Swipe for a surprise! My cute goddamn belly. Seasonal reminder that your body is your own and it’s possible to be fat and happy. Feeling better about your body does not require discipline or more “fixes”, but it does require awareness and patience and celebration. The amount of times I attempted to lose weight in the name of “self-love” or “for my health” was…every time as an adult 😂 I’m really good at mental gymnastics to make things sound more pleasant than they are, and weight loss disguised as self care was a big one for me. It’s a minefield out there, friends, so stay safe and true to yourself. Shame is rarely the propeller to peace or happiness. Hosting a few neat body posi events this month, including an authentic movement class with @gorgeousgimp, and a Q&A with @thefatdoctor on my patreon. See you there. xoxo
Trans people belong everywhere. In churches and synagogues, in bathrooms, on flights, in libraries, in schools, in sports, in congress, in small towns, on TV, at the lake swimming freely, dancing, laughing, trying clothes on, internationally, intergalactically, forever and ever amen Song: We Belong, starring @julesskloot
Hang in there, baby.
Holy shit I loved this tour so much. @heatherondrums is an absolute wizard and one of my favorite people to be in a van for 12 hours with talking humanity and metronomes, @jennyzigrino made me laugh cry and gave me one of the best tarot readings I’ve ever had, @pay.dirt00 enhanced my merch sales 300% with the worlds cutest face and reminded me to (literally) touch grass. I had the most amazing time onstage with deaf performer @razzledazzlequeen for my Seattle encore (hope I get to work with her again!!), and I stopped by to visit and sing with my 97 year-old grandma Mary (I’m Mary the 4th 😮) in Idaho. I routed this tour myself and gave myself more space and time between shows, since tour can be so rough on the body & spirit sometimes. I made less money than I normally would and did have to do some late night drives, but man, was it worth it. I had so much fun! I asked for and accepted help! I had some of the best conversations! I ate the best pea soup! I just re-fell in love with music and touring on this run. I’m so excited to get back out there and share all of the music I’ve been working on with you! 1: 📸 @smithmediaart at @madame_lous 2: LA soundcheck with @heatherondrums 3: Grandma Mary and me singing “Somewhere over the Rainbow” 4: 10 years as a full band with @tvb.music! 5: Improvising with Heather in San Diego 6: Gorgeous sunsets on this tour 7: @pay.dirt00 being mystery 8: Heather soundchecking 9: @pay.dirt00 and @jennyzigrino being so cute at merch. 10.

Get me out of the trash compactor! I am going to really try and make a change and see if we can do something meaningful somewhere else. It’s time to get into some good trouble. Revive the group chat! Support independent media! Drink water! Keep going! You can do it! Radical love never loses!
Find me here! I’ll be sharing my IG stories here instead. It’s good to try new things, and I’m sick of the broligarchy. There has to be a better way than the way things are!
Heartbroken to hear about the passing of Shelley Brothers, cap hill legend and co-owner of @thewildrosebar. Shelley had the warmest crinkliest smile and made you feel like, wherever you were, wherever you had come from—you made it home. God, this one is tough. Love you, Shelley.
Shaking my cage like I can’t even listen / little bit of something I was hiding / out / but you turn to me / oh, you’re effortlessly / gorgeous & kind in the summer’s last sun / you were brushing my hair / just as the storm begun / you’re like memories / your love is like history / how did you know to find me / in my terrible tower / just digging up soil / for all those lovers / how did you know to love me / with unfixed hands / loving you is easy / hold me close to your chest
My rector @greening.spirit, who is a Shackan First Nation person and Episcopal priest at Trinity Episcopal in Everett, WA brought the house down with her sermon on Sunday. I’m not going to take this administration lying down, you don’t either, ok friends? Protect each other out there.
Going to start uploading some of my production/editing sessions to my patreon! You’ll get sneak peeks of music and be able to hear my brilliant inner dialogue, with gems like these 😂
Live with artist/visionary/total babe @vanessalgerman 💗💗💗
