Photo of a nude male torso drenched in back light from the sun framed by a philodendron and a digital carrot rendering covering the growing set on a couch.

Covered, but still growing.
Verdura works on our tensions.
Body, ecology, exposure, care are not separate.
Just different points on the cycle.

Ecofeminism & Postgenderism's Liberatory Effects: On Bodily Autonomy, Gender, and Environmental Justice Ecofeminism needs to move beyond binary conceptions of sex and gender. Postgenderism can help.

"A queer approach that includes transgender and non-binary people’s experiences would expand ecofeminism by breaking the constraints of essentialist expectations of bodies." @dr-ourkiya.bsky.social

"Chemical Castration": White Genocide and Male Extinction in Rhetoric of Endocrine Disruption Atrazine discourse is imbued with cultural anxieties about the extinction of normative masculinity in an increasingly toxic world

"Popular-science coverage of Hayes et al. (2010) appeals to cultural disgust for male bodies that transgress gender norms and to cultural anxieties about transgender people 'passing' as cisgender." - Meg Perret

Turning the Tide: A Queer Look at the Orca Narratives exist that understand that orcas can be gay and are led by their women.

“In tandem” with growing orca captivity rates in the 1960s and 1970s “heteronormative and patriarchal cultural norms began to be transposed onto these marine mammals.” - Teja Sosteric

Queering Ecofeminism: Towards an Anti-Far-Right Environmentalism Queer ecofeminism stands against compulsory heterosexuality and acknowledges the diversity of the natural world.

"Classifications such as male-white-cisgender-heterosexual versus anything else, like a person of colour-transgender-queer-female, does more harm than one can imagine, especially when it comes to climate action." - @dr-ourkiya.bsky.social

Three Verdura Studio logos stacked vertically. The middle logo is navy blue inside a tan box, while the top and bottom logos are cut out to reveal the flecked, fibrous texture of recycled mulch paper.

Verdura Studio is where art meets the earth.
Balance, resilience; those themes now have a home. Not a new label; it’s an evolution of the stories I’ve been telling through my work, now further rooted in community and regenerative design.

I am starting Verdura Studio from a love of plants and art—shaped by my life as a Black Chicano queer maker. We work with nature as a medium, creating objects and learning spaces rooted in care, reciprocity, and regenerative practice. 🌱

🍄 Victorian mushroom hunters, queer ecologies, and lives lived outside the margins—Dr. Samantha Botz explores how fungi helped unsettle gender and science in the 19th century, and why those questions still matter today.

2025-10-22 - The Emperor Has No Clothes! Ew! Jonny and Heather start out the show reveling in some new media that shows representations of queer and trans identities are still prevalent in popular culture. Even where books and professors have been silenced, there are signs of successful resistance. In the back half of the show they discuss the recent No Kings protest and how the Trump Administration's and GOP's responses to it reveal how weak they really are.

Queer ecofeminism rejects the dualism of natural versus unnatural. - Asmae Ourkiya

"[Queer ecofeminism] rejects the dualism of natural versus unnatural and sees a strong connection between the oppression of sexuality and the oppression of nature." - @dr-ourkiya.bsky.social

The Plastic-Body: A Queer Politics of Rebel Becomings I argue microplastics and their endocrine-disrupting effects can incite resistance against the traditional norms and values of heterosexuality and cis-genderism.

"Such rebellion ignites affective bodies with ambiguity and flux, fostering a queer politics of rebel becomings that resists cis and hetero normative conceptions of the body." - Jay Sinclair
