Tuck catches up with multidisciplinary artist Salimatu Amabebe (he/they). Topics include:
- Barracuda, an it/its drag monster and perverse people-pleaser
- Should you retcon your dead dad into someone more convenient?
- Demanding better (and more creative) gender-affirming surgeries
- The pros and cons of making earnest, vulnerable art
- Plus: Envisioning yourself as a house for many different / differently-gendered beings (“and they’re all employed!”)
This Week in Gender: We remix a 4-year-old TSA segment.
Find Salimatu on Instagram @salimatuamabebe and @black.feast.
We’ve got three Palestinian solidarity designs (plus trains flag restocks) in the merch shop this month.
Submit a piece of Theymail: a small message or ad that we’ll read on the show. Today’s message was from Max Burns UX.
