Google news headlines, text from news articles, photoshop, and the works in Quotidian
The images of Quotidian superimposed over aggregated google news headlines, collected on specific days with the search-terms “Transgender”, “LGBT”, and “Nonbinary”, or the text of articles found in those searches. These searches were done on a public computer, not logged in to any account, using the then-extant google news interface. I do not claim ownership or authorship of the article texts, which are cited below.

Please note that both the content of the articles and the headlines contain topics that some viewers may find harmful to engage with, including explicit transphobia and discussions of suicide. Please exercise caution. To be blunt, they contain content that I find upsetting; please take care of yourself.
