geometric “mountains” in yellow, grey-white, purple, and black (the colors of the nonbinary flag), with a lighter reflection, and the words “not a boy or a girl” written in between. displayed as a poster hanging on a wall over a desk
Getthis and variations for other sexualities here as mugs, posters, tote bags, shirts (adults and kids), stickers, etc for your fav nonbinary friend. My other gay-as-hell art is here.
Did you know oak trees are both male and female and belong in the family Quercus (“queercus”) ;) And that they help their offspring by sharing nutrients and fungi?

Throughout #autgust I will be posting portraits of other Autistic People of Color to celebrate the diversity of autistics and challenge the way society has engrained in us to see autism.
“You don’t look autistic.”
Yes I do.
Here’s Part 1… Everyone in this^ post is a nonbinary autistic person of color. These are volunteers.
[Image IDs: Image 1: A series of three small carved ‘mannequins’ that only feature clothing. They are mounted on a wooden dowel and circular cardboard base.
The first is of a blue sweatshirt with hot pink accents. The pants are bright yellow. The right arm is over the chest and the right leg is a step back.
The second is of a button-up with a flannel pattern. There are pink and blue stripes over the yellow background. The leggings are in a blue to pink gradient. The left forearm arm is forward and the right leg is a step back.
The third is of a pink dress with a yellow peter pan collar. There is a blue cardigan over it. The right arm has the forearm forward.
Image 2: The backs of said figures.

My carving project using floral foam. I was hoping to show how gendering clothing (with this gendering and sectioning in the market happening in the USA post-WW2) is unnecessary as it feeds into rigid gender roles. This effect was emphasized by removing the body in the mock mannequins, referencing Greek statues (particularly ‘Doryphoros’ and ‘Peplos Kore’),and finally through mixing child-like bright colors for the finish. I referenced different clothing I wear and common children’s clothing similar to them for he final project.
![A rectangular page with two images. At the very top are the words "We took different roads...", beneath which are a cluster of pride pins bearing different pride flags. Left to right, top to bottom, those flags are: butch, polyamorous, futch, asexual, trans, sapphic, genderfluid, aromantic, transmasc, nonbinary, transfemme, bi lesbian (new), bi lesbian (original), femme, intersex, achillean. Next is an image of a group of 5 non-white people of varying body types and skin tones who each wear some of the pins from the above cluster on their jackets (their detailed descriptions are given in the next paragraph). Behind the group is the orange-white-pink lesbian flag. Beneath them, at the bottom of the screen are the words "...but found the same home".
