“Chinese artist Zhang Xiangxi builds elaborate miniature interiors inside old televisions and other discarded appliances. The interiors depict locations that have played a role in the artist’s life, from his art studio, to his parent’s sitting room, to a commuter train car.”

remaking since last post entirely died out and its a new month anyways. my wife and i r two disabled Black trans people living in texas, where we are both unable to find or maintain gainful employment due to our disabilities. we are entirely reliant on community support for all of our living expenses, including the bulk of cost to manage our conditions. please please consider finding it in ur heart to spare us a little. my links are here (we have a shared patreon, ko-fi n registry). my wife is also actively crowdfunding to pay our rent, so anything sent her way helps too. thanks for reading this far if u havent scrolled yet, and for hopefully rbing (WITHOUT ADDING ANY TAGS FOR FUCKS SAKE PLEASE) and/or donating if u have it to spare 🧡
ok i wanrt to make a non joke post abt it because im. genuinely freaking out over school shit
took a summer course and didnt realize there was prerequisites (photo and video) that i dont Have and therefore i technically shouldnt have been allowed info the course. bc when i signed up there Was no prereqs listed, but the course material is out of my reach and i dont understand it
i’m already being financially penalized for dropping a different course because the deadline to drop without incurring financial penalty was before any class even began
so my choices here are ‘suffer a hit to my transcript because im far out of my depth in a course i shouldnt have been able to join’ Or ‘suffer a hit to my wallet because im being charged hundreds of dollars for a course i shouldnt have been able to join’
got fucked pretty bad here either way!!! loll!!!
something to be said about the racism & ableism beneath the veneer of analog horror
the met gala is tonight, and i know a lot of us are excited for it. and why not, it's a fun event! but while we're here, please spare some thought for the people of palestine as well. they don't have a platform nearly as big as the met gala does, but they need it more desperately and they need it urgently.
i don't know if any celebrity at the gala is going to mention palestine or speak out for them. but we don't need to wait for a celebrity to show support or tell us what to do. we have power too. every single one of us here has a voice, and the power to uplift others using that voice. we don't need one person to donate thousands. but even if a hundred people donated $5 each that's $500 put towards helping a family survive. and that means more to gazans than i can say.
if you can afford it, please donate to anyone from @gazavetters's spreadsheet (here). if you're uncertain or cannot choose, then please consider:
my friend ibrahim @aburakhiaibrahim (vet | paypal | gfm)
the isnad foundation @isnaddfoundation which provides gazan students with a safe space to study and continue their education (vet | chuffed)
my friend mahmoud @ma7moudgaza2 who is the founder of isnad (paypal | gfm)
if you cannot donate, please reblog so that the post can reach someone who can. thank you.
looking back is like staring into the sun
