Interviewer: Iggy, lay down some fresh rhymes for us

Iggy: CAME ACROSS A PHOTO OF THIS GREEN-EYED HOTTIE
WHOLE NINE – PRETTY FACE, TIGHT WAIST, NICE BODY
BUT I COULDN’T OVERLOOK ONE SMALL FACT:
SHE SMOKES LIKE AN OLD MAN AT A RACE TRACK

Here’s the thing.

Transphobes will still hate trans people regardless of how nice we are.

Queerphobes will hate queer people regardless of how nice we are.

Sexists will still hate women regardless of how nice we are.

Racists will still hate people of color regardless of how nice we are.

It doesn’t matter what we say or how we say it, they will still hate. And if your “support” is totally dependent on oppressed people’s tone and attitude, then you weren’t a supporter to begin with.

AUSTIN, Texas — In 2013, the artist Jack Pierson wrote for Artforum that, “Art is supposed to endure, to be ultimately immortal. For me, in order to create,” he explains, “I had to let go of the idea of immortality … Photography is a system of ghosts: The photograph is never the thing itself, and that thing in its actual form is certainly not eternal. The photograph may be actually better than what it depicts, which is why I love and despise it. In contrast, for me, to paint is to grab at eternity — sort of like deciding to have a kid. Photography is homosexual and painting is heterosexual, which is not to say its finest practitioners may or may not have been either one of these.”

An homage to Mark Aguhar, one of my favorites from the early tumblr days. ~SP-A-m

Mark massively changed my perspective; she was a major change in the kind of person I wanted to be and the way I conducted myself. I miss her greatly.
