Jami chats with Kate Pierson of The B-52’s in an incredible episode. Her shows are always fantastic, but this one was truly exceptional—I loved it! #b52s #music #musicsky www.songsthatsavedyou.com/p/an-intervi...

If you’re in the mood for a podcast, try a radio show instead. I sat down with Kate Pierson of the B-52’s to discuss her legacy as a queer icon and the songs that saved her life. Tune in for a great chat and even better music. #musiciansky #music #queer #queerhistory

The government says that I can only be a boy or a girl now. So I guess they do like drag performance.

Months before RuPaul would push drag performance to international acclaim with his hit single Supermodel, a #drag queen in Chicago broke boundaries in the world of American politics. https://buff.ly/3EcsiUE #LGBTQ #USPolitics #QueerHistory

On today’s episode of Dumpster Fire Theatre, TikTok is back.

What are your go-to sources for news?

I commend the music supervisor for including Sinead O'Connor's cover of Nirvana's "All Apologies." I hope the rest of the soundtrack is as queer.

I had no intentions of being a writer. I never believed that I had the talent or patience for it. I’m a writer now because I feel obligated to tell the stories that have been erased by history. I want to give back to my queer ancestors. I owe the safety and privilege I have today to them. #lgbt

Post a non-religious photo you think of as holy...

We’re not going back.

Can I tho?

I don't do traditional end of year album lists... but I'm not avoiding them entirely. Obviously. Here's the first of four installments of best new releases for people who don't pay attention to new music.

Sharing more of my music. "Icarus" is my reflection on humanity’s hubris—our disregard for climate change. I just finished this video to help make the point. Enjoy…?

Kurt was a real one

On the next episode of Songs That Saved Your Life Radio, I'll be discussing Cobain's legacy as a staunch feminist and queer rights activist. You can listen live on Wednesday from 1-3pm EST or I'll post a link to the episode here. radiokingston.org/en/broadcast... #queer #music #nirvana

Y'all, I've done my homework here and I stand by it.
