PAINT: HOW TO RECLAIM YOUR BODY UNDER CAPITALISM is now available to read on the patchwork press dot com!
PAINT is a creative non-fiction essay exploring my relationship to make-up and my gender identity, featuring a lot of ranting about social media. it is a manifesto for those of us who were never quite as straightforward as femme or masc, trans or cis. it has been a labour of love of mine for nearly a year now and putting it on the Internet is very scary! I hope that you, reader, find it relatable, or interesting, or simply enjoy it as a piece of verbose, self-indulgent prose.
my first post on my website is up: a review of the passion of new eve by certified blorbo from my dissertation, angela carter! angela carter's transgenderest book is very weird for a number of reasons, many of which i cover in my review. i spent wayyyy too long writing this, and had an absolute blast working out how to format it for hugo, and i hope you enjoy reading it as much as i did making it!
