Icon Meme

Thanks to pauraque for prompting me to explain three of my icons. I think Dreamwidth's icons are the crucial thing keeping me here. I have altogether too many of them, and picking the right one for each post is a big thrill.

If you wanna play along, ask me to pick three of yours.

"Be aware of invisibility" in red Futura Bold Condensed
(At least half my icons are from the inimitable jackshoegazer, including this one.)

I use this for topics that may not be perceivable and are nonetheless very important: queerness, disability, dysfunctional dynamics in work or home.

I convinced sasha_feather to come over and take pictures of me in hats. I’ve cropped out the lively gray green tweed flat cap, and you can still see I’m about to insert a USB drive in my left ear.

This icon shows up on the rare occasion that I have technical skills to share.

David Hewlett playing Jimmy, the prankster younger brother in 1990’s Where The Heart Is. His brilliant sister does full body makeup as an art form, and for Reasons turns Jimmy into a pink-cheeked cherubim. At 18, Hewlettt was quite the lean pretty boy. Naked, adorned with a halo, wings, a mean sneer and an extended middle finger (towards his dad, if I recall correctly)

I found that image on a still-extant site! Many thanks to tarlanx for maintaining it: https://www.davidhewlett.co.uk/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=3&page=2

This huge mural combines a languid naked woman and Jimmy’s cherub with an arrow ready to let fly.

I’ve got two other "FUCK THIS!" icons, because I like my rage to be artistic.

Callum Keith Rennie in a suit screaming fuck no!
