דיינה ; she/her/thon; thirty-something adult; settled foreigner in the crumbling UK; Marxist (Leninist adjacent); transfem genderqueer bisexual; anti-zionist Ashkenazi Jew; erstwhile trade union organiser; overeducated lumpenproletarian; kinky poly-ish daddy/switch (these are all shortcuts; I'm far more complex, perhaps even interesting, than just a handful of essentialisms). I like making friends and connecting with comrades, if you ever fancy messaging me. That said, I'm not in the market for any services of any kind, and - full disclosure - I do not take kindly to liberals, let alone zionists or 'centrists' or the fascist right wing, all of whom I consider dangerous enemies of the people. I've also got a cornucopia of sideblogs: damnesdelamer.tumblr.com is my stockpile of politics and agitprop; hurtlikeawarehouse.tumblr.com is my cache of pop culture; thecreaturefair.tumblr.com is my menagerie of nonhuman comrades; drybonescanharm.tumblr.com is my athenæum of living landscapes; worshiptheflaw.tumblr.com is my stash of eroticised human forms. comegreetthedawn.tumblr.com is my backup, which I don't login to or check
How can you transpose that idea to a visual format? It took artists a few years to work it out. In the end it was Max Ernst, the German artist, who found a way to produce art that was not driven by reason. That's how he invented the frottage technique. It involved laying paper over an old wooden board, rubbing on the paper, and seeing forests and monsters appear. The movement had a double mission...

"It Will Never Be a Lamb Again" is a piece about queerness, growing up, and conformity.

As I've gotten older, I've felt the expectation that I remain pure and recognizable, that anything new or different about me at this point must be something corrupt, something bad that doesn't belong. But growth and change cannot be separated, and who I am cannot be cut up into what's acceptable and what isn't.
