As a 50 year old trans woman who transitioned with 40 glorious years of "male advantage" development under her belt, I can honestly say that my cat who died two years ago could easily trounce me in any athletic competition.

It's that time again - when I host Expansions, a radio show on #KEXP. It's electronic music, and I play all sorts of stuff. House, techno...uh, bing-bong, waddle-step, speed pickle, hard doink, etc. Sun Jun 15, 9:00-midnight PST 90.3 FM (sea) 92.7 FM (SF/bay) www.kexp.org + apps (streaming)

There's a lot going on right now that needs attention, but one thing we don't talk about enough is butthole cramps.

My new favorite genre of satire is articles about "what they can't do." Ah, yes tell me more about this [squints] "constitution" and these "laws."

I have completed my second IRL drawing, with IRL art supplies on real paper. How many more of these do I need to do to consider myself an artist? Prob three more? This is ink, chalk pastels, colored pencils, acrylic paint, posca marker.

OMG I am actually doing analog work on paper now. No undos is scary! This is ink, chalk pastels, acrylic, and colored pencils on an old road map (of Alaska, I think.)

Her name is Ellena. She's obsessed with 90210, but only the first two seasons. Her favorite color is pigeon blue. She enjoys standing on top of large hills and pretending she is a giant monster, about to destroy the sprawling city below. She prefers pears over plums.

Her name is Kellana. When she gets a Slurpee she mixes all the flavors into one cup. Even if one of the flavors is too runny. Which of course it always is. She was in a car accident at the age of 18. It wasn't her fault. Sometimes she eats oatmeal in the morning. Rom-coms make her sleepy.

I think it's actually really bad that we have instant access to every thought and opinion of billions of ppl around the world at our fingertips.

Her name is Stephanai. One time her brother gave her a horse cake for her birthday. She hates horses, but loves cake. She has an irrational fear of Slip n Slides. On warm summer nights she stays up just a little bit late to lay in her yard and look up at the stars.

Her name is Lithana. She works at a pizza restaurant owned by an aging ex-journalist. On her breaks she walks to the park and sits on the bench near the fountain. She watches people as they walk by, conjuring whole universes in her mind, creating backstories and struggles for each of them.

Now listening: Mister Saturday Night catalog on shuffle. This really is just some of the best stuff. It's basic science.

make it stop

We were thinking about going to Victoria BC this year, but we decided against it because I'm trans and we're not confident about getting back into the country without incident. I dunno, but that seems kinda fucked up, no?

More than 50 years @kexp.bsky.social has stood by folks! It is great to see our Seattle friends + heroes @djjohnrichards.bsky.social @larrymizelljr.bsky.social get featured in Spin 📸 Left of the Dial: Seattle’s KEXP Heals What Ails Its Listeners via Spin Magazine ❤️ 📻 🤘 www.spin.com/2025/03/left...

BRAND NEW to bandcamp !!! And all proceeds match funded x 2 and going straight to Food Bank Aid (this applies to any and all bandcamp purchases btw)

There's a lot going on right now that needs attention, but one thing we don't talk about enough is butthole cramps.

Maybe her name is Kamille. I don't think she likes Christmas, apart from candy canes. She has fond memories of candy canes from childhood and it's one of the only things she enjoys purely. She hates polka, and thinks that red is a cop-out.

This new #art drawing is giving ORTBO, but maybe that's just because I've been living in Severance podcasts this week...

Hey @johnmoe.bsky.social! In the official Severance podcast, show runner Dan Erickson makes a passing mention to one of his first L.A. jobs at a door factory, and how he learned more than he ever wanted to know about hinges. @sleepwithcelebs.bsky.social 👀

Maybe with The Great Unwokening they'll change "Climate Pledge Arena" to something way less embarrassing?

A tribute to DWJ's awesome EXTREMITY - watercolors & ink

The show will be available to listen in the archives on kexp.org for two weeks! I had a headache the whole time, but I think it still sounded good.

I am one of the hosts of a little electronic dance music radio show here in Seattle called Expansions, on KEXP. And, wouldn't you know it, I'm hosting tonight! Oh wow! Sun Feb 23, 9:00pm - midnight PST 90.3FM Seattle / 92.7FM Bay Area kexp.org x streaming apps

Them: "Hey if you don't like it, don't do crimes that land you in prison." Also them: *criminalizes being trans*

If you like really cool stuff and haven't heard the @jamesholden.bsky.social remix of The Smile's 'Don't Get Me Started' yet, do yourself a favor... www.youtube.com/watch?v=jplo...

Razzles-ass US government be like "First it's candy...then it's GUM!"

Oh, HELL NO! Not in my backyard, bitches.

This tweet is such a weird rollercoaster.

These past few years, Keith Rankin has been a major music obsession for me. Does this album do anything to change that going forward? No, no it does not.

It's another digital #art #drawing! And I even included a slight notion of a background. Really breaking new ground here.

If there aren't at least two Eggers films a year, the fascists have truly won.

Here it is, I have done another digital #art featuring lines, colors and shapes. It has a vibrant background, my goodness! Whatever will the neighbors say? Also, please do not smoke. This #drawing is not an endorsement of the smoker lifestyle. It is bad for you.

Hello, Sharks. Have you ever noticed how your dinner plate doesn't make its own saliva?

I can’t believe the reaction to this History of Black Club Music show! We received 114 positive comments in 3 hours at the station, not even including my own social media. I couldn’t even say everyone’s name on air ☺️💜🖤 You can listen back to it here: www.kexp.org/archive/

12 hours later, and the situation has turned on me. I am deeply regretting the Sriracha and pickled jalapeños. Help.

Farel Dalrymple is one of my consistent auto-purchase creators and he has a new thing out so I guess I have to practice my capitalism once again! I'm not mad about it. His work is amazing, check it out! @farel.bsky.social

I might have just turned 50, but I also had a street wiener, Taco Bell, and saw Reggie Watts play, soooo.... I'm not sure where I'm going with this, but I'm probably going to feel physically bad soon.

Black Mirror Pitch: Robots are eating scrambled eggs

I just can't help reading these texts from the ACLU as, "Don't worry, we got this! We've asked him to stop."

This feels like the most important concise thought I have read recently.

Good morning, it's a wonderful day and nothing bad or upsetting is gonna happen!

My kiddo asked me to draw a picture of their OC for them, and I've never felt so "i've been training my whole life for this."

More good news like this in 2025 plz.

Tony's Chocolonely Dark Chocolate Pretzel Toffee is the self care we all need for 2025.

I never did an official year end top 10 of 2024 post anywhere, but one album that I def want to shout-out is EVL Tom's 'Absolute Melt'. Tom is 0.5 of legendary duo Evil Nine and this solo album gives all the E9 vibes and then some! evltom.bandcamp.com/album/absolu...

The worst part? They told you they were going to do this YEARS ago, and you did nothing. We begged and you looked away.
