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.

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.

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.

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.
the thing about chasing what you think is public opinion is that if and when things turn you will have made a bunch of statements and taken a bunch of stances that you’ll have to disavow. probably a better strategy just to say what you actually believe and stand by it. anyway, this guy sucks.

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

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.

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.

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

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.
