I do wonder if The Thing that happened to me last weekend is going to be the death of my ability to be attracted to men. It’s not even in the top five Worst Times it’s happened to me but idk how many times it has to happen before my body is just like “time to build an insurmountable phobia”

Hey y'all! I am getting FFS at the end of August and made a GoFundMe to try and help cover part of the costs. If you could share this around or if you are able to donate, I'd greatly appreciate it. ❤️ gofund.me/63fe713c5

So a thing happened when I was out for a run on Monday night, im not going to get into it, you can probably guess what it was. but just wanted to say if you’re in the Seattle area be careful going thru jimi hendrix park at night.

there are, broadly, two categories of transfem musician: someone good someone aggressively mid, and high key problematic in ways a certain brand of white transgirl will take very personally if you mention

Imagine going through 71 years on this earth and leading a life so completely unremarkable the only thing even your closest friends remember about you are the jokes you’d hear from a stranger on the bus.

Another remaster, this one includes media players so you can actually listen to the EP I'm talking about: Anna of the North's 'Girl in a Bottle' contains its emotional terrain in looping beats so catchy it’s easy to forget you're dancing to the end of a relationship. cherry.news/review-girl-...

I wrote this last year but reworked it for the new blog: Alien: Earth does a lot of things I love, it’s stylish, it’s dripping with atmosphere, it gets weird in some fun ways. But it seems either completely unaware of its best ideas, or afraid to with engage them. cherry.news/alien-earth-...

The downside of hurrying to get my newsletter back up and running right as I sort of get fired (again) is the buyer's remorse about the name and domain. It was a placeholder I really liked but now I'm like... what if it was X instead of Y? But I know myself and that was always going to happen.
