made it over the hurdle (and restarted my locs)
4 years 6 months and 15 days
anybody who is starting T soon or looking to one day the advice i have is EAT. you’re going through puberty again. your body needs fuel to grow.
minoxidil is your friend.
learn how to groom your new body. your smell is gonna change. the amount and intensity of your sweat is gonna change. the way you feel and react to being dirty will change too. your hair pattern may even change. be prepared to pivot and adapt.
also it’s okay to masturbate. your hormones are gonna be on 10. you don’t have to shame yourself or feel gross for something that’s natural. if you need to then do it. everything will eventually level out and calm down.
hey y’all. i’ve been on t for a year now.

Saving Houston’s LGBTQ history through thousands of hours of radio archives
Tumblr media
1984 Houston Pride Parade 📷 JD Doyle
For years, hundreds of fragile cassette tapes sat quietly aging in a storage locker in Houston, Texas. Each plastic case contained hours of radio shows, made for and by LGBTQ people. The first shows aired in the mid-1970s. They continued, off and on, for more than 30 years -- a period that included the AIDS crisis, the women’s liberation movement and the rise of LGBT civil rights. A pair of archivists, Emily Vinson and Bethany Scott, have been working on preserving the programs, thousands of hours of them, online. … The shows aired on KPFT (90.1), Houston’s Pacifica station. One of them, Wilde ‘n’ Stein (named for Oscar Wilde and Gertrude Stein) started in 1975 and ran through the early 1990s. A late night show, After Hours, ran from 1987 until the early 2000s. … Over the years, the producers and hosts of these radio shows brought their listeners live street coverage of Pride parades, music that celebrated LGBTQ experiences and interviews with city council members, activists, local arts luminaries, and public health officials. Because it was on the radio, often late at night, closeted people could listen quietly and discreetly, without the fear of discovery that printed material might bring. Carl Han, a young Vietnamese-American, listened to the station’s LGBT programming at the lowest possible volume, as he told the radio show After Hours in 1992. “That’s how I discovered the Montrose [LGBT] community,” he said. “At the age of 15, I hit upon KPFT one night and turned it down real low so no one can hear.” He would go on to be a leading local activist, who at the time of the broadcast was the secretary of Asians and Friends, a community group serving Houston’s LGBTQ Asian Americans. Such content came as a revelation to 20-year-old Andrea Hoang. As an undergraduate at the University of Houston, one of her campus jobs was to help digitize and transcribe the shows. Hoang, who identifies as queer, was thrilled to discover the voices of Asian-American activists, including Han and After Hours host Vivian Lee, in broadcasts from before she was born. “They had so many people of color coming onto this show and spearheading these local movements,” she marvels, adding that she also loved learning about the vibrant LGBT music played on the programs so much, she made this Spotify playlist honoring it. The digitization of this audio history, says Vinson, would not be possible without three Houstonians who safeguarded the cassettes for so many years. Judy Reeves co-founded the Gulf Coast Archive and Museum of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender History. JD Doyle maintains an extensive website documenting local LGBT history. Jimmy Carper was a longtime host and producer of After Hours. …

Today, we honor the legendary Whitney Houston on the anniversary of her birth. Born on August 9, 1963, Whitney Houston emerged as one of the greatest voices in music history, enchanting the world with her powerful vocals and timeless hits like "I Will Always Love You", "Greatest Love of All", and "How Will I Know".
Houston's illustrious career was marked by numerous accolades, including six Grammy Awards, 22 American Music Awards, and an astonishing 200 million records sold worldwide. Beyond her musical achievements, she also made her mark in film, most notably in "The Bodyguard", where her performance and soundtrack left an indelible impact on pop culture.
Whitney's life was a tapestry of triumphs and trials, and her journey included her relationships with both men and women. Her bond with Robyn Crawford, a close friend and confidante, has been highlighted in recent years, shedding light on the depth and complexity of her personal life.
As we remember Whitney Houston today, we celebrate not only her extraordinary talent but also her courage to live authentically. Her legacy continues to inspire countless fans around the globe, reminding us of the power of music and the enduring impact of a true icon.
Happy birthday, Whitney Houston. Your voice, your spirit, and your legacy live on. 🌟🎶

During her early hit years, Houston did few interviews. Music industry insiders suggest that Davis limited the media's access to Houston because of the disparity between her white-friendly image and her proudly black manner. It wasn't long before the apparent vacuum of her personal life filled with a persistent rumor—that the diva was a dyke. How did that get started? "Mmmmm," hesitates the usually quick-witted star. "I suppose it comes from knowing people…who are. I don't care who you sleep with. If I'm your friend, I'm your friend. I have friends who are in the community. And I'm sure that in my days of bein' out, hanging with my friends, having nothing but females around me, something's gotta be wrong with that." Push closer to The Question and Houston's playful demeanor vanishes, replaced by the bitterness that's often defined her media profile. "Listen, I took a lot of grief for shit that wasn't me, OK, 'cause I had friends, 'cause I was close to people," she says, eyes blazing and hands waving. "But that ain't me. I know what I am. I'm a mother. I'm a woman. I'm heterosexual. Period. But I love everybody. If I was gay, I would be proud to tell you, 'cause I ain't that kind of girl to say, 'Naw, that ain't me.' The thing that hurt me most was that they tried to pin something on me that I was not. My mother raised me to never, ever be ashamed of what I am. But I'm not a lesbian, darling. I'm not [laughs]." Later, when the interview is over, she introduces me to her assistant, Robyn Crawford, the woman said in the tabloids to be her girlfriend. The introduction suggests these longtime friends have nothing to hide.

The best lesbian artists, singers and writers were the closeted ones unfortunately
not the outgoing tiktok posers and the social justice warriors.
