This fantastic film is playing at The Film Forum. I get sick of things being called the first. It’s BETTER, in my opinion, that it’s ANOTHER trans masterpiece. There’s enough trans genius to go around. Who gives a shit about being first? Blah, blah,blah. Regardless, go see it for yourself. It’s the perfect film to see during trans awareness week. 🩵🤍🩷

Trans Awareness Week
We weren’t aware that sign was behind us or that we were being photographed at the Queer Solidarity March yesterday but we aren’t mad at it.
Sending love and solidarity to all my trans siblings from the US to Gaza, Ukraine and throughout the world who are fighting and living bravely despite anti-trans laws, injustice, wreckless patriarchal violence, extremist ideologies, gender essentialism, and genocide.
We always have and always will prevail.

Right now, there’s a lot of pain and fear and grief for so many communities. We all want to feel safe, to feel beloved in our community and welcomed in the world. And right now, that’s just not the case. Not for us as Jews, not for our Muslim friends and family, and not for Palestinians and those who speak up for Palestinian freedom.
We know that we’re most safe when we all stand together, we’re most welcomed when we stand up for the rights of others, and that we feel most cherished when others stand up for us. Which is precisely why higher walls, bigger guns, and more war-mongering can’t and won’t keep us safe. And why it’s so important that we have clarity about what is threatening our communities, and what isn’t.
War mongers try to make it hard, but it’s actually really clear and simple: fighting for Palestinian freedom, against Islamophobia, and against antisemitism are intertwined.
We won’t rest until we’re all safe.

We worked with our partners at the PARCEO resource and education center to offer some explainers for ourselves and our beautiful movement, for how to dismantle antisemitism in this moment while also resisting the intentional and dangerous conflations that harm our intersectional movements for justice and put our communities at risk. Check out the full explainer at the link in our bio.

Icing (Dec 19-21 & Jan 5-7)
Because my mom was diagnosed with terminal cancer three days before Christmas last year I’m doing my annual holiday show a little differently this time. I can’t face working on December 22 so I’m splitting it up and doing three days over the solstice and three days after the arrival of the new year. It’s going to be a celebration of winter, the solstice, and a return to the light I’m calling ICING at @joespub.
I love cake and my favorite part is the icing. One of my favorite phrases is Malgré tout je chante -Despite everything, I SING.
At the beginning of this year after laying my mom to rest I immediately got back to work. My band and I created five new shows: A Julie Valentine/London Calling, Mx Viv’s Birthday Bouquet, What Have You Done For Me Legislately? (our Pride show), Sex With Strangers, and now ICING! I went on the road touring “Only an Octave Apart” with my friend @arcostanzo , and next up @kennymellman and I are preparing a new 7 city @kikiandherb tour which ends in LA December 16th
ICING (Dec 19, 20, 21 & Jan 5, 6, 7) will literally be the frosting on a very tumultuous year.
On January 8th I’m taking a nice long vacation.
This gorgeous photo of Leather and I was taken by the extremely talented @robertlowry at The House of Whimsy for @buffalozine which was guest edited by my darling @catpowerofficial, another person who sings through it all, who I will be cheering on at Carnegie Hall on Valentine’s Day!
Get your tickets to ICING and Kiki & Herb at the link tree in my bio. 🤍❄️🤍

Tonight’s the final night of “Sex With Strangers” at @joespub. I put several shows together each year and I love them all but I’ve been particularly enamored of this one. Curating and performing these powerful songs from the catalogue of the brilliant singer-songwriter @mariannefaithfullofficial has been an incredibly gratifying experience. I could sing them every night of my life and discover something new in the luminous refractions of their glorious language and melodies each time.
I’m in awe of my brilliant band. That my musical Director and arranger @mattraymusic could distill the lush orchestral sounds of MF’s collaboration with Angelo Badalamenti into an exquisite arrangement for a 5 piece band is a testimony to his sensitivity as an artist both sonically and, to me visually, because it’s as if he paints with sound. Then after giving us jazz he can switch it up to turn on a time to punch out the classic punk bravado of “Why’d Ya Do it?” with ease and grace.
Of course that couldn’t happen without the agility of such an incredible group of musicians: Bernice “Boom Boom” Brooks on drums, Nathann Carrera on guitar, Claudia Chopek on violin, and Mike Jackson on guitar and base.
A big THANK YOU to @jepisalla for taking these gorgeous photos of all of us!
Also I should mention my incredibly talented hair doers!

So excited too bring this back with these amazin friends an artists 👊💥
“In September of 2019, with the help of amazing friends, producers and institutions, “The Lion, the Witch and the Cobra” was performed at The Barbican Centre in London, England. I described the evening as “a collective reverberation to these tumultuous times channeled through Sinead O’Connor’s debut album”. I had dreamt of this evening for many years, and the ways in which it came together were brilliant and powerful. As CHRISTEENE, I was joined by a band of incredible musicians and two special guests, my dear friends Peaches and John Grant. Together, we navigated the waters of Sinead’s first album, “The Lion and the Cobra”, not only to address the darkness of the times we were in with ignorant, dangerous, men in power, but to howl in praise of the influence of a woman who, against all odds, beat down the patriarchal system and took on the darkness and lies of the Vatican through her gifts as a phenomenal singer and songwriter.
I always expected this evening to live and breathe only once, and then disappear…however, it continued to find me, as did Sinead’s music and strength during extremely tumultuous times in her life over the past few years.
We are still in dark times, darker than I could have ever foreseen. We are still suffering at the hands of ignorant and dangerous men, and we are now without the physical form of Sinead O’ Connor roaming this earth, howling at its injustices and singing of love and understanding.
There is no better time than now to ignite the flame of this show once again. To call to arms and gather our voices and our physical forms in recognition of the dangers we face as a people, and of a woman who faced those dangers head on.” – CHRISTEENE 👊💥🕊️
