Happy Transgender Day of Visibility 💖💙🤍

Happy Transgender Day of Visibility to my trans, nonbinary and gender diverse friends out there! We see you, we celebrate you! 🥳

With everything that's happening in the world, now seems like a really good time to remind everyone that no one is under any obligation to be publicly out about their identity. There are times and places where it's not safe to disclose anything that could lead to violence, harassment, ridicule, hate or prosecution.

Your identity is always valid, regardless of whether you are out or closeted.

Please, let's all stand together to protect and support our marginalized and targeted communities. They need us now more than ever.

For important information on being a good ally, see this post.

For information on how to support organizations that help queer refugees, see this post.

Wishing everyone strength as we endure these difficult times. 🫂

[emilyafoster]

I am so excited to finally share this with you! I have been working on the Queer Magic 2025 calendar since July!

This calendar celebrates queer community, love and all different identities! I really wanted to try and capture different parts of queer life and make something that really shows how we are queer all year! I am so pleased with how it has turned out and I think it is some of my best work yet!

The calendars will be up on my sh0p ready for you on Sunday 13th! Make sure to save the reminder if you want to get your hands on one!

I am so proud of this product and I really hope you will all love it as much as I do!

100 DAYS TILL TRANS FUTURES DAY

Fuck it, I’m suggesting a new day for the queer calendar: trans futures day. TDOV is a relic from another time and TDOR is vitally important but deeply emotionally distressing. Trans people deserve a day to celebrate our successes, our community, our joy, our resilience, our potential. As a solarpunk, I’m passionate about imagining better futures for all of us and a good future includes happy, thriving trans people who are beloved and valued members of their community and have self-determination over their gender expression and personal lives.

TFD could be all about inspiring trans youth about the adults they can become, celebrating growing older while trans, trans people working in progressive politics, the environmental sector, community organising, utopian storytelling and the cutting edge of new advances in science and technology, you name it.

As a date I propose 26th July - if I’ve mathsed right (always a gamble lol) that’s the day exactly halfway between TDOV and TDOR.

Who do I talk to about making it real? 😅

22. Dec.🍂🪽🛷🥳🎄

Today Charlie went to Nick. They watched a film and drank lots of tea. They talked about like everything and they were talking about the Christmas meal and sooo much more.

They also were a little bit creative and talked about santa and his elves „…..“ after a while they took a nap and slept the whole day.

Transgender Day of Remembrance

Ugh. I don't really know what to say this year. It's been a year of transgender people being specifically targeted in ways that are increasingly vicious and unhinged. So many hate bills being introduced in the US and Canada and other parts of the world in an attempt to roll back, limit and prevent transgender rights, protections and healthcare. It's disgusting.

No group is more vulnerable, no group is more targeted.

As I've said in the past, there is a LOT we can do as allies. A LOT. Please read this post, because I go into a lot of detail there about concrete things we can do in our daily lives to make the lives of transgender people a bit better.

[CW/TW discussion of suicide and resources]

Transgender Day of Remembrance is meant to memorialize those transgender people who lost their lives due to hate crimes and violence targeted at them because of their identities. When I'm reflecting on this day I personally always prefer to expand that definition to also include those who lost their lives to suicide, because those deaths are quite often a result of all the same causes, and they're unfortunately much more frequent.

If you or anyone you know is struggling, please reach out for support, or reach out to others to offer your support. Here's an international list of crisis lines for anyone who needs help.

Never underestimate your ability to save lives through your actions and kindness!

Happy all of these!

[aha-my-villainous-thoughts]

Last year I was able to be part of an amazing OFMD fan-fuelled charity calendar all themed around sexy firefighters and I'm now able to share the two pieces I did for the project! All the calendars have found homes and it has been such an amazing experience, I'm really excited to share my pieces.

First up is Jim! I am so happy to share my first proper Jim fanart, and that it turned into such a huge and over the top piece. I keep saying I went FULL ASH on this one - it's ALL COLOUR EVERYTHING. We got to do October so ofc it had to be a FULL ASH HALLOWEEN!!

I got to collaborate with Erin which mostly resulted in us screaming a lot in Discord about Halloween inspiration and how excited we were! Please go check out the accompanying fic on ao3 for some lovely Jim/Archie goodness!

Thank you to Dylan and Eros and everyone who worked on, supported and shared this amazing project!

fairly certain that this will be my final post for queer January feasts, but I wanted to include a feast specifically for my ace Christians out there. Note that I am aware 'chaste' and 'virgin' do not describe all asexuals, but I feel Joseph and Mary's marriage reflects what a lot of queer platonic relationships or ace marriages can look like.

January 23rd: The Espousals of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Saint Joseph, Patron of Asexuals, Chastity, Queer Platonic Relationships, and Sex Repulsion

January 23rd marks the Feast of the Espousals of Mary and Saint Joseph, one of three major feasts dedicated to Saint Joseph (with the other two being the Solemnity of Joseph and the feast of Joseph the Worker). Jewish marriages in the first century often came in two parts: the 'betrothal' and the 'marriage'. First, Mary, Joseph, and their families would draw up a marriage contract. Both parties would consent to the marriage, and gifts such as the mohar (a price paid by the groom's family to the bride's family) and mattan (an additional gift, this time specifically from the groom to the bride's family) would be exchanged. After this, the betrothed would separate, typically for a year, to settle expenses and prepare before the wedding feast, marking the end of the waiting period and the beginning of a life of marriage. It was likely during this time of waiting that the Holy Spirit came to Mary, conceiving our Savior, and the Saint Gabriel came to Mary to announce this miraculous conception and virgin pregnancy.

But before the joy of the Annunciation and Saint Joseph's decision to trust in God and fully pledge himself to Mary, the couple had to meet and consent to marriage. Bl. Anne Catherine Emmerich, a mystic whose visions of Mary's life have greatly impacted the church (such as the idea of Saints Anne and Joachim being Mary's parents), states that she was shown by the Blessed Virgin in one vision the Blessed Mother's own presentation to the Temple when she was three, where she then lived as an attendant, taking a vow of perpetual chastity. When she was finally of marrying age, Mary's beauty attracted dozens of men, much to her horror. One can only imagine Our Lady's fear. According to another mystical visionary, Venerable Mary of Agreda, the men held a competition for her hand in front of a rabbi, throwing their staffs into the ring before they began. But when meek, humble Joseph placed his down, it sprouted a bushel of stark white lilies. Mary knew in that moment that he would respect her vow of chastity, for he wasn't there for her body, but for his love of her soul. She consented to their marriage, and they were betrothed.

Legend goes on to say that Mary, though terrified that Joseph would find her lacking, told him of her vow. Joseph responded not with annoyance or bitterness at having 'lost' sex, but by making a vow of his own: for as long as Mary wished to remain chaste, he would as well. Their marriage remained unconsummated in the worldly sense, but fully consecrated in the eyes of God because of Joseph's undying dedication and love of his wife.

Was Joseph asexual? We will never be able to know, unless another mystical visionary comes alone with a divine telephone to Joseph to ask. But we do know that, be it his canonical acceptance of Mary in scripture or his noncanonical vow of chastity in church lore, Joseph loved Mary deeply, and sex was not a requirement for that. Joseph is known in the Church as a chaste husband, content to live without sex in his marriage for the rest of his life, living instead as Mary's celibate life partner. It's possible that this wasn't a sacrifice for him at all, but simply another extension of himself. Loving Mary without sex was easy, as he was whole and content in this sexless marriage.

Saint Joseph, Patron Saint of Asexuals, pray for us!
