It's annoying when people point to political art - Green Day, Rage Against the Machine, George Orwell, etc. - & say, "X years ago, they predicted all of this!"
They predicted nothing. The actual lesson is that the past was never any better than the present. None of this is unprecedented or new.

You know, when you find out that the art you like is made by people you've learned hold views you find wholly repugnant, I don't think you need to disavow ever having enjoyed the art. It's okay to acknowledge you liked or loved that art, but are now putting it aside. That was then, this is now.

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.

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 😊

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.

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.

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.

An entire festival lineup of trans musicians could not make this much illegible noise.
90 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.
