Start your free trial of Newsly at https://newsly.me by using the code ‘L1FE’. This week's episode features a poem by trans punk icon and all around amazing person, Kiri Anne Ryan Bereznai. Follow them on Twitter! HUGE thank you to her for the time and energy. This week also features a club scene where I dance in a cage. Finally, this episode contains a segment where I speak a bit about my journey on HRT thus far in poem form, of course. Two original poems from me this week, 'rock to the rhythm', and 'almost a year on estrogen'.
'Rock to the Rhythm' is a song from the album I made back in high school that I recently renamed and retooled on my Bandcamp, 'and i hope you have more luck with this than me'. You can find that here at https://lifeisnt.bandcamp.com/ . Original music during Kiri's poem was all done by Kiri. One of the talking segments this week features an as of yet unreleased new single from laraa - you can find her work here on Spotify at: https://open.spotify.com/artist/0c4V1cMK3sniBFKQupPUcj?si=jQIRkxBTQoWtiyC0ogQTkg&nd=1
As with many of my recent episodes, some sound effects for the show were grabbed from freesound.org. If I have used your sound and you would like credit, please let me know and I will rectify it post haste.
Something went horribly wrong in editing this week and you'll notice there's some odd static and sound at the very end of the episode. I've been dealing with some creep on Twitter lately and I think it might be related. You can find out what I'm talking about on twitter by going to @p_r_o_v_e and by reading their blog at https://count3rfactuals.blogspot.com/ . I'm dealing with this. DON'T ANTAGONIZE THEM. I don't need anyone to fight my battles for me.
