Because people who are transgender have shit figured out a […]

Since today is “Howl at the moon day and night” I share my cover from last year of Werewolves Of London. (New one for this year will be forthcoming soon)

Just watched an excellent animated movie from Japan called “your name.” Teen kids, one in Tokyo and one in a rural town, switch bodies seemingly at random. Really very good! 👍
