i’ll spare the details, but a couple of weeks ago, only a couple hundred miles from where i am now, a fellow young enby and oklahoma resident was beaten to death in a bathroom they had been forced to use by bullshit state legislation. there has already been discussion, vigils, and much hateful rhetoric about their killing in the time since. i suppose that as a queer person living in this state i’m obligated to add to this discussion myself


personally i’ve only had one incident with being bullied in high school, when i was presenting as a trans girl, but it’s certainly something i won’t forget. i hope those two boys who slapped my books out of my hand and laughed at me have come to terms with themselves and what they did and changed their character. maybe they haven’t, i don’t know. i do know that, other than this incident, i am incredibly privileged and lucky to not have had to deal with this in my life so far. my immediate family has been very accepting of who i am, and so far nobody has provoked me while i’m presenting. honestly i’m surprised nothing has happened to me. i feel very guilty for having acceptance and peace that so many others like me never could have. there are so many young queer people like me and nex, not just in this state but all over the world, who are forced to deal with shit only because of who we are. even based on my experiences, i still fear that i could be the next casualty in this all-out war against us


but why? the cause of this shit is simply hate, fear of change, and unjust power structures who continue to let this happen. particularly here, there’s rampant religious fundamentalism and people who push it leading others to fear those who do not comply to their beliefs. if not religion, it’s pseudo-intellectual snobbery, treating our identities and experiences as literal diseases to be cured. failing that, it’s simple hatred of anyone who dares challenge the status quo. but most importantly, it’s not just a disparate group of individuals, it’s a widespread attitude pushed by those in power


frankly too many of us have either straight up died or fallen into depression and suicidal ideation because of this hatred, and there has to be something done about it


now, we can write as much legislation and do as much grieving as we want, even though it’ll probably fall on deaf ears particularly here in the red states, but these are only temporary solutions. what has to be done is a widespread and total shift in how us people treat each other. there has to be a total dismantling of implicit and possibly explicit power structures. only then can we as a species find comfort and solace in each other. how exactly we should do that or what it’ll mean in the long run i don’t know. i’ll let people smarter and more experienced than i am figure it out


until then, i say that we should take solace in each other and, for those who can, stand up and fight against those who disapprove of us. whether this is through the polls or on the street, we need to assert ourselves and our identities


by the way, fuck you tom woods. you don’t represent oklahoma. and if you hate me for being who i am, then frankly fuck you too. attitudes identical to yours resulted in an unjust death of a precious soul

anyone remember these two songs of mine? well, if you don't, they were on my profile for a short period of time until i un-published them. honestly, at the time i felt like they weren't getting the attention i wanted and so i took them off


but now i realize that what i did was unfair and impulsive, so i put them back up. sorry


if you want, you can check them out below:

i made a new song as DREADNOUGHT, go check it out here:



with that said, there will be some changes coming:


i keep saying that i'm working on projects and that i won't upload anything until those are done, but... yeah, turns out i'm not good at focusing on them. so, while i slowly work on them, i'll upload songs that may or may not be part of them to keep my account active


thank you!

@leavesz did a new year post so i will too :)


wow, it's 2023! truth be told, last night i didn't do a whole lot (except slam my desk in synchronization with the clocks hitting 00:00 lol). but that's not to say i'm not excited for the new year!


how am i? well, definitely in a way better position than i was last year, that's for sure. i really hope it stays that way, but i'm sure it will. i'll be starting my spring semester of university next week, and that'll be fun! probably easier than my fall semester now that i've had college experience


as for my music? this i really want to improve on. i didn't release anything on my bandcamp, and i only released three songs here this year; i promise i'll do better this year. as part of my new year's resolution, i'm definitely planning on releasing an ep or two and some singles this year, maybe more. i have quite a few ideas in my mind right now, and i just need the time and practice to realize them. however, one problem i had with my music last year was that i really tended to overcomplicate my songwriting process. now that i'm aware of it i want to try to drastically simplify my arrangements and write fewer, better parts. jamuary is here, and for that i'd like to try to put these principles into practice. after all, you have to walk before you can run :)


that's not to say i didn't write any music beyond what i've released last year :) i just haven't fully polished them yet. i actually have like ~five hours worth of unfinished material on my phone from last year. idk what ng's policy is on wips/ids but if you really want them up then let me know


i think that's all! hopefully what i wrote isn't word salad


have a wonderful day and year!
