I really enjoyed getting lost in this compilation, which manages to create a narrative journey through care, loss and evolution without it feeling disjointed. Truly a labour of love and creativity.
𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘢, Red Hot's massive musical project for trans charities with new songs by Sade, Andre 3000, Sam Smith and more, is out today. We spoke with Red Hot founder John Carlin about the fascinating history of their albums—he has stories for DAYS—and imagining a more equitable future via music ❤️ 🏳️⚧️
The History of Red Hot, the Pioneering Social Change Organization, in 8 Great Songs
Ahead of ‘Transa,’ a new project for trans charities featuring Sade and André 3000, Red Hot founder John Carlin talks about wrangling Nirvana through Kurt Cobain’s babysitter and accidentally releasing the first-ever Wilco song.

This morning when community members were supporting the young protester from last night who was arrested, awaiting their release, the ottawa police arrested one of the organizers for the weekly protests.
I attended the weekly protest for Palestine/Lebanon this afternoon and evening in Ottawa, and I’m trying to make sense of the level of police brutality and repression I saw with my own eyes. I’m still processing, but what happened tonight was a display of fascist violence.

Interesting comments from Ottawa Police telling Palestinian anti-war demonstrators they have “no rights” to march in the street
“That’s the reason we cleared Wellington when the Freedom Convoyers were there”
