Sorry for the mess, wasn't expecting visitors.

Heated Rivalry also features a trans actress. In one scene, in one episode, the one where Rose is getting her makeup done on set. The actress’s name is Miss Niki Nikita, her character is not given a name. She is given one line, with only one word: “Same.” Trying to track down the name of this actress requires you to dig through the guts of Google search results, and still the main thing that comes up is a reddit post where someone credits her. (Googling “heated rivalry trans woman” still just returns results on Harrison Browne.)

link wray popularized the modern "power chord" with distortion like the larsen effect in the late 1950s. this 1959 song "comanche" highlights his guitar techniques that played a role in the development of punk and metal.

after death, wray was featured in the 2017 documentary, RUMBLE: the indians who rocked the world. here is an article by one of his biographers if you would like to learn more:

i think the 'transfeminist' space on here is.. unprincipled, for lack of a better word. you will advocate against harassment, against alienation, for the assuming of good faith, etc., but really only for girls who you see as likeable, for girls who are agreeable. you will discuss an element of transmisogyny while being blind to or perpetuating the same pattern in your own spaces.

transfeminism should not be empty words. you are a fucking hypocrite if you consider yourself a part of this movement yet utilize transmisogyny against other transfems.

there is no transfeminism without intersectionality, without principle, without solidarity. humble yourselves. understand your positionality in all of this and where you hold power. stop being a hypocrite and educate yourselves. the amount of racism & ableism left unchecked in these spaces is sickening. put in the fucking work.

The woman who introduced me to transfeminism and who I still hold up many of the transfeminist ideals she taught me, threw me under the bus because when I confronted racism and ableism in our group of transfeminists, she chose white solidarity over commitment to transfeminism.

And shit like this isn’t just happening, it’s COMMON because so many are so desperate for power in a world that takes it from us that they refuse to willingly hold back from using the tools of white supremacy, fascism, empire, against other transfeminists the moment it becomes convenient enough or they hate someone enough.

You have to fucking sit there and actually interrogate your actions and choices as you make them. Yes. This is uncomfortable. Yes, we’re all mentally ill and traumatized. Sometimes we’ll fuck up and lash out or intentionally make choices to harm others, but instead of running from what we have actually done, we MUST be able to take the L and address it when it is brought to us in good faith.
