I can live with this.

IF YOUR RAGE CAN'T BE BEAUTIFUL is almost ready to go to my mastering engineer and tonight at my usual Twitch stream time (exactly 12 hours from now at 9:30 pm PST) I will attempt to play the draft for everyone. Will leave the archive up for a week if it goes OK. www.twitch.tv/unwoman

In honor of Bandcamp Friday, you should preorder the new Unwoman album. It’s pretty fucking fabulous!

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @deadder.bsky.social )

This exceptional woman here, Camille Zapata, is responsible for the fiery goodness of Newsom's posts. Standing ovation!!!

All new outsides to ponder

Fuck it. Trans folks need MATERIAL SUPPORT. @distributeaid.org is launching an HRT Harm Reduction Toolkit that provides 1 year of medical supplies needed to take injection-based HRT. We were planning to go live in January, but I'm not waiting. Fund the kits here: distributeaid.org/hrt-harm-red...

TONIGHT! A Capella, Oakland, formerly the Starline Social Club! I'll be playing 2 sets between 8-11 pm. Mostly originals, some covers I haven't played in a bit. No cover, 21+, I believe. Hopefully this will be a regular gig for me.

Lol.

There are trans Americans right now looking out at this world and wondering if anyone is going to stand up for them and for their simple right to exist. Well, I am. We are. We will.

I accidentally finished 3 original songs at once, so here's a surprise backers-only mini-album, "Who's Afraid of Being Revolting?" unwoman.bandcamp.com/album/whos-a... I have just one more song to finish writing for the upcoming 14-song original album! Schedule for release etc coming next month.

Must read: Mahmoud Khalil speaks out for the first time since his arrest by the Trump administration in an exclusive letter, dictated over the phone to his family, from ICE detention in Louisiana.

There is every reason in the world to be for trans inclusion in sports, but one of the most vital reasons is every single young person should be free to engage in sports with their friends and peers, and should never be singled out, excluded, ostracized, or otherwise made to feel other or aberrant.

The Cali governor just said, "fuck trans people, they're an acceptable target of genocide" as the default head of the Democratic party. As the governor of California, the only state (esp after NY Hochul capitulation) that has the possible inclination and power to defend trans people. Please help.

Delightfully surprised to wake up to “Isabella Rossellini wears blue velvet” timeline today. Will revel a bit before the hellscape timeline kicks back on.

Five things I did last week … 1. Wake up 2. Brush my teeth 3. Sign autographs 4. Your mom 5. Donate my Elon Sux-mobile to NPR

Cheery date night conversation: “I’m really bummed there’s no chance of the asteroid destroying the planet because I don’t want to live through nuclear winter. “

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes. You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment. My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc. www.reddit.com/r/Passports/...

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

My thought as I was waking up this morning was how ironic it is that during the US's actual "cabaret" moment, no one wants to listen to Amanda Palmer.

Anyway, I didn't write this song for my trans friends, or my friends who are parents of trans kids. I wrote this for misinformed parents who risk losing communication with their children, or even their children losing their lives. unwoman.com/mamas.html

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

the fascists are looking to rigidly define gender not just to punish trans people like they claim but to lay the groundwork for the oppression of all women. when gender is legally mutable, it is harder to use it to restrict people’s rights. they want to build a cage around you, made from our bones

h/t @kimkelly.bsky.social

new @teenvogue.com: @brittneymac15.bsky.social digs into the details of Trump's exec order on trans youth healthcare. I checked with an @aclu.org senior attorney on what trans youth and their families should plan for. in short: no changes RN; stay on top of your healthcare; don't comply in advance.

Seriously

"If a woman fancies that she looks better or feels better in men's clothes, there is no reason why she may not indulge in so harmless a fancy." The illustrated book of manners: a manual of good behavior and polite accomplishments by R. De Valcourt, 1866. archive.org/details/illu...

I’m so very glad that she dared. This cover is exquisite and so dreamy.

Ok, when is Cyndi Lauper coming out with a punk album?

Girls just wanna have fun! The Sisters had the privilege of canonizing Cyndi Lauper at her SF show on Nov. 26. She is an icon and a light to the community. All hail Saint EverTrue Coloratura, Iridescent Guardian of the Rainbow Children, Fierce and Beloved Defender of the Misfits!

Now, my absolute most ambitious cover to date -- "Lover, You Should've Come Over" by Jeff Buckley which I made for my girlfriend Melanie (the beadwork artist of this album cover!) early in covidtimes and have redone 3x since then because perfectionist unwoman.bandcamp.com/live/uncover...
