Also the violent displacement of queer and trans housless people at Barbara Hall park for the 519’s genocide-funded corporate pride party was despicable. Hold the organization meant to support us and our unhoused and underserved neighbours accountable — and don’t spend your money at Green Space!

A friendly reminder I’m also a musician and play in two screamo bands! I love being in a hardcore scene cultivated by other queer and trans folks. 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
GUTMACHINE ep cover of an x-ray arm with pink fracture nails. on the right reads “GUTMACHINE” with the bands name across the j-card spine. On the left is the track listing, credits, and acknowledgements text, set vertically. keening’s demo single artwork of ““still creed murder” is already the name of a band, so i’ll call this song “untitled” and hope you figure out it’s about you.” the artwork is of a black backdrop with grey birds flying right across the bottom of the square.
