Jessica Kellgren-Fozard
Hi everyone !
This is not exactly a fill, but @pridewrite​‘s prompt for Day 7 is 'Role model' and I couldn't resist. I don’t usually care much for youtubers and other content creators (they can be cool, but I don't follow them), but this lady here is the exception.
May I present you...
Jessica KELLGREN-FOZARD
Tumblr media
I found Jessica completely randomly a few years back and never looked back. She is a content creator who specialises in vintage fashion (with tutorials!) She looks fabulous in her outfits and regularly posts new ones!
Per her own words, Jessica adds ‘vintage lesbian fabulousness to a life with disabilities and chronic illnesses’.
She discusses the previous subjects in her videos, mixing serious ones about her disabilities, some about queer history, and quirky ones with her wife Claudia and their cute dogs. These tow lovely ladies also had a baby last year, so you will also have videos about how they’re raising their kid as lesbian moms.
Here is her youtube chanel and here are a few of her looks
Tumblr media
[Image Description] Three pictures: top left corner shows a close-up of a black pair of vintage shoes. Bottom left shows a portrait of a red-haired woman, Jessica K-F, who is tying the ribbon of her dress. Her hair is curled in a vintage style. Her dress is bottle green with black lace. Third pic on the right show Jessica’s entire outfit: green and black dress and black shoes. [End ID]
Tumblr media
[Image Description] Picture of two women kissing: Jessica K-F and her wife Claudia. Jessica on the left is wearing a navy blue, short sleeved dress with soft pink roses. She has a rose in her red hair. Claudia on the right is wearing a raspberry-pink dress with sleeves that end above her elbows. Her black hair is falling over her shoulders. [End ID]

Am I Ready to Continue Writing My Novel?
Learning about my disability and neurodivergence might help me learn how to keep writing.
Roughly a year ago, I wrote a couple of posts about why I decided to stop writing the novel I’d been working on for over a decade: Leaving the Novel in Progress (Part 1) and Leaving the Novel in Progress (Part 2). I needed to focus on my mental and physical health, neither of which were great at the time. I also needed to re-evaluate my reasons for writing the NIP, and for wanting to be a writer…

Just thinking about the fact that I turned in a photo of me using my wheelchair with the text "Disabled people have sex!" overlaid on it for an extra credit assignment in my human sexuality class this semester.

Why I use the word "Disablism" in some contexts
Like most Americans, I used to assume that "Ableism" and "Disablism" were perfect synonyms, and that one was just the American version, and one was the UK version (like the different ways we pronounce "herb").
But in this video (premiered 16 November, 2022), Disability-and-Queer Lifestyle YouTuber Jessica Kellgren-Fozard distinguished between the two this way (quotes taken from the closed captions transcript):
"Ableist assumptions are . . . often unconscious, or at least not ill-intentioned, and most likely come from a place of thoughtlessness or negligence."
But
"[Disablism] . . . encompasses a much uglier kind of discrimination – one that stems from the belief that disabled people are truly inferior to others."
After that distinction was clear to me, I realized that when I, and other Americans, have made the claim: "Ableism is the Root of all Bigotry" (As I did with this graphic and post I made back in 2017), what we're really talking about is Disablism, because the whole point of bigotry is enforcing the belief that some people are "truly inferior" to others, on the basis of presumed disability.
And I think the distinction is important, not because the harms caused by negligence and thoughtlessness are any less severe, but they require different tactics than that of deliberate hostility to combat them.
So I made a new graphic:
Tumblr media
(Also, in my previous graphic, I depicted bigotry flowing upward from the bedrock to the canopy, where in actuality, various bigotries are enforced from the top down, to benefit those at the top of the social and economic hierarchies)

Queer baiting originally referred to essentially catfishing entrapment to 'catch' gay people and prosecute them as criminals. In the modern era we've been using it to refer to a marketing tactic of teasing queer relationships or characters that are never actually portrayed.
What it does NOT refer to, is the free expression of real life individuals who do not owe anyone a public announcement of their sexual orientation or gender identity nor conformity with compulsory heterosexuality.
Remember - The number one rule to never drag irl people out of the closet. But beyond that, by claiming that real people are capable of 'queerbaiting', or that 'straight' people are 'not allowed' to do anything but conform, we would also be demanding that people never experiment with their clothing, never experiment with their sexuality, and never work out or evolve how they identify.
Don't force people to stay in the closet in the name of gay rights.

Every time one of my favorite vintage and/or costume historian YouTubers does a collab with American Duchess I am SO tempted...
(Karolina Zebrowska, Bernadette Banner, and now Jessica Kellgren-Fozard? If only these shoes were on sale more often...)
