And I'll probably rewatch Akira for the hundredth time and possibly even Urotsukidoji.

Nine years ago, Jennifer Finch called on fans to help her process a ton of old film, mostly photos of other musicians, both live shots and candids. I donated money, and about a month later, I got this postcard. I've had it hanging on my wall in my office/studio for years now.

Jennifer's passing yesterday hit pretty hard. I found out while out with friends and didn't say anything to them, but it was necessary to pay proper respects. Jennifer wasn't only a killer bassist, but also a great photographer. She spent decades documenting various music scenes and those photos are precious (pun fully intended).

Her body of work as a photographer serves as a reminder as to why scene documentarians are so important. I've spent years documenting Chattanooga's noise and experimental music scene, and even before that I was documenting sludge and doom metal bands across the southeast. Music scenes deserve to be remembered properly.

Those pictures are little gemstones, important morsels of time that will outlive our physical forms. There are people I've photographed that I'm no longer in touch with, and people who are sadly no longer alive. Memories unfortunately can fade with time, so pictures, videos, audio recordings, interviews - that's what keeps memories for us.

I can't stop you from reading it but if I, as a trans person find out that you read/write HP fic or fanart or whatever, I no longer feel safe around you or that I can trust you. But I'm glad you keep going back to it and talking openly about it and haven't found some other comfort media in the many years since Rowling came out as a bigot. Good for you.

Yes, and the lawsuits are being funded by JK Rowling.

This is a form of backdoor bigotry from both normative facts (there are more straight than gay relationships) and well represented bigoted beliefs (men are superior to women).

[ survey.gendercensus.com ]

The 13th annual international gender census, collecting information about the language we use to refer to ourselves and each other, is now open until 13th August 2026.

It’s short and easy, for most participants it takes 5 minutes or less.

After the survey is closed I’ll process the results and publish a spreadsheet of the data and a report summarising the main findings. Then anyone can use them for academic or business purposes, self-advocacy, tracking the popularity of language over time, and just feeling like we’re part of a huge and diverse community.

If you think you might have friends and followers who’d be interested, please do reblog this blog post, and share the survey URL by email or at AFK social groups or on other social networks. Every share is extremely helpful!

Survey URL: https://survey.gendercensus.com

The survey is open to anyone anywhere who speaks English and feels that the gender binary doesn’t fully describe their experience of themselves and their gender(s) or lack thereof.

Thank you so much!

That was probably the most embarrassing way this fight could have ended!

HHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
