Pronoun patches are now here!

These patches are part of my final project for my Gender and the Media class. My goal is to raise awareness about preferred gender pronouns. Whether a trans* person wants to make their pronouns known without having to explicitly state them (to friends and strangers alike), or a person simply wants to give a reminder to be aware of others’ preferred pronouns, I hope these patches can help the situation. At the very least they can be a way to open up a wider discussion about variation in gender identities, expressions, and, of course, pronouns. I encourage people both cis and trans* to take a look. All gender identities are valid and deserve respect and recognition.

The patches are up in my store (linked above) for two dollars. If you would like one, just look through the flickr set of all the available versions and make sure to say which design you like in your order. I suggest wearing them on a jacket or bag. The materials, sizes, and methods I used vary a lot - so if you have any questions or a specific request, just message me! I would be happy to make a few for any other pronouns.

Oh, and, if you know anyone who is trans*, please try and gender them correctly. They may not acknowledge your effort outright, but it really does matter!

I’ve only recently realized how important pronouns are and you should too!

Children’s Illustrators: Kay Nielsen

Born in Denmark in 1886, Nielsen was inspired by Art Nouveau and Eastern influences in his illustrations, and adopted many practices of Japanese woodcuts, such as asymmetrical composition, large vacant areas, sinuous linework, and flattened perspective.

Tippi Benjamine Okanti Degré, daughter of French wildlife photographers Alain Degré and Sylvie Robert, was born in Namibia. During her childhood she befriended many wild animals, including a 28-year old elephant called Abu and a leopard nicknamed J&B. She was embraced by the Bushmen and the Himba tribespeople of the Kalahari, who taught her how to survive on roots and berries, as well as how to speak their language.

How I wish I grew up.

I second this. Also, wasn’t going to reblog at first, but then I saw that frog and I about died. This is so perfect. I want to re-do my childhood.

She’s so cute, too.

I will never not reblog Tippi <3

“

A catcall is entirely about reminding you that you are not yours. The purity myth is entirely about reminding you that you are not yours. The fetishization of female purity in a world where catcalls are an acceptable form of communication telegraphs one thing very clearly:

“Women, stop sexualizing yourselves—that’s our job, and you’re taking all the fun out of it.”

The sexualization of women is only appealing if it’s nonconsensual. Otherwise it’s “sluttiness,” and sluttiness is agency and agency is threatening.

”

- “Female ‘Purity’ is Bullshit”, by Lindy West (at jezebel.com)

I FUCKING LOVE LINDY WEST. SHE’S FROM SEATTLE AND SHE’S DA BEST.

(via abbigshmail)

^ Perfectly sums up why slut shaming is a load of misogynistic bullshit <3

And why these pathetic, limp dicked little weaklings need to get it through their dense skulls that we don’t give a fuck if they don’t like us ‘Dressing/acting like sluts’

We don’t give a fuck what they think/feel about us doing ANYTHING for that matter

The only person whose opinion of the way I dress/behave matters to me is MINE

Sometimes people have a hard time understanding what a happy relationship between two people who obvs think the other is awesome looks like.

Congratulations to Natasha Durley – her stunning landscape illustration ‘For The Love of Plants’ (above, and crops in the centre) has been shortlisted for the 2013 AOI Illustration Awards! We love the hand drawn textures and bright zingy colours she uses, and how her work has such a tropical vibe… if only we could dive in and go exploring.

I love these colours - yum!

This piece was in yesterday’s NYTimes and International Herald Tribune.. It was for a personal travel journey by Matt Gross. It’s about learning how to eat like a local in Vietnam. You can read the article here.

Working on this piece has been nothing but fighting pho cravings…

Big thanks to AD Corinne, always a pleasure!
