Gender is just another border. And borders aren't real. But hoooo aren't they violently enforced.

Coolest couple in the neighborhood. Photo from my collection, 1937.

Black and white photo of a young light skinned black woman in a dark beret and turtleneck sweater, sitting outside of the brick steps of a wooden house porch. Next to her is a shorthaired white cat looking very curiously into the distance, but the cat is restrained by the woman’s hand and also a harness if it should decide to run off and investigate.

i took some time to make a couple of new pieces of decor out of my collection of foraged finds ✨ (+ audio book progress because why not & cat tax because duhhh)

a hand holding up a wall hanging made out of foraged materials, including an acorn cap, bone, a hagstone, a chestnut, sticks, a devil pod, and a pinecone

small paper mystery bags with a linocut eye stamp on the front, being displayed in a shallow box made of foraged materials, including sticks, moss, pinecones & mushrooms

sooo I actually got a few of these done today lol new illustration, customized a frame for it, finished a faerie banner, returned to the most gorgeous cemetery I’ve ever stepped foot in, took product photos, & I’m about to get cozy with Skyrim<3 zines, print making & finishing Two Towers tomorrow~

a product photo of the following items; a small handmade banner hanging from a low tree branch with a woodcut mushroom design in the center, an illustration of a cat-sìth (faerie cat) sitting next to a turnip jack-o-lantern in a frame customized with a bunch of twigs, and a small coffin-shaped box tied with twine in the forefront

rolling hills of a woodsy garden cemetery with a blossoming pink tree and a winding road cutting through the landscape

a closeup of dead leaves, young wild flowers, and an acorn on the forest floor

a gravestone engraved with “all be as before, love, -only sleep!

today I visited one of my favorite cemeteries & found a stinky pile of gull bones [ #graveyardphotography #darkart #mementomori #newengland #graves ]

a small brick cemetery shed covered in bare vines with the year 1890 etched into the doorway

a small Victorian era gravestone marked only with the name Gracie and a small stone sheep perched on top

a close up of the top of an old gravestone; a cherub design at the top of the stone with “in memory of” etched beneath it

i get it. i’ve lost friends & family who said they aligned w/ me & then upheld the status quo. i’ve also been criticized for trying the harm-reduction route. dem politicians were never gonna save us, but finding community w/ regular people who also want the same thing & fighting with them might.

010

𝚗𝚒𝚔𝚒 @xijilik.bsky.social · 13/04/2025

yeah, this isn’t it. do you pay your taxes? if so, you’re FUNDING genocide. do you hear how insane that sounds? voters don’t support genocide the same way that taxpayers aren’t writing the checks that perpetuate a genocide. we’re all hostages. you’re no better for boasting about choosing inaction 👍

010

𝚗𝚒𝚔𝚒 @xijilik.bsky.social · 13/04/2025

i’m not fighting you. i don’t disagree that change comes from demanding it, but fighting WITH people who agree w/ you rather than AGAINST them bc your strategies don’t match exactly is goofy. we could’ve fought the system w/o giving a petty, narcissistic psychopath the power to incite MORE violence.

110

𝚗𝚒𝚔𝚒 @xijilik.bsky.social · 12/04/2025

it’s almost as if we believe the exact same thing! the only part you’re missing: change happens when people come together & support EACH OTHER instead of prioritizing our own feelings. this system sucks & i didn’t want to vote for either, but i did. we couldn’t unify to fight the larger threat.

*** & when i say “he’ll kill us too,” i’m not insinuating that anyone’s life is more valuable than anyone else’s. any genocide is abhorrent! i only mean that he’ll also oust those of us who have the will to speak out & push for change. we can’t be helpful to anyone if we’re not around to fight.

𝚗𝚒𝚔𝚒 @xijilik.bsky.social · 12/04/2025

neither are good! it just would’ve made sense to oppose the guy who wants to illegally deport citizens who oppose him to a super prison, so we could’ve fought the other. what’s sad is that he’ll kill us too as the genocide continues. what’s sad is that infighting continues & we *still* won’t unify.

