This is an introduction to Hozier playlist for my friend @junemermaid. The categories are a little idiosyncratic, but I think they make sense. I don’t know what music services you have access to, so there are no links. I trust you can figure out how to get access to the songs.

Things I didn’t know I needed words for until I heard these songs

• Foreigner’s God
• Butchered Tongue (an introduction to the song from the Choctaw Theater in Oklahoma)

(additional reading: “A’ghailleann”: On Language-Learning and the Decolonisation of the Mind, by my friend Iona. It is about Gaelic and not having access to the first language you spoke, and how we deal with those sorts of things.)

Wry narration from self-aware narrators

• Jackie and Wilson
• Almost (Sweet Music)
• Nobody

(What I mean is in contrast to something like this from Lord Huron. The narrator’s a fucking idiot but I’m not sure he’s aware of that.)

Horny but not really about sex (but not not either)

• De Selby Part 2 (the video, starring fellow Irishman Domhnall Gleeson, is so pretentious, I love it to bits)
• Talk (the song I’m totally going to make a Hannigram vid to, one of these days I swear)
• NFWMB

Yes he really is Like That, Tumblr was not exaggerating

• In a Week
• Like Real People Do
• In the Woods Somewhere

To be fair, I think he’s gotten away from this a lot more since the debut album. People mean the bog prince nonsense affectionately, but I think they also use it as an excuse to ignore his more political songs. (On the other hand, the oatmeal.)

The way white people should cover songs by Black artists

• Say My Name (more info on why he decided to cover it)
• Problem > Regulate (As a child of the 90s I respect this so much)

The ones I’m really fucking angry about because they’re gorgeous and beautiful and poetic

• Work Song (the second song I would put on any Shepard/Garrus playlist)
• Shrike
• Unknown / Nth (this is an Aziraphale/Crowley song to me; the bridge fucking took me out at the knees the first time I heard it)
• Abstract (Psychopomp) (This song is deeply weird in the best way. It is the perfect early oughts pop song I always wanted from Coldplay but it’s about a formative and somewhat disturbing event in the narrator’s childhood. But also about romantic love somehow?)

Unreal Unearth is, I think, a level up in terms of poetic lyricism.

The prettiest song you will ever hear about domestic violence and is really weird to sing along to live because of that

• Cherry Wine

A disturbingly well-adjusted breakup song

• All Things End

That random EDM song he did a couple years ago that’s actually really good??

• Tell It To My Heart

@hieronymus-bush … although I’m not sure what you’ll think of it 😆

Holy hell. He has amazing technique AND he didn’t just transcribe the piece to piano, he essentially composed classical music (and honestly some neo-classical, lol) based on the melody. Plus, he kind of looks like Freddie.

People in the 1800s would’ve gone apeshit over this in the concert halls

TERRIFYING TAG BOSS

For the unfamiliar, Turnip28 is a tabletop minis game where the story goes that an apocalyptic explosion devastated Europe in 1819, creating a volcanic winter as a vast complex of colossal and strange mutating roots spread across the land. The majority of animal and plant life went extinct, but warped simulacra of them grew from the roots and established an ecosystem rife with cannibalism and breakneck evolution. Magical and bizarre reflections of carrots, potatoes, mushrooms, and the eponymous turnip were discovered, as well as root creatures resembling pigs, elephants, oxen, or terrifying monstrosities unlike anything before. The reason the tags are so wild is it suggests that humans in the setting came from the roots too, and nothing shown so far rules that out.

The Trans Literature Preservation Project: A Practical Guide to Resisting Censorship

Project 2025 wants to criminalize trans literature. Here’s a game plan for keeping our stories alive.

The Transfeminine Review

THIS IS A CALL TO ACTION. Censorship affects all of us, and if Project 2025 gets its way, the entire trans publishing industry is at a significant risk of criminalization. In this article, I lay out the problem and the stakes, and suggest a broad action plan with dozens of potential response ✊

What I cover:

- Citations from P25

- Historical overview of American obscenity law as pertains to trans people

- Assessment of trans censorship in Nazi Germany

- Three core philosophies for resisting fascist censorship

- An action plan broken down by interest group (readers, authors, etc.)

I took absolutely no pleasure writing this article, but I have a lot of research around obscenity law and historical precedents for this that I know nobody else has access to, and getting the information out there is crucial right now 😔

The core thesis of this article - one that echoes much of the other advice that I’ve seen floating around leftist spheres over the past week - is that our best defense against this type of censorship is mass grassroots action. If every person who reads this picked five books they want to preserve and five people they want to share this with, it would have a much broader impact than if a singular group of readers attempts to document and archive the entire corpus.

A centralized preservation effort can do immense work, of course, but it won’t be accessible to the trans people who need to read trans books and see trans joy to survive whatever comes next.
