#mpires

[jmfenner91]

I got to create this piece to accompany "The V*mpire" by P H Lee. It's a short story over on reactor mag. Reactor/TOR have been a dream client for my entire career. So honored to have had the opportunity to work with them! Synopsis 🩸: The vampires aren't even the worst part about being a teenage trans girl on tumblr.

[p-h-lee]

I have a story out today, tumblr. It's called The V*mpire and I wrote it for us.

Please mind the warnings.

excerpts from Amber Dawn’s “Touch ≠ Touch Screen” that i thought particularly resonated with the most recent iteration of conversations on transmisogynistic + whorephobic censorship on tumblr & other social media

image description: three screenshots of a poem from the collection My Art Is Killing Me (2020) with stylized spacing.

excerpt 1:

Just survivors, I’m talking only to you now (literally you).

Did your abuse fever teach you to solder belonging and harm?

Were you seen and were you shamed in the same

original place? Did you inherit

a coercive dichotomy?

Anxious arousal hand

me downs?

Does your public network see you and hate you in looping rounds?

Does logging on harm you? Does all this somehow feel familiar?

excerpt 2:

Let’s talk about 2018 when

FOSTA-SESTA (Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act and Stop

Enabling Sex Traffickers Act) was passed as law by US Congress

on April 11, marking the first ever exception to Section 230.

So after twenty-two years, yes, twenty-two years, social media platforms

where made responsible for user generated content if that content may be

intended for sex work yes

all sex work, yes, consensual sex work and, yes

anything like a butthole or a female-presenting-assumed nipple, and yes

responsible for or in authority of images, words and phrases

that mend desire together

with age, race, size, orientation, disability, labour

economics and any bodies subject to other-ness.

And with other-ness, I’m talking about

fat babes in neon green lingerie, about two brown men

kissing, about trans women being radiant and using

their real fucking names. I’m talking about

masculine-presenting-assumed folk with baby bumps. I’m talking sexual

assault survivors showing off the scars on our inner thighs. I’m talking about

women posting screenshots of the violent Tinder messages we receive

every damn day. I’m talking about

speaking up. I’m talking language

reclamation. I’m talking decolonizing

sexualities. I’m talking gagged faggots

about dyke march photos

torn down. I’m talking

about locked accounts.

excerpt 3:

viii.

I’m talking about this—

power holding backlash.    How dare we get those likes

those shares, take up virtual space

speak truths, share strategy, love our ash and phoenix

bodies, rise up or dig deep, whichever way or all

directions at once.

We can be nimble AF

but how dare we?

Make the internet

white relentlessly white again

str8 cis thin and norm again

Redesign the sightline

of hating women.         I’m talking about this

power holding backlash.

I think about this a lot—

what it means to spend upwards

of two hours per day

on platforms that believe

we should not legally exist

un      see      able
