Iโd put tonight up alongside the best shows weโve played. The Burlington always does a grand job with the sound, the people who came out for a late show on a Sunday brought real energy. Itโs getting harder to ignore the evidence that we might actually be quite a good band
hi i don't say this a lot but i'm never comfortable with bein (even justifiably) negative or angry because it feels like my brain's fur is being brushed in the wrong direction, so, anyway:
i love yall. how's your day goin?
i want to make it clear to any loyal dems who can read this:
if you primarily value being a member of the Good Team trans rights is not optional. you know how you see your boomer parents? that's already you. you'll be sweating as you tell your kids and grandkids it was A Different Time Back Then
if being an ally is really what you want, this is the price. you have to actually be one.
if you don't, you are only an enemy, a barrier, one more person doing harm. throw your little rainbow lapel pins in the garbage disposal and flip the switch, because you don't deserve it.
we're not like you, either. we will remember. we're bitter motherfuckers. we will make sure your cowardice follows you beyond death. there will be screenshots. there will be citations.
if you can't somehow feel for us you should still do it for yourself.

you'll say things like "we had to make hard choices" and "it was just how the world worked" and they will know, just as you knew, what hollow craven bullshit that is
full and equal rights is a really low bar in the year two thousand and twenty six and anyone who wants to frame that as a naive or unreasonable purity test can go make love to an easybake oven underwater imo
I will not vote for, endorse, campaign for, or donate to any candidate or party that does not explicitly endorse FULL AND EQUAL RIGHTS to trans people in all areas of society.
I'm not a full citizen, you don't get my second-class vote. Period.
I don't think I can make it any clearer.
This bastard mutation of the beatnik coffeehouse ideal, 3 chords & the truth & sometimes not even that; a riff & a truth, packaged concisely, if it runs more than three minutes someoneโs fucked up, if you tolerate this your children will be next and if I can shoot rabbits then I can shoot fascists

i just had a random memory dislodge and recalled being at an air show in the suburbs as a kid and seeing a working b29 superfortress fly low overhead
that thing was made of fear somehow, it was so loud and big and somehow felt like it was going a little too slow to make sense

Anti-trans Democrats are spreading poison when we can least afford it, during elections in this ongoing fascist takeover.
As a strategy, itโs a recipe for failure. As a moral stand, itโs reprehensible.
PS Iโm the father of young trans woman and Iโll never forgive anyone who makes her life harder.
antway if you can't tell, maus was formative for me in a lot of ways, both artistically and historically and regarding the medium. i wrote a paper on it once in school
the more i think on it the more i don't care. more damage is being done by any given single food truck entrepreneur tbh
so maybe this is my own disappointing fuckup but i don't really care.
this has been sky works out her feelings in real time. join us tomorrow forna six part series in which she figures out what to have for lunch
so, okay. he made one sticker. i don't think it's worth throwing away his work or his voice against israel and zionism or any of these things because nuance and history, and anyone who claims they never fuck up just doesn't admit their many fuckups, but like

every trans person need to understand that in 4000 years anthropologists will dig us up to examine our bones, and moments later you better believe they're gonna learn what a skeleton's favorite snack is
