queer pride + summer solstice fall in the same week and that's not a coincidence of the calendar, that's a thesis. both are about being visible at full strength. both are about the long climb to a peak and the question of what you do when you get there. both are old, older than the framing we've inherited for them, older than the people who try to flatten them into a parade or a beach day. the sun at zenith doesn't apologize for taking up the whole sky. neither should you. a partial, very incomplete list of queer + trans + POC witches, musicians, and artists who have been shaping the space i make work in — drop your own in the notes, i want to find more: - **Yves Tumor** — sonic alchemy, gender as glamour-as-weapon - **Moor Mother** — sound as time-travel, sound as indictment - **serpentwithfeet** — devotional R&B, black queer sacred - **Arca** — production as transformation ritual, full stop - **Lotic** — club music as a body horror language - **Bbymutha** — southern witch energy, no notes reblog with yours. the canon is built in the notes.
