Sistering around. Have I ever mentioned how supportive this sister of mine is of my art? #sistering #femmebuzzcut #coffeethatsreallyicecream #thatsnotcoffee #plutoniclifepartner
I'm feeling so blessed by new friends lately. Finding such sweet connections. Learning how to be loving towards myself allows room for even more giving and receiving of love. Abundance! There has been a lot of loss in my community but a lot of beautiful coming together too. Shadows and light. Light and shadows. Excited for what music comes from this new emotional space. Beyond excited about touring the west coast in June! 📸 @kitchen__waltz
Want to see me play? I'm in the process of booking a June tour of the west coast and I'm really excited to get back to playing every night. I miss it so fucking much! If you have thoughts on where I should play, comment below with the city and the venue(s). . . . This album I released in November keeps tapping me in the shoulder, reminding me to share it with you. It's so deeply personal and also political. Its the most vulnerable art I've ever made. To preform it, I need the right kind of spacr. I'm looking for small, intimate, dedicated music venues. No giant theaters or rock clubs, and no coffee shops. DIY spaces are OK but sound system is a must and listening ears even more necessary. . . #crowdsourcing #tour #touringmusician #queermusic #feministmusic #femaleguitarist #folksinger #nolamusic #westcoasttour #zoeboekbinder #shadowalbum
I've come out a few times in my life: as bi, as gay, as queer, as gender queer... but the scariest was as someone with herpes. But since coming out, a month ago, I've had a lot of really open conversations with people about the stigma around it. At first, when people started bringing it up, I was shocked. I wasn't used to having people know this and certainly not used to it being a part of casual conversation. Now that shock has passed and I'm so grateful that it can be so normal to bring it up. The stigma is absurd. So let's fucking talk about it. Not like it's a big deal but like it is what it is... a very common, not remotely dangerous, very easily managed, shouldn't-be-deal-breaker for any person who has access to information. The original "coming out" post was very impulsive. I didn't think about it for longer than it took me to write it. Not sure I could have done it a different way. I'm grateful for the openness that has followed. . . Having herpes is not traumatizing. The stigma around it is. So let's educate ourselves and each other. . . #herpes #herpesstigma #stigma #stigmafree #herpesawareness #stiawareness
