God I feel so less than so much of the time and i freakin hate it

Over the last decade many of us have worked our asses off in public & behind the scenes in whatever ways we could on equity for LGBTQIA+ representation in roots and Americana; it’s a serious shame that in the last 18 months I’ve seen many of our gains disappear. We all deserve better.

Who do I know who knows Rivers Cuomo bc I have a really large peer group for ‘em

I miss using my wedgy 2013 MacBook Air- the new form factor is off for writing, which I’m doing more of rn. So: If anyone is getting rid of a 2021-ish M1 MacBook Air so I can start using it for travel, lmk?

The best thing I’ve seen on the Internet in years

fr tho happens all the time

But seriously I want to start the Federal Theater for trans weirdo musicians @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social lez make it happen

bonus: i always forget that this song is great cuz it dunks on Cuomo before dunking on Cuomo was cool

THIS! “I don't expect Zohran Mamdani to be perfect. None of us should. Perfection isn't the point of politics. Conviction is. What matters is that he believes the government should serve the people.” - Frederick Joseph

Wikipedia founder Jimbo Wales is trying to use his name to convince Wikipedia editors to deny the Gaza Genocide, recognized by many human rights organizations. Although he's not seizing control, this is an extreme attempt to sway Wikipedia content in violation of its founding principles.

One of the best albums for the last 20 years

I suggest the new prime directive is to literally just start posting the words “you should try estrogen” in the comments of those you suspect of having the ol’ egg-itis

didn’t mamdani cut a giant campaign video with wu tang and run the jewels? why does anyone care about this irrelevant pop star who hasn’t made a hit in more than a decade!

I’ve been having a ball seeing everyone from centrist libs to magaites freaking out about Zohran. Last night’s direct and pointed victory speech scared the shit out of people and I’m so damn glad.

Don't talk to the NYT. They've betrayed families' trust before. They will lie to you and use you and then turn around and tell you it was their job. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

The fact that a lot of leftists despise Parks and Rec - one of the best and most sympathetic depictions of non-cop government in modern media - is a symptom of the fact that a lot of the left has no idea how to actually implement the policy proposals they want to enact.

Listen to Mamdani last night. "We will prove that there is no problem too large for government to solve and no concern too small for it to care about." Fuck yes. That is the democratic socialism I believe in.

[P] Found a higher-quality photo; IT *IS* TAPED UP SHEETS OF PAPER!

Busted out the trumpet today after a couple years. I set an intention earlier this month to resume my practice with it. New goal is to get good enough to hop up on stage during @kmoypro.bsky.social shows. other goal is to learn to play Misty in all 12 keys. Let’s fn go

I’m gonna call this my “butch at home“ series, in which you can see how ridiculously lingerie-core I am under the denim and leather

@zohrankmamdani is a deeply thoughtful human being and we think he would make the best NYC mayor imaginable. We feel this as New Yorkers, as Jews and as human beings who are desperate for kindness, compassion and empathy to be represented in our politics. GET OUT THE VOTE here bit.ly/4nxYXFp

Omg omg this is the actual freakin ad I was just served. There’s so much wrong with this I can’t even

The timeline is so fucked up it looks like the onion but it is not it is not and it’s so so scary

I don’t think people know how much Clippy actually means to me

Frankly, this misunderstanding of Woody explains why we keep getting the "Jesse Welles is the new Woody Guthrie" takes, and I shall be carrying my Trick Or Treat bucket accordingly because my God.

I’ve had an extremely hard day, financial stuff combined with mental health stuff combined with feeling a lot of physical pain. Please send memes and cute pics.

Three more days until our show at Penny Jo's! We're showing up and showing out with queer country stars Robert Bock @rhinestonetomboy.bsky.social @emchy.bsky.social Haylrey Rose Harrington 6 - 8 PM Sunday, 10/19 No cover! #QueerCountry #CountryMusic #NYC #NewYorkCity

Diane Keaton showed my tomboy ass inspo, how to be a practical babe and a goddess. May her memory be a blessing

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Broke: 300 tweets mocking Trump in all caps and lawsuits that go nowhere on appeal. Woke: directly combatting lost funding and resources by taxing the wealthy to support the marginalized, and centering BIPOC trans activists, not politicians, as the centerpiece of such policy.

Mamdani promises to deploy *hundreds* if lawyers to fight for trans rights, create a new office of LGBTQ affairs, and allocate millions of dollars to fund housing and healthcare for trans kids and adults This is what fighting back looks like--elevating activists to materually support trans people.

I hate you @gavinnewsom.bsky.social

This is my takeaway after listening to a lecture by a badass Black Panther anarchist tonight at the West Oakland Public Library. Community organizing requires community collaboration too

Those who learn from the past and try to repeat it are bound to fail

Be normal about and to trans women challenge

I say this all the time. Stay gold ppl

I always say, if you're on the fence about hrt, the answer is probably yes. If it hasn't crossed your mind, you're probably ok 👍🏽

Thank you as always dear @rachelcholst.bsky.social for seeing us and documenting this particular struggle

I look really cute in California

I'd rather talk about music by ppl who live in my actual world, who I can go hear without paying exorbitant ticket prices. Who make music that connects to my life. This new @junglist.bsky.social album, for example. It slaps. hannahaccount.bandcamp.com/album/echo-w...

My friend‘s literal fairytale wedding at Children’s Fairyland was epic. I saw an albino raccoon and I danced with so many people. I love to dance so much and it’s been a while. And I got a Magic Key!

I'm on my way down to Santa Cruz! Please don't let me be lonely this evening.......

Just spent a lovely morning w @swanreal.bsky.social here in my fave neighborhood in Berkeley, singing songs and talking about nice things, the sun is shining, and we’re going to a chosen family wedding at Fairyland tonight. joy is freaking powerful

Congrats @susanstryker.bsky.social and @mckenziewark.bsky.social !!

just watched @ekkoastral.bsky.social destroy the stage at the Fox in Oaklamd, now waiting for @jeffrosenstock.bsky.social to burn the splinters

There are a hundred other crimes and inhumane actions this admin is committing, but as a quick 'n easy slogan, "I will end these criminals who are bankrupting our country and violently kidnapping our neighbors" is hard to beat.

sunday sunday sunday maria hernandez park transsexual women are waiting for you!

The opposite of fear is love.
