hi! it’s been like a year since i’ve used this site so let me reintroduce myself:

i’m Kate the Cursed! i’m a visual artist bringing slow, clunky analog technology into the future.

don’t call it nostalgia though; despite exploring ‘retro’ themes, my work solely exists in the present. think sampling

did you watch last night’s speech and wonder, how can i support trans rights in this moment?

here’s one way: my band @ekkoastral.bsky.social is putting together a dc music fest to raise money for @genderlib.com.

if you’d like to help financially or otherwise: ekkoastraldc@gmail.com.

lots of thrilling stuff planned for it but we’re looking for sponsors to help make it happen.

does you, your business or your friends want to help raise money for direct action?

the most anti-doomer thing i’ve learned recently is that a user-driven “Consumer Action Taskforce” wiki got spun up to archive every shitty anti-consumer practice that companies cook up in this era of deregulation and they’re asking for help wiki.rossmanngroup.com/

not to get ahead of ourselves but I feel like republicans targeting trans people while being deeply unpopular and wrecking a solid economy is going to have insane ramifications for the american psyche. if cis people start to connect ‘queer expression’ and ‘prosperity’ we win the cultural victory

some good news for a change: my dad showed me a new thrift store with a ton of high quality pre-fast fashion clothes for $6-8 and online resellers haven’t found out about it yet 🥳

hot take and kind of a nitpick but i’ve never liked the term “gender-affirming care.” it has no teeth and it was obvious the gov’t would use ‘gender vs sex distinction’ as a cudgel. i miss when we used to say “sex change” for any medical transition stuff because there’s no room for ambiguity there

My first video on making glitch art with the Game Boy Camera is live! I talk about video recording techniques and the basics of circuit bending. This one has been a long time coming and I'm glad to finally have it out there 👾💕

it’s Fahrenheit 451 time babes. the most tangible way a normal person with no ‘heroic impulses’ can prevent *this* from happening again is to steward a few works of targeted art and literature. and don’t wait, do it while they’re still accessible!

imagine gargling Newton’s balls so hard that you outright reject Einstein’s theories of relativity and say “the gravity we observe in every day life must happen under all conditions, there are no edge cases. you’re insane for thinking there might be.”

the worst part of being an artist with actual vision is making stuff two or three years before a new aesthetic hits or returns to the zeitgeist, but then getting taken by surprise when it does because you’re already working on something else three years in advance

I think the first sign of a western society that’s become deeply sick and is starting to spiral is an obsession with engineering being vastly more lucrative than liberal arts

no shade to engineers, it’s just that a society that can make shit but not ponder the consequences is doomed
