We’ve never been more PROUD. βœ¨πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ

And PRIDE has never been more important. 🌈✊

With the powers that be pressing in on us, trying to silence us, trying to erase us, trying to end us,

We claim our space. πŸ’œπŸ™

Our moment.

We step into the light.

We dance. We sing. We shine. πŸ’«πŸ€©

We are here.

We are fighting for our lives, our breath.

Fighting for our existence.

We raise our voices.

We raise our songs.

We raise our artists, our poets, our music. πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆπŸŽΆπŸŽΈ

The 🌈 PROUD 🌈 playlist is dedicated to all you dancers out there, all of you hanging on, refusing to let your light be dimmed by the onslaught of hatred, bigotry, and lies. ✨

All q***r artists, icons and allies - all month long. πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆπŸŽΆπŸŽ™οΈπŸ€©

We will overcome.

And the music is our light, our guide, our solace in a time of great tribulation.

You are loved. πŸ’œπŸ™

Profoundly loved.

You are seen.

We are one.

And we SHINE together. πŸ’«

FRIENDS!... We are ECSTATIC to release this new project to you! πŸŽ™οΈπŸ’œπŸŽ§β˜ΊοΈ

The dazzling Alleson Buchanan over at gets in on the fun with us! πŸ€©βœ¨πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆπŸ’—

Here's the scoop:

Alleson Buchanan is a luminary. πŸ’«

A giver of light -

Both literally and in the very essence of her being.

Owner of Radiant Neon, the quirky q***r Seattle and Puget Sound area neon bender and activist is a beacon of hope and truth in a world desperately in need of light:

A creator operating at the intersection of art and collective liberation.

πŸŽ™οΈIn this episode (AND in the accompanying feature on the blog! πŸ’») the q***r Seattle-Sound area Neon Bender and Owner of Radiant Neon sits down with us to discuss her journey as a creator, and the role music plays in her ongoing personal liberation, artistry, and activism. πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆβœŠ

Our beloved friend and "general, all-around weirdo" (her words!) discusses her undying love of musical theater, Sondheim, Hamilton, and the way that theater has been a haven and refuge for q***r kids like herself across generations. Alleson dives deep into her newfound love of Pink Floyd and the influence of liberating psychedelic-era rock music on her gorgeous, semi-biographical solo-show, "The Maiden Crone," how Karen Carpenter is her life-blood, and her little q***r-crush on Betty Who! πŸ₯°

Also, did we mention she's a relative of Waylon Jennings?! Don't miss out on this snarky, beautifully irreverent convo.

🎧 To hear our interview with Alleson in its entirety - including clips of the music and her thoughts on all the songs we’ve highlighted from her story - look up the Ascent Radio Podcast πŸŽ™οΈ wherever you get your podcasts, click the link πŸ”— in our bio to locate the show on your preferred provider, or listen directly in the Ascent Radio app πŸ“± - available for free(!) in both the Apple and Google Play stores.

β€œSisters” -


πŸŽ€πŸŽ΅βœŠπŸ’œ

One time for our baby’s food
And two times for her brother’s shoes
Tough times are a way to prove
That life ain’t nothing but the rent that’s due

Keep your sisters close
You gotta keep your sisters close to ya
Keep your sisters close
You gotta keep your sisters close to ya
Keep your sisters close
You gotta keep your sisters close to ya
Keep your sisters close
You gotta keep your sisters close to ya

I wanna say it loud
For all the ones held down
We gotta change the plan
Come on nasty women
So all the bad girls here
Let’s make that clear
And we’ll say it fast
We’re world wide, world class

Oh keep your sisters close
Yeah, you gotta keep your sisters close to ya
Oh keep your sisters close
You gotta keep your sisters close to ya

One time for our girls at home
Where a no good man keeps ya all alone
When you find loose change put it in your purse
Because your man wants grass
But you need groceries first, hey

Keep your sisters close
You gotta keep your sisters close to ya
Keep your sisters close
You gotta keep your sisters close to ya
Keep your sisters close
You gotta keep your sisters close to ya
Keep your sisters close
You gotta keep your sisters close to ya

I wanna say it loud
For all the ones held down
We gotta change the plan
Come on nasty women
So all the bad girls here
Let’s make that clear
And we’ll say it fast
We’re world wide, world class

One time for our girls at school
Who can’t get ahead no matter what they do
And when they grow up and they try to work
Oh no, but they ain’t nothing but the shorter skirt, hey
Keep your sisters close
You gotta keep your sisters close to ya
Keep your sisters close
You gotta keep your sisters close to ya

Joy is a constant practice- not something you have to "earn"
