I've started making a playlist of trans artists on spotify. I figure if it can help other artists get discovered , or generally help bring a scene together, it can't be bad. If you have suggestions on who to add or if you'd like to be added, hmu. #trans #music open.spotify.com/playlist/6Q5...

It appears the organisation @notaphaseorg.bsky.social has put up an important fundraiser to help pay for their funds for the good work they do. Check out their link tree here where you can support them: linktr.ee/notaphase.or...

HEY EVERYONE,

This is not an easy message to share.

We need to be completely transparent with you - our support system - about where we stand right now. As some of you may already be aware, we have lost almost all of our corporate partners, and securing new support this year has been incredibly difficult.

Not A Phase has seen remarkable growth over the past 5 years, more than doubling in scale year on year. That trajectory speaks to the urgent need for our services, now supporting over 4,000 service users. Right now, those very services are at risk of being paused - or, in some cases, discontinued.

On Wednesday we celebrate our fifth birthday - an incredible milestone. Every reshare & donation helps uplift the lives of trans+ adults across the UK. The current political climate & media landscape have made it far less appealing for brands to align themselves with trans-led causes.

With that in mind, I'm asking you all to keep us front of mind as we approach Pride season and the summer ahead. If there are opportunities - big or small - to support our work, please do consider us. We want nothing more than to keep everything running for those who need us most.

With love and solidarity, Danielle & The NAP Team x

This beautiful article encapsulates some of the queer experience in Turkey and Istanbul - it’s well worth a read for everyone, but perhaps in particular those who need some hope for queer resistance under theocratic authoritarianism these days. www.artforum.com/columns/kaya...

Above the Clouds: Underground

Rather than one continuous narrative, Above the Clouds: Underground is a collection of scenes. Istanbul served as the glue that bound these vignettes, with its melancholy views and intricate histories...

Looking at David Wojtowycz's work. The landscape... is a sentient one. The exhibition most obviously draws inspiration from Stanislaw Lem’s novel ‘Solaris’ Indeed, the first work we encounter is a film by David Wojtowycz that depicts a familiar yet alien. #QueerArt #QueerCulture #ContemporaryArt

Something beautiful is starting to take shape: a space for queer joy and expression. It’s early, but real. If you’ve ever wanted to help build something like this from the ground up, I’d love to talk. Crowdfunding soon, and the more community involved, the stronger it’ll be. #QueerArt #QueerCulture
