a really good video that gets at the core of something special and, perhaps appropriately, forever dead, and I'm not just saying it because a song I wrote keeps coming up in it.

the indian drum sketch has stuck with me forever for its sheer inexplicability but i'm gonna have to go with the one where they all wanna be women. Bruce saying lesbians are great because "they get so much done in a day" plays in my head 24/7

on the other hand, if I can indulge in the same speculation I'm currently railing against, the fact that we're having this discourse at all would probably be delightful to him.

just like, what would it mean, in the end? As it stands he's already an extremely effeminate guy obsessed with maternity and disgusted by masculinity, i think there's plenty there for us to identify with without posthumously transing him

It's one of those things that, if he was alive, would be pretty obvious, we'd all be calling him an egg, etc. But like, I dunno if it's cuz I kinda hate egg chat or because he's dead and his private journals (where a lot of direct insinuation comes from) were published, but it all feels a little off

Happy bandcamp friday! In honor of the day where I make the most money, I finally have the tape version of my new album up on my bandcamp page. Experience the exotic folk-punk stylings of a chronically alienated southwestern woman, now in physical form! noise-land.bandcamp.com/album/postca...

This is heartbreaking and so representative of the way that I think we (specifically queer folks) become so embroiled in wars of righteousness online over conflicting needs that we ruin each others' lives. "Community" is not trying to destroy and demand total obsequience in conflict.

trans people are by and large the working class. we get paid less than cis people overall (trans men make less than cis women, and trans women make less than everyone). we face housing and job discrimination. when will the conmentariat get this into their goddamned heads

I feel it’s crazy that nobody outside of trans people and REALLY invested allies seems to know that the internal trans refugee crisis is one of the biggest internal refugee migrations the United States has ever experienced.

what's crazy to me about this is that there are Indian and Asian students at every flagship university in Texas because that's who lives here and gets into our top colleges. It was like this a decade ago!!!

But that feeling of a shared bond among all Americans in the early weeks after 9/9/1999 is something I’m so glad I got to experience. Because it’s the thing that I think we’re missing the most today.

my best guess is that it was a Tuesday and that was the standard album release date back when that kind of thing mattered.

i mean all of our working titles were shit like "goth song," "gay song," "bus song." "sauc policy" at least has an important message

No graphical leap has ever hit me the way seeing Sonic Adventure in motion for the first time hit me. I remember seeing the early screenshots of PenPen TriIcelon and thinking "there's no way graphics are ever gonna get better than this"

West Coast Bride @lastyearsmodel.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
with reference to Jay's point, it's just such an over-correction. i love having a dick, i'm all for women loving their dicks, that wasn't really celebrated for a long time. but now it's less a celebration and more "trans women are chicks with dicks," which is kind of a regression to tranny porn.

it's common for marginalized groups to monolithize themselves, so as to appear as more of a united front or insist upon community, which is why I think openly displaying the wide spectrum of what an identity can mean and want is ultimately a more radical act, that we are unified and distinct

West Coast Bride @lastyearsmodel.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
this is sort of a separate point but this is also why i love Audrey's shirts. I think it's honestly more provocative these days to attach the statement specifically to oneself, to insist that it's the kind of preference one can have, without making it a proclamation over all trans-kind

while i think the "grunge's Kid A moment" thing is a bit much, No Code is definitely an underrated and compelling album in a lot of ways if you've never heard it. me and @lastyearsmodel.bsky.social did a podcast episode about it a few years back btw kitschfork.podbean.com/e/15-better-...

i don't think it's elitist to think that critics should have broader tastes or at least a broader experience of what movies can be. it is literally their job!
