Warren Ellis' Notebook: Okay. Someone asked me how I feel about writing fiction in a world...:

warrenellis:

Okay. Someone asked me how I feel about writing fiction in a world that still needs actual activism and hands-on work to make life better. They said something similar to, “I get pulled away from writing fiction because I feel guilty for not making tangible benefit to the world. Isn’t fiction just escapism?”

But I also got the following message, which I’m filing some of the serial numbers off of, as it were:

“I just wanted to tell you something. When I was 18 years old, my life was a fucking mess. I worked at a store that sold comic books and one day I stumbled upon Spider and the filthy assistants. Your comic kept me from killing myself. There is a character limit here so I can’t say everything I want to but thank you. From the very deepest part of my heart.”

I post this not to self-aggrandise. It is not a unique message, for good or ill. I get them surprisingly regularly. Frankly, messages like that scare the hell out of me, because I’m not very smart and not a very clever writer and I fuck up all the time.

But fiction speaks to people. Even fiction like mine acts to tell someone, somewhere, that they’re not alone.

You want tangible, social benefits to writing fiction? There are people walking around today because other people wrote words that spoke to them. That’ll do.

And thank you.

cauda-pavonis:

This legit makes me want to cry because I have *never* seen a picture of an older trans man naked. It’s always young guys, usually much younger than me. It’s like we don’t have a future, an adulthood, a middle age, an old age. It’s like we just stop.

As a trans man who’s well past the age (and transition status) of ~sexxay tranz boiz~, pictures like this give me some kind of hope. We’re not just one image stuck in time, snapshot of a skinny white andro urban-queer young trans dude with perfect top surgery scars, poster boys for young radical queerdom. We’re not all Youth. We live in more than two dimensions, and one of them is time.

Older queers tend to fall off the map full stop. Trans people, even more so. But we don’t disappear once we stop being, basically, fashionable. Supporting our young people is important, but we need to show them we have a future, too.

I literally cannot envision my own future. There are no images of older men like me.

One image obviously can’t address all the lacks in representation, much less one image of a hot skinny (apparently?) white man. But just to have that one extra factor in there, of age, it’s - it’s important.

More, please.

Fuck off.

Oh, the hypocrisy of the guy in the first picture holding up that sign WHILE NOT WEARING A SHIRT.

i hate that it says,”she shows off her naked face.” fuck him! i love wearing makeup. i wear it because i have insecurities about my skin and it makes me feel pretty! not wearing makeup doesn’t make a girl prettier or uglier or better or worse…

Bless that woman.

‘

In my opinion it takes a woman who is VERY confident in herself to show her naked body to the world. You know what this post is just so damn awesome its going into my personal tag.

Not only is the guy in the first picture showing his naked body, he’s not showing his face, LOL, double the irony.

This woman is beautiful <3 And yes yes yes to the above, I put on makeup when I want to, for ME, because I ENJOY it, crazy notion, eh? That women do things for themselves and not everything to attract a man?

hifructosemag:

On March 16, Jason Freeny will debut a new series of surreal sculptures at 101/exhibit in Los Angeles for his solo show, “Choice Cuts.” As the morbid-sounding title suggests, Freeny’s new body of work investigates mortality with a series of works that imagine toys as biological beings. Exaggerated imitations of the human body — like the Barbie or Kewpie Doll — become vulnerable and prone to medical incisions that expose their entrails. Freeny’s new work is both shocking and humorous; cartoon smiles and gleaming eyes soften the impact of the sculptures’ visceral qualities. Take a look at our preview of the show courtesy of Jason Freeny.
