jeep compass, a calico kitten, at about 5-6 weeks old. she is tiny and round with blueish eyes. like a bug. jeep compass at 10ish weeks old. shes a tiny bit bigger, becoming lanky instead of round, and her eyes are now yellowish.

who the fuck isn't haunted by herman melville's Billy Budd, Sailor? OR, sailors, fear, and queerness. 2/2.
A black and white picture from Billy Budd, Sailor. One sailor looks at the viewer, straddling a (phallic) canon, a pipe in his mouth. The other sailor leans on the canon, looking up at the first sailor. His face is not visible. Black text on a white background. "Maritime scholars, such as Margaret S. Creighton, discuss the "frustratingly paltry" amount of evidence "concerning sexual contact between men" aboard American whaling ships, as most records only preserve "sodomy" and rape criminal accusations. Events that disrupt the ship are written down in the captain's log, not aspects of culture that were a matter-of-course. Berkowitz points out in Sex and Punishment that prosecuting all homosexual contact on English Navy ships would result in "a far smaller Navy." Scholars of maritime sexuality, such as Creighton, William Bennemann, and B.R. Burg must read 'against' evidence of between lines to extrapolate what the norms might have been in 17th, 18th, and 19th century maritime subcultures." A still from the film adaptation of Billy Budd, Sailor. One sailor, a young white man, has a noose around his neck. He is facing the viewer. An older sailor looks at him, his expression unclear. black text on a white background. "the last time we talked, my mother wondered aloud if my rigidly homophobic, transphobic father might be gay. shes always wondered, she said. five years ago, she told me and my younger brother, half-excuse half-confession, about her affair with another woman while she was still in the military. those were the days of dont-ask-dont-tell. that unchecked desire couldve ruined her career, her marriage, her life. only in the past year has she been able to ask me about my love life, but i have not learned how to tell her the truth."

cover of zine; black and white grainy image of an ocean wave. white text on a black background that reads, "From Wikipedia: In her book Epistemology of the Closet (1990/2008), Eve Sedgewick, expanding on earlier interpretations of the same themes, posits that the interrelationships between Billy, Claggart, and Captain Vere are representations of male homosexual desire and the mechanisms of prohibition against this desire. She points out that Claggart's "natural depravity," which is defined tautologically as "depravity according to nature," and the accumulation of equivocal terms ("phenomenal" "mystery" etc) used in the explanation of the fault in his character, are an indication of his status as the central homosexual figure in the text." An abstract greyscale picture of a wave. White text reads: "the ocean was the first thing i was ever really afraid of. maybe that's why i love it." black text on a white background: "my parents were sailors; they met in the military, both of them trying (failing) to escape abusive households. they had three children, but im the only one that ended up sea-poisoned. despite this point of overlap, my parents and i went several years without speaking. there are some ugly histories, and even uglier feelings, in our family. who the fuck isn't haunted by melville's "billy budd, sailor" ? who isn't haunted by an impossible queerness, a world inaccessible but visible, a spectre rising above the waves? it's crushingly isolating to keep desire on the inside, secret and hidden away. to be forced to construct a barrier between your secret and everything. everyone else. it corrodes."

Bright pink erasers on a black background. White overlaid text reads: "One of my professors casually mentions angry discourse in academic circles literally whenever transgender men are brought up in class. Not to say that trans men are the only subjects that get this treatment--in this way, transmascs and transfemmes are more alike than the cis would have you believe--but what interests me is the lack of reflection. The lack of pattern making. The lack of linkage to our shared struggle with our trans sisters." Pink lips and tongue with some white milky substance overlaid. Black text reads "I think more often than not that we transsexuals--gender broad--are on our own out here. But I don't want that to be true. What's the poem? I want us all to eat well. (Double entendre intended)."

Archival Feelings Zine 2, page 1. A black and white picture of someone's legs spread, arms hanging down and blocking their grown. White text reads "In the "daddy" issue of On Our Backs*, the authors reveal that some butch lesbians in the Bay Area have been taking testosterone and taking the whole gayboy roleplay thing a little too far. Sensational, am I right? *Yes, it is named as a cheeky rebuttal to Off Our Backs, the radical feminism newspaper of the same era." White text on a black background, reading: "I can't find the Off Our Backs issue on trans men because my library only has the previous issue, which only references the niche issue of trans men. There's a letter to the editor in this issue where an angry writer talks about how there are just some things you have to give up in your sexual life, for good politics. She (?) doesn't elaborate on what those things--what you must give up, or what specific good politics--are, but I can guess it's related to S&M. Maybe even just like, whatever's legible as masculinity, or could be assigned to masculinity. Black and white image of a hand, two fingers extended. Black text reads: "Or maybe it's about being a pillow princess. ACT UP: get your fingers in there." A black and white portrait of Alan L. Hart (1890-1962). A white man with no beard and round glasses, the end of a pipe in his mouth. Black text reads: Alan L. Hart (1890-1962) was an American doctor. He lived as a man nearly his whole life, and he wrote novels. The Undaunted (1936) tells the story of two "outsider" men, including a gay doctor. Lou Sullivan and Candice Hellen Brown were among the first to include him in trans history.

acquired and then cleaned this vintage fish lamp. he is now my best friend.
dirty vintage fish lamp in a bathtub. close up of the fish lamp's face, sudsy and being brushed under the chin with an old toothbrush. the top of the fish lamp's head is clean, a shiny light blue. the rest is grimy and dirty. the fish lamp lays on a blue towel, shiny and clean.
