Keep on Livin': A musical exhortation from your Uncle Mir
|
Some days I'm okay. Some days I want to hide under the bed. Many days, I use snark and gallows humor as a kind of lifeline. Spotify gave your Gen X kink educator a musical lifeline today, so I want to share it with you. You can pull up Le Tigre's "Keep On Livin'" here. You don't have to put it on auto-repeat as I'm doing today, but I won't stop you. If you don't know Le Tigre, they were a queer punk band from the Riot Grrl movement of the late 90s and early aughts. In other words, you want to know them. ;) Inspired by Kathleen Hanna's assault, the song is a punk reclamation of everything that gets us through even the darkest times, when: Disproportionate reactions just won't fade
Every dude you see puts you in a rage
Or stupid shit just makes you cry
Your friends are worried you won't tell them why
And then it pushes into all the little things that are worth living for: Look up to the sky, sky, sky Take back your own tonight In closing, a fervent punk prayer from your always and forever Uncle Mir: Just please hold onto your pride and So don't let them bring you down and Don't let them fuck you around 'cause Those are your arms, that is your heart and No, no, they can't tear you apart They can't take it away now This is your time, this is your life and This is your time, this is your life and This is your time, this is your life and This is your time, this is your life and xoxo Mir PS: If you want to know some of the other stuff on my playlist lately, trans artist Lauren Auder recently released a cover of Prince and the Revolution's "I Would Die 4 U," with musical support from original track artists Wendy & Lisa, and I think it's phenomenal. You can check it out here. It might just be my massive crush on Wendy & Lisa, but it gives me chills. Every. Time. |

Hello kinksters - As I write this, I am reviewing all our first-week homework progress for students who have already registered for this year's Diving Deep intensive, and am putting the last touches on our live class for tonight. This will be our third year running this work as an intensive, and it's been life changing for dozens of attendees so far. We have one previous attendee coming back for a reboot in their life since our last work together, and that touches me deeply. If you'd like to...
Hello kinksters - Yesterday, I published the first week of homework for Diving Deep, my six-week online intensive about getting really clear on -- and then manifesting -- our kink, erotic, and relationship desires. This will be our third year running this work as an intensive, and it's been life changing for dozens of attendees so far. I'm truly grateful for this container of work, and I've seen several graduates completely transform their lives inside of kink and beyond with the tools we...
