I'm a trans woman but in a 'I am so trans that every gender I experience is through a trans lens. Saying I'm just a woman wouldn't be accurate at all; without the trans prefix my womanhood is cancelled out and overshadowed even more by the other parts of my gender' kind of way, ya know?

Edit: this wasn't meant to other trans women and I apologize if it came off that way dkjdbd.

#just rambling tbh #rambles at unhinged times of day/night #genderfuck #genderqueer #genderpunk #trans woman #transfem #it's weird cuz I'm allergic to being referred to as a woman by other people lmfao. #maybe I still have a lot of internalized transphobia to unpack #because I feel the need to perform hypermasculinity in order to be taken seriously as a trans person. #transfemneumasc #queer #lgbtq #lgbt #trans #transgender #multigender #like I'm a 'woman' in a nonbinary way. a womxn if you will. #a woman in a faggy way ya feel me?

12. why the 1880s?

something about this decade really sings to me. I find in particular, nearing the end of the nineteenth century, so much was happening on around the world in terms of arts, politics, technology, colonization. world events and global news don’t personally reach the day-to-day lives of the everyday folk, but they are an important part in gauging what life, thought, and society was about—what things were important then and now?

basically for myself, reminding me of notable things that occured during the 1880s—some thematic, some of relevance to context and characters, and the rest just ?? interesting and/or wild?

cocaine is a hot new cure for everything and anything. perscribed, sold in foods and more. heroine introduced as a lesser-addictive substitute for morphine…

lots of developments in fields of psychology; many experiments and happenings; Freud starts his work 1886.

1880-1914 had +twenty million immigrants to the United States: Germany, Ireland, England, China had the most arrivals.

William Dorsey Swann, the first self-proclaimed drag queen, organizes a series of drag balls in Washington, D.C. 1880-1890s.

Jack the Ripper claims his “first” victim in 1888 White Chapel, London. big scare.

Sherlock Holmes first appears in Arthur Conan Doyle’s A Study In Scarlet as part of the British magazine’s Beeton’s Christmas Annual in 1887.

Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson is published in 1886. Gothic fiction, drawing from emerging fields of science and psychology. & Treasure Island was published earlier in 1883 by him too!

Mark Twain drops The Prince and the Pauper (1881), Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court (1889).

Bel-Ami, Guy de Maupassant’s second novel is published in 1885. about a man who seduces and manipulates high society French women in the French colonies for power and wealth. MOVIE WAS ADAPTED IN 2012 STARTING ROBERT PATTINSON LOL

western European art movements very romantic and swirly and pretty: Monet, Debussy xoxo.

meanwhile, African American ragtime music becomes the “pop” music across the pond here.

North Dakota (1889), South Dakota (1889), Montana (1889), Washington (1889) become states.

train segregation laws flag beginning of Jim Crow; Civil Rights Movement of 1875 voided, making discrimination in private is not illegal, and prohibiting state intervention to personal or commercial segregation. l*nching continues throughout the south. slavery may be over on paper, but indentured labour is legal.

1882 infamous O.K Corral gunfight.

Gold Rush continues, all over the world—South Africa, to British Columbia, to California, to Argentina, to Russia-China borders.

centuries of American “Indian” wars continue.

American Dawes Act of 1887 granted American government authorization to regulate indigenous lands, including creating and assigning and enforcing reservations.

Sitting Bull’s 1883 speech of the atrocities experienced at the hands of white American settler colonists.

Canadian Pacific Railway 1881-1885. foreign labourers were hired to do a lot of heavy, dangerous, unwanted work. in America, more than 100,000km of tracks were laid by majority Chinese, Irish, Scandinavian workers.

