welcome! this site uses javascript. if it's too big, zoom out. if you need the text to be bigger, right click on links to open them in new tabs (rather than in the iframe), then zoom in. this site should be somewhat mobile friendly if you view it in landscape. not suitable for children.

i made dykeism.neocities.org because i love to write, but i felt quite restricted by the lack of customizability on blogging sites. this is a place where the only limits are my imagination and my skill level, and that excites me a lot! you're currently viewing the fourth version of this site, which is the least fancy but the most accessible by far. this is because i've decided to prioritize readability and simplicity this time around, to redirect focus towards the things i have to say.

my blog is mainly about radical feminism, but also contains some musings about my personal life, relationships, and experiences with psychiatry. you can find more about radical feminism in the library and more about my day-to-day life in my diary. please keep in mind that not everything on this site is suitable for younger audiences. i suspect this won't stop anyone from reading my posts, but i still find it valuable to mention because the things i say are quite extreme, and i don't want to radicalize anyone who hasn't properly developed their critical thinking skills yet. this by no means a slight against teens or their intelligence; it is merely an acknowledgement that people should experience more of the world and make up their own minds about things before being exposed to extreme worldviews like my own. i don't want anyone to go through what i went through.

about me

i'm butch and i've lived in canada my whole life. that only amounts to 22 years, which probably makes me too young to say things like "young people better not read my posts," but just trust me bro... u don't wanna be infected with my brain sickness. i have a women's studies degree but my school is so liberal that it radicalized me, and most of what i know about feminism is from things i've read on my own time. if you get autistic enough about something, they might was well give you a phd for free because at that point you probably know more than your profs do /hj. funny how that works.

likes: blogging, lifting weights, singing, dancing, writing letters, playing with my cats, and making collages.

dislikes: onions, social media, big pharma, direct lighting, loud noises, and running long distances.

brainrotting over: jujutsu kaisen !!

spotlight

"butch" by katie niles (1994) in nothing but the girl: the blatant lesbian image, edited by susie bright and jill posener

in honour of pride month, i want to spotlight some of my favourite lesbian photography! i haven't gotten a chance to read nothing but the girl because it seems impossible to get my hands on a copy (be it physical or digital) for a reasonable price. this tends to be the case for a lot of feminist and lesbian literature. i got this image from tumblr and there are a few others there, too, should you be inclined to check them out.

i like this photograph as well as many other ones from nothing but the girl because it's very rare to find art that includes butch women, especially older butch women. my favourite types of photos and paintings are those that depict women living out their daily lives, not doing anything extravagant or posing for the viewer. i feel a deep sense of comfort when i remember that although butch women are considered ugly and worthless in general society, there are people in the lesbian community who revere butch women, who desire them, and who want to memorialize them in photo albums and portfolios.

below are some more photographs by katie niles. i couldn't find much information about her except for this instagram post. apparently she was part of a group called the ovular collective. i couldn't find any information about the ovular collective, so if you've heard about it before, please let me know!
