I absolutely loathe Izzy’s use of ‘Eddie’ here. It causes a visceral reaction in me. I know we hear Ed’s subconscious apply it through Hornigold in the gravy basket, and Izzy uses it a couple of times on his deathbed. I don’t think it’s meant directly as an insult, but there’s something so belittling and reductive about its use here.

Of course, an ‘Eddy’ is a small whirlpool fighting against the current…

Sometimes the captions for my photos just fall out of my head like bam bam bam. Other times, I just cannot find that right word or combination of words that does the image justice. I don't like letting them go captionless. I've done it sometimes, but... it doesn't feel right :)

To think that these humans could reduce something so gigantic and marvelous into something so simple was wonderful beyond belief.

Susan smiled at me, giving Molly the Female Once-Over—a process by which one woman creates a detailed profile of another woman based upon about a million subtle details of clothing, jewelry, makeup, and body type, and then decides how much of a social threat she might be. Men have a parallel process, but it’s binary: Does he have beer? If yes, will he share with me? —Jim Butcher/Changes

Get weird for Valentine’s Day! Or even weirder for whatever other occasion with these fine hand carved woodcut anatomical heart prints from PJ Superior.

Choose your symbolism with Innie (Divine Feminine) or Outie (Sublime Masculine)

(Miss PJ was born intersex hence the inspiration in exploring such themes with a “gender is in the heart” philosophy.)

The original woodblocks to create these prints were carved in the traditional Japanese reductive style in three layers of color on brown recycled chip board card stock. The backs were printed with hand set vintage letterpress type by PJ Superior at the now defunct Church of Type in Santa Monica, CA

I know i’m functionally a gay DARE officer at this point but I do in fact feel some sort of way about Cocaine being back in vogue. Surely I sound like a square + narc and I’ll concede ok do whatever you want, nobody can materially stop another person from using drugs if they really want to 🤷🏻 I don’t really care that it’s hip to do party drugs, moreso I want to articulate a general level of caution and concern that I never see a sidecar of harm reduction and safe using practices along with the commonplace clips of people straight up snorting coke I’ve seen for “brat summer!!!1!!”

You 🫵 are not immune to ingesting fentanyl or any number of other additives. Do you think drugs at the gay club are different than the drugs people are taking under bridges and in gutters? I promise they’re not! So if you want to use drugs and continue being alive, do your part to be safe. Protecting yourself protects others and your community.

Do not accept drugs from strangers. Test your drugs with fentanyl test strips. Carry narcan and know how to administer it. Never use alone. Have an exit strategy if you’re using drugs in a public space. Know the contact information for your local harm reduction groups, overdose emergency hotline, and if you need/want it, addiction treatment orgs. This is all the bare minimum for community care if you intend to be out in the world using drugs. Mainly I encourage you all to be buzzkills if it means you don’t have to die of an accidental overdose. Overdose is the leading cause of death for Americans under 40. I have a whole lot of social workers in my network and however bad you think the synthetic opioid crisis is, it’s worse. The war stories I’ve heard from my people on the ground are… The shit of nightmares. Don’t let it be you or anybody you love.

If you live in the state of Georgia, DM me for a longer list of resources.

In honor of my original meme hitting over 99k notes on tumblr dot com, I’ve made a sequel nearly 4 years later!

To be female still means being trapped within the purely psychological. No matter how dispassionate or large a vision of the world a woman formulates, whenever it includes her own experience and emotion, the telescope's turned back on her.

I am mad about cellphone cameras hiding the processing they do, and I am glad about software that lets me control it and opt in and out, and I dictated this rant on insta so I am resharing the images here and will attempt to turn this into a useful text post on my blog in future, when my hand is working better 🤘👍
