What are you getting for #BandcampFriday?
Do you dig alternative / lo-fi / shoegaze? Check out M-1 Alternative. They've been a favourite act for over 35 years (though they stopped recording in '92). The guitarist has been slowly remastering their recordings...

For the avoidance of all and any doubt, if you are not in support of the existence, equality and bodily autonomy of trans people, we are not friends, feel free to gfto of my feed, block me or whatever.

Once more preaching to the choir (I hope):
If GC people were really concerned about women's safety and rights, they'd be focusing on this, not persecuting a minority in an effort to scrub them from existence.

Really great that one billionaire bankrolling nuisance lawsuits by cranks can force a restructure of our entire society in order to impose discrimination against a marginalised minority. Real fucking triumph of democracy there.
The Women's Institute has been forced into excluding trans women too
