Trans support on social media is hollow if you’re silent in real life. It’s easy to post about trans rights online, but are you having real conversations? Are you confronting transphobia in person and in your community? Are you using any privilege you have to push for actual change?

we are live now with some sound shenanigans!

Since I essentially forced my partner to listen to Emotion not long after it came out, every time Carly Rae Jepsen has released a new album we've listened, start to finish, and we've always had the same reaction: 'Damn, she's done it again'

Tonight on stream I'll be continuing work on our little sound design experiment...and most likely talking about my new tape machine, and these dinky little mics that came with it! 8pm UK/3pm Eastern twitch.tv/tincanaudio

This TDoV we're hosting a free webinar to share what life is like in Scotland for our community, covering highlights from our Scottish Trans and Non-binary Experiences Report on the barriers we face in our daily lives. For more info and tickets click: www.outsavvy.com/event/25478/...

My partner's folks recently found a reel-to-reel tape machine in their loft, and I'm delighted to say she lives!!

If genre fiction has taught me anything, either a) our universe will merge with at least two others; b) humanity will ascend to a higher plane of material and mental reality; or c) we'll have to deal with the portal to hell opening and demons walking the earth. Hope not, I've got things to do.

We are live making music!

Tonight on stream we will be playing around with my newest music toy: the HiChord! I backed this on Kickstarter a year ago and I'm excited to try making something with it 8pm UK/3pm Eastern twitch.tv/tincanaudio

In a fit of pique I have sent the following message to the #Stonewall National Monument criticizing their decision to erase all mention of trans people from their website. If you want to do the same, feel free to copy/ paste from the alt text. www.nps.gov/ston/contact...

We had the chance to visit the Stonewall Inn when we were in New York last year, and a thing that struck me was how much it felt like a place for All of Us, and it's heartening to see them speak out against an attempt by government to erase our history

Inspired by the most recent @tincanaudio.co.uk livestream, I think it was meant to be about audio design? But I think they made Vincent Price backflip down a flight of stairs. Anyways have Vincent Price doing the sonic adventure pose.

Hi! I've been recording today so I didn't have time to do an announcement, but we're streaming more audio stuff right now! With special guest @tobias-weatherburn.bsky.social Live now!

New month, new audio piece! This month I'm going to be exploring how The Kuleshov Effect, a principle of visual storytelling, can also be applied to sound design and audio storytelling. Tonight I'll be getting started with some research and some writing! 8pm UK/3pm Eastern twitch.tv/tincanaudio

not trying to minimize the harms being done but please believe the country supports trans kids your enemies are made of paper

BREAKING: A Statement calling for Wes Streeting to Resign. Signed by: Rainbow Greens LGBTQIA+ Greens LGBT+ Liberal Democrats Out For Independence Citing recent comments by Wes Streeting on the Bayswater group.

HANG UP YOUR SABRE, TODAY YOU WILL BATTLE THE THOUGHTS THAT WOULD STEAL OUR JOY. AND YOU WILL WIN.

Having played multiple games of Nibiru run by Ella, I can confidently say this is going to be very, very good

NEW AUDIO PIECE! This month on stream I made a short doc about my experiences of relearning to drive over 10 years after getting my licence, and speak to some people who are also back behind the wheel after a long break. www.tincanaudio.co.uk/post/on-the-...

I don't know if it's the closet academic in me but I always have a notebook to hand at panels, workshops and so on. Even if I don't look at them again, writing down a thought creates a stronger memory. Oh and date every page! Small thing that makes everything so much easier!

Poppy is getting her lighting setup ready for tonight's stream, where I'll be doing some sound design/music work, including finishing off this month's experimental audio piece 8pm UK/3pm Eastern

🎙️ Trans+ podcasters - we are looking for you! 👇

Absolutely feral nonsense that got extra-weird really quickly. Want to hear three ill creators make a very rapid, violent ice cream fetishist newspaperman's death wish? Can't begin to describe it. I blame @loujsutcliffe.bsky.social (and @oldermodal.bsky.social and @tobias-weatherburn.bsky.social)!

We are live making audio drama slightly too quickly!

Tonight sees the glorious return of Audio Drama Done Quick! We'll be doing our first run of 2025 as well as talking about how you can get involved if, for some reason, you've watched us and somehow decided you want to give it a go as well 8pm UK/3pm Eastern twitch.tv/tincanaudio

Slightly odd that I finished reading Wuthering Heights yesterday and today my house sounds like how I would sound design it

It was SO loud

This has stayed with me overnight: • Parliament know that what’s going on is unethical. • This was just as obvious when Wee Streeting’s ban was put in place. • This is the real scandal of Cass: a generation of trans kids being subjected to pointless and unethical medical testing

Fun fact: if you're buying from a creator on etsy, you can reduce their etsy selling fees from 6.5% to 2.5% by ordering via 'shopname.etsy.com' instead of 'etsy.com/shopname' or searching from the main site. It costs you the same but the creator makes more

Making an audio doc for QueerAF was one of the highlights of last year for me, I cannot recommend this opportunity enough if you are a trans creative. It's a great team, it's good work and, most importantly, it's paid! Deadline 16th February

our boiler is broken so if you're wondering where I'm at today
