Listening to this record on vinyl for the first time in probably 20 years and god damn it’s still so good.

I might fuck around and release an album later this year. Got no money, no label… what could go wrong?

I wrote a book and it came out today! Thanks to Lived Places Publishing for believing that my story is worth sharing. I’m really grateful for the opportunity to share my stories in a new medium, and hope that this book finds the folks who need it. Link: livedplacespublishing.com/book/isbn/97...

Does anyone remember what ā€œprecedented timesā€ were like? I wanna try those out for a while

Why does it feel like federal judges are blocking every executive order except the ones directly impacting trans people…?

I’ve got spring shows coming up! jessyedmusic.com/tour

Might fuck around and play a cover of ā€œWhole of the Moonā€ tomorrow night.

If there is one person in all the world I will ALWAYS take time out of my day to hate on, it’s Katy Perry.

I will say this - EVERYONE with power seems to be desperately hoping that unpopularity does the work that consequences need to do

Why do you think that Trump and his little Salvadoran dictator in training took time out of a meeting about concentration camps to bash trans people…? Anyone…? I have a hunch, and it’s not good.

I fear the Simpsons may disappoint us all today…

I will never forgive senate dems for unanimously confirming Rubio. I need y’all to never ever forget this and never let THEM forget it.

Enacting blatant and senseless cruelty on trans people and immigrants is a great way to distract the masses from the cruelty you are simultaneously enacting on them. Tale as old as time, it seems.

When we talk about ā€œtrans issuesā€ we need to mean more than just access to hormones and name changes šŸ³ļøā€āš§ļø housing is a trans issue šŸ³ļøā€āš§ļø healthcare is a trans issue šŸ³ļøā€āš§ļøpolice surveillance is a trans issue šŸ³ļøā€āš§ļøcensorship is a trans issue šŸ³ļøā€āš§ļøcriminalization is a trans issue šŸ³ļøā€āš§ļøgenocide is a trans issue

Boston and other massholes… Help us sell out this show to raise funds for a great grassroots, Mass-based Trans org! (More info in thread) We still have tickets and we want that to change! PS there will also be a livestream ;-) www.passim.org/live-music/e...

This Friday myself and some wonderful friends will be playing Club Passim in Cambridge, to raise funds for @masstpc.org There is also a livestream ticket option for folks out of town. Read more about the show and get your tickets (link in article) vanyaland.com/2025/03/31/b...

There is a big, angry knot of anxiety perched squarely in my sternum today.

It’s wild to me how defensive I used to get when folks would say that ā€œboth sidesā€ were corrupt. Like babygirl, welcome to 2025. Democrats are useless shills and literally no one cares about us.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

I think I’m through with ā€œnicenessā€ when dealing with powers that would destroy me, my community, and other humans with marginalized identities for the sake of profit, power, or political cache. As I said in an ā€œunsubscribeā€ note to a Gavin Newsome fundraising email, kindly fuck ALL THE WAY off.

Re: the ā€œpeople who menstruateā€ uproar… I don’t understand why TERFs get so mad at being called ā€œpeople.ā€ I for one think it’s pretty generous of anyone to consider them people.

This is cringe, but any record labels want to take a chance on a rad Trans lady rocker with an album about the power of joy for resistance, resilience, and survival? Me and Aaron Lee Tasjan created something really beautiful and I’m sitting on some killer masters that feel so right for this moment.

You cannot negotiate with terrorists. If the Ivies give in to any regime demands, the goal posts will move. If the massive ivy endowments aren’t deployed to preserve institutional integrity and academic freedom, what on earth are they for?

I love this song and Chappell, but this headline isn’t it. Let’s not do a repeat of the Bey fiasco letting another amazing (and successful) artist overshadow the countless artists with marginalized identities who have been doing this for a long time.

A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill. Do not let anyone play games with you.

The state dept has opened up comments for folks to share their thoughts on the transgender passport ban. ACLU has more info and a link to comment. This impacts me and any other Trans person you know. PLEASE take a moment to comment You can do so anonymously action.aclu.org/reg-action/h...

There are some really righteous tunes on this list! Happy to have been included

Without downloading any new pics, describe your gender

Trans folks missing from @slotkin.senate.gov ā€˜s sotu response…? And don’t get me started on all of the Reagan-worship We’re screwed.

One of the brilliant things our current iteration of oligarchs did is get people to conceive of free speech as being able to call your coworkers slurs rather than using it to say stuff like why are my tax dollars subsidizing your billionaire ass

Last night was special in a way I can’t articulate in a post. This woman’s songwriting craft, performance chops, humor, and generosity of spirit are far beyond what I’d even imagined. Can you believe I got to hang w/Lisa Loeb?

I’m playing an opening set for Lisa Loeb in Greenwich, Rhode Island tonight… 13 year old me is pretty psyched.

I look hot today. You’re welcome.

Seems like a pretty good time to re-share this track which was remixed/produced by my sweet sis LaFemmeBear. We WILL be standing when all the rage crumbles to dust. open.spotify.com/track/4rhXML...

I spent way too long coming up with this graphic, so you’ve GOT to come see me open for Lisa Loeb at The Greenwich Odeum in Rhode Island this Thursday! Tickets and info at www.greenwichodeum.com/2024/02/27/l...
