Description: Let’s get one thing straight: I’m not. As a queer woman-ish person who is also married to a man, I find it incredibly important to my mental health to be as out as I possibly can be. Yes, I have an amount of protection and privilege in that I can “pass” as straight. But with that privilege comes a very heavy burden of erasure and invisibility. When I started working on my preliminary sketches for this, I tried to narrow down what exactly I wanted to visually communicate. Being queer in the way in which I am means I’m constantly coming out, and sometimes I wish I could just stand on a podium and yell at anyone who will listen that I AM NOT STRAIGHT STOP MAKING ASSUMPTIONS.
Description: Nothing about us without us is for us — the rallying cry of those of us dedicated to disability justice. Disability eventually comes to us all with age — but it can also come at any time with no warning. It can be temporary, or it can last the rest of your life. Disabled folks MUST be included in every walk of life, at every level of planning for anything (ESPECIALLY in the beginning stages!), and accommodated. None of us should be excluded from aspects of life because of inaccessibility — and especially not because we've been forgotten.
Description: In the wise words of one Samwise Gamgee in Peter Jackson's "The Two Towers" — "There is some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for." May his eternal optimism and grit inspire you to keep fighting for the good in the world, even when it seems everything is just too dark.
