Wa No Wa - s/t LP

A cult work that has been talked about by some music lovers in Japan for many years is now officially available for the first time.

Shocking, ethereal and mysterious sounds

A performance of single-note percussion instruments, “Choir Chime" by twelve users of the Yamato Kogen Taiyo-no-ie, a support facility for the disabled in Yamazoe Village, Nara Prefecture. The fresh and clear tones played randomly, note by note, eventually transformed into beautiful music as they were strung together. I wonder if there is any other music that is so pure and innocent. This work is the ultimate improvised ambient that penetrates deep into the listener's subconscious.

Dreamers Recommend: Crosspoint Waterproof Socks

We Oregonians are very familiar with wet, and nothing quite compares to the waterproof socks from Showers Pass. Although we don’t necessarily recommend that you jump into a stream in just your socks, these have certainly got your toes covered if you do!

Best of all, these socks don’t feel the way you’d expect something with “waterproof” in the title to feel. Instead of slick and crinkly, these socks feel like, well, socks. And their triple layers keep your feet warm and cozy through it all.

This statement was in response to another black trans woman coming onto the Cincinnati trans community Facebook page and expressing concerns over the lack of inclusivity that she’d experienced in the past with trans social/support groups. Said woman was first SWARMED by racist white board members, and then dismissed by the above mentioned black board member for being autistic. When I attempted to lend my voice in support, she said that I wasn’t really trans because I’m nonbinary, that nonbinary is against “the true trans agenda,” that I live my life as a woman because people misgender me with feminine pronouns against my wishes, and then said I was “triggered” when her two hours of horrible, prejudice shit had me broken down in tears.
