That's the plan. Not stopping any time soon.

The new #saoirsedream is a twinkly dreamy gritty rollercoaster ride and we highly recommend it. #TransTunes saoirsedream.bandcamp.com/album/saoirs...

If you haven't heard "Seed of Doubt" by Chicago band Truth or Consequences New Mexico, you should check it out. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nmed...

There isn't a version of "existence is resistance" for allies. You don't get to just quietly appreciate trans folks and act like that's enough. Now is the time to get vocal and active. That can mean tons of different things, but you gotta start somewhere.

hope yall are wearing your rain pants today if you are out cycling, you may get wet, and not in the fun way #cycleto

They don’t understand you at all You undress like a switchblade I keep watch at the door No one’s looking for us

Queer songs to spiral to. One of our first singles, "Sandra", @ The Sovereign 2.13.25

Not to speak for @lillywachowski.bsky.social, but Musk claiming extirpating gov't foundations must be done bc "We're fighting the matrix big time here"--does seem like The Matrix is just trans folks living our lives. Sry being cute & liberated is such a problem. re: www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

1. Despite Republican attacks in recent years, America is queerer than ever before. LGBTQ+ identification has risen to 9.3% in the last Gallup Poll, a huge jump from 7.6% last year. I cover the latest numbers in my story. Subscribe to support my journalism.

I guess if ur queer & want to give ur body extra teeth and toomuch guts, and u want to fill u, fill u up, cuz no one owns a god, & every beast spill blood & offer some to fill u, fill you up, cuz you create yourself... you'd prob'ly like this grunge record songwhip.com/sparklingurb...

Sparkling Urbana stands with trans folks now and always.
