Today is trans day of remembrance. Make sure to check in with your people. Take care of yourselves. And remember: existence is resistance. Feel your joy, love and hope on, and they cannot win! Don't you dare go hollow, friends. We shall persevere.

I could just totally be projecting, and I have no idea what it is that makes me think this, but I swear ~something~ about Godspeed You! Black Emperor's music radiates transfemme vibes. Do any other dolls relate?
