#Blue

With this week's theme there are many many blues songs with blue in their titles.

That said, we're starting with Goatsnake's excellent Black Age Blues...

While it's just after 11AM in my timezone, meaning still 2AM in California, and I'm not sure where @neurothing hangs his hat, I've become terribly anxious to know what this week's #ThursdayFiveList prompt is.

Until then, I'm just digging on #Punjabi goodies from the 90s...

I asked an Indian colleague to recommend late 90s Banghra music because I didn't know what to look for - just that I loved Banghra Dance Party in about '99 on Bay Area TV. She clarified that Banghra is a dance style, and that I want music from Punjab. And she shared six YT playlists and Unforgettable Punjabi Hits of the 90s. She also said that the period was a low point for film, dance, and music, but I'm having a great day with it.

Autistic adults don’t need to be fixed.

We need lives that don’t require constant self-betrayal to "function."

Needs aren't preferences.

Support isn't indulgence.

Dignity isn't optional.

None of this is radical.

It's baseline humanity.

Area made four albums of excellent late-80s #DreamPop that should have been at least Cocteau Twins-sized massive, but as is the way with these things...

#ProjektRecords has posted them to Bandcamp and they're sweet.

"'D. Boon’s spirit is here,' Watt said, haltingly. 'But he ain’t here, because of the hand that got dealt.'"

D. Boon’s Death Shook Punk Rock. 40 Years Later, Minutemen Look Back.

The influential band’s singer and guitarist died at 27, but the bassist Mike Watt and the drummer George Hurley never lost his spirit.

About trans rights:

They're a wedge issue. If you think it's okay to deprive trans people of the right to exist in the public sphere then you're saying human rights are conditional and/or can be withdrawn. Which puts you on a slippery slope to no human rights for anyone.

When you trace the roots of the modern anti-trans movement they boil down to some combination of bigotry and billionaire bullshit— the oligarchs think rights are for the rich.

So: trans-rights are human rights. No exceptions.

it’s trans day of visibility

to every trans person out there, whether you’re out or not, whether you need surgeries or not, whether you need HRT or not, whether you have dysphoria or not

this day is for you too

yes, YOU ARE ENOUGH
