Joe and I have just moved into a new flat together. This is quite exciting, but also a little terrifying; I’ve never lived with a partner before.
The other kinda hard thing is that neither of us have money to afford to get stuff for the new digs. We have been lucky enough to scrounge up enough to buy the old tenants bed and washing machine, and a couch – but it’s pretty bare other than that.
If you have any happy things you can send us like dish racks, and can openers, and glasses and whatnot, please feel free to send them our way!
Or alternatively you could buy some stuff from me! Up the top there’s the happy “Donate/Buy” tab you can click on to order a print or request a commission….
OR! You could also buy some o’ my comic stuff!
So I have 2 little a5 zines I made…
QUEER 101: the lowdown on gender, sex and sexuality: This is a hard copy of the mammoth Queer 101 comic I recently put up – it’s 7 pages long, in black and white (or if you get the e-copy it’ll be in full colour!)
Boy in a big city: This is a little 16 page black and white zine full of short comics that explore my sexuality and gender – it has some stuff that I’ve put up on the blog before (like Poultry Tail, Being Queer and Gender) but also some new, never before seen stuff too!
You can get the e-books by donating $2-$3 each (specify which one you want)
Orrrr you can get a nice little hard copy sent to you by giving $3 for each book and $4 for postage (if you order 2 zines it’ll still be the same amount of postage).
I’m no good with the shopping cart business so just click over on the DONATE page and in the subject line specify what you’re after.
wow. just wow. i’m sorry you had to experience this
Yeh it took us both by surprise… but we’ve managed to shake the homophobia/transphobia off it a little with lots of queer artwork and rainbow flags.
yikes, sorry that ended up like that. congrats on having an awesome new place though!
Aw, the little hearts.
I know – Joe would like you to know that they were his genius idea.
Massive sadface for the poor behaviour. How upsetting. But, nice flat, hoorah! And not that your life should be a learning experience for anybody, but maybe it will and there will be more love in the world, not less.
How terrible! My heart really goes out to you D:. Does Australia have anti-discrimination laws? They can’t kick you out for the occasional gay-smoochin’ can they?
I dunno about Australia, I assume they do. But I know it was definitely illegal in New Zealand. I hope he doesn’t kick us out for gay-smooching because we’d definitely be in breach!
*whistles* Gee whiz, Sam. I’m sorry to hear that. I think that’s actually bordering on illegal in the States… not that anyone who’d ask that sort of question would be deterred by that.
To be discreet. Ugh. UGH.
Ha yeh, definitely illegal here. And you’re right – he’s the type of guy who’d say it was a “terrible law in the first place, being over-protective, what about his rights as a straight man not to put up with that sort of perverted carry-on?” Yuckness.