𝚗𝚒𝚔𝚒 @xijilik.bsky.social · 11/04/2025

inevitable as in THERE WAS NOT A SINGLE VIABLE CANDIDATE WHO WAS GOING TO STOP FUNDING GENOCIDE & OPTING OUT OF VOTING WASN’T GONNA STOP IT EITHER. just because you’re against something doesn’t mean it’s just gonna immediately stop happening, omfg. this magical thinking w/ no action shit is TIRED.

000

𝚗𝚒𝚔𝚒 @xijilik.bsky.social · 10/04/2025

well, lucky for you, we likely won’t have the opportunity to vote again. regardless of how or if you voted, genocide was unfortunately inevitable, & it’s even worse now. the dems won’t save us, & neither will swinging at people for how they voted or didn’t vote.

𝚗𝚒𝚔𝚒 @xijilik.bsky.social · 10/04/2025

what’s sad is that you’re disregarding the implications that came w/ DT’s win & are now painting leftists, who begrudgingly voted to oppose the larger threat to ALL, as anti-arab. this system sucks, but what’re you actively doing to dismantle it now? drop your suggestions, i don’t agree w/ it either

000

𝚗𝚒𝚔𝚒 @xijilik.bsky.social · 10/04/2025

lol so you’re gonna tell me i was wrong for assuming DT would also be genocidal & then admit that he’s *now* also genocidal in the same breath… did you think he was gonna free Palestine if KH didn’t win? are YOU okay?? dems suck, but weren’t gunning for WW3. put the knife down & take accountability.

100

𝚗𝚒𝚔𝚒 @xijilik.bsky.social · 10/04/2025

dems *keep* failing us. & whatever helps you sleep, i guess. i’d have rather been a “tool of the empire” & try to protect others than to be some self-righteous bandwagoner w/ no skin in the game & whose conscience was more important than the lives of the lesser privileged folks around them 👍

100

𝚗𝚒𝚔𝚒 @xijilik.bsky.social · 10/04/2025

i’m a leftist too who is worried about my folks being kidnapped, trafficked or murdered. i don’t support genocide. there would’ve been no vote that would have stopped that & that breaks my heart. but, a vote against DT was a vote to reduce harm for EVERYONE. we couldn’t unify to stop him. we failed.

110

𝚗𝚒𝚔𝚒 @xijilik.bsky.social · 10/04/2025

nah, miss me with that. realistically, it was KH or DT. the baggage that came with the alternative to not vote for KH was disregarding the marginalized people here by sitting on your hands instead of fighting to keep a violent, transphobic, genocidal maniac with dementia out of the white house.

these are all great suggestions! personally, i just printed copies of my own little zine today with a bunch of free & easy ideas/actions that the average person can do to help get us (& each other) through these times & i plan on passing ‘em out to friends & fam~

a black & white collaged zine opened to two pages; the left page displaying a graphic of a broken tv with “cancel unnecessary subscriptions” written across it, while the right page displays a graphic of a stack of books with “visit your local library & get yourself a library card” written on the bindings.

a black & white collaged zine opened to two pages; the left page displaying a graphic of hand washing, a masked girl & vaccines with a radial design at the tip surrounding the words “mind your health”, while the right page displays a graphic of a hand dialing a rotary phone beneath three diagonal arrows & beside a feminine protester with “no mercy for fascism” on their sign & the words “make some noise!” in the center of the page.

a black and white photo collage of various vintage clippings of the following: a stack of five books with “visit your local library & get yourself a library card” written on the bindings, surrounded by a simple botanical design

a black and white photo collage of various vintage clippings of the following: a vintage television with the text “cancel unnecessary subscriptions” written across its cracked screen, with a mirrored image of a hand pointing a toy ray gun at a hypnotic spiral above and below the television

a black and white photo collage of various vintage clippings of the following: three slanted arrows pointing to the text “make some noise!” above an image of a feminine hand dialing a rotary phone and beside an image of a protester holding a sign that reads “no mercy for fascism”
