It’s been pointed out to me that Rishi Sunak has used We’ve Lost Dancing on an Instagram post.
I just want to say, for the record, I’d rather hear my own death rattle echoing in my ears, as I plunge happily into the void than hear the sound of my voice in an ad for the Tories

European dance music is fine with black American ghetto house music as long as it’s being played by some white European guy called DJ Weeping Urinary Tract Infection who used his college money to move to Berlin.

There is literally someone at Target and the Dodgers looking at a set of numbers and balancing the amount of money they will lose by inviting queers to shop with them against the money they will lose from fascists not shopping with them and that’s all this is.

On Friday, I flew with
@visualosmosis
from Texas to Chicago. As we were boarding, I noticed a woman with no belongings who did not speak English trying to board. Then a white woman in business class told her to go to the back of the line and I took that personally.
BREAKING: Texas emergency management officials chartered a private plane and flew 150 migrants to Chicago Tuesday evening, the first time a private plane has been used by the state to bring migrants to the city from Texas.

There is some dangerous rhetoric floating around in plain sight in dance music right now. I’m telling y’all some of these lads are out here spitting the same language about freaks and perverts as the Proud Boys. It’s not a joke. It’s not a laugh. It’s gonna get someone killed.

What Annie Nightingale did for women in music wouldn’t fit in a book, much less a tweet. She didn’t hold the door open: she was the door. I’m incredibly grateful for her life and to have been one of many people who followed behind and tried to walk in her giant footprints.

I found this video of myself on the news at a rave in the 90s, and it feels like watching a different person. I look like somebody’s kid and I guess I was. You’ve seen a bit of this in the Serotonin Moonbeams video. Fifteen years old! I wish I could talk to that kid now…

Anyways DJ Assault is a sweetheart and I’ve played with him on shows for 20 years. One time he showed up and took my turntables apart while playing and pitched them up with a screwdriver to max the speed out. And the Detroit remains unfuckwithable.

RIP. Paul Reubens has been a minor deity in my family since the 80s. We love him. I used to make nativity scenes with Pee Wee toys and Barbies. When Covid came, I got a Cameo pleading with my parents to stay home and safe. They did what Pee Wee said and we’re all still here. ❤️

It’s hard to communicate to people coming up dance music just how profoundly AIDS devastated our ancestors. There was a whole generation of seminal artists, promoters and dancers that died en masse in a span of a decade or so. Absolutely critical pillars, wiped out with a plague.
Remembering Patrick Cowley (Oct 19, 1950 - Nov 12, 1982) who passed away 41 years ago today from AIDS-related illness. We honor his legacy and preserve his contributions to electronic music that forever changed the dance world.

The absolute cowardice of people sitting on their hands while a genocide happens, knowing damn well what it is. I marched against both gulf wars. People acted like we were crazy anti Americans. But this is crazy. You cannot fight terrorism with genocide. Not in 2001 and not now.

I said all that to say this. Every single person that ICE throws away or tosses at a northern state, without a drop of water or a coat—that is a whole human being. Diana and I were blessed to be where we were. And to see her. She blessed us. And everyone like her is a blessing.

We cannot talk about the real lives of trans people in abstraction. People are not abstract. We are not ideas. When we start to think about other people's real experiences as something to debate, the slope gets very slippery and very dangerous for the people being debated.

It's ok if you don't completely understand the transgender experience. It's ok to say, I don't get this. I need help understanding. If having a trans kid frightens you or makes you feel protective for the kid, it's a great time to go meet someone with a trans kid in real life.

My dad died a couple of years ago during Covid. I handled it well. I read Joan Didion’s manual.
