Los Angeles Times! See me, more patients and the studio!

So you may have wondered why Habersham's story followed so quickly on the heels of Lucky the Bear's, and the reason is, it was a bit of a teaser.

Over the past few months, I have been interviewed for almost 2 hours by a reporter for the LA Times. Then a photographer came out to the hospital and took photos of me and the hospital and the patients I had at the time (for another two hours!). And then a few weeks ago, another photographer came out to take portraits of the patients I had then. Including one of Habersham. Then, yesterday, September 10, this appeared as the cover of the LA Times Calendar section:

That's Habersham before his surgery. And a wonderful play on Tears for Fears for the title of the story. :-) There's a two page spread inside the paper, and you can read it, and see a lot (if not all) of the photos online here. If the link doesn't work, you can also go to the LA Times and search "toy hospital" in the search box on the site and you should find the article that way too.

Anyway, as you may imagine, I've been doing a bit of a happy dance about the story all weekend. And I really wanted to share it with all of you because a) I thought you might enjoy the article and b) the reporter found me in part because of this blog which you all have chosen to read and follow and like over the years, so you all deserve thanks for the article too!

John Russell at LGBTQ Nation:

Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong says the current moral panic over transgender young people is “f**king close-minded.” The 51-year-old rocker made the comment in a Los Angeles Times profile published earlier this week. Armstrong and bandmates Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool spoke to the paper about the political themes on their upcoming album, Saviors. Armstrong, who is bisexual, described playing with gender in one new track, “Bobby Sox,” a love song about watching TV with his wife of nearly 30 years, Adrienne Nesser. The song includes the lyrics, “Do you wanna be my girlfriend?” [...] Armstrong, who has identified publicly as bisexual since at least 1995, at the height of Green Day’s success, also recalled how a friend was recently brought to tears by the “Bobby Sox” lyrics. “Nowadays it’s more common for kids to be LGBTQ, and there’s more support,” he said. “But for us, back in the day, that was like the beginning of when people were able to openly say things like that.” [...] “I just think they’re f**king close-minded,” Armstrong said. “It’s like people are afraid of their children. Why would you be afraid? Why don’t you let your kid just be the kid that they are?”

Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong recently gave an interview in the LA Times, in which he rightly called the faux moral panic campaign against trans people "fucking close[d]-minded."

Gloria Graves is dug up from her steel tomb, Los Angeles, 1935

19-year-old Gloria Graves has been arrested for violating the city's Marathon ordinance outlawing contests and entertainments involving endurance that might affect participants' health due to locking herself in a steel tomb for the past week at Fifth Street and Vermont Avenue. Gloria's open coffin rests on solid ground with her still inside of it. The inside of her coffin is white with a speaker attached to the inside so she could communicate with outsiders and a light bulb so she could see.
