Gender Things

It can be so challenging to even THINK outside the gender binary, more or less attempt to exist outside of it.

Masculinity and Femininity, without regard to gender, are so often seen as mutually exclusive. They’re not.

In my opinion, Masculine and Feminine are just touches of flavoring, with humanity as the main dish.

I’m really excited to go home and start sketching y’all out

idk what mediums to use

pencil?

chalk?

pastell?

watercolor?

Crayons are actually pretty decent too.. hmm.

Anonymous asked: I saw this video saying that a white woman was a 'victim of racism' because someone wrote on her car for having black friends over her house. The poor woman :( Look at all that she has to go through.

Can I draw you?

Submit a pic of yourself and check Drawings By Lane at the end of next week.

I need to start practicing on people again. Let’s see what I come up with.

Hair (1)

haiku2day:

I had a mane once

thick and unruly - she framed my face and her pirouettes down my spine were entrancing

wild and inspiring, they would label her a menace

unable to be tamed

and my father grated on me, grinded and scraped at me to

“love” my glory because that was the true value of “a woman”

as though he had any idea what my divinity meant

or could be

my mane WAS a glory, that is not contested

but I shed her, left her twisting and escaping down the sink as I grasped at her tendrils

tear drops dripping into the porcelain

I wanted to

had to

leave her

to prove

that I

could be beautiful

too.

June Challenge: Self Care Box

Challenge: Make a self care box with 5 items at the minimum.

Ask yourself the following questions -

1. What activities do I do to relax? Can I encorporate items in my box to fascilitate those activities?
2. What specific items do I find comforting to me?
3. How do I (intentionally or unintentionally) decrease my stress? Are these options healthy ways of coping?

For example, my self care box will include the following:

• Assorted Candy
• Hot cocoa
• Coloring books
• Crayons
• Pumpkin Scented candles
• Stress relief squeezie
• Meditation walk-thru CD
• Headphones
• Bath Scents

What’s in (or will be in) yours?
