Happy Bandcamp Friday! Just released “greymidi musescorecore” made entirely on old versions of Musescore, head over to the link in my bio to listen to it all!

Donating all proceeds from the first month of Bandcamp release to @underdogbookstore in Monrovia! They do so much good for the community in these scary, unprecedented times, I really admire their mission. Definitely check out their resources if you’re in need, or consider donating directly to help them continue to care for and provide resources for those who need it. They have a free mutual aid pop-up this Sunday, Feb 8th 2026! Those happen every 2nd Sunday of the month, partnered with Operation Healthy Hearts.

Another, slightly less silly project is coming this year as well ! Thanks y’all :)

We couldn’t be more in awe of @yandkier aka @ryan_kiernan_music - a recipient of the @wehoarts grant for Transgender, Gender Diverse, Intersex Arts.

Ryan composed and conducted their symphony entitled “Aberrant.” It was a gorgeous evening and such masterpiece of art around gender expression.

If you’re a queer artist or drag queen looking for help funding your project, please get in touch with us! We will help you from start to finish, applying for the grant, executing the project, and making sure you have the support you need!
