"Close-ups seem to evoke the (uncovered) penis as a tool of life and death, beauty and danger. Meanwhile, more subtle frames render it only one part of a holistic, pleasurable experience." @gvgktang on the archival dick pic https://t.co/YjNdfUxgFy [post contains NSFW images] pic.twitter.com/i6kXhedW2w

My latest on @NotchesBlog covers (in)decency and phallocentrism in activism and the archives. Check out the giant dick pic that inspired it all (NSFW, of course). Thanks @RFSLsthlm, @SFAIDSFound, @actupny, @galaeiphilly, and the Wilcox Archives @WayGay! https://t.co/CsMj0nwKth pic.twitter.com/IS09mS4jN9
