The Hard Quartet and Weak Signal at Webster Hall

On Thursday, October 17, 2024, the indie rock supergroup known as The Hard Quartet had their first New York City performance ever at Webster Hall in Manhattan. The band features Stephen Malkmus (whose other band Pavement played the same city sixteen days prior to this show), Matt Sweeney, Emmett Kelly (who played the same stage with Ty Segall earlier this year), and drummer Jim White.

Photos of The Hard Quartet that I created for Bowery Presents’ “The House List” are now available here. Their opening act was Weak Signal and photos of the local trio’s set can be found in this gallery.

alliancetheatre It's been just over a month since we were on the red carpet for the Broadway opening of Maybe Happy Ending and we could not be prouder of the show The New York Times says is "fully imagined, sensitively expanded, and brilliantly executed." Here's a look back at that exciting night featuring Darren Criss, Helen J. Shen, Michael Arden, Neil Patrick Harris, Hue Park, Will Aronson, and our own Alliance celebs.

In this vibrant and affirming comics anthology, 29 trans & nonbinary comic artists share their personal journeys of self-discovery and acceptance.

Featuring the work of Sage Coffey, Kyla Aiko, and Coco Ouwerkerk, The Out Side: Trans & Nonbinary Comics includes 29 creators' tales of self-love and affirmation and detailing their experiences with gender and identity. Originally published as a successful Kickstarter campaign, this expanded edition includes comics by Dana Simpson (bestselling author of Phoebe and Her Unicorn), Aidyn Huynh (Snailords), Wren Chavers, and more.

Equal parts encouraging, comforting, and life-affirming, The Out Side is a love letter to the trans and nonbinary community, designed to inspire anyone who may be struggling with their own identity and to help educate those who seek greater understanding. As artist Julia Kaye writes in the book's introduction: "I’m so glad this book exists.

Patricio Manuel is Making Boxing History

Back in 2018, Patricio Manuel became the first trans boxer to compete professionally in the U.S. Unfortunately, it has remarkably hard for Manuel to get fights since. After 5 years of looking, he’s finally got his next one booked. He’s facing Hien Huynh (1-1) this Saturday (March 18) on the undercard for Rosado-Zurdo.

Samuel Braslow over at ESPN wrote a really great article on Manuel’s life if anyone wants to learn more about him.

can you tell i had a little too much fun with this photoshoot yet

[monstrousproductions]

Looking at the notes it looks like we might have quite similar tastes! I don't really watch TV or films if I can help it so I've got nothing on that front but for books:

The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin; set in a world with one continent, where earthquakes are a fact of life. Society is split into different castes and communities, and the "untouchable" class equivalent are people with the ability to magically control earthquakes. Some CWs apply - it's a heavy, brutal series - so hmu if you need any more info before diving in. But it's absolutely wonderful, and the audiobooks are amazing, read by Robin Miles. I also recommend The City We Became (lighter SF about the city of New York developing avatars of each of its boroughs to fight an external threat) and How Long Til Black Future Month (collection of SFF short stories) by her.

Flux by Jinwoo Chong - another great audiobook, read by David Lee Huynh. A young man obsessed with an outdated TV detective takes on a job at a strange organisation where he doesn't really know what he's doing or why. Really beautiful writing and a fascinating exploration of identity and technology.

When the Angels Left the Old Country by Sacha Lamb - I obsessed about this so much when I first read it, I don't think I'll ever stop recommending it. Riffing on Jewish folklore, it tells the story of an angel and a demon travelling from the Pale of Settlement to America in c.1911 to follow after the young people of their shtetl. Wicked funny, queer and joyful, and Donald Corren's performance in the audiobook is perfectly dry and sharp.

The Heavens by Sandra Newman - a woman in an ideal future timeline dreams about being another woman in Elizabethan/Jacobean England. She realises that the events in her dreams are affecting her waking reality, changing time and bringing that timeline closer and closer to our own. Made me cry (complimentary)

Station Eleven by Emily St John Mandel - rec depends on how up to it you're feeling re. pandemic fiction. Written before COVID but weirdly prescient, it follows a travelling group of actors in a world decimated by a virulent coronavirus outbreak, hopping back and forth in time to bring different characters from past and present and tie them all together.

The Raven Tower by Ann Leckie - a fantasy retelling of Hamlet, clearly inspired by the use of second-person in the Fifth Season. A world where gods are a fact of life, and where gods speak reality into being. One of Leckie's stronger efforts since Ancillary Justice (first of the Imperial Radch series which I loooove), I remember gasping out loud at a particular reveal at the end. Protag is a trans man which is fun, and the audiobook is read by Adjoa Andoh who can do no wrong.

The Traitor Baru Cormorant (I think just called The Traitor in the UK edition) by Seth Dickinson - about a woman in a "fantasy" world (I don't think there's any actual magic??) whose culture is dominated by an expansionist empire and who vows to take the empire down from within. Totally gripping, can't wait to read the rest in the series.

Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susannah Clarke - I saw you'd read Piranesi, and idk if you've read this one yet but I loved it. Set in an alternate Regency England where magic has long been part of British culture, but has all but faded by the time the novel starts. It's a pure brick of a book with nested footnotes and stories within stories, so not for the faint-hearted, but the world is rich and realised and it's brilliantly funny in places. Audiobook is wonderful!

Looking for media recs. Any format. Any genre that isn't romance or erotica.

Australia needs to raise the issue of human rights violations during the visit to Vietnam

Governor-General David Hurley needs to place a high priority on human rights in the program

Australian Governor-General David Hurley will visit Hanoi this week to celebrate the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Australia and Vietnam .

Mr. Hurley should raise serious human rights concerns in public and private meetings with the Vietnamese leadership. One essential thing he needed to do was discuss the situation of more than 160 people being detained for peacefully exercising their basic rights.

Mr. Hurley should call on the Vietnamese government to release all political prisoners, and make a special request for the immediate and unconditional release of 73-year-old Australian citizen Chau Van Kham . along with famous activists such as Tran Huynh Duy Thuc, Tran Anh Kim, Le Thanh Tung, Hoang Duc Binh, Le Dinh Luong, Pham Doan Trang, Pham Chi Dung, Nguyen Tuong Thuy and Can Thi Theu .

Mr. Hurley also needs to call on the Vietnamese government to end restrictions on freedom of movement for human rights defenders and activists. Last year, Human Rights Watch released a detailed report, “ Lock us up at home ,” detailing the many ways the Vietnamese government routinely violates these freedoms.

The Vietnamese government also suppresses religious activities, infringing upon the freedom of religion and belief of independent religious organizations that refuse to follow the government's line. Mr. Hurley should call on the government to allow religious organizations to freely conduct their religious activities without government interference.

By coincidence, Mr. Hurley's visit could be seen as a high-level launch towards the 18th Australia-Vietnam Human Rights Dialogue at the end of April. Human Rights Watch has repeatedly called on the Australian government to use the dialogue to pressure the need for clear, concrete and verifiable indicators to make progress in areas. and impose sanctions on bilateral relations if such violations remain unresolved.

However, it is essential to raise human rights issues in all meetings with the Vietnamese government, not just within the regularly scheduled dialogues .
