youtu.be/5iBXwSFEFwc?... I wrote this back in 2020. I wasn't planning to release it as a single. But normalization and grief have been on my mind a lot, so I guess I wanted to ask this now... as the days go by and this starts to feel normal, can we let ourselves even grieve what we lose?

I don't think the collar on my shirt fooled anybody today. I have a fuckin mullet 😂. I might wear a nice t shirt tomorrow. At least I'll be comfortable while I stick out 😅.

Genuinely confused as to why the people who design clothes think that ppl who wear men's dress clothes are larger than ppl who wear regular men's clothes.

I got my middle name from my friend Joel. 2 days ago would've been his 70th birthday. I miss our pew hangs the most. Here's me on the pew singing the song I wrote about him. youtu.be/L2ghP-r2B-0?...

For many years now I have personally done my best to replace the word "passing" with "blending" (in trans contexts). It's been very healthy for me. tbh I sort of expected others to come to the same conclusion and for our group vocabulary to shift. I don't think it has. thoughts?

youtu.be/JRrBF17omf4?... I put out a new EP, and a lyric video for the last song on it. It's a song about rising fascism and it's called "Already Lost". And somehow, despite everything... I swear it's hopeful.

Infinite love to the trans people who are just finding themselves right now, who are just starting hrt right now, who are looking at the world and saying, despite it all, fuck you im me. You are stronger than any government could ever hope to be, and we are here to make sure that you survive

What are ppl using as a capcut replacement? Sync audio to video, & auto lyrics with a custom font, being the main features I need aside from the obvious..

Remember that one time in 2015 when North Carolina made it illegal for us to go to the bathroom and everyone cared? The NBA even moved the all star game! wtf was that about? I'm genuinely baffled bc I can't think of another time that cis ppl have cared.

I’m fucking done with doomerism. I understand it. I’ve been in it. But it eats you from the inside and paralyzes you when you need to be active the most. To live. To plan for the future. To build the life that you DESERVE. That you CHOOSE

It feels silly, but the combo of losing tiktok and meta going full bigot at the same time is hitting me kind of hard. I guess this is supposed to be the place to be, but these text ones have never worked for me.
