Not much to say about Trans Day of Remembrance anymore besides “try loving and celebrating us while we are alive”

re: yesterday; been asked why i don't "put more effort" into sounding "feminine" 1. i do have a passable femme voice that i use if i need to not get 86'd irl 2. that cigar-burnt gravelly Ozark drawl *is* my voice. that's me. that's who i am i didn't transition to make myself more appealing to you

this has been bugging me since last night so i want to make a mention of it: i know i have a unique voice. it's part of why i've done radio for so long. i am not a man. please do not refer to my voice as "male", esp. in the chat for my shows. there is no non-transphobic interpretation of that

Clippings is our monthly comic drawn from trans history. If you appreciate Piper's work, share it with a friend and tell them all about Assigned Media, your trans news source. <3!

I see Wendy Carlos, I read. She is such a pillar in the world of taking synthesizers seriously and Switched On Bach was only her first. Wow what a nice surprise. Thank you.

shoutout to AI for waking up and choosing to attempt to 86 my job specifically as someone who's been doing "turns research papers and articles into graphic journalism" as a professional niche for a couple years now i can personally assure AI bros that this will *also* not make them profitable

The South is home to the most LGBTQ people in the US. When you shit on the South, you're contributing to a long legacy of marginalization and oppression. The South is home to some of the most badass people, wonderful food, diverse culture, and folks who are highly skilled and super funny.

this month's Clippings for @assignedmedia.org is now on the writing desk. this month, we're taking a look at synth pioneer Wendy Carlos and the generation of switched-on trans musicians she's influenced stay tuned

We had SO MUCH FUN reporting on trans representation at No Kings, but we can't bring you original journalism without funds. We're challenging you to make a donation today, to show us that on the ground reporting is what want from your trans news source. www.assignedmedia.org/support

In Chicago, one of the sponsoring organizations was Equality Illinois. @piperbomb.bsky.social spoke with CEO Channyn Lynne Parker, a proud Black trans woman, about the hardship of seeing hard won rights stripped from our community and what the Trump administration really fears.

if you needed further reason to fund trans-run media outlets like @assignedmedia.org i'd like to point out that we may have been the only national org to show up at Ch*rlie K*rk's hometown's rally, much less ask attendees how they felt about him meanwhile the NYT pretends No Kings doesn't exist

As you're attending a No Kings or other rally, remember to save signs and keep history! We have a handy zine that tells you how you can archive a protest. invisiblehistory.org/zines-guides...