America’s Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and Canada’s Chinese Immigration Act of 1885 was officiated, enforcing law of a Head Tax to be paid for every Chinese person entering North America. over the course of the next couple of decades, the fee of $1,500 was doubled to $5,000 was increased 500% to $25,000 in today’s currency—per person. this had devastating and lasting impacts on generations and societies of Chinese living both overseas and already in North America. propaganda at this time created many racist myths that persist today: there are too many Asians, they are taking our jobs, (the men) are gross and effeminate and a threat to (white) women, they shady and scheming people. these were the first and only major federal legislation to explicitly suspend immigration for a specific nationality in American and Canadian history. (I study Asian Canadian history, I can go on about this all day)

Tong Wars (1883-1913) had Chinatown gangs and factions in violent street wars across America, San Fransisco to New York.

large, targeted, and repeated anti-Jewish rioting (pogorm) and antisemitism rampant throughout Imperial Russia, 1881-1882 had more than two hundred anti-Jewish events alone. Jews continue to be racialized and othered.

fuck ton of colonization happening in Africa and the Middle East, Southeast Asia. Berlin conference 1884-1885 literally chopped up Africa to distribute to European powers.

Irish nationalist efforts to push forth Home Rule bill of sovereignty is defeated in British Parliament. Irish are not “white”, they are “othered” in Europe and in Americas.

use of photographic film pioneered by George Eastman, who started manufacturing film. his first camera (Kodak) was ready for sale in 1888.

Thomas Edison gets lit in New York 1883 with first electrical power station. next several year sees major cities being lit up with street lamps and public lighting with the science and works of a Nikolas Tesla (1886-1893).

hell of a lot more inventions in the works and patents being claimed. Hertz and radiowaves, Bell for telephone services.

“Between the years of 1850–1900, women were placed in mental institutions for behaving in ways the male society did not agree with”

way too much history to cram, obviously. here are some keywords for further research oki

prison industry / spiritualism / opium epidemic / irregular and uneven “modernizations” in rural vs. urban areas / class and poverty gaps / morality scares, checks, comparisons, gaps / new businesses and gadgets, products, tech to help with anything / fascination of the (colonial) Other; side shows, “freak shows” and other human zoos

Avoid using spellings like “womxn” and “womyn”

If you are a woman, you are a woman. Alternative spellings like “womxn” and “womyn” imply that transgender women are not “real women”. They are.

Ubuntu as The Art of Cultivation: Nurturing Relationships and Personal Joy

In the hustle and struggle of modern life, slow down and savor the essence of our existence: cultivate! This thought encourages me to invest my time and energy into the things that truly matter, experiencing my life in ways that bring joy and meaningful connections. That must be why my mom named me Chumani. Let's delve into the essence of cultivation and how it can transform our relationships, our personal space, and our overall sense of happiness. Cultivating is not easy, as a matter of fact it is hard, it hurts and times. In the process you have to learn self actualization, to sit with oneself, the good and the bad, then to accept the facts, and work to do better. But the first step is to try not to get worse. In some aspects we are incapable of doing better, so there is value in starting with wanting to "not do worse or more". Sometimes the intention matters most, but I digress!

Blood is thicker than water: Families are Made, Not Born

Listen! The full saying is: "The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb." So this phrase actually conveys the opposite of the commonly shortened version "blood is thicker than water." The full saying suggests that the bonds formed through shared experiences and choices (the blood of the covenant/those who go bleed together) can be stronger than mere family (the WATER of the WOMB). In other words, it emphasizes the importance of chosen and cultivated relationships and connections over purely biological ones.

The tapestry of life is woven with threads of relationships. Like a skilled gardener tending to a cherished garden, we must nurture our relationships with care and intention. Families, in particular, are not merely a product of biology; they are crafted through shared experiences, laughter, and support. Every smile shared, every tear wiped away, contributes to the growth of these invaluable bonds. Cultivating relationships means being present, empathetic, and communicative. It's about creating a safe and nurturing environment where love and understanding can thrive.

Respect your own boundaries and those of others in order to Protect Your Space and Others'

I always took this for granted, the older I get the more I learn about boundaries. I would have obviously love to be efficient at it by now but I know the importance of unlearning. Just as a garden flourishes when the land is prepared and boundaries are respected—allowing each plant to grow without being overshadowed by another—so too do our lives prosper when we respect the personal space of others. Invading someone else's space can lead to discomfort and strained relationships. Instead, we should strive to build a culture of empathy, where we understand and honor the boundaries of those around us. By doing so, we create an atmosphere of trust and mutual respect. But most of all mutual benefits like the 3 companion sisters planting method.

