This Trans Day of Visibility, I’m Thinking About Gloria Hemingway and Names

As a gay, neurodivergent man raised in the South, I’ve known what it’s like to exist on the fringes

Mar 31

Graphic illustration with the text “To Be Remembered Is to Exist” in bold letters on a lavender background. On the left side are rainbow-colored raised fists symbolizing unity, resistance, and pride. On the right, there’s a colorful rainbow umbrella symbolizing protection and inclusion. At the bottom is the social media handle “@ezrakidowski.”

When Eagles Rest and Words Take Flight

My reflections on finding a new home

Apr 12

A bald eagle perches solemnly on a bare tree branch, its white head and dark feathers striking against a pale gray winter sky. The tree’s branches stretch outward like open arms, empty of leaves but full of quiet presence. The eagle gazes to the left, alert yet calm, embodying both solitude and strength.

Equality Includes You

Through My Eyes: A Homecoming at Vancouver’s Hands Off Rally — 4/5/25

This was our first protest together in 27 years — but somehow, it felt like home.

Apr 11

A cartoon-style protest scene inspired by “The Simpsons,” set in a bright city park with cherry blossom trees and a snow-capped mountain in the distance. Yellow-skinned characters, including an elderly woman with a walker, a young man with a LOVE shirt, and a woman holding a protest sign, stand among a diverse crowd holding signs like “Liberty and Justice for All” and “Paws Off Parks.” The atmosphere is colorful, cheerful, and energetic, echoing themes of civic unity and cartoon satire.

Tariffs Feel Like Trauma to This Queer Man

My personal reflection on Trump, trade wars, and the ghost of Roy Cohn.

Apr 6

Cartoon-style image of Donald Trump at a podium, holding a “RECIPROCAL TARIFFS” chart. The chart shows two bars: an orange bar with a neutral face emoji and a taller red bar with an angry face emoji and a ghostly image of Roy Cohn. Trump points emphatically at the chart.
