Today's gender is a forest fire
arshad hakim draws and makes films.
he despises writing a bio and at best he thinks of it as a game that he wants to play.
“the gender of the day” is a genderbot that let's us outsource our feelings about gender to a bot, which i think should free up a lot of mental space for other things.
the game works as a list.
a sentence that begins with: the gender of the day is …. or today’s gender is ….
few examples:
- the gender of the day is a shimmering nebulous black hole.
- today’s gender is the sound of the static between radio stations.
- the gender of the day is a spectral moon.
- the gender today is the smell of patchouli and sound of thunder in the distance.
- today’s gender is brave and preoccupied.
- today’s gender is a hurricane.
