the white lighter

Admittedly, this blog and its maintainer have eclectic tastes. "Eclectic," as you might suspect, is a nice way of saying that there is very little intertwining theme to any of this. If you end up liking some (or most) of the things I like, you might find that wondrous.

In less subtle language, a few of the things you might see here: coffee/barista nerdery, androgyny and gender-fucking, gender studies in general, feminist theory, sex-positive imagery, fat people, photography and art of varying medium and subject, cat-related anything as well as my own feline friend, owls, tattoos, self-portraiture, nakedness, intermittent music of the people I love, writing, books, flea markets and thrift stores, Frida Kahlo, Patti Smith, anything related to my city of Philadelphia, me attempting to be less racist, and the sporadic, enjoyable internet meme I cannot resist. But I'll try to keep that last one to a minimum.

I seek to post only items which are credited to the originator, be it fine art, photography, tattoos, or writing. If you see something uncredited, do feel free to point it out to me. Also: ask anything. Call me out if I fuck up. Give props if you feel like it. Ask questions. I like internet interaction.

weakmeatstrongeat answered your question: What other animals should I try to draw?

I have a feeling you already know what I’m going to suggest…

A pigeon! With a hat!

Yay! Yay with a hat!

Worked 7-2:30 at the coffee shop, told off some middle aged white men who think they can handle The magic Black pussy, bought $100 in records, laughed in the rain and wrote some new parts for my new band. Today was so solid.

I’ve looked at hundreds of Tumblrs; I am very impressed with your age cohorts. Many of them. It’s like phosphorous in the sea, hundreds of voices overlapping, sometimes connecting. But other aspects are pretty frightening. Tumblr is in many ways like an amazing comprehensive historical record of how my generation failed your generation.
