are you: trans? a metal musician? want to contribute to a compilation album that will raise money directly for trans people in need? then what the fuck are you waiting for?? get in the pit!! forms.gle/dhtLGhurrwQs...

$screenshot of google doc that says the following: Trans Metal Comp; Hi!! We're putting together a compilation album comprised of metal tracks composed by trans musicians and are currently seeking submissions! The album will be released on Bandcamp on June 26th and all sales will go directly towards individual trans folks' fundraising campaigns. We had initially planned on donating to an organization, but the fact of the matter is that right now, trans people need money, and the best way to help is by giving directly. We will be as transparent as possible with where the money goes and boost who we can. If that sounds good to you, read the guidelines below and come headbang along with us! \m/ ALL subgenres of metal permitted. Power metal, deathcore, crossover thrash; as long as it's some flavor of metal or has clear metal crossover influence to it, we'll likely accept it. Whether or not specific submissions are accepted is at the sole discretion of the organizers. If we end up not using your work for any reason, don't feel discouraged! It likely just didn't fit the vibe we're going for. NO tracks made with or containing anything regurgitated by "generative" AI NO Nazi shit. If you're trans and also a Nazi for some fuckass reason, look elsewhere. And get your damn life together. NO cis-led solo acts. If your band or project has cis people involved, that's fine!! As long as at least one member is trans and plays an active role in the performance and/or songwriting, feel free to submit. Up to TWO tracks per artist; up to two songs under the same name will be accepted. If you have or are involved with multiple projects, as long as they're distinct from each other and under different names, feel free to submit up to two tracks for each. You must own the rights to the music you submit; any tracks submitted must be owned by you or with the permission of whoever does, and you must personally be involved in the track in either its composition, performance on the recording, or…$

Finally found the new #DIY @meansmagazine.bsky.social with this wonderful #photo printed inside in my post box today and I'm now looking forward to what else it might hold. Seems like it will be much fun, telling from a first skim. #zine #artsky

On a silver laptop on a wooden surface and to the left of a black DIN A6 note-book the open pages of the A5 issue showing a black and white photo of two empty benches looking out over a lake or an ocean with the shadow of what could be a person in between them right on the zine's joint, all photographed from behind on what seems to be the far end of a boardwalk, secured by proper fencing in front and all the way back, angling off by ninety degrees on the left of the picture. There, a lamp by the edge with in the distance a lonesome island.
