Death to Rainbow Capitalism
Howdy, cowpokes.
I don't have much to say this week that hasn't been said better by other, smarter folks. (Also, my brain is completely shot from doing layouts and formatting for issue 3 of the Rainbow Rodeo zine! A great problem to have!)
But here are these smarter people:

Podcast Spotlight
Get to know Mya Byrne now, because she is going to become a household name. Her newest album, Rhinestone Tomboy, is out now on Kill Rock Stars Records. KRS is the legendary riot grrl record label, and Rhinestone Tomboy is the first record off its brand new Nashville imprint.
As I wrote in my profile in the Nashville Scene, that's not the only first for this project: the video for "It Don't Fade" features a kiss shared between Mya and her partner, songwriter Swan Real. When the video was broadcast on CMT, it made them the first known transfemme kiss on broadcast TV. When the pair repeated their performance at the Love Rising Concert in Nashville's Bridgestone Arena, they became what is almost certainly the first openly transfemme couple to do so.
