This Thurs I’m collaborating with a whole bunch of CT songwriters to play on each others’ tunes as The CT Hope Collective at The Social in New London, CT to benefit the New London Homeless Hospitality Center. It’s going to be a really special show. When else will you see me do a glockenspiel solo?

Last night’s Halloween Hangover music and drag show at 33 Golden St. in New London hosted by Lucy Cigarettes was one to remember. The energy of the crowd was amazing. I went for a Frank Iero circa 2004 look, and I played a Les Paul Special instead of the Mustang. I liiiiiked it a lot.

Y’all…I have a free outdoor gig tonight with the full band in Cheshire, CT at Ball and Socket Arts. Bring a picnic and hang out in a parking lot with us? The Sawtelles, our forever ride-or-die pals open. I’m pretty sure there’s a pizza place nearby so pie picnic sounds pretty dang good.

To be clear: today's ruling doesn't make it less likely your child is trans, which is the whole objective of the anti-trans movement: fewer trans children by any means. It only makes it far less likely your child has access to lifesaving medical care if they're trans, which has never been a choice.

The National Park Service has removed "T" and all mention of transgender people from the Stonewall National Monument. Trans women were some of the most influential activists behind the Stonewall movement and what followed. 3 articles of clothing laws were why raids happened. Erasure.

“By the time of Stonewall...we had 50 to 60 gay groups in the country. A year later...1500.”
Before the 1960s, almost everything about living openly as a lesbian, gay, bisexual (LGB) person was illegal. The Stonewall Uprising on June 28, 1969 is a milestone in the quest for LGB civil rights and provided momentum for a movement.
