Titled for Yayoi Kusama, who is the cat's pyjamas.
i hang out with transwomen who make great art. but its hard to track em down these days becuz most of em are fucking dead. oh there are a few making some kind of art. but some of the most hilarious and brilliant shit is on AIDS zines and punk cds that are out of print, becuz those who made it are no longer here to promote it. who led the fight against AIDS for the past 20- years? lesbians. who are at the top of the AIDS demographic? transwomen. so who is fighting hardest for transwomen? lesbians. self appointed! codependents! let the trannies fend for themselves!

Rise Above: A Tribe 8 Documentary (via toesandumbrellas)
I can’t watch this trailer for Rise Above without smiling. Especially the dudes at the end saying they were scared of the dyke band. Very loud and NSFW, btw.
