Don't forget, you can still buy "Literal Hell" - an anti-imperial cut-up noise song - from the "Noise for Artsakh" fundraiser, which raises money for mutual aid for Armenians displaced by the ethnic cleansing for Artsakh by Azerbaijan last year (and this aggression is ongoing). It's organised by my dear friend and comrade Blood of a Pomegranate (Tig Harutyunyan, mix engineer/collaborator on Impossible Light). We managed to raise enough money to help pay for a chicken shed for a family - so this charity is legit and direct, and has a lot of my friends from the queer noise community in so-called "australia" involved. Lyrics + mini-essay are available for free/public on my Patreon.

This is my first publicly-released piece of music, composed, produced, and mastered by myself about two years ago. I have gotten a lot better since then, and plan to release much more music this coming year. Please give me a follow if you like what you hear! Whether you like it or not, please leave me a comment explaining why! I’m an independent artist who is new to the music scene, so I really appreciate your interaction.

thinking about the two (professional) versions of rent that i watched and how one had Angel stay in her normal attire after her death and how the other put her in a suit.

like?? the symbolism of her being buried in a suit, because of course she would've been the 80s/90s were incredibly homophobic no drag queen being buried near a church would've been allowed to be in drag. or her favorite dress/skirt/outfit. she would've been placed in a suit because she's a man and there would be nothing anyone could do about it without potentially outing themselves and being put in danger (even if they are just an ally).

so, if she's buried in a suit no wonder she would appear in the suit as a ghost/angel/whatever she was haha. those are the clothes she's resting in so those are the ones she appears in forever, even if she doesn't like it. it's a reflection of how uncaring the 80s/90s were to queer people going through the AIDS crisis. nobody cared if they died because they were just those fucking queers

on the opposite side of that, appearing in her normal attire would be closer to how people who loved her remember her. they wouldn't remember angel wearing a suit, because that wasn't her preferred attire. that wasn't who she was and despite the rest of the world hating her for merely existing as herself, the ones who loved her and knew her refused to see her in a light she was forceable put in.

it also goes to show how even if they buried her in a suit, taking away her identity, nobody could really change her. angel was herself through and through regardless of how much the world wanted to change her. she died because of her identity but they still couldn't rip it from her dead hands.

anyways thinking about rent. sorry for the ramble-y post i just cannot stop thinking about it lol

It’s weekend… I’m so happy today ❤️😍

In other fun news, a trans woman released a song about her experiences of joy as a woman and everyone is jumping down her throat because it's not a song about the tragic life of being a woman. Like I'm not a woman, but maybe people are allowed to find joy in their experiences of womanhood. Maybe women are allowed to express other emotions other than misery and suffering.

PS the fucking Barbie soundtrack, which was a self-described movie for all women had plenty of songs that had the exact same vibe, Dylan's song is legit just her experiences of trans girl joy.

The more cis people who get angry about it makes me enjoy it even more unironically tbh.
