in action, how like an angel

🏳️‍⚧️ TRANSGENDER DAY OF VISIBILITY 🏳️‍⚧️

Oh also! Both for pride and because I want to post more of my original stuff here, here's a zine I made for my recent screenprinting class! :p It's called Masculine Women and it's about being masculine and a woman! Fun fact, also, when you unfold the real thing, there's a big poster on the back! It looks like this:

Before the Fall

The docu-short, Stitch & Time, is now available online for free

This very short film offers a quick but intimate look at end-of-life care in prisons as incarcerated men serving life sentences, Billy Ray and Clay, start a crochet group to create blankets, hats, and comfort items for fellow incarcerated men in the hospice unit

I've had the joy of working with directors David and Scott on programming and know through other endeavors how committed Billy Ray and Clay are creating care in spaces that intentionally deny it 

On a personal note, I’ve watched this documentary many times while preparing for various events, and I find myself noticing or gleaning something new and different each time. I find the juxtaposition between punishment and care to be deeply moving (I know moving sounds trite but sometimes that’s just what it is). 

I know in abolitionist spaces a conversation that comes up is how trying to change the quality of life within prisons is “just putting a bow on it” and I hear that, but in the meantime, those are real people and tangible acts of care, no matter how small, can have incredible value 

Tyler has been unbelievably helpful with getting this game off the ground. He's someone who believes in holding the door open behind you. He helped us playtest this thing, and he was kind enough to provide us this blurb. Thanks Tyler!
