I wish more doctors in Berlin were kind. Being an Ausländerin is already difficult. Having a Chronische Erkrankung is already difficult. Both together are so traumatic. Impatience & cold demeanor only make it all the more traumatic, humiliating, & confusing. I am grateful for access + affordability.
Thanks to everyone who supported my new single on #BandcampFriday yesterday! It's been fun to see your comments about enjoying the song. 😊

It's Bandcamp Friday again, so it's time to remind y'all I have a black/doom/crust project called Fire To The Prisons. Unfortunately, I'm all out of tapes but everything is NYOP for digital & if you wanna support a trans woman's music, that'd be massively appreciated 😊 fire2theprisons.bandcamp.com

I used to swear up & down that I love a hot summer, but I think I actually only love the relentless silica gel packet dryness of central Texas summer heat from 15 years of climate change ago. This ever fluctuating heat-death-of-the-planet wet t-shirt contest of a Berlin summer is not it.
Sometimes I can take to the streets for protests & marches, but often chronic pain keeps me at home, so I find other ways to support the frontline from the sideline. This morning I hand-painted a trans pride flag, & by evening it was flying high over a crowd of marchers. #resist #antifascist #berlin
For 30 years, my No.1 guitar has been my 1996 Squier Strat. I love that guitar so incredibly much. But lately, I am having trouble relating to it. I pick it up & I don't think of Ritchie Blackmore anymore, or feel the awe of when I watched Jeff Beck channel actual divinity through his Strat.
At the CSD Memorial rally on Sunday, a crying stranger hugged me while I cried. He, a big German gay bear. Me, a little American lesbian transsexual. We just held each other. No words exchanged. He gave me a Taschentuch. 💜💔💜
Organizers of Dyke/Pride marches: Sound is not simply loud, it is directional. Thousands of people spead out in all directions cannot hear speeches or musicians. Their voices & songs are going nowhere. Just fucking march.
"Destroy! Destroy! Destroy!" is now available to stream on Tidal, Deezer, Quobuz, Apple Music, & YouTube Music.

An entire festival lineup of trans musicians could not make this much illegible noise.
Kiri@ohheykiri.bsky.social · 2mo ago90 years is apparently not enough time to figure out how to mix the front of house at Berlin Olympia Stadion. The sound is comically atrocious. I hope it gets better for Die Toten Hosen.

Cringe does exist, but it's not your songs, or the way you dress, or the art you make, or the stories you write, or any way that you don't measure up to the impossible standards of capitalism. Cringe is abusers in office, nazis running political campaigns, billionaire sociopaths as role models...
#JustListened In need of some rockin' PostPunk, with excellent lyrics and a sound that will make you feel like you can take on the world in a street fight? Try this EP by @ohheykiri.bsky.social! Damn, this is good stuff! Highly, highly recommended! therapidonset.bandcamp.com/album/destro...

I'm angry about old traumatic experiences & things that can't be communicated with strangers posting memes on the internet, so please channel that rage with me & listen to (maybe buy?) my new EP of noisy, punky, protest music. It's still Pride month in Berlin, a great chance to support #queermusic.

It's not a summer night in Berlin without drunk people fighting in the street, I guess.
Check this out. It has something that's really grabbing me. The perfect combination of acoustic rhythm, melody, & vocal timbre.
Trans Ferdinand || How I Became Invisible@emdashreed.bsky.social · 2mo agosemi-occasional rememberance I have a separate solo music project that only has one official release because the whole point is "live, acoustic, one take, take it or leave it" and anyway I really like it so here emilyandendings.bandcamp.com/album/panic-...
It's such a nice night to have the windows open, except one of my neighbors is cooking something that smells unbelievably delicious. At 1am. They may as well be having a rave for how difficult it makes it to relax. I guess I'm going to sleep hangry. 😒
I redid my entire studio desk to accomodate a larger powered USB docking hub that allows me to have ALL of my storage connected, plus run my interface with no noise, & have 2 external monitors, which, if you know, is a challenge with M series MacBooks. It looks great, sounds great, feels great!
As far as making $$ from streaming goes, Apple Music is pretty good, but ferkin' A, I really hate Apple Music for Artists. The account security is so complicated, so confusing, & so difficult to get help on because, Apple. None of the other streaming platforms make it this hard. 🤬
"Screaming Queens" is an imagined battle anthem for the heroic and pioneering trans women who fought back against police brutality, 3 years before the much more famous Stonewall Riot. Sometimes, we must meet force with force and not be silenced. #transmusic #musiciansky #queermusic #musicvideo
