Joanna Bate

I know it's cliché to say this, but if you're thinking about transitioning, just fucking do it already. You can always stop if you don't like it, but if you wait years and years and then do it and realize it was the best decision you ever made, you'll bitterly regret not having done it sooner.

*slaps roof of apocalypse rig* this bad boy can fit so much sapphic yearning in it

Yeah, that was pretty fuckin’ weird

On a whim I bought a cheap(ish) rear view ticket to Queens of the Stone Age at the SF Symphony and this is my goddamn view. This is gonna be sick!

Thanks! It was Chayna’s 🖤

Joanna is standing in front of a desert background. She is wearing a red dress and an elaborate necklace. She is smiling.

Golden hour in the desert 🌅

I’m gonna throw Long Gone Before Daylight in the ring as well, beautiful late night album

You got me pulling out AAEA for a late night listen

4 frame comic. 1st frame shows a frame from the ai video of trump dumping shit from a plane. Text reads : here's why i think ai art is The quintessential aesthetic of fascism. 2nd frame shows a frame from the trump Gaza ai video. Text reads : Its the closest that oligarchs can get to artists' power to create universes out of thin air. 3rd frame shows ai picture of trump as a pope. Text reads : they see art as a threat because it questions and deciphers the myths, dogmas, lies and illusions that fascism is built upon. 4th frame shows a frame from ai video of mysk dancing with trump. Text reads : ai art being soulless, depthless and uncritical is a feature... not a bug.

The quintessential aesthetic of fascism

Yes on 50! Last day to vote is tomorrow 🗳️

go the fuck outside. find a goth club. go there on a kink / queer night. go even if you think “you won’t fit in” (cheat code: just wear black).

be friendly. give yourself time. repeat as necessary. you will make exceptional friends.

life is for the living. do it scared.

Everywhere was out of fake blood so I made it myself using corn stretch, chocolate syrup, and red food dye, and it’s sticky as fuuuuuck

Happy Halloween y’all 👻🎃💀

i have no idea what the exact deal of the disco elysium guys was, but as an ancom with gender nonsense "are women bourgeois?" is like your older brother who was in the pen for a while giving you a birthday present and it's a 9mm with the serial numbers exquisitely filed off and stippled down

There's a point you get to when transitioning when you're just like, fuck it, I want and deserve everything from life I can get out of it. I'm not merely owed a living, I'm owed joy, decadence, and pleasure in unprecedented quantities, and so is everyone else.

That's why they hate us.

To those who are planning on making a political statement on Halloween with ramen or cup mac n cheese, flyers, ect......don't.

Let the kids have a fun, magical night with as much candy, chocolate, and mild mischief as possible.

That's the demisexual pride flag. Great job, Google.

It was a good party

Explaining to urgent care how I got a needle stick injury was all sorts of fun - I went up and hugged someone, because I was so impressed with the aftercare they were providing to someone else after a needle play scene, forgetting that they still had a row of needles stuck through their chest.

I hate that I still look over when someone calls my deadname in a waiting room

I mean, it was fine, they weren't mad at me about it, but a long session of recounting a serious traumatic event was not what I was expecting at that time of the night.

Anyway, kids, label your drugs.

Pro-tip: if you're at a party and someone tells you their playa name is "Flatline", don't laugh and ask them why

100% (though I did like In Rainbows). In retrospect it should have been obvious that their support of the anti-globalization movement was based on feels rather than an understanding of the power structures that lead to poverty and oppression, so was never going to stand up on issues like Israel.

Never been a sharper drop from “band who was real fucking important to me in high school” to “band who I don’t even listen to anymore” than this one. That’s mostly because of the quality of their music over the last 20 years, but their shitty politics put the last nail in the coffin.

This was like, all my cis girlfriends.

…almost. A few good ones saw me for who I am and are still in my life 💜

And seriously, that guitar tone

At 16 years old the first BRMC album blew my fucking mind

Somehow I did not realize that last night was Black Rebel Motorcycle Club’s final show. Holy shit, so glad I got to see them play one last time.

We made a mistake when we taught sand how to think

BRMC’s guitar tone was way better of course. I don’t care how good your software is, nothing beats a mic’d up tube amp cranked to the max.
