It sounds like sirens.
Yes
I think so
Right?!?!
Thank you for speaking up for trans kids!
Thank you!!!!
This may be the worst data visualization I have ever seen. Read below for some hot takes about this shit dataviz by the super transphobic @nytimes.com
It is notable that variations of the Samesies myth of The Wave of Mutilation exist across many gender variant communities, This monument stands as a permanentreminder of the reclamation of the very idea of mutilation, and the variety ofways that Samesies can healthily arrive in utopia.
…that they constructed in the shape of a pregnant seahorse to form Samesies Island. Once believed to be the only means to arrive on Samsies Island, theWave of Mutilation is now understood to be a myth.
I’ve been thinking of this older work lately. This is “The Wave of Mutilation” from 2015- and yes it’s a Pixies nod.
The Wave of Mutilation” is a semi–permanent wave off of the coast of Samesies Island. The wave appeared when a group of transmen decided to set sea in search of utopia…
Reminding me that we used to have a very similar object in our house growing up…
Don't wait to make your freaky kinky weird queer art. Don't wait until you feel more secure in your drawing/painting/painting/sculpture/performance skills. Do it now, cause your fellow queers need every drop of it.
A short musing on the co**p
Racism is the avatar of class struggle.
It's the sword and the shield of capitalism.
It is also why we are in this mess:
-Failed Reconstruction
-Lost Cause Mythology
-Conservative backlash against Brown. V. Board
-Neoliberalism
What did we expect?
Yesssss. Thanks.
Love this so much!
This is so good!
Nope- didn’t do us any favors. Hard agree.
A group of students came up with the phrase “GAFer” in class yesterday. I told them it sounds like a position in a film/tv set. They said it stands for “give a fuck”-er, as in, someone who cares as opposed to IDGAF. Brilliant.
Same!
Thank you!
Where is this from?
Yes I’m wondering too. Or will trans people in this situation just have to hope for an informed sympathetic agent at the border coming and going?
if you send me a screenshot of a donation of $25 or more to an organization helping immigrants (like Immigration Equality) or trans people (like Transgender Law Center) I will send you an Atlas and pay for shipping myself.
Maybe you need some queer/trans utopian dreaming in your life? For the cost of shipping (about $5), I will send you a copy of 5 maps of collaboratively imagined trans/queer utopias in A Different Horizon Atlas made by me and over 20 collaborators. Or,
I have been thinking a lot about what this next administration will bring and about how universities can be proactive in protecting and supporting trans faculty, staff and students. I wrote about here:

Would love to be added to this list! Thank you for doing this.
My favorite kind of light.
Horizons give me hope. They are all around us, they are in everything around you if you allow your scale to shift. This sculpture was made before the election in September last year, and envisions preserving history and hope in a safer space, inside a horizon.
