My friend from Ladies Rock Camp (Boston) and her new band have their first show tonight (starting now) streaming from the Midway Cafe in JP. Pop punk, fun stuff. Check it out if you're looking for a watch:
I read as far as mid-March. How far can you get?
trans crowdfund, boosts needed, abuse/transphobia mention
My friend Rosy is an autistic, gay, trans woman currently living with her physically and emotionally abusive bio family in Ohio.
She's been trying to join her loving wife, Nova, in Cape Town, South Africa for most of 2020, but hasn't been able to due to the pandemic.
The SA government has lifted restrictions, but there are a lot of caveats -- including the need to stay in a low-risk country for 10 days.
Rosy and Nova have gathered some money, but not enough to cover accommodation, and extra flight costs needed to avoid laying over in transphobic regions.
Any donations will go a long way in making a HUGE difference in Rosy and Nova's lives.
Boosts so appreciated!

Please give these people some business and support if you're near Somerville. This is vile.
Hey if you feel like doing a weird good deed, my band Sapling just got nominated for a Boston Music Award for best punk/hardcore. The category feels awkward but we always end up in punk because they don't know what else to do with us hah. If you'd take a minute to vote, it'd be swell. What else do you have going on?
I warned people Trump would turn to this in desperation.
Trans people are going to be targeted, lied about, demeaned, mocked, threatened, and likely some of us will get killed.
