Thanks again to the always incredible Alanna Mule here in Toronto for the ink! These symbols mean so much to me.
The umbrella represents sex work rights, my photosensitivity, & the pattern harkens back to sideshow/circus. Many disabled people worked them as they were often the only option outside institutions. A lot of disabled people are sex workers as well these days, as one of few options outside of social assistance.
The inverted black triangle was used by Nazis to label disabled people, sex workers, sterile women, queer women, & the "workshy". I would have fit every one of those & would've been killed. I am strictly antifa & will be forever. Fighting for human rights is deeply personal to me.
The moons are religious in that I'm Luciferian & they come from Baphomet, but solve & coagula mean much more given that I create so much with my right hand & my left is where I did self harm in the past. I'm proud that I'm 2 years clear, a new personal best.
