Dear Powers that Be,
This headline made my life. I don’t ask for much, but could you please make this happen? I feel like if this happened a healthy segment of the Bay Area queer community would explode with joy. and I sorta need to see that?

Here we go again. This one goes out to wordsandsteel, who crankily insisted that I re-record this after I fucked up and accidentally deleted a first version of this mix.

for the frothing one. He’s a bleeding wild flower, a sock that would scratch you raw and doesn’t even have a match. He’s...

that reminds me, as an alternative to black bloc at protests, there should be an all-black clad flash mob entering spaces holding boomboxes and doing vogue-heavy choreographed routines to “everybody everybody” and “strike it up.” and then totally occupy the space and/or smash the windows. if they like. fuck black bloc. we doin black box.
