Watch, I'll do it right now:

I, a white trans woman, have privelege over all racialized trans women. All the transmisogyny I face is amplified a thousandfold for them because that transmisogyny intersects with the racism they also face. And I will never be able to truly understand that as they do.

Did the transmisogyny I am subjected to dissapear? Lol, no.

Do I feel a need to invent some bullshit term like "transmisogynblanc" because they have the term "transmisogynior" to describe the specific form of oppression they face at the crossroads of transphobia, misogyny, and racism? Lol, no. I'm not at those crossroads. I'm just at the intersection of misogyny and transphobia. There isn't even an "anti white racism" road to intersect with those other two, it doesn't exist.

Miscellaneous:

Songs to Cry About Dan to

What it says on the tin- a mix of songs I listened to while thinking of Dan and started crying about it. Can’t guarantee results but if you are down for some good cries, be my guest! Shuffle-friendly.

Songs to Fall in Love With Your Muse to

A mix of 80s/90s queer-coded (to me anyway) love songs that remind me of Jacob Lester (pre-Rat) from season 1. I just love some 80s and 90s songs, my dudes. Shuffle-friendly.

Songs to Ominously Warn Your Bandmates With

An assorted mix of garage band-esque tracks. Loosely inspired by the band practice tape from season 3. Shuffle-friendly.

Instrumental Tracks to Contemplate Your Humanity Over

A mix of ambient tracks that made me feel like I was walking through the City or holed up in a bunker in the middle of the woods or performing rituals or- just general ambient A81 energy tracks. Shuffle-friendly.

Dan’s Music Library

I’ve seen a lot of people’s take on what constitutes a ‘hipster’ music taste and I’m a picky mofo so here’s my take on Dan’s music taste based on what he has been stated to listen to in the actual show- it’s awful and I’m sorry not sorry. Shuffle-friendly.

Train Loneliness

This is straight up just a mix of songs about trains/subways. I love train sounds and the sound design in these is super fun. It’s in here because the Train Loneliness tape is my favorite and yes, I do cry about it daily. Shuffle-friendly.

And Everything Turned Out Alright

If you didn’t know, I’m obsessed with post-s3 Dan and Clara being roommates; so this is a little playlist I made inspired by that concept. I hope it makes you as emotional as it does for me. Best played in order.

Press Your Face to Mine

[REDACTED INFORMATION]

You’re Not Too Bad Looking Yourself, Mate

A DanLou playlist cause if no one else is gonna steer the ship, it might as well be me. Shuffle-friendly.

I Don’t Have Much Time

Season three flavored Dan playlist. A lot of instrumental and ambient tracks. Best played in order.

95.6QRSKLB22ROBBRX29900339UOBK2RNJKLSOKV49BQ42069NNNNNNEVIOJR The Wolf

A Left of the Dial playlist. Based on the idea of a weird radio station. Experimental tracks with a healthy helping of metal and a sprinkle of odd picks that just fit to me. Best played in order.

Tea With My Marimo

An ambient/instrumental playlist based off the idea of a post-s2 Caroline recovering and growing plants. Shuffle-friendly. 

Math Rock Roomies

A math rock mix for Dan and Clara, because I think their music connection extends there. Shuffle-friendly.

Aboard the Irons

A watery mix for the Irons ship- mostly ambient/instrumental but a few lyrical tracks thrown into it as well. Shuffle-friendly.

Ritual Radio

A weird mix that contains either instructions or strange items- mostly dream pop or psychedelic tracks. Loosely inspired by tapes from the archives, Michael Waters’ ritual tapes, or radio segments from Left of the Dial. Shuffle-friendly.

Chassis in the Flowerbeds

A atmospheric/ambient playlist based off of Melody and Alexa’s community garden home from season 2. Based around the idea of an eldritch garden that can grow audio-producing objects. Best played in order.

Not Built, Found

A season 2 playlist. Based on the idea of getting a tour of the Outpost and the people that currently occupy it. I reused some bits from previous playlists to help set the scene. Best played in order.

Have you ever tasted blood? Yyyeeessss : )

A bizarre and vaguely horrific Rat mix. Based on a cursed video of Gr*mes that radiated such Rat energy I could not resist making a mix based on it. Shuffle-friendly.

