Today!
This coming weekend I’m playing a show at Kafé Ojalá in Trenton, NJ. I’ll be doing some noise and some songs with my guitar/synth/vocals set up. Four new tech apocalypse themed songs and one of my old Async Await songs.

The proposed anti-trans passport changes are a clear attack on trans people's rights to have correct identification. And for some people, their passport is their only chance. Today is the deadline for one of the three portals taking comments — it takes <5 minutes! transequality.org/news/freedom...
FREEDOM TO FLY: Take Action to Protect Trans Passport Access | A4TE
The U.S. Department of State has opened public comment periods on three important passport applications, and we must flood all three with our opposition to anti-trans changes before it's too late.

Trump's State Department is denying accurate passports to all #trans & #intersex folks. The State Dept is accepting public comments for people to submit their concerns about the new passport policy. You can submit comments anonymously on the federal register website (all three links in this thread).
