‼️ MERCH DESIGN DROP ‼️ I am so excited to share this GORGEOUS design by the incredibly talented @sid.saint.id ! They transformed my initial logo idea into this stunning, fiery stained glass illustration. Can you spot the hidden horns? 👀😈 I have stickers of this design in glitter and holographic finishes! They’ll be on sale for $3 each at all my upcoming shows, starting with Hole Show on 2/21. I can also bring them to shows I attend upon request!

It’s about time we start introducing our June cast of Tippendudes, starting with a king who’s so good it’s SINFUL, it’s @ava.ryss 😈 Ava Ryss is a drag prince, burlesque baddie, and co-producer of Sangre Dulce, an all-Latine drag show. He usually serves darkness and angst from realms beyond, but for Tippendudes, he’s bringing things a little closer to home. 🏡 So come on out and celebrate with your fellow kings, tboys, queers, and more! Order your tickets now! 🎉🍾✨ Venmo $15 to @WITJECraft with the comment “Tippendudes”! Tippendudes: A Showcase of Masculinity + Burlesque. Monday, June 1st at 8:15PM. Jacque’s Cabaret. 21+

🏆 DykefestMania champions 🏆 One of the most fun numbers I’ve made in a while. A reminder that you can really make anything of your drag. If you want to be beaten up by Rhea Ripley on stage, you can absolutely do that. This luchador mask was Made From Scratch by @ava.ryss based on patterns from @ophidiancobra . They also embellished the pants, shoes, gloves, and vest (not shown). Always in awe of their talent!! Thank you @andivandyke for having me in the first monthly installation of @dykefestboston at Jacques!!! Thank you @jarvis.deangelo.subia for being the announcer voiceover Photos by the lovely @rickyyreyess 📸

…is now . . . I grew up with “Never Again.” I also grew up Zionist. In temple, we learned that Israel was established after the Holocaust, and that many wars had been fought by people who wanted the land for themselves and wanted to see Jews eradicated. I thought this made sense, and I was glad that Israel existed, because Jews needed a home, a place to be safe. I traveled to Israel on Birthright and marveled at how incredibly at home I felt to no longer be in the minority. When we drove by the West Bank barrier walls on the way to Yad Vashem, I didn’t even think about them. Israel needed security, after all. Words cannot begin to express the agony, the grief, the disgust, the betrayal I felt as I have watched Israel’s cruel and horrific torture of Gaza and its people. I read about the history of Palestine and realized how much I had been lied to. I learned how much hatred my people and even members of my family held in their hearts. I still struggle to understand it. We of all people should know better. To be the ones committing genocide is something unspeakable. Never again is now. - I am grateful to have had the opportunity to share this extremely vulnerable number with a mostly Jewish audience. Though most of us are now focused on the horrors occurring within the US, the relief work in Gaza continues. Please donate to the PCRF if you can. /donate Photos by @hlebertphoto for @aintmitzvahavin Keychain by @dulce.de.leather

Never Again . . . The history of the Jewish people is one of persecution. I grew up imbued with this history, from our holidays, so many of which celebrate Jews prevailing over those who would deport or murder us; to the reason my family is in the United States and not Ukraine, because they fled the pogroms of the early 1900s; to the legacy of the Holocaust, giving me nightmares about trains for most of my childhood. I have stood at the gates of Auschwitz and Dachau and then returned home to have jokes about concentration camps told to my face. Yet throughout my life, this history and reality has always been woven with another message: that Jews, as a people who know suffering, have a moral responsibility to speak out against persecution The post-Holocaust era gave rise to the statement לְעוֹלָם לֹא עוֹד, “Never Again.” It is both an expression of grief at what occurred, and the promise and pledge to prevent the recurrence of genocide and mass atrocities - not just for Jews, but for all peoples.

Zarpó el amor en un bote contramarea 🌊⛵️💙 From @sangre.dulce 9/24/25 Thank you @butchcamera for the beautiful photos 📸 And thank you @xneonhaze for lending me these silk fans 🪭

This weekend we celebrate death in many forms 🖤 happy Halloween! This beautiful illustration of the original Death duet between me and @thevonvoid was created by the one and only @riel.thing , a beautiful artist and friend 🖤

See pic #3 for a rare glimpse of my drag assistant 👀 This act is my most prop- and costume-heavy number by far, and I made almost all of it from scratch! Aside from purchasing the LED cape and the skeleton suit pieces for @thevonvoid and myself, I built everything, including the boat, the transforming scythe/oar, the death headpiece, rib cage, and rotting moss body. I used mostly cardboard, EVA foam, foam clay, and crafting moss. The boat also breaks down into two pieces for easier transportation. I really enjoyed bringing my vision to life and I am enormously proud of what I was able to accomplish. Crafting is my favorite part of the process, and I love learning new techniques and seeing my skills slowly improve.

“Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one’s head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.” - Oscar Wilde I originally created this number for Tippendudes: Calendar Edition, where I was given the month of September. September is National Suicide Prevention Month, as well as the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season. I wanted to imagine a world where Death is not a villain, but something that meets us with love and guides us through our final transformation. I could not have done this without my duet partner @thevonvoid . You understood. 🖤 Thank you @restingclownface for believing in my art and giving me a stage at @holeshow69 🖤 Incredible backdrop video by @riel.thing 🖤 Photos by @uncanny_rabbit 🖤
