2003 and 2025 are bookends to each other, 22 years apart. 2003/2014/2025 all share the same calendar with 11 years between 2003-2014 and 11 years between 2014-2025. I have started to notice references and parallels everywhere and thought I would start a thread on 2003 and 2014.

Introducing August Ponthier ❤️

With Their New Name, August Ponthier Has Never Felt More Alive by James Factora

"It's not just about gender.
It's about me realizing that I deserve to be happy."
August Ponthier in pin striped suit

Liked by casey.mcquiston and others
them August Ponthier's wildest dreams have been coming true. The singer-songwriter recently traveled to
Colorado to open for Brandi Carlile during a trio of sold-out dates at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre, a bucket list venue for many musicians.
But even as they've checked off career milestones, Ponthier has felt "discomfort" around gender as far back as middle school. The phrase, "I feel like l'm really bad at being a girl," was a constant refrain for them by
the time they were 12.
"I grew up feeling like I was completely on an island somewhere," they tell Them's @jamesfactora in an exclusive feature interview. "That's why alien
iconography is in my songs a lot because I really just felt like from another planet."
Recently, things have changed. It was befriending trans and nonbinary people - including their fans - that finally gave Ponthier, who says they were "in denial" about being nonbinary, the ability to put words to their
experiences of gender.
At the link in bio, the Texas-born musician discusses the moment that inspired them to come out as nonbinary, how they chose their name, and what it means to be public about their identity amid the current
anti-trans political climate.

ORGANIZATIONS HAS DONE FOR MANY DECADES, UPHOLDING THE PRINCIPLES OF A FREE AND INDEPENDENT PRESS."
