Even in the open-minded LGBTQIA community, there exists the crippling marks of misogyny and white supremacy…one that erases the passion and love that women and POC have devoted to the movement. I work daily to recognize my gratitude in a world where many don’t have the opportunity to saunter through the streets of their home spaces with the ones they love. It is also a reality where so many of our queer ancestors have fallen through the cracks of time and credit has been improperly reassigned. So, to give credit where credit is due… this one is for Marsha.

“Pride exists because of a woman.
Pride exists because of a black woman.
Pride exists because black trans woman.
Pride exists because of a black trans woman who was a sex worker.
Pride exists because of a black, bisexual trans woman who was a sex worker that threw a brick at a cop.
Pride exists because of a black, bisexual trans woman, who was a sex worker, that threw a brick at a cop and started a riot against the state.
Don’t lose this month in rainbow capitalism and unabashed racism because the privilege of being white while queer.
Queerness doesn’t cure white guilt and racism.
If you aren’t supporting the queer people of color, trans woman, and queer sex workers, you aren’t celebrating pride, you are celebrating rainbow capitalism and police brutality.
Marsha P. Johnson gave us this season, make her proud.”

Accordion to my calculations we need about $13,500💰more doll hairs 💸 to press some @tomboiband tunes on vinyl, distribute the album, cover music video costs, and all of the things that have put us in mucho debt. Link to contribute is on my bio or visit igg.me/at/tomboi. If TOMBOi’s music has impacted you in any kind of way, please consider donating. Every little bit helps. If any of y'all wanna pay for the cover song incentive, I will find an accordion to add to the track. 🎶 5 days left. ⏰ #tomboiband #thisistheparty (at Hornski’s Vinyl Lounge)

Haven’t been to a gear swap or ever heard of one in Jax, so we be organizing one. 💥 Shoutout to @captainezchord for donating some sick pedals for @girlsrockjax campers to use this year. Come trade some of your gear that’s collecting dust; donate to @girlsrockjax; or loan to GRJ for the week of camp (July 25-aug. 1). We will have a list of things we need most on a FB page asap, along with directions for the swap. #girlsrock #gearswap #geardrop tag your musician friends or anyone that wants to get started :)
