Urban Women presents a different and lesser-known image of the late Middle Ages, from 1250 to 1550. The authors trace the lives of women protesting, marrying, making love, working, and engaging in the daily life of Low Countries towns. In doing so, this book gives voice to wealthy businesswomen, laborers, religious women, criminals, and sex workers, spotlighting the remarkable figures who shaped a "women's town" within a man's world.

I had a big ‘Everything Is Art’ moment when I was helping my friend’s dad with some house-building tasks
I was screwing in wall outlet plates and got asked whether the slots on the screw heads were meant to be vertically or horizontally aligned
I said “I don’t think it matters” - because why would it? that’s such a small detail. surely no one notices every screw head in their home
but the friend’s dad overheard and started laughing. “it matters,” he said. “you’re an artist - surely you understand? we’re doing vertical positioning.”
and it just clicked for me. of course it mattered - the house was artwork I was collaborating on and everything had design, from the position of screws to connections of the side paneling.

I think it's ultimately soooo funny that Kevin is not a sports (plural) guy. He likes one (1) sport and it's the one his mommy created

Little Sokka
Initially i was painting this as a lighting study. But then I understood that it could be a little Sokka who brought his big catch to his village

Is there a reading lust for queer history and or queer theory that you would recommend?
Yes absolutely! I have curated a couple lists for this!
For physical books
For audiobooks
These are both affiliate lists, so a part of the profits go to Making Queer History, but feel free to use as a reference to find the books elsewhere if you prefer!

Shelves I built for my mother's yarn over the course of 4 days.
Inspired by the late JoAnn Fabrics of course.
