Pronouns: Pis/sed/Pisself

Humans release around a quarter of a gallon of urine per day. Bills and EO's like these force students, staff, and faculty to decide between the negative health impacts of holding it in and their personal safety and comfort.

I am aware that this zine is devoted to lifting voices of lgbtq+ and bipoc individuals. While not a member of either group, it is a cause I whole heartedly support. If my work can be a tool to bolster and support the experiences of others, please use it to do so.

Pronouns: They/them/theirs

This piece was created to highlight and reflect on my personal joys, aspirations, and achievements as a queer person. Often exploring hardships and oppression, I am dedicated to finding balance in depicting the beauty that comes hand in hand with the bitterness of universal and personal queer experiences. This piece is a self-reflective representation of the community aspect of said beauty. Personally, I have a great affection for animals and their unwavering acceptance. My cat in the painting, Missy, has stuck by my side throughout my pain and trauma. The depiction of her presence and support represents the healing qualities I’ve found in queer communities. For me, “Paws Out” specifically highlights and calls attention to the emotional healing I’ve experienced in the refuge of collaborative queer spaces. Both my cat and these spaces have uplifted me and prepared me for handling traumatic experiences and fighting against societal oppression.

Pronouns: She/her

With these pieces I wanted to celebrate trans visibility and trans joy while we are going through hard times with the Montana anti trans Bills. We exist, we're here and I love you all 💓
