I just saw @NELSON post that their album After The Rain came out 35 years ago, so here is me in 1994 (4 years after the album came out) with my sweet Nelson backpack. #nelsontwins #the90s #genx

I just woke up. Also, I love Walton Goggins and I think I just wish all humans would evolve to have such giant smiles. None of the dudebros on love island are actually worthy of any of these women. #loveislandusa #loveisland #teamamayapapaya

I added a link to my linktree to a Diaryland blog post I wrote in 2003, about how I find reality tv therapeutic when the world is in shambles. The mistreatment of the sweetest most real person in the villa is stressing me out though. 😂😭❤️🏝️ #loveislandusa #loveisland #amayapapaya

I met @Jest Commons when we were teenagers and wrote him this song when he turned 25. Today he is 50! If you know him you know that’s an amazing feat. We’ve been roommates and bandmates. And there have been times I have wanted to slap him silly, but he is a longtime member of my messed up struggle bus of a chosen family and I’m proud of how hard he’s been working on recovery and sticking around. Yep. Yep. Big luv. LAFF LOUD. 🐔

Some words from my Aunt Patrice. ❤️ (And if you haven’t watched Patrice: the Movie on Hulu yet get on it) “We need everyone in this fight!! If you haven’t already please call your representatives and tell them Medicaid is a lifeline for millions of disabled people. The pressure we’ve been putting on the House and Senate is working!! Don’t stop now. Keep calling. Make your first call today. Thanks to all of the organizers at the front lines updating us along the way of this confusing process. Use https://aapd.quorum.us/campaign/125225/ and https://go.caringacross.org/a/call-congress-no-medicaid-cuts-budget to send an email to your local House representative and to call Congress. Call your friends, make sure they’ve called too! We have power in numbers. We love you, stay strong!” Video description: Patrice Jetter sits in her apartment wearing a blue tshirt that reads “protect Medicaid”.

Disappointed in ya bruv #loveislandusa #loveisland

2007. Have you heard this anti-capitalist song about corporate pressure to conform (and spend spend spend) that I wrote with Tiny Masters of Today? They were a very political New York brother and sister kid rock band.

Thanks for all the dancing and hugs at Mt. Baker Pride in Seattle yesterday! That was such a sweet event. Thanks Ondrea for inviting me! I really needed to get out of my own head, dig my naked hobbit toes into the grass, and scream my dissent into the wind with you all. Soul replenishing. The clip here cuts off the longer list of people and organizations and genocides we denounced. I’m sure you can imagine. It was the first time in 5 years I hugged strangers. I used to hug everyone at every show. I don’t think I realized how much that part of shows fuels me. For plague reasons I’m not sure I will always do it but I sure did need it yesterday. I love you all always: My gays of all ages. My trans grandkids. My Brown clown posse. And that one guy who looked like he should be on Love Island. I’ve got all your backs. Thanks for having mine. Happy Pride. 🏳️‍🌈❤️🏳️‍⚧️ *if you were the person who asked me to sign your sketchbook with your special pen can you send me a picture of your drawing? *And thanks for standing in the hot sun for hours to get merch. I underestimated how many of you would choose little Pride over big Pride, then saw you all coming in and realized oh right. These peeps are a bit of me. We love community. We are easily overstimulated. So I didn’t bring enough stuff for how many people showed up! I sold out of hats, patches, totes, and crew socks. There are more of all of that available at the merch link in the link tree in my bio.