Nurture Your Inner Garden

Imagine your happiness as a delicate flower, ready to bloom if given the right care. Cultivating joy involves embracing the things that bring us happiness and fulfillment, while also being mindful of not trampling upon the joy of others. Just as a mindful gardener wouldn't tread upon their freshly sprouted plants, we should approach others' feelings with sensitivity and consideration. When we allow our own joy to flourish alongside that of others, we create a harmonious environment where everyone's happiness can thrive.

The art of cultivation invites us to invest in the aspects of life that truly matter. By nurturing relationships, understanding boundaries, and cultivating joy, we create a life that is not only fulfilling but also filled with meaningful connections. Just as a garden requires time, care, and attention to blossom, so too do our lives benefit from intentional cultivation. So, let us embrace this philosophy and watch as the tapestry of our existence blooms with vibrant colors of love, respect, and happiness.

Never forget that I'm just thinking out loud. Izwe lethu!

I need people to use either non-race coded language or at least switch it up a little. Like, are you sure you ran your hands through my long hair? Or did you desperately dig your fingers into my scalp and pull up on my fro until I made that noise you wanted to hear.

this post is black and queer because the user is black and queer please have decorum.

Womxn (Reclaimed)

[Image ID: A flag with seven stripes. The first stripe and last stripe are Indigo. The second and sixth stripes are gray. The third and fifth stripes are white. The stripe in the middle is pink. End ID] Womxn (Pronounced woman-x or wom-ex-n) - An individual who is both agender and a woman. This can be due to being multigender, genderfluid/flux/fluix, being agender/greygender with a connection to femininity and more! Another term for gxrl. Flag meanings: Purple - Agender. Gray - Greygender. White - Fluidity. Pink - Femininity/Connection to Femininity. I'm going to get a *lot* of angry TERFs in my replies for this one, aren't I? :)

[Image ID: A blue banner with red, orange and yellow flowers surrounding it. In the middle is a warning sign with text underneath. The text reads “PLEASE READ PINNED POST BEFORE INTERACTING”. End ID]

I had such an amazing time vending with @rockchickdesigns and @thesunhus at @playhouse.arts this weekend. Unfortunately, I didn't get many pictures, but I did capture segments of an amazing performance by Iesha. The acapella acoustics she strummed are straight from the spirit of a true warrior! Her vocals still reverberate in my soul. Don't forget the Zero to Fierce Festival is happening all week, and even a lunch break is enough time to witness all the magic happening in this space. #lunch #talks #guestspeaker #doula #centrodelpueblo #queer #stories #mmiw #nonbinary #missingandmurderedindigenouswomen #genderfluid #genderexpansive #womxn #zero #fierce #medusa #sculpture #feminine #rage #art #available #forsale #supportlocalartists #supportlocal #womanartist #supportlocalbusiness #womanownedbusiness #communityevent #arcata https://www.instagram.com/p/CpglLoVJFvw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This was me 2 years ago at a very unhealthy point in my life and the bottom is me today! So crazy! Dropping out of college was the healthiest decision I made for myself! I do still wonder why I look like a football player on the left though! 😂

Batik is a difficult area of art and Sola Olulode is very good with it. I am posting the gallery description of Sola's life and work:

"Sola Olulode (b. 1996) is based in London and received her BA in Fine Art Painting from the University of Brighton in 2018.

​Her dreamy queer visions explore embodiments of British Black Womxn and Non-Binary Folx. Working with various mediums of natural dyeing, batik, wax, ink, pastel, oil bar, and impasto she develops textural canvases that explore the fluidities of identities. Drawing inspiration from lived experience, friends, and cultural reference points to centre Black Queer Womxn, Sola emphasises the integral need of representation and celebration of queer intimacies."
