Website Descriptions

sleepy crossingAn artist documenting their relationship with creating art. The site houses monthly logs, a media log, journal entries, some of Mallow's art, as well as resources to aid in the artistic process.

What I like about it: I am deeply inspired by how Mallow is nurturing and sharing their relationship with art. My current relationship with art is fraught with negative feelings, and some of their insights have helped me modify my outlook. I'm blown away by all of Mallow's art, but am especially fascinated with the Krisnix art and its accompanying interpretation. I think about it often. Each piece effectively conveys a specific feeling, primarily that of pretenses, shame, and the complex power dynamics of their relationship.

phi1l1y A personal site featuring an art gallery, journal, and writing.

What I like about it: phi1l1y describes her site as "pretty bare bones," but I think the simplicity works perfectly. The color coded links against the white background pack a punch. I think their art is really fun. My favorite corner is the abuse pile. When I stumbled upon it, I asked myself, "You can do that?" I love vulnerable spaces where people make something out of their pain. I think it gives some power back to the individual. It compells me to write about my own experiences with abuse, or otherwise relational dysfunction, especially unrequited love.

Autistic As Fxxk A stylish website containing blog posts about being Autistic.

What I like about it: Rachel's manifesto is a great primer into the website. That alone struck me. As with all of xyrs blog posts, I feel more understood, empowered, and proud to be Autistic.

Vashti's Room Vashti's Room cannot be put in a box, but I can describe what you might find there. Vashti's site is versatile, primarily housing a daily diary, dream journal, and media log. You can also find Vashti's artwork, stamp and sticker collections, tarot readings, pictures of the sky, and much more.

What I like about it: I love how candid, expressive, and human Vashti is. I see myself in Vashti when she talks about identity, friendships, and dealing with mental illness. Vashti's a great writer, and infuses beauty into the mundane. I always look forward to visiting Vashti's diary.

Cold Linking vs. Organic Linking- It can be valuable to attach short descriptions to your links. It provides context to your readers, and is often– as the name suggests– a more organic experience.

Is Your Fear of Gender Transition Really the Fear of Aging?

Description: This article discusses coming to terms with the potentially distressing changes that result from taking hormones. Will I still be desirable after transitioning? What happens if, when I go bald, I look in the mirror and see my abuser's face? What happens when I start passing, but I still hold on to old, gendered mannerisms? What if I make the wrong decision and cause some irreversible change?
