The Reluctant Marcher: Pride 2026

The Reluctant Marcher: Pride 2026

It's Pride weekend in San Francisco, and as a Super Introvert, even the 'small' Trans March (10-20k people, vs. Sunday's million) is a lot. This quick episode is on why showing up still matters even when you feel invisible in the crowd — and why it's worth holding compassion for the people fighting hardest against Pride, too.

Rendered No Longer Alive

After a few weeks of posting silence, DK back — riding in a self-driving car that somehow already knows his taste in music, which is either impressive or creepy, and possibly both. In this episode: the push-pull of creating content in a system that benefits people you didn't vote for, why small acts of random goodness still matter anyway, the Old Dominion ROTC cadets who "rendered a shooter no longer alive," and what collective energy shifts actually look like when they're real. Also: why we're all peasants, and why that's not as hopeless as it sounds.

Don't Take the Bait: A Few Words for Trans Day of Visibility

It's Transgender Day of Visibility, so here are some unscripted, unpolished thoughts on being a "passing" trans person who benefits from male privilege — and why that makes visibility feel important right now. Plus: the division game, why trans people are perennial easy targets, the up-down vs. left-right thing, and why "trans rights are human rights" isn't just a slogan. Also featuring: brown eyes as a metaphor. No notes.

You’re Not Failing — This Is a Time of Transition

January can be a heavy month — and this year feels heavier than usual. Not just personally, but collectively. A lot of people are sensing that something big is shifting, even if no one can quite name what comes next. In this episode of Rainbows in the Dark, I talk about what it’s like to live inside a major transitional time in history — when old systems stop working, the new ones aren’t fully formed yet, and people quietly start blaming themselves for feeling lost or exhausted. If you’ve been feeling confused, disillusioned, anxious, or like the old rules don’t apply anymore, this episode is a reminder that you’re not failing — you’re responding appropriately to a world that’s changing faster than our nervous systems were designed to handle. This is a gentle reframe, a little nervous-system grounding, and an invitation to replace fear with curiosity — without bypassing what’s real. Pause. Breathe. You’re not broken. Keep on keeping on — and keep shining in the dark. 🌈✨

The Naked Truth About Getting Older

On a walk by the ocean, I found myself talking about aging, limits, and the things we stop doing as we get older. And then the universe sent a rebuttal. This episode is about getting older, staying embodied, and the strange freedom that comes from letting go of shame, certainty, and pants. It’s a reflection on mortality, movement, and the moments when life answers you faster than you expect. As always, this is Rainbows in the Dark: noticing what’s real, even when it’s awkward — and sometimes especially then.
