It’s not hyperbole that part of what kept the queer liberation movement going in the Reagan era was the partying part of the “bury your friends in the morning, protest in the afternoon, and dance at night” schedule. Without joy there is no air left to fight

Em Hoover sees his partner in a 350 year old sculpture. Both their beautiful forms of masculinity span the centuries, inspiring reverence and love from their admirers. #TransDayofVisibility www.ohjoysextoy.com/what-faith-r...

Page one starts with a beautifully rendered picture of the statue of Saint Teeresa, holding an arrow made of golden light. The narration covers this comic and it’s all drawn in blues and yellows with characters looking very classical and statue-like.
Narration “When I first saw the Ecstasy of Saint Theresa I knew that Angel was you”

“That was your soft face, your curves, in marble."
We see a pretty face! Followed by the X and Y symbol.
“The world seems to have its own idea of what a boy is.”

A curvy, statuesque figure lays in a bed with wings.
“But it’s you. It’s us.”

Page 2
The statuesque figure is natural drawn and a little more human and alive now. He's a curvy trans man sitting in the bathtub, radiating yellow glows like a religious painting
“I know you think it’s silly when I snap photos of you in the bath-”

“-in bed-”
The person is now lying back in bed. He's rolled over so that we can see his butt, as he spoons a plushy! He quickly gets up and stands out of bed in some PJs while checking the phone.
“-lounging unposed-”

In a similar position, this person is now dressed in armor and flowing garments, regal and classical, holding a sword.
“But you look truly classical. The culmination of every God, Saint, and angel I studied in our history.”

The angelic figure is joined by another, the scene is intimate as the newcomer lovingly grasps the angel's breast
“Please, pierce me with your arrow."

Page 3
“Alone in this room, we can be completely ourselves. There are no boundaries to what a boy is here.”
The naked figures embrace and lay down, as if about to kiss, they are angelic with their wings, and halos.

The two bodies start to drip and sweat in delight
“We know a boy is breasts, curves, and wet flesh.”

We see golden leaves, falling away from the clouds
“A boy melts into his lover and treasures the divinity he finds.”

The camera pulls back, for a close-up of their faces and we see the two of them kiss
"Thank you for filling me up. Thank you for letting me in.”

Page 4

The two fall asleep in the clouds, one holding the other's head, while he contemplates.
“In the afterward, I think about how the world is missing out. In their search for the impossible, they try to render us invisible.”

The camera pulls back again, and we see the first angelic character again laying down in cloud-like pillows, surrounded by gold, as the narrator starts to finish the comic “But no set of rules or standards can rival what faith reveals.”

“Because if you aren’t a boy, then they must not exist at all.”
The comic ends with the two of them, now, very much statuesque one holding the other's head in their hand.

--

Today's wonderfully poetic comic was written and drawn by Em Hoover who can be found at https://www.emhoover.com/
It was then transcribed by Matthew Nolan on 12/18/23 who tried his best to capture a bit of the magic Em was putting down!

3 Aug 25 - New study shows vast "over-representation of trans boys" turns out to be vast _under-representation_ of trans girls bec. they: a) come out ~10 years later; b) start puberty later; & c) delay transitioning longer because of deep social animus towards AMAB femininity. tinyurl.com/yrwvmxws

One of the most disheartening things about trans advocacy is how little the people who claim to be on our side actually listen to us. "trans-identifying", "biological sex", and a variety of other GC dogwhistles have become common parlance because people listen to our enemies, but not us.

@prisonculture.bsky.social and I have been encouraging people to read chapter six of our book, Let This Radicalize You, which deals with the question of "violence" in social movements. We have decided to share the chapter publicly, to offer some context and grounding for the current conversation.

This is such a great thing to tell liberals who really disagree with extrajudicial kidnappings by ICE, but "don't agree with the rioters either." A lot of them are obsessed with being pragmatic so if you give them a material good coming from the protests it can change their calculus.

We're living at a moment when ICE is threatening not only to arrest and deport immigrants but arrest and prosecute everyday people and leaders for educating others about their constitutional rights. Helping to defend our immigrant communities is one clear action that we can all take right now. ⤵️

No cop cars were being set on violence until cops spent hours shooting and brutally maiming protestors all of today, as well as pummeling them with blunt force violence with batons and chemical weapons with tear gas. This is the community of LA defending itself from police repression.

Given the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the ‘deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation. I’m not sure what it is. A kidnapping?

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.
