the white lighter
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.

This is where I get all of my hair dye locally, just so y’all know. Philadelphia, you can get the full line of Special FX dye (assuming they are producing the full line, they are notorious for making some colors once per year).

Burial At Sea is a depiction of the “burial by winds”, a life unattached to the world or existing in the world but not of it, washed to the ocean unnoticed by anyone/thing. This ballpoint pen drawing is in the back bedroom near the closet next to the window right now at 6:06 PM EST Jan. 15 2013. Exact dimensions forthcoming. Thank you for reading!
If you like art, please consider following my friend’s new tumblr. His name is Justin Duerr and I have posted his art here before.

Philadelphia: 2nd Annual Philly Trans March, October 6, 2012.
“‘Not only a rally and demonstration, but a revolutionary movement and a celebration of ALL gender identities, expressions and experiences,’ the 2012 Trans March drew hundreds up and down Broad Street. Dedicated to Kyra (Kruz) Cordova, a 27 year old transgender woman found shot in the head on September 3, speakers also spoke about CeCe McDonald and other cases of injustice against trans people.”
