the dream of the nineties is alive in my outfit

Really wish I could find some cheap white liquid eyeliner to make this look easier

Impatiently waiting so you get more selfies :p

Victoria Cruz is a transgender boriqua from the island but has lived in New York City since the age of 4.  In 1997, Victoria Cruz was a victim and is a survivor of sexual assault and harassment by four female co-workers.  After refusing to remain silent and hold her attackers responsible for their violent actions, she has dedicated her life to helping other TLGBQ folks, especially TLGBQ people of color survive and thrive despite their experiences with domestic violence, police brutality, and/or sexual violence.  Victoria Cruz works for the New York Anti-Violence Project and was recognized as one of the 2012 recipients of the Justice Department’s National Crime Victim Service Award.

I/We honor her part and effort en la lucha for creating a more just and safe world.  We give thanks for the love and light she brings into this world that often does not contain enough of either.

day sixteen (thursday) - i’ve been a sad little femme boy lately b/c body issues & other a whole slew of other things but especially body things lately. i think i’m at the heaviest i’ve ever been and internalized fatphobia is the worst. i always feel like i’m taking up too much space, i’ve got new stretchmarks, and my chest keeps getting bigger. my back hurts all the time and my favorite pair of jeans don’t really fit anymore. *sighs* i feel like i follow so many people who are really able to own their fat but i’ve never been able to quite get there. and there’s like this added level of disappointment b/c i lost so much weight first and second year and i was so confident and now i’m right back where i was weight-wise and self-esteem wise (even though my size really shouldn’t matter). anyway, today was pretty tame. i hung out with diana for a little bit, then i came home cuddled with the pup and then fell asleep on the couch. tonight i decided since i’ve been feeling so glum that it was time to give myself some tlc. i added back some more red tones to the back of my hair to make the green-blue-purple gradient a little more obvious, took a long ass steamy shower and then took a bunch of selfies that I really liked. oh and i finally took out my nose screw. oh and my hair is finally getting longer. tomorrow I’m in for a lot of cleaning, a lot of work on sarah’s final, and a really long rhps practice. here’s hoping i have the spoons to get through the day.

Have you ever seen anything so huge and gorgeous? Something that moves you to tears because you’re so happy to be alive and in it’s presence, you know?

The water was nice, too.

Reblog if you are a fat babe <3

hugs n drugs 2 all my weirdos, genderfucks, freaks & fatties. to all the hotties with abject bawdies. to the delinquents and the deviants. to all of us who are working toward complexity, compassion, messiness and dismantling dominant paradigms of beauty, desire and love in 2014 (and forever).

this is our time. may our multifarious voices, art, gentleness, actions & aesthetics fracture & dissolve the violent and oppressive sensibilities of this colonized world as we know it :3
