#Folks on fire

[thefugitivesaint]

Folk On Fire were a Louisville (post) punk band who came out of the 80s alternative/DIY scene and who put this album together while, I believe, they were still High School students. "A diverse group of musicians inspired by punk but in love with funk, FOF played literate, psychedelic dance music once described by Louisville music legend Bryan Hurst as a cross between Talking Heads and They Might Be Giants. Arty but not arty-farty, the band’s experimental side (backwards tapes, 3rd world musical influences) was held in check by a penchant for broad parody and comedic antics (polyester leisurewear, swinging from ceiling ducts). Sadly, this dichotomy would contribute to splitting up the band, with B. Linn and Jones moving on to art school in Chicago while Brunner, Hoagland, and T. Linn formed the intentionally jokey Fancy Pants. FOF gigged heavily for a three-year period - mostly in Louisville, mostly at Tewligan’s – and recorded two well received LPs of original music (“Folks On Fire,” “Under a Hairy Sun”) with the ubiquitous Jeff Carpenter at Real-To-Reel Studios before imploding. A letter from EMI Records requesting tapes from the band arrived too late." (Source)

daemon's tripping balls & rhaenyra's kissing women in his absence. absolutely unhinged behaviour. 10/10 episode. one simply does not care about the plot. rhaenyra's a confirmed girl kisser, that's all that matters here.

I think it's so relatable to see trans women and transfem and generally people who no longer have a testosterone-dominant system describing what it was like to have a testosterone-dominant system. I find that often, when they talk about being angry, depressed, irate, or just irritable, I relate because that was me before I went on testosterone. I was so fucking angry and irate and genuinely unpleasant to exist around because I didn't have testosterone.

See, I think instead of estrogen or testosterone being the "bad, angry" hormone, it's more like... of course trans people who need hormones are going to be unpleasant before getting hormones - both your body and your brain require that you have a certain level of hormone balance. Of course somebody like me was fucking furious all the time, the brain does weird shit when its needs aren't fulfilled!

This isn't about criticizing any one group of trans people, rather, I encourage people to remember that ascribing inherent qualities to certain traits (e.g., saying "estrogen is such a horrible hormone!") isn't necessarily good. It's absolutely fine to talk about personal experiences with pre-transition, I do that all the time! The only issue is bioessentializing hormones, in essence, ascribing inherentness to traits we often share.
