Hello lovely followers! Elisha Lim is back with an all new calendar for 2013, The Comfort of Queer Family Wisdom!
This year’s is called The Comfort of Queer Family Wisdom, and it’s about our legacies and histories, that keep us safe when we feel lonely.
From Elisha Lim’s etsy:
“I didn’t have the best year. I felt isolated in a new, smaller town, and it occurred to me that I took big-city-living for granted. It was humbling. In the past, I’d thought that activism was overrated, and that a little nuance was in order.
Not this year. This is all-out, gloves off, direct action TLC. These are the voices and role models that I sought out for comfort and strength. This is the calendar that I’d wished I’d had: full of family trees and loving words to remind you that you belong. A lot of the advice is also for facing racism.
Like the Sissy calendar, it’s 11”x8.5” and it’s in full, glossy colour. It’s my loudest, brightest piece of gay art ever, and I’m extremely proud of it.
This calendar comes with so much love! It’s 2013 and everything’s gonna be okay, because we’ve got each other.
