Reposted from @spunnomadittyco Me and Chastity from @dyehardyarns_op have created a weekly Queer Stitch Group and it is very special to me because I've never been accepted in many queer spaces, I never felt comfortable or safe! Most of the queer spaces are filled with white cis people that either have been blatantly racist, sugar coated their racism and/or looked the other way when it happens. Those "safe" spaces were not made for me and they absolutely excluded whatever was below their standards of queerness, you had to fit in their narrow box to "fit" in. That's why when Chastity suggested the notion of creating a space for us I jumped on it, I want to be surrounded by those who don't fit in and those who appreciate the people that lifted them up! I want a space where people can feel like they are at home, a space where people won't be judged by what makes them special! That's what we want to create an actual safe space for queers! I hope you can join us! Our meeting is every Sunday from 3 to 6 PM Central, if you're new send me or @dyehardyarns_op a DM with your email to receive a link and password to the meeting, your email won't be used for any other reason, if you're coming back a reminder email will be sent to you I'm not here to educate, I'm here to set boundaries #QueerKnitters #QueerCrocheters #QueersInFiber #QueerStitchGroup #ChicagoQueers - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/B_KVDhCJDXC/?igshid=11uv59cs9dv6l

This Saturday I’m super excited to be part of the Queer Makers Market @in_these_times. I’ll be selling books, broadsides, and posters alongside some of my favorite queer artists, healers, makers & creatives in Chicago. Swipe for the lineup & come visit us on the second floor, which is accessible by elevator from 11AM-5PM. Thanks to @itsmonicatrinidad @pidgeo_n @grae.galindo for organizing this. #queerchicago #queerart #chicagoqueers #queerchicagoart #queermakers #queermakersmarketchi (at In These Times) https://www.instagram.com/p/B59DKDWFAES/?igshid=xslsjmk8dwwy

Thrilled & humbled to share that this lino cut print I made several years ago will be featured in an upcoming Showtime tv series about Chicago queers. Swipe to see the enlarged version that will appear in the show, which is called Work in Progress. Big thanks to Lilly Wachowski for buying this piece last year & including it. #transart #transbathrooms #transtv #queertv #chicagoqueers #linocut #linocutprint (at Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2rJK7XF6sV6dMBm1GlOD4Lil1z9oEpdv8p5Eo0/?igshid=6a5d79l7o790

I’m feeling extremely emotional & moved by the ribbon cutting & unveiling of this mural of @iamkiam in Boystown with all the artists @iamsamkirk @andybmix & @santongiorgi present. Queer family in Chicago runs deep & it’s beautiful to witness people being honored while they’re still here. Don’t wait to celebrate & recognize your own people & community. #queermurals #chicagomurals #queerchicago #chicagoqueers #queerart #chicagoart (at Boystown) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoVcjK2FfjfRMV3gVi6TXqhHIhzZ5I73_49grA0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gs9zdquyvnpm

I’m so proud of @beacordelia & @danielkyri for portraying the beauty of queer & trans friendship, love, art & community through @thetwebseries and their lives offscreen. Their story is a testament to the power of youth arts programs & underground queer spaces to bring people together across the city to create meaningful art & relationships together. It was a joy to interview them for @chicago_reader. #thet #thettv #thetwebseries #chicagoqueers #queerwebseries #queerart https://www.instagram.com/p/Bl8DGYjlKSmSQ9SQPB3_NKmcl-wm15GfjwlG1Q0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1d5twn3lahowg