Cycles of Blood and Death and Exploitation

An edgy mix full of sex and violence. Really a thinly veiled excuse to put as much NIN on a playlist as I possibly could. Suggest skipping this one if not an adult or s*x-repulsed. Shuffle-friendly.

Why Did You Date Me?

An aromantic Dan playlist. I stand by this headcanon and I don’t care what anyone else says I know I’m right. Best played in order.

Boombox Fuckboy

A mix that is entirely comprised of titles that contain audio equipment, instruments, and music storage. Shuffle-friendly.

Score One for Films

A movie score mix. I have shit taste in films and I’m giving that trait to Dan. Shuffle-friendly.

Peppermint Mochas and Patch Cords

A modular synthesis mix. It’s just tracks that utilize modules. Shuffle-friendly.

Static Man Just Air Drums Into the Void

A percussive mix. Based on Static Man’s void riffing. Ordered but shuffle-friendly.

The City is Still a Part of Me

A post-s3 playlist where Dan can still pick up radio frequencies. Lot of sample usage. Best played in order.

And They Were Shipmates

A ChrisLou mix because I think the t4t bi lovers deserve a ship playlist. Mostly sailing and ocean-related tracks. Kind of summery as well. Shuffle-friendly.

What Drives You

Another exploration of post-s3 Dan but this time canon-compliant. I had a blast figuring this one out and I recommend giving it a listen to experience what it has to offer. Best played in order.

Scary Numbers and Work Friends

What’s that ? Another Dan playlist ? Pffft what I don’t- this is a Severance (Apple TV) AU playlist where Dan takes on a role similar to Helly. It’s composed primarily of plunderphonics because I love the genre to bits. Best played in order.

Something Beautiful and New

A mix focusing on the City. It’s supposed to convey the sensation of visiting a vast, unknown world with vague familiarity. Mostly trip hop, ambient, and vaporwave, with adjacent genres. Best played in order.

Eldritch Urbex

Another mix focusing on the City. This one is for the residents of it. Wide range of genres. Partner playlist is the one above. Best played in order.

Messenger Devotee

A mix focusing on the Messenger. Mostly plunderphonics, vaporwave, and trip hop. Heavy sample usage. Best played in order.

New Flesh

A mix focusing on Dan’s new flesh and all that it entails. I fully indulged on this when it came to genre / style and tried to focus on good transitions. Best played in order.

I Have Seen A Giant Trying to Eat Herself, and Succeeding

A mix based on Aleister’s house from season 3. Mostly noise and experimental, with a helping of other genres to help with transitions. Best played in order.

I Was Able Able to Subtly Rework Your Ritual to Save Myself

A mix of transition. Transfem Dan themed playlist because I can do what I want forever. Ordered but shuffle-friendly. Recommended to play in order for fullest experience.

Songs From the Archive

"A marriage ending isn't a failure at all. I spent eleven years with her. We were so in love that we couldn't image life apart from each other. We got our own place, adopted a dog, and supported each other through school. I thought if tow people loved each other enough the rest would fall into place, except... love isn't everything.

And I didn't want to believe that, but we were sitting in counseling one day, talking about our future and I realized we were describing two completely different lives. Where we'd live, what kind of life we wanted, what made us happy. And it hit me that- I love this woman and this woman loved me. And after eleven years of loss, grief, career changes, we were so deeply in love... but we weren't aligned. And I kept thinking 'We just need to try harder. We can find some compromise to make this work,' because that's what you're supposed to do when you love someone, right?

But the reality was, we had just become different people. Her trade school took her in one direction, my graduate degree in another and trying to force us back into who we were five years ago wasn't coming from a place of love. It was coming from a place of fear. Fear that, if this ended, it meant we wasted eleven years. But sitting there across from her, I realized: That's not how love works.

Those eleven years happened. They were real. The dog, our home, showing up for each other through grad school and trade school. I wouldn't change a single thing because loving someone doesn't mean you're meant to stay with them forever. And letting go doesn't erase what you had. We measure marriage by whether it lasts forever or not, but what if we measured it by whether it mattered?

What if we measured it by the love we gave, the life we built, and the people we became? Because love's job isn't to last forever, it's to help you become fully completely yourself, and sometimes the most loving thing you can do is give each other permission to be yourselves, separately. But the dog doesn't know were' divorced. He just gets two Christmases now."
