like idk theres something rly sad to me about "i could make this" as a derogatory statement abt art. like, that's really the state of it, huh, where the average person imagines themselves so disconnected from art and creation that a comparison between an artist and them automatically brings the artist down. people can make art. you can make art.

#yes exactly! #isn’t it an exciting thought that you could create something too?

the whole point of a zine is that it's cheap to produce, amateur and homemade. if you're being asked to apply to participate in a print project, it is not a zine. if the final product is being printed and bound professionally, it is not a zine. if you are being asked to enter into any kind of licensing agreement more complex than "my work can be reproduced as part of this publication" it is not a zine. nine times put of ten if the final product costs more than $5 you have left zine country. im so serious about this.

#i love this so much #the only zine i own is by someone i was seeing in high school and it’s just the artist being gay about women’s bodies #a wonderful art form

Shinjuku Boys (1995). Tatsu, a transgender man, jokes with his barber about his changing appearance, and his newly masculine features.

TRANSCRIPT:

BARBER: So you go regularly to the hospital for your hormone injection? TATSU: [nods] BARBER: Does it hurt? TATSU: Not at all. BARBER: You have more facial hair. It must be the hormones. You’ll get a moustache soon. TATSU: I’ll look distinguished! They’ve made quite the difference. I never thought I’d change so much. Most customers say I’m like a man. BARBER: Really? TATSU: [laughing] They say, “You look like a man. You’re not cute.” BARBER: [laughs]

END TRANSCRIPT.

Can you elaborate on the ways that the linguistics fiels may be racist? I'm white (as white as a mixed kid can be) and started uni recently, I'd like to be aware of the racist things in linguistics to better identify and unlearn them.

I'm already aware of the whole racist and classist judgment of certain language variations, but I wonder if there is more to it than I'm aware of, maybe more subtle things I couldn't pick up (if you could point out some sources, too, I'd be thankful).

again, i recommend decolonizing linguistics (that link is to the open-access pdf). the introduction is a good, well, introduction! you can also check out relevant topics from the podcast vocal fries, and the book antisocial language teaching focuses on ELT. this is just a smattering of the available material—scholars cited in those works have entire bodies of research out there.

#this is very relevant to me as a white linguistics major in australia! #most of australian linguistics has been an anthropological colonial project #and only recently has the field even started to consider decolonisation #linguists in australia are largely focused on documenting and maintaining the indigenous languages still spoken in australia #but indigenous communities need to be the ones guiding that work
