I'm trying to relax

Look, I'm trying to take things slow this year; that's why I'm slacking off on all my music and why I'm slacking off on buying a new camera. I've spent most of the last few years feeling like I was being hounded for being me, and that's still how it feels. It's tiring to keep on articulating the same few points ad nauseum. - I've got some good books to read, and I've got my book that I want to publish. - As for apologies... well, I feel like they're somewhat hollow unless they're face-to-face. So, let's use that as a springboard for how to redress grievances.

For the drag community: yes, I could probably do drag. No, I'm not really keen. I see myself as a musician that happens to be trans, rather than my transness being a defining feature of my music. I think my films are often queer, but that my postcards gimmick is often more effective than actual musical numbers. My touring plan involves my book and my guitar, so that's a plan for my future that might involve some album sales and book sales + connecting to the audience.
