Two-Spirit Art! Gay President! Garfield Eats!

Added 2020-02-27 03:47:34 +0000 UTC

Friends! After all of last week's stressing that I wouldn't be able to make a podcast, and what we should do instead, I just... made a podcast. Neat.

This week on the show, I chat with Indigenous artist and Gender Reveal grant winner Elijah Forbes about censorship, representation, and joy in two-spirit and trans art. Other topics include Disney, ribbon skirts, trans Indigenous healthcare, "passing," two-spirit identity, and a whole lot more. I hope you like the show!

There are lots of ways to view and support Elijah's work online. You can support Elijah's efforts on GoFundMe as well as patreon.com/twospiritgroup, and join him at facebook.com/twospiritgroup and indigenouscomicscollective.com. You can find Elijah on social media @paintedturtleco and at paintedturtleco.com, where you can hire him for illustration work.

Also in this episode: I tell a story about going through SFO TSA. Since the episode first aired, I've heard lots of your stories and feedback about the TSA. It sounds like the airport cops really do ask folks to pull up their pants in an attempt to figure out which button (pink or blue) to push. Does that mean that they're the real gender detectives? (No.)

In other news, I'm running for gay president.

I've raised $40.20 in "campaign" donations so far, which means that I've maybe made more by shitposting than I do being self-employed. Is Twitter my job now? What a time to be alive.

Someone take Twitter away from me.

(Original tweet thread is here for screenreader purposes or, uh, idk, whatever you want.)

Next week on the show! I share my interview with Niko Stratis, a good friend of the show; creator of Trans Resource Yukon; Toronto Library protester; one-time patron of Garfield Eats; and creator of the You Don't Sound Like a Girlfriend podcast. We'll also be debuting Niko's iconic Surf Don't TERF shirt to go along with the episode. Get stoked!
