On set of The Moon is a Hologram!
We had a Pink Cadillac!!!
A photograph of a bookshelf. The books in it are A Quiet Universe, A Sea of Silence and A Mask for the Sun by Kay F. Atkinson, (kimmy) by Alyson Greaves, Sisters of Manchester by Selene Kapsaski and Jeff O'Brien, The Book of Queer Saints Volume II edited by Mae Murray, MAEJ by Dale Stromberg, A Rotten Girl by J. Ursula Topaz, The Brute of Greengrave by Jemma Topaz, Rotgut by H.S. Wolfe and Trans Rites: An Anthology of Genderfucked Horror. Beside the books stands a crochet opossum in trans pride flag colors, wearing a little top hat and a jester collar.
Got some new trans books recently. #samreads. A bunch I've already read and loved enough to grant them some prime real estate on my bookshelf, a few (Sisters of Manchester, Queer Saints II, The Brute & Trans Rites) are new additions :) (+ my little clown opossum from a local queer art con!).

This week I have officially begun working on the soundtrack to the new Selene Kapsaski (Spidarlings) feature film The Moon is a Hologram. It's throwing me back to the decade I first entered a recording studio... kinda nice x

Trans people are scared, we are tired, we are angry. Will you fight for us? Will you guarantee us dignity, safety, healthcare and basic human rights?
Or will you betray us just like Labour did?
