So Ralph, being a fake husband, played for sitcom illusion, as a code for Agatha’s own queer narrative makes sense. It from just “campy” to coded grief and survival. Agatha’s magic being purple, the lavender flower associations, the forced domesticity in Wanda’s illusion, all collapse into this quiet scream of reality. 💜

That's what letting in tells me. I have the ownership over my story. I get to curate my truth, my identity, and who sees me for who I really am in my full queer self. So, if coming out feels heavy today, maybe try thinking of it as letting in.

I think I might identify somewhat with femme lesbians, but I have a hard time reading queer theory because it’s too relatable. 😅 I’ve read Anzaldua and Feinburg. Any suggestions for lesbian literature that explores femme-butch culture, but preferably something that will only make me cry a little bit as opposed to something like Stone Butch Blues that ripped my goddamn heart out? 😅

Judith Butler, Gender Trouble, 1990

Portrait of philosopher, author and activist Michel Foucault (1926-1984). I actually wanted to draw some other heroes first, but after attending a delightful conference on political philosophy, I decided to draw omnipresent Foucault right away. Foucault wrote extremely important theories on the structures of power, but, as a student in queer theory, I am especially interested in his work on the history of sexuality. #michelfoucault #foucault #philosophy #politicalphilosophy #philosopher #queertheory #queerthinker #portrait #author #activist https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd3YmsoNyGV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Ann Cvetkovich, “An Archive of Feelings”

Mohon bantuan rekan-rekan untuk memilih sampul yang paling cucok ya Love, Queer Etc. ________ English: "Queer etc." is a collection of personal essays that explore what 'queer' and 'queerness' means in Indonesia. This volume brings the personal experience of 17 (seventeen) authors coming from diverse backgrounds, including transman, transwoman, heterosexual ally, gay, bisexual, non-binary, people with disability, people living with HIV, Indonesian-Chinese minority, religious group, rural community, grassroots activist, and 'animal/non-human being'. As one of the editors, I see and feel how every author explores queerness in their distinctive way, expanding what 'queer' means beyond just an identity marker and showing their agency and power in living their queer lives. Featuring: senior gay activist, Dede Oetomo; winner of Jakarta's Arts Council's novel-writing contest, Minanto; CONQ web-series actor, Rizal Iwan; queer-feminist religious group, Kolektif As-Salam; book reviewer, Desca Ang, a gay comic creator, Amahl S. Azwar, psychologist and writer Diana Mayorita, and many more.... Coming Soon in June 2021. ______ Bahasa Indonesia: “Queer etc.” adalah sebuah kumpulan esai personal yang menjelajahi makna ‘queer’ dan ‘queerness’ dalam konteks Indonesia. Buku ini mengangkat pengalaman pribadi dari 17 (tujuh belas) penulis dengan beragam latar belakang, meliputi transpria, transpuan, sekutu heteroseksual, gay, biseksual, non-biner, orang dengan disabilitas, orang yang hidup dengan HIV, minoritas Indonesia-Tionghoa, kelompok keagamaan, masyarakat pedesaan, aktivis akar rumput, dan ‘hewan/non-manusia’. Sebagai salah satu editornya, saya melihat dan merasakan bagaimana setiap penulis menjelajahi queerness dengan cara mereka masing-masing, memperluas pemaknaan queer melampaui kotak-kotak identitas dan memperlihatkan agensi dan kekuataan mereka dalam hidupnya. #queerindonesia #queeretc #lgbt #lgbtindonesia #trans #queerstudies #queertheory #indonesia #lgbtq🌈 #books #eabooks #penulisindonesia #indonesianqueerstudies #lgbtindonesia #seriqueer #gender #seksualitas Reposted from @hendryulius (at Desca's Library) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQlPUXyLXjR/?utm_medium=tumblr
