Deedre Conkey

Hi! I’m Deedre. Socially awkward, definitely ADHD. Lover of glitter, talking too loudly indoors, and smashing the patriarchy with my weird fashion choices. I’m a writer and a reader, an over thinker, a fierce advocate for human rights. Do you want to be friends? I feel like maybe we could be friends

You say feral like it’s a bad thing. B*tch please, I’ve survived worse before breakfast. #midlifegoblinphase #neurospicy #hanginthere #feral #mentalhealth

The weirdness and whimsy shall continue until the morale improves.

They won’t stop with this shit unless we stand up and refuse to accept it as normal. This. Is. Not. Normal. This is fascism in plain sight.

I just launched a Facebook group for fashion rebels, glitter weirdos, and loud hearts. We’re starting from zero and aiming for 100 by July 1. If we hit it, there’s a surprise in it for y’all 👀 Join the After Hours Party: www.facebook.com/groups/frnaf...

This isn’t just nail art—it’s protest in polish.💅 The Color Street Foundation is donating $2K to The Trevor Project for LGBTQ+ youth. Wear “Heart of Pride” & raise hell in rainbow. Joy is resistance. 🌈 www.colorstreet.com/fashionrebel...

Just dropped a voiceover of my poem Pink: a poem about reclaiming your wild. Watch it on YouTube + read more rebel words at fashionrebelnation.substack.com youtube.com/shorts/wB4i1...

Owning a body is way more complicated than the warranty implied. I’m raising money for a comprehensive blood test which helps me get closer to answers, and hopefully, solutions. Help me keep this semi-functional human semi-functional for a lot longer. ko-fi.com/deedreconkey

Can anyone recommend some good accounts to follow for dopamine fashion, handmade jewelry, upcycling etc? A lot of the creators I follow on other platforms aren’t on BlueSky and it’s a damn shame.

The “Religious Liberty Commission” isn’t protecting freedom — it’s weaponizing faith to bulldoze civil rights. This is a direct attack on church/state separation. Contact your reps: demand they dismantle it. Freedom belongs to everyone, not just the bullies. #resist

Need more glitter, rage, and style inspo in your life? Follow my alter ego @fashionrebelnation.bsky.social It’s like regular Deedre, but with eyeliner.

Jesus rose from the grave, not to bless the billionaires, but to remind us to tear down injustice, lift up the broken, and love radically. Easter isn’t for empire—it’s for liberation. ✊🌈❤️ #happyeaster #easter

Pigeons can actually recognize themselves in mirrors with extensive training — something very few animals can do. Somewhere out there is a pigeon questioning its entire existence.

Feeling helpless? Pick 1 cause today (abortion access, voting rights, trans youth) and donate $5, sign a petition , or repost resources. Every small ripple matters. #bethechange #resist #tinyactsbigimpact

They said a woman’s body couldn’t handle the English Channel. Gertrude Ederle said hold my goggles and swam it faster than any man ever had. In 1926. While half the world clutched their pearls. Be loud. Be strong. Be the reason they choke on their doubt. #rebelwithacause

Because we can all use some news that isn’t terrible every once in a while, please go follow @goodnewsnetwork.org.web.brid.gy They might just restore a teeny, tiny bit of your faith in humanity ❤️

A MORAL CRISIS “The rule of law is being trampled. Innocent people are being disappeared. Court orders are being ignored. If you claim to love this country—if you believe in the Constitution, due process, order, and justice—this must be your line in the sand.” Take 3 minutes. This is important.

Throwing it back to my 36th birthday party because this outfit makes my little #fashionrebel heart happy. You do you, and if anyone says, you can’t wear that - grab a fist full of emergency pocket glitter, launch it into the air with flourish and say, “Bitch please, I’m a walking art exhibit.”

It’s #affirmation time. Take a deep breath and belt it with your whole chest my little chaos gremlins:

Bite sized #selfcare tip with love and a sprinkle of feral spice ❤️

A proverbial fist full of glitter, a willfully defiant heart - I breathe life into the silences, stoke tiny embers in the dark.

Don’t let the bastards get you down ✊❤️

Look ma, new nails 🤗 When the world is burning, the simple pleasures are what matter most. Glitter is my happy place, what’s yours? Get your glitter on: mobile.colorstreet.com/my/fashionre...

If the news has you spiraling, it’s okay to log off before you start doom-scrolling straight into the void. The world will still be a dumpster fire when you get back—but you will be a slightly more hydrated, slightly less unhinged version of yourself. And that’s a win.

So many adventures ❤️ A trip to the KC Renaissance Festival, a gathering at the now closed Donut Hole in Wichita, and a birthday party favor from the movie Wicked. Mementos of a life well lived.

The president’s bid to overhaul major parts of our election systems threatens to disenfranchise millions of Americans, compromise sensitive voter data, and disrupt elections nationwide. Here’s what you need to know:

The new Color Street site is live and I’ve unapologetically glam-bombed it. Now featuring 85% glitter, 10% rebellion, and 5% me yelling “LOOK HOW CUTE!” into the void. Come experience the sparkle: mobile.colorstreet.com/my/fashionre... #nails #manicure #glitter

They’re finally starting to show some wear. If I had all the dolla, dolla bills I’d buy a pair in every color and wear nothing but glitter sneakers till the day I die.

Benadryl. Because you can’t sneeze if you’re unconscious.

“But you are capable of a whole range of emotions that can coexist. Joy and sorrow. Grief and delight. Laughter and despair. Sometimes the absurdity even keeps us afloat.” -Kate Bowler and Jessica Richie

I started a YouTube series to keep myself accountable while I try to function like a real adult. Week 1 = the origin story. Come witness the burning train wreck that is my hair. youtu.be/VYWmcD5A8_k?...

My husband keeps sending me these clips to cheer me up. This will forever be the only version of this song I sing in the shower from now on. www.youtube.com/shorts/TZWVa...

Common decency? Nope, fresh out. Common courtesy? Nah, that’s out too. Common sense? That train done left the station and caught on fire.

It’s ok to be scared. Shit out there is scary. But the world does keep turning even when it’s on fire. Please take a few minutes to read this thoughtful article by @piperformissouri.bsky.social It might give you a little comfort today. jesspiper.substack.com/p/juxtaposit...

@missjessielawson.bsky.social I was inspired by your beautiful hair. Got a color I’ve never tried before, blue!

I’m tired boss.

I have fallen victim to the dreaded you-snooze-you-lose 😩 It’s BOGO. I could have had 2. Et tu executive dysfunction?

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! Now more than ever, we need to show up for the trans community—not just with words, but with action. Visibility is powerful, but protection, support, and love are what keep people safe. Trans lives are precious. Let’s fight like hell to keep them that way. #TDOV

My brain is so overstimulated right now it’s like one giant raw nerve. All the hours spent staring at my laptop got me like:

Just plugging away, working on some graphics for my website. If you’d like to toss a coffee my way on Ko-fi to help fuel the chaos, I’d be much obliged ❤️☕️ ko-fi.com/deedreconkey

Tinkering in Canva. Turning my name into a logo. Kinda want to put on a Dean Martin record and drink a Cosmo with these vibes.

Delicate petals, ideal for politely flipping off the patriarchy in style. 🤘 #manicure #nails #creativenails #nailart #fashionrebel

Maybe some people have a headache because they’ve been staring at a screen all day and it’s time to put down the damn electronics. Ok, it’s me. I’m the some people.

In the wise words of Maxine, “aren’t you just the most adorable little black hole of need?”
