(Cyber)feminist, non-essentialist transgender and queer daily radio shows using the formula of morning radio as an arch way of thinking about the scripted behaviour and controlled empathy of systematic care.

What does it mean to resist seeking assimilation or inclusion within, or let our demands be co-opted by the very systems we seek to dismantle?
Can we use sound, repetition and difference to personally and collectively engage with space, time and labour?
A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.
