Flash (noun): a sudden burst / a brief display / a short summary / a symbolic occurrence. (verb): To burst suddenly / to display for a brief moment / to give a short summary / to occur symbolically. (adjective): sudden / brief / short / symbolic.
I am obsessed with ideas & symbols. Something will just flash into my head, and I suddenly have to draw it as a simple line drawing. I’ll set it aside, and come back to it every so often. Often, this process reveals another flash of insight, a word, phrase, quote. Repeated enough these flashes create a glossary of concepts that include symbol, word, definition, and (a) guiding quote(s). This glossary can then be used to better communicate the complexity and depth of Queerly Complex creations.
Camaraderie: A spirit / feeling / experience of goodwill / rapport / familiarity / belonging / inclusion among comrades / neighbors / friends / family / relations.
“When you live in the community, you make friends and they support you in your advocacy and in raising your son when you have questions and when you have to make major decisions in your life. When you live in the community, you don’t have to depend on staff for all of your support, and you get to support others as well. You develop networks that you could never have in the institution. I’ve see this happen for so many people, including people with severe disabilities.” Ricardo T. Thornton Sr., “We Can’t Go Back,” Disability Visibility

Queerly Complex selected Next Level 3600 t-shirts because of the way they fit our bodies and feel upon our skin. They end just below the waist, have fitted sleeves, and the body is straight with seams running down both sides. They are perfect for all kinds & sizes of bodies. PLUS! They are pre-shrunk 100% combed ring-spun cotton, so they are soft to the touch and get softer with each wash.
Some washing & care instructions:
- Turn t-shirt inside out.
- Machine wash cold on the gentle cycle with mild detergent and similar colors.
- Do not use bleach.
- Do not use fabric softeners.
- Tumble dry low, or hang-dry for longest life.
- Cool iron inside-out if necessary. Do not iron decoration.
- Do not dry clean.
