[–] [email protected] 3 points 22 hours ago

no; you've never seen one express genuine love, contentment, joy. it's not because they keep that shit private.

The girl who sang I Was A Teenage Anarchist is pissing off right-wingers? Hell yeah!

Do trans people live rent free in their heads

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Absolutely, plus their outrage at anyone not like them. I'm visiting family, two of which are Trumpets, and they have been upset enough to comment by...

  • Non-white people expressing gratitude to their non-European origin cultures
  • Non-white performers chosen by non-white judges on reality television ("they only chose him because they're both black")
  • People speaking in a language other than English
  • A trans woman in a movie portrayed as a normal person and accepted by their peers without comment
  • A woman not adhering to local societal norms (she wasn't wearing makeup in public! Scandal!)
  • A movie portraying an overweight woman as attractive to a non-overweight man
  • Anyone expressing dismay over the stock market taking a dive, despite no one mentioning Trump

Not Pentecostal I take it.

They're "Jesus is too woke", cross depicting two rifles Christians.

I had a conversation with someone this morning who wishes "all the gays would go back in the closet,” and I asked why, what are they doing that straight people don't do. Their partner "rescued" them talking and the anti-zionists getting arrested and deported, despite their green cards.🤦

My dad’s former caretaker mentioned her when I asked about Bernie’s response to the Pres address. Problem is that he’s a Trump supporter. Well guess who’s going on my music recs :3

[–] [email protected] 51 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Man that Bernie has been going wild lately. One rally after another with huge turnouts and raucous applause every time. Follow his Youtube if you want to catch one of these rallies live. The more subs the better!

[–] [email protected] 42 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

Here is the song they're so triggered by. It's a fucking masterpiece, and I will be sorely disappointed if it doesn't go viral from hate-publicity:

(Sorry about the direct YouTube link; couldn't find a single working Piped instance. What's the MO these days?)

Couldn't find direct footage of the set either (outside of hate propaganda that I won't click on), but if anyone wants to go looking there are some details here (from her Linktree):

Holy shit lmao I was not expecting that. Bernie's a real one for this.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

lol well i guess i kind of understand why they are upset, and i don't think it's about gender

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

It is very much because of gender. If you google 'bernie sanders laura jane grace' you will find nothing but outrage-farming by all the usual culprits. If a cis musician had done this a few bigots might have whined, but the right-wing outrage machine wouldn't have chosen it for their Two Minutes' Hate.

Laura probably knows they're gonna come for her anyway, might as well be aggravating about it. That feels pretty damn punk to me.

P.S. no masters and especially no gods

[–] [email protected] 2 points 22 hours ago

idk i feel like even if a cis white woman (a man would be normally better [for them], but in this case it's automatically ew gei) were to sing "Does your god have a big fat dick? Cause it feels like he’s fucking me" that would not go down well with especially today's emboldened christian right

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That song goes hard. Hard like, oh I don't know, I'm sure there's a fitting analogy.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

But would it fit? Laura asks the real questions.

[–] bitwolf 7 points 1 day ago

Hell yes. We need her music now more than ever

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's baffling that in the 21st century the satanic panic is still a thing.

[–] captain_aggravated 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is it? A lot of the same people are still alive.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Still baffling that they remained impermeable to everything then.

[–] captain_aggravated 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

A lot of the same people have been watching Fox News for 40 years.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Explainable. Baffling nonetheless.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

It appears their god will be mocked after all.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

If one singer riles 'em up this bad, how about a whole fucking show? Right-wing heads would be popping like the end of the first Kingsman movie (and the rainbow smoke makes that even more poetic).

Fuck, it could be flat, out-of-tune bagpipes and if it pissed off maga, I'd play it on repeat. There's a reason they don't invite me back to Anaheim anymore...

Everyone go listen to Transgender Dysphoria Blues, it goes so fucking hard

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

I'll also throw in Black Me Out.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

I will blast True Trans Soul Rebel basically whenever I need something loud to listen to!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

As a cis male, TDB is worth a listen for anybody, shit goes hard

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago

Fuck yeah girl! I love to see it

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 days ago
[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

Best of both worlds

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago

Keep being awesome Bernie!
