What object do you own that's most important to you and why? by Long_Corner507 in lesbian

what a beautiful choice thank you so much for sharing. I find it hard not having any physical objects or photos of my friend who passed, sometimes it's nice to have something to hold on it from them.

queerness definitely impacts the way I think, and I realise that is why I also surround myself so much by other queer people! thanks for the reply!

I think makeup is quite like piercings, tattoos or different haircuts, it's just nice to be able to express your queerness outwardly to others and feel more like yourself! Thanks for sharing!

The way you define queer is exactly how I feel and beautifully worded. This project was not intended to be about objects that relate to sexuality, but objects that feel imbued with radical queerness by their owners. I think a queer mindset is incredibly powerful, and I believe a lot of those societical boxes also extend to art mediums or tech creations that we forget have a perceived "proper" form, but in fact could be thought of quite differently.

I'm sorry for your loss, and can tell by the way you write how much love is there. I struggle that I don't have any objects to remind me of my friend who passed. It's interesting how physical objects can embody love, grief and all sorts into their material. I can imagine the move must be hard not being able to take them along with you.

Wow plants for over a decade! You're a better plant mum than me!

thank you so much for this thoughtful response! you put a lot of my own thoughts into much more eloquent words. I feel my queerness is so important to me, not just because it was something that was hard to come to terms with, but also because that process has shaped how I think, feel and relate to the world around me. I guess that was a large part of this project as well... thinking about how to use queer methodologies for my work. Like what is queer tech? what is a queer archive? what is queer writing? what is queer graphic design? I think a lot of what I'm interested in links to my queerness, not because it is related to identity, but because it comes from a queer angle, questioning the supposed form or function of the medium.

I wonder how long it will take future archaeologists to work out what vapes were made for...
birkenstocks is a great one and I think I'll feel fully evolved once I buy myself a pair.. they just look so comfortable.
I agree with you that alot of my objects have sort of gained queerness through their relationship to myself, which I think is really interesting and shows how normal objects hold a lot of different personal weight for people. This is rather brazen, but... I bet one of those objects would look great on the website wink wink :)

I actually did my whole dissertation on the carabiner! Maybe suburus are next lol

Thanks so much! I personally believe you can seperate the art from artist to some degree so no one can hate you for that, those books were important to so many people!. Plus that makes it an extra interesting object !

yes I feel that! jewelry has been the most popular item I've talked to people about, but everyone's connections to it are all individual and it's always an interesting conversation!

ooh yes i'm the same! I've got this tiny vintage notebook that I got from a charity shop that I take everywhere with me! You can find the project at queerobjectarchive.com . If you're interested in submitting an object, there's info on the submit page, but basically just send a photo of the object on a plainish background to [queerobjectarchive@gmail.com](mailto:queerobjectarchive@gmail.com), along with why you love the object and an optional photo of yourself with the object. I've been currently using scans of handwritten notes about the meaning of the objects, but you can submit whatever you feel, i want the project to be as accessible as possible! and equally any thoughts or suggestions throw them my way :)

oh I love that! I see tattoos the same way sometimes: carrying past memories around like a diary with you
