Darkness stains your hand (originally: A sötétség megfogja a kezedet) 2024 Acrylic on paper

When I consider a form of death too deeply, I don't come away untouched; it feels like it stays with me. When I was little, I liked reading about certain illnesses, but it also frightened me, it always felt like simply reading about them would infect me with them; it doesn't happen in that sense, but in a different sense, it does; the microbes might not be in me, but the thought of it is, and there it stays. Once I touch the darkness inside the open grave, I will always feel it pull me back toward it. And there are many graves, and I lie down beside them like one gazing into a pond, and I contemplate them. And this time I'm not going to protest that I didn't sign on the gravestone because the grave is mine; because in a sense, that's the point - all these deaths, they all feel like mine. I'm courting Death in all Her many forms.

This doesn't come through in English, but in Hungarian, the word for staining also means holding, taking hold of - the title could also mean "Darkness takes your hand".

i mean. medical technology is all about stopping "natural" things from happening to our bodies. from external diseases to internal parts of our bodies not working the way we need them to (our brains, our organs, our immune systems), medicine is all about interfering with things that have naturally gone wrong in our bodies--and that for the first time in history, we might have a way to fix. and that's not even getting into cosmetic stuff--the billion dollar industries to remove acne and body hair for instance. natural things that happen to our bodies, that we have decided are unpleasant and that we have the right to change. and that's fine, because these are our bodies, and we have a right to change them, natural or not.

so stop pretending that depriving trans kids of puberty blockers and other medical care is okay, because growing irreversible secondary sex characteristics that they do not want is "natural"

Spring returns (originally: A tavasz visszatér) 2024 Acrylic on paper

Where she steps, the snow melts into shining puddles, and the flowers open.

I started this half a year ago. I wasn't working on it all this time, I spent most of the time dreading it, because of how significant it is to me and what if I do a bad job of it. Finally it was almost March, and I had to tell myself that I want to finish by then; also I needed the board for something else; also I couldn't stand looking at it half-done anymore, it was wearing on me. And from then on, I did finish in a normal span of time, reassuring myself constantly that 1) even if I mess up, it's okay, it's not worse than not finishing, partially ready it's definitely not better than if I had messed up; 2) this is acryics, so I'm not ruining anything, even if I make mistakes, I can correct them; 3) I'm a mere mortal, it's to be expected I'm not perfect, so it's okay if I just allow myself to do it.
