moments from a year! i am curious how happy things can seem about folks in social media… and still, all of these pics are full of something precious. i feel lucky to have so much to look back on. i’m trying to count the through line of it all and appreciate all the hard stuff with it. things can be as bad as they are good - i feel connected to all those in my life, especially those who pull each other into their shared experiences, invite them into new ones. sappy sappyyyyyy aren’t these friends radiating??? so many more xoxo’s to give/get. i love you! try and give your money away to people who need it!! (u can be one of those people, too)

taking steps towards my first EP! here is a song from my set on The Why Collective’s miniMIXT Salon at @fiveflies_coffee in October! This one is called “pumpkin:” a song about missing the attention from abusers and feeling gross about it while beautiful friends remind you they are close. i hope y’all get the chance to see the other artists featured on these programs. i am inspired by them! join us in our fundraiser linked in the why collective’s bio! hugs after pumpkin time welcome! big shout out to Ian Sutherland who captured this video!

mini Mixt October 27th @fiveflies_coffee what a beautiful night. i am so proud of The Why Collective - by proud I mean appreciative, impressed, honestly intimidated lol, inspired by, and excited for where these folks are going. I will, hands down, hold this night w me for a long time. Thank you to everyone who shared, who came, and a special/congrats thanks to @bxavatar Alberto for his solo performance debut. it was so felt - y’all have GOT to see him! thank you for bringing my Lulu back with us. Another thanks to Haitem who has been so generous to our collective with his time, space, and kindness. i hope to see y’all at our big MIXT Nov 21st at the Dimenna Center. y’all are in for a big ol’ vulnerable, deeply felt treat. monch monch 📸 cred (wowwwwww amazing): @lamar.erin photo descriptions: 15 pictures all in a warm, brown light. first picture ASL interpreter Alberto in foreground, shoulders hunched signing the “boop” of a rabbits nose to a human body. Performer, Dicky dressed in translucent black clothing, and a black bob wig with big dramatic eyes. A trio of three femme healers, one crouching, two standing addressing the room. An older gentlemen shown in profile with a microphone to his face, he contemplates and decides what words to share next. A tenor standing and singing, wearing all black. A room of people seated, some with their eyes closed, others in conversation, the lighting is dim. Two woman close to the floor in red, flowing dresses, and a guitarist seated with a guitar in hand, the two woman pulling on a long red cloth, tension between them. The dancer arches her back, elongates her neck, while supporting a large bowl full of golden marigolds on her chest, an offering. A figure seated at a piano bench in black with a light pink corset with their back to the camera. A close uo of a healer smiling widely, the light of her face contrasting the darkness behind her. A lone healer kneels on the floor looking at her instrument.

Opening the next “Mmmm mmmmm” Speakeasy Salon is OG Collective Artist: @dickydutton 🧚‍♂️ dicky dutton grew up in georgia. they came to music through church and choir: the common denominator for going anywhere has been people... well, people and animals. dicky is a singer, songwriter, and artist living/working in Philadelphia with their partner and two rabbits. Swipe ➡️ to see a rabbit pic, AND some footage from Dicky’s poetic contribution to the FIRST EVER MIXT-style event, while The Why Collective was still just a little seed in our hearts and minds. (Vexations in Time: co-produced by @hbeeejay and @slavina_zhelezova at @anitaswayart @chashama ) Join us October 27 to hear a cover and the world premiere of new original music: 🎃 “pumpkin is a song that came from finding yourself somewhere in the thicket of everyone’s rules, de-tangling the enmeshment of outside approval, and how lonely it can be when you’ve separated yourself from abusers; how painful it is to acknowledge you crave their connection.” - Dicky Dutton • • • #newmusic #singersongwriter #poet #poetry #vexations #OG #performanceart #opera #Transartist #nonbinaryartist #singer #speakeasynyc Photo credits: Photo 1: @lucialucas.de / @micah__gleason Photo 3: @davidrosslawn Photo 4: @neivy
