The market Sunday was a success! I've been literally gearing up for it for a month. This week I've been recovering from the hustle life while I work my day job and remember what a social life is. Next up is photographing and setting up the online store! Thank you for the support! Stay tuned for more upcycled gear.
We're committed now đ«Ą
Let's get freaky with it
I am tired of these mother effin' snakes on this mother effin' plane...just kidding I am so pleased I may orgasm. I MADE A RAINBOW COLOR CODED SIZE SYSTEM AND MY EYES FEEL LOVE. Phew. Okay. It's crunch time. Come to the artisan market by HMU and Queer Oddities this Sunday! Link to (freee to shop) tickets in bio
9/9 I'm done, I swear. #5 has an actual post if you want to check out some written personal musings on identity. Let me not regret what I've written in all of these since a 3x3 grid is a lot to spam. I do not look forward to doing that again. If I never post again it's because I not so secretly hate social media. Why must my soul be such a cranky old man? Le sigh
Hey yaâll. I have taken a large break from social media and thus publicly posting my creative work. Iâm back bebe! Identity crises take up a lot of mental energy, wouldnât-cha-knowâŠRather than carefully planning my Instagram page, I have spent the last couple years doing shadow identity work and coming into my own as a fully formed humanoid.
Iâve been diagnosed with ADHD (and then some!) and have been sorting through my own expectations of myself. Exploring life in ways that work for me instead of what works for âeveryoneâ has been a transformative experience -- allowing myself to be as I am without altering myself to fit into a role, archetype, or box. This means rewiring expectations of gender, queerness, monogamy, and social convention. Has anyone else gone through this? I feel a sort of awakening through neuroqueer theory! Primarily my takeaway is that none of it matters â or at least it shouldnât. Unfortunately being neurodivergent and generally âdifferentâ feeling than others is a deep emotional pit to crawl out of. Out of the valley and up the mountain I climb! I sift through the mental clutter one day at a time and every day it feels a little bit more organized.
Identity crisis takeaway? I am the trash man â making wearables and crafts from waste materials since I was a kid. I am also an artist/craftsperson/designer/creative/neurodivergent/queer/hedonistic/playful/deviant person⊠though âRules are, there ainât no rules.â Here I'll be sharing my creative journey as I continue to learn and grow. Stay curious, friends
