’s probably more but basically: I want to take a sledge hammer to this term for good and this isn’t the eloquent essay I wanted to write but fuck it

fat butch women aren’t ‘a stereotype to avoid’, they’re a wildly under- and misrepresented demographic inordinately targeted by the ‘predatory lesbian’ trope

I am a genealogist and do record research through ancestry.com, findagrave, and multiple different genealogical databases and independent record research depending on need. I have experience researching people of a variety of different ethnicities, family histories, and backgrounds. I am a thorough researcher and have helped over 100 people, people who can testify to the quality of my work. I charge on a scale per hour depending on what people can pay, standard $35, but if you can, $55 or $75. This is a fair price for the level of quality and research I put into the work that I do. For commission inquiries, comment and I will DM you more about my process.

I am no longer feeling ill and would like to get back to commissions! :)
