New book day! Needed something to read for my trip to London!
Especially excited for Brigands & Breadknives, I love the Legends & Lattes series so much, and now more so than ever I need something comforting and cosy.
Herculine was a gift from my friend Matthew.

Got some new trans books recently. #samreads. A bunch I've already read and loved enough to grant them some prime real estate on my bookshelf, a few (Sisters of Manchester, Queer Saints II, The Brute & Trans Rites) are new additions :) (+ my little clown opossum from a local queer art con!).

Lux took me out to Queer Lit followed by pre-birthday drinks in the gay village. I had a really fun time. Life has been pretty hard lately, it was good to get away and forget about all the bs for an evening.

This week I have officially begun working on the soundtrack to the new Selene Kapsaski (Spidarlings) feature film The Moon is a Hologram. It's throwing me back to the decade I first entered a recording studio... kinda nice x

In 1959, a young John Waters posted announcements on telephone poles of his Baltimore neighbourhood to advertise his puppet shows. He made as much as $50 a week doing puppet shows.

🏳‍⚧ 100,000 people marched at London Trans+ Pride yesterday - but the BBC, Times, Telegraph & Daily Mail ignored it completely.

These outlets publish dozens of anti-trans stories a week. But when trans people show joy, pride, and solidarity?

🦗 Silence.
