editing is so funny because it's like "damn, i wrote 'before' two times within three paragraphs. they are going to stone me in the town square for this"

if u are ever stuck in a story u need to remembr that a piece of paper is quite generously proportioned in the x and y directions. so if you tryto escape a story by living it youll keep going and going a long time and never make it out. but in the z direction it is tightly limkted. so you simply need to stack stories on stories on stories until the page bursts and you r free. scheherazade knew this

Kiki Smith: ‘Constellation’ at Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art (1996)

I’ve had a fondness for this 1916 George Plank illustration from “The Freaks of Mayfair” for years and have wanted to recreate it for some time. Although the “Aunt Georgie” short story treats the character’s rejection of the gender binary as a funny peculiarity, it gives a surprisingly sympathetic and open-minded view of a trans-spectrum person for the early 20th century, which I found quite charming. 

You can read it here (chapter 2) though just a heads up it uses He pronouns when referring to a transfemme person (X)
