DJ: Expansions on KEXP, misc dancefloors

Hello I make music as Hanssen and also Jacob London and I also play other people's music for dancefloors and also on the KEXP radio station and also I do art such as drawings and also sometimes embroidery and photography.
As a 50 year old trans woman who transitioned with 40 glorious years of "male advantage" development under her belt, I can honestly say that my cat who died two years ago could easily trounce me in any athletic competition.
I'm on the left. I have a gay kid. We both think it's wrong for someone who has the biological advantage of having been an ADULT male, compete as a female, at least in pro sports. Stop pushing this. And yes stop talking about it so much. You too pretty please.

It's that time again - when I host Expansions, a radio show on #KEXP. It's electronic music, and I play all sorts of stuff. House, techno...uh, bing-bong, waddle-step, speed pickle, hard doink, etc.

There's a lot going on right now that needs attention, but one thing we don't talk about enough is butthole cramps.

My new favorite genre of satire is articles about "what they can't do." Ah, yes tell me more about this [squints] "constitution" and these "laws."

I have completed my second IRL drawing, with IRL art supplies on real paper. How many more of these do I need to do to consider myself an artist? Prob three more?

This is ink, chalk pastels, colored pencils, acrylic paint, posca marker.

OMG I am actually doing analog work on paper now. No undos is scary! This is ink, chalk pastels, acrylic, and colored pencils on an old road map (of Alaska, I think.)

Her name is Ellena. She's obsessed with 90210, but only the first two seasons. Her favorite color is pigeon blue. She enjoys standing on top of large hills and pretending she is a giant monster, about to destroy the sprawling city below. She prefers pears over plums.

Her name is Kellana. When she gets a Slurpee she mixes all the flavors into one cup. Even if one of the flavors is too runny. Which of course it always is. She was in a car accident at the age of 18. It wasn't her fault. Sometimes she eats oatmeal in the morning. Rom-coms make her sleepy.

I think it's actually really bad that we have instant access to every thought and opinion of billions of ppl around the world at our fingertips.

Her name is Stephanai. One time her brother gave her a horse cake for her birthday. She hates horses, but loves cake. She has an irrational fear of Slip n Slides. On warm summer nights she stays up just a little bit late to lay in her yard and look up at the stars.

Her name is Lithana. She works at a pizza restaurant owned by an aging ex-journalist. On her breaks she walks to the park and sits on the bench near the fountain. She watches people as they walk by, conjuring whole universes in her mind, creating backstories and struggles for each of them.

Now listening: Mister Saturday Night catalog on shuffle. This really is just some of the best stuff. It's basic science.

We were thinking about going to Victoria BC this year, but we decided against it because I'm trans and we're not confident about getting back into the country without incident. I dunno, but that seems kinda fucked up, no?

Maybe her name is Kamille. I don't think she likes Christmas, apart from candy canes. She has fond memories of candy canes from childhood and it's one of the only things she enjoys purely. She hates polka, and thinks that red is a cop-out.

This new #art drawing is giving ORTBO, but maybe that's just because I've been living in Severance podcasts this week...
March 6, 2025 at 8:11 AM
Hey @johnmoe.bsky.social! In the official Severance podcast, show runner Dan Erickson makes a passing mention to one of his first L.A. jobs at a door factory, and how he learned more than he ever wanted to know about hinges. @sleepwithcelebs.bsky.social 👀

Maybe with The Great Unwokening they'll change "Climate Pledge Arena" to something way less embarrassing?

The show will be available to listen in the archives on kexp.org for two weeks! I had a headache the whole time, but I think it still sounded good.
I am one of the hosts of a little electronic dance music radio show here in Seattle called Expansions, on KEXP. And, wouldn't you know it, I'm hosting tonight! Oh wow!
