We know from historical records that the female-born French saint presented as a man with short black hair. Why, then, is she so damn feminine in artistic portrayals?

New Non-Binary Emojis Fall Short of Their Good Intentions

by Jillian Steinhauer March 27, 2014March 31, 2014

I’ve been thinking a lot recently about counting. Counting can feel lonely sometimes, like you against the world, so I’m always grateful when I encounter other people doing the same. Like artist Micol Hebron.
