Miss Mina's Dream Library📚♀️

I just read the prettiest picture book adaptation of Saint George & The Dragon! It was writing by Margaret Hodges & illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman in 1984 & it was truly lovely!! 💗🌸👸

Reading the favorite books of your favorite authors is the quickest path to becoming well-read. As a teen I set out to read the works that inspired Lewis & Tolkien, which is how I fell in love with The Faerie Queene, the Arabian Nights, Sir Gawain & the Green Knight and a dozen others. As an artist you have a sacred mission to pass down works you love that are in danger of being forgotten, keeping them alive for the next generation. This is how the great tradition is handed on from one age to the next.

"Myths show us what we have in common with every other human being, no matter what culture we come from, no matter what century we live in, and at the same time, mythic stories and art celebrate our essential differences" ~ Alan Lee art: Alan Lee

Stitching the Standard by Edmund Blair Leighton

Mossy forest passages gleam with a divine light, graceful swans glide beneath drooping willows, a pure white horse reflects in the still waters, and an ethereal goddess embraces the sun...

"The dragon queen awaits me in Meereen." The fairest woman in the world if my brother could be believed. Her hair is silver-gold, her eyes are amethysts."

@JennaSpeaksUp I see. Thank you for the clarification.

I may have changed my intellectual ethos over the past few months, but I'm not going to discredit my intellectual work from the past. In this case, I came up with a clever way to turn a TERF talking point into something humorous. I thought it was funny then, I still think it's funny. There is nothing about this that has anything to do with my feelings on TS separatism. It doesn't go that deep.

Did you know that Jesus was transgender? 🏳️‍⚧️ He had no father, therefore did not inherit a Y chromosome. He had two XX chromosomes. Therefore, Jesus was a trans man. If you accept the Virgin Birth, you already accept sex development outside of the strict biological norms and binary. So the existence of trans people is far less scientifically extraordinary than Christianity's central miracle.

@JennaSpeaksUp Which is fine, I'm just surprised.

@JennaSpeaksUp I'm just confused by the idea of reposting an old post that has the word 'transgender' plastered all over it when you no longer think that way. It feels extremely counterintuitive. Are you rethinking TS separatism? It feels like your views have been shifting.
