Punk Fag. Be strong, be wrong.

[tsoral]

Alone I sang for the people that I knew,

For my friends and family, and for them I prayed

That no storm would come and sweep them up,

That no winds would bear them away;

I sang, "your voice from my throat cries,

Your heart beats in my chest;

From my head stare your eyes,

For you I live and die.

This loneliness is a lie

This loneliness is a lie."

But you know what they say,

The world wasn't built in a day.

Every trans person is within their right to talk about their own experiences but there is an alarming pattern that goes like

“I have no memories of middle school. All i can recall from high school was my suicide attempt. The day I started HRT is the first day I smiled since childhood….anyway here are my objectively true thoughts on the gender binary.”

Like I do not think this is any sort of theoretical framework so much as it is a trauma response, and while I think folks so damaged by their experiences are owed compassion, I do not think they are owed legitimacy for what is THE most unhealthy projections masquerading as analysis.

I hope everyone in that situation finds space to vent and connect with others, but I will simply not be humoring the conclusion that suffering correlates to trans enlightenment and that anyone who feels differently about their own pasts is not only wrong but a liar sent personally to destroy you.

[cock-holliday]

“Any association with my AGAB is distressing” unfortunate, but sure!

“Anyone who is not distressed by association of their AGAB is wrong/a liar” no

“I was never a boy, I was always a girl.” A fair way to view your life.

“YOU were never a girl, you were always a boy.” Not necessarily true for others

“I didn’t choose to be trans.” Many don’t! Makes sense.

“No one chooses to be trans.” Not true! Many do.

“Here is proof I was ‘always’ a boy.” Getting into slippery territory, but ok.

“Male Brains are—“ im gonna stop you right there.

“I didnt/dont” “for me, I__” “when I___, this happened” ✅

“NO ONE__” “EVERYONE thinks__” “all trans girls__” “everyone AFAB__” “the __ experience” “one or the other” “the opposite gender” “testosterone always__” “estrogen never__” ❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌

bro i LOVE indigenous fusion music i love it when indigenous people take traditional practices and language and apply them in new cool ways i love the slow decay and decolonisation of the modern music industry

[pencildragons]

I WILL !!! I WILL DO THAT

some of my favourite indigenous artists, in no particular order:

Inuit artists:

the jerry cans (esp their album Inuusiq)

beatrice deer

twin flames

Māori artists:

jordyn with a why

Indigenous australian artists:

tilly tjala thomas (i particularly love ngai yurlku nhiina)

kardajala kirridarra (srlsly check out ngajabu (Grandmother's Song))

i've also heard good things abt Baker Boy, but i haven't checked out his stuff yet

[columbidaae]

Another one for Inuit artists is Piqsiq! Two sisters who’ve been doing traditional throat singing since they were kids. They make some really gorgeous, eerie, atmospheric stuff. Highly recommend watching this video of them performing live a cappella using a looping machine, because they might be the coolest people on the planet actually

(Jo March nearly in tears voice) women,,,,

For anyone into North Asian and Central Asian folk music, there's this incredible Siberian folk-pop band called Otyken! The group is mostly women and they're from multiple indigenous groups in Siberia, with songs being sung in their range of different languages. They're so much fun and their music videos are amazing!

[alqemizzy]

i'll go ahead and recommend The Halluci Nation (formerly known as A Tribe Called Red), an EDM group from First Nations Ontario that do really cool fusions of First Nations music with dubstep, moombahton, and hip hop.

[emeraldraccoon478]

I really really really appreciate people who share videos on posts like these, because almost without a doubt every time I love the music but I’ve never got the spoons to click on links and look through a bunch of music or worse google the artist I always end up too overwhelmed to start and I hate that

[morathicain]

Haven't seen Belle Sisoski here yet so here we go: she's the current Artist of Year for BURO impact Awards. She's from Malaysia and knows how to play an insane amount of ethnic instruments and mixes them with her own voice. She does covers and her own songs, mixes ethnic instruments with Techno and shows the process. And she's also a live DJ at 19!

And one of her own:

Oh and of course there's also the HU and Bloodywood for people who like more rock and metal mixed in:

[damnicant-deactivated20250920]

Hope there is a space for a Palestinian artist on this beautiful list!

[queenofsodor]

@dreaminghierophant said dorothy needed a collar in this panel, so i edited one in, for fun

[tsoral]

I'm not sure, but I might prefer this version to the original (heretically?); something about the more straightforwardly emotional take on this one really works (though at the expense of the weird atmosphericness of the original)

[tsoral]

[tsoral]

There's something very almost neurotic about this album in a way that I get, in a way that's rare to feel genuinely

[quintillusesfishtank]

of course the song titled lesbian vvampyres from outer space came out on the same day as homestuck

[tsoral]

Here's the song, for reference; it's genuinely good (very campy), it's been on my playlist since a friend recommended it to me a couple of years ago

Now that all the mainline stuff's back on official platforms, let's hope that one down and two to go comes soon...
