he's right about this even though it sucks lol

another and slightly less stupid reality is possible

I think it’d be neat if, when I run, I could look a little more like a mountain labubu

An incredible, insightful book (and one of our favourite covers!): "Intersex Figures in Modern Japanese Literature and Art" explores how artists used non-heteronormative bodies and sexualities to resist authoritative dicta. 🗾 @conditionedsoul.bsky.social @uofmpress.bsky.social bit.ly/48c2H9W
