This feels like the safest place to stow this and I don’t feel like bombarding my friends, so here’s a thread to be updated: I’ve started reading Dungeon Crawler Carl to see what all the ruckus is about, and holy shit. This is so sad

Pop culture looks different in some pretty substantive and drastic ways if Kanye West never interrupts Taylor Swift at the 2009 VMAs, I’m so serious

Me, for the last week: you know, I get it, but a truly gobsmacking percentage of trans art has sadness and pain as loci Also me: [drafts a poem that ends with “I AM JUST A DEAD MOM”]

Keeping all my ready-to-read poems in one Google doc was a smart idea until I started tweaking them for submissions/the fuck of it, and now I have to track down what goes where for their most recent versions

It is very funny to be Mad about this article. SG clearly gave Arcade Fire the “fuck this band” special: an early, deliberate mention and linking of the allegations, a bored and factual news brief, and then throwing the band to the commentariat to flambé them

This gets at something I've been thinking about, esp. w/r/t some Christian Boomers I know. They'll tell me to my face that doing me the courtesy of referring to me as I've asked them to is an infringement on their core beliefs & natural law, then be confused I'm not thrilled to break bread with them

A thing that I find incredibly interesting is the world is full of people who genuinely believe they have a *right* to be liked and for people to be obsequious towards them. I have seen it from a wide range of people, and it never ceases to amaze me. No one *has* to be your friend!

Everything they say about adult Catholic converts applies to JD Vance, and then you gotta add a 2.5x multiplier on top of it because he entered the faith at St. fucking Gertrude

DnD world where clerics/faith are reworked to be rooted in a non-Christian religion so that neither the players nor DMs enter any church plot with a countdown until the reveal of The Church is Bad, Actually, or at least without feeling guilty about it

Where's the Disney duty of care to a trans teenager? I bet she weighed up the cons of being so publicly out as a trans girl with the benefits of bringing representation & hope to trans kids. Now Disney pulls the representation while doubling the publicity & hate she will receive. Cowards

One less understood thing about trans care is that there's not a one-stop shop for your needs. Generally, you end up with a team that includes a PCP, a therapist, and various surgeons and other docs. This is how medicine works, but it's often treated as a conspiracy when it comes to trans people.

Target rolling back the rainbow vomit Pride collection this June just to drop this Very Fucking Trans sweater in November is so fucking funny
Audrey wearing a fuzzy sweater with pastel blue, white, and pink stripes that, it should be said, isn’t even trans flag coded as much as it is just the damn flag.

There's obviously a lot of stuff in this wider space that I loved from this year (Mannequin Pussy, Foxing, Cassandra Jenkins, Half Waif, Cloud Nothings), but it's never felt less urgent to stay up on the indie rock horse race.

audrey g. @audgee122.bsky.social · 25/11/2024
Great read that got me thinking about how I feel kinda checked out on institutional indie rock this year and how much of it has the vibe of “party that doesn’t know it ended a half hour ago.” Probably hard for young artists to feel inspired rn

Turns out the magic to unlocking your confidence on the dance floor as a transfemme is just imagine that you dancing is a scene in an A24 movie

Jack's leveled off into a high-floor producer whose only weakness seems to be that he won't push an artist when they sometimes need it. The only thing to hate on these days is how thoroughly fucking *cooked* he and Taylor are as collaborators.

I should probably share my #poetry collection on here, even if it was written under a name now on life support. The majority of these were written on the doorstep of starting a medical transition bookshop.org/p/books/poem...

Conclave makes selecting a new pope look like the TCA press tour, which makes me think I would crush being a cardinal in the Catholic-- (An aide rushes in from offstage and whispers in my ear.) Friends, it would seem several things prevent me from becoming a cardinal in the Catholic Church.
