Embedded Files
Rachel Wiley's work simultaneously deconstructs the lies that we were taught about our bodies and our beings, and builds new ways of viewing ourselves. As she delves into queerness, feminism, fatness, dating, and race, Wiley molds these topics into a punching critique of culture and a celebration of self. A fat positive activist, Wiley's work soars and challenges the bounds of bodies and hearts, and the ways we carry them.
Halloween Shopping With My Niece
Do you want to be a kitty cat?
No.
a princess?
I'm already a princess.
Of course you are.
Oh look, you could be a slice of pizza?
Nahh...
Do you want to be Doc McStuffins?
I want to be something super scary!
But, Doc McStuffins is terrifying to the Patriarchy.
What's a patriarchy? Sounds like a kind of dinosaur?
Yes, Darling, the Patriarchy IS a dinosaur.
Is it a very big dinosaur? Cause I could be a bigger one. I could be a dinosaur that eats a patriarchy.

My queerness
is not unlike
a cat on a leash.
It's awkward
people don't always understand why it's happening
or how it works
but it's not hurting anyone
so it goes mostly unbothered.
The difference
is that you can see
a cat
on a leash.
