Modern emo songwriting tip: I-V-vi-IV or vi-IV-I-V chord progression? 🚫 IVsus9 chord in an open tuning for a full song? ✅️

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! Did you know that some trans people have what's known as ULTRA-VISIBILITY and if you misgender them on TDOV they'll glow so brightly that it'll blind you?

This week it was uncovered that the Trump regime is trying to "cure" trans prisoners of being transgender, while doing everything they can - from labeling our mere existence as explicit to stripping us of our legal documents - to ensure we *all* end up imprisoned in their ever-growing camps.
Bureau of Prisons:
February 19, 2026
PURPOSE AND SCOPE
To establish professional guidelines for the mental health evaluation and treatment of inmates meeting the diagnostic criteria for Gender Dysphoria (GD) to assist their progress toward recovery, while reducing or eliminating the frequency and severity of symptoms and associated negative outcomes.

Under a new policy released Thursday, the Trump Administration will test conversion therapy on trans people in prisons. It explicitly states that it aims to help trans people “recover,” all the while forcibly detransitioning them both medically and socially. transitics.substack.com/p/the-trump-...

The Trump Administration is Testing Conversion Therapy By Medically Experimenting on Trans People in Prisons
The Bureau of Prisons is subjecting trans people to conversion therapy and denying them care with the goal of helping them "recover." It's trying to prove dangerous conversion practices can work.

Recently, I listened to all of Weezer's albums chronologically for the first time to prove once and for all (to myself, subjectively) that the people who say only the Blue Album and Pinkerton were good are (somewhat) wrong. I also wasted so many hours of my life. Synopsis in the thread below:

Side note on lyrics, I get really tired of bands full of grown-ass adults who only write about their attraction to women in a really juvenile way. I don't like my band being compared to Weezer, blink-182, etc. because I would never write the kind of gooner diary shit they manage to get away with

My new song "Beating Heart" is out today ❤️‍🔥 "Beating Heart" is about pulling yourself away from seeking closure. It's the timeless battle between the head and the heart, except it's to the point where the head is having an intervention with the heart caseywells.bandcamp.com/track/beatin...

Next Friday we're suiting up for our last mission of 2025 and joining Dauber and Dreadmill at Cobra Nashville for a fun night of punk rock!
A flyer detailing a show December 19 at Cobra (labeled "The Cobra") in Nashville, TN, featuring Dreadmill, Dauber (new band from King Mike of Screaming Females), and OK Koala. Final line says, "Doors at 7, it'll cost ya 12 bucks, show up or miss out"

Okay fuck Spotify but our newest single has 800 streams on there and if it hit 1000 by year's end that would be wild right? And guess what, even if you listen and don't like it, throw it on repeat anyway bc right now it wouldn't even mess up your data, December is the wrapped dead zone baybee

With Halloween only a week away I’d like to share my own favorite spooky season conspiracy: We don’t know what the Monster Mash sounds like. The song “Monster Mash” is about a dance that the monsters are doing, but we never hear the song itself. The song they’re dancing to could be way cooler.

This is officially the longest government shutdown in history. Trump is paying for a $250 million renovation to the White House while millions of government workers face poverty for a political stunt. Kirsti Noem is getting two private jets. And the Republicans in Congress don't care. DAMN.
