There is now one week left of the Mexica "month" of Toxcatl, whereupon the Confessionary will be closed for another year.
https://rotwork.wordpress.com/services/confessions/
My confession-taking practice is in honor of Tlazolteotl, She Who Devours Our Transgressions, the Great Mother always listening, hearing, healing. It's also in honor of my ancestors, all of whom took too much with them to the grave.

Tlazolteotl, Goddess of transgressive sexuality and desire, She Who inspires lust and She Who heals our excesses. A WIP.🙏
She is traditionally depicted by black paint around the mouth, a symbol of her role as Filth- or Sin-Eater.
Inspired by this post, which is about Eros but I feel describes Her in its description of gravitational force between people: https://mas.to/@Palpapeen@calckey.social/110481744331499526

While the #Mexica didn't have specific words for trans people, they did have words for people who transgressed gender norms.
Xochihuah: "flower-bearer", for both sexes.
Patlache: the precise meaning is uncertain, but encompasses a complex of intersexuality, trans masculinity, and female queerness.
Cuiloni: from cui, "to take". Likely referred to passive/receptive male partners in homosexual encounters.
Nowadays, these words have been reclaimed! #Pride #TransRights #chicano #xicano #Nahuatl

Opened a brand new #redbubble store to help supplement the income while we save up for moving.
It's not religious art, but stop by to get some #pride and #antifa gear, as well as #Mexico and #MesoamericanStudies inspired designs. (Please boost!)

Wrote a quick piece on seeing my body as my #nawal, my spirit companion, through the process that is life:

📌 Finally time for a real #introduction!
Hola, I'm Beso (he/xe/elle). Just a #bisexual #trans and #polyam guy in my late 20s. I'm #chicano (though I prefer #xicano) and live along la frontera. I used to be on another instance years ago. Never really used it, but I'm back and here to stay 😎
Also, I'm #disabled and a proud #CripplePunk. Diagnosed with cool guy syndrome (#ADHD / #kinetic), and I'm likely #autistic too.
That's it for a basic bio, but I'll be talking about things I like below 👇

I have a book about #Malinche with this painting by Alfredo Ramos Martínez from 1940 as the cover, and I've begun to use her as the face of all my women ancestor workings since I don't have any good photos of my great-grandmothers. I set up a small little shrine for my first #MothersNight last night, using the book, lighting a candle, and offering some cranberry beer.
CW for eye contact.

Sunday I will actually make a papier mache cactus solstice decoration... a full on "tree" is probably too ambitious, so I'm thinking a wreath made of #nopal paddles 😍

In much #indigenous #mesoamerican #spiritual thought, there is no enemy of the Gods, no enemy of creation. Every agent of #teotl, every being, lives in conviviality with every other being and has a purpose that serves creation.

Spent way too much on a really nice #sketchbook yesterday to incentivise more #drawing. It's an early 2023 resolution to add to it every day!
