This feels like an indictment of our society: women don't feel safe, so should we work on ending rape culture and patriarchy? Nah, just slap some glitter on the pepper spray so the girlies know it's for them. Found at target of all places. 😮💨

Album: FADER & Friends: Volume 1

https://faderlabel.bandcamp.com/album/fader-friends-volume-1

Why? Today is something a bit different: an anthology cover album for trans rights! The indie label FADER has brought together a bunch of artists, including trans and queer artists I've shared here before, to raise money for the Transgender Law Center, Mermaids UK, and Rainbow Railroad. Buy it on bandcamp to support these organizations!

Where to start?

I mean, if Ezra Furman is doing something, I’m probably going to talk about it. This is probably one of her folksiest tunes, a cover of “12,000 Lines” by Big Thief.

ANNOUNCEMENT:
Launching "How to Gender Euphoria" as a zine!!!

Subscribe at: https://patreon.com/JoscelynTranspiring

So, I've been promising to turn my thread on gender euphoria advice (https://chaosfem.tw/@JoscelynTransient/110226818047150799) into something more. Well, the time has come: announcing the "How to Gender Euphoria" zine!

The goal is to create a zine that I will publish every two months. Each issue will focus on an area or topic of gender euphoria, including practical how-to's, short essays reflecting on gendery things, and even an advice column! Yes, you and anyone else can send in questions about how to pursue your euphoria!

The first several issues will be focused upon gender euphoria for trans fems, but if I get enough support I can help pay for trans masc contributors to join the project and expand to trans masc focused issues. That's the goal anyway. If this goes really well, we may branch out into other topics and areas as well.

Friends, y'all looking at the new Youth Programs Manager for Trans Family Support Services!!!

These are pictures of me jumping up and down with excitement! I get to work to help make trans youth have support and joy in their lives!!! I am crying a little, I'm so excited 😄🥹

Our kitty caught himself a Blahaj 😅😍

It's official: I have acquired blahaj.

My wife and I went to IKEA to get some things for the new house and this was my first time going to IKEA! So...I was required by law to secure everyone's favorite fish...and ended up getting a big one and a small one... because.

Artist: Ezra Furman (she/they)

Album: Twelve Nudes

Why? This if the album I need on my first full day of my new job as a crisis counselor...and it's also a product of Ezra's own transformational healing and finding of her power.

Where to start?
"Thermometer" is an absolute rocker and pumps me up so much. Not to mention, Ezra is giving transcendent, vulnerable beauty.

"Evening Prayer" hits me so hard.

This was my journey. Thought I was being radical in my 20s, but really was just rolling over. There was such a draw to give up. I've seen a lot of my radical friends do just that. But...

"The kids are just getting started
They've only just learned how to howl
...
If you've got the taste for transcendence
That translates your love into action
And participate in the fight now"

This is what I strive to bring as trans auntie 💖
