Thank you for this thread Ari. It was disappointing to say the least. The people clearly love me enough to know all the lyrics and stand in the rain, but not enough to wear a mask to protect me and others. It was an amazing show with great energy, but also I felt scared and sad.

Kimya Dawson 💩 (@mrskimyadawson) Actually, the next two days people were all masked up and had a great time. The people who don’t care can just skip my shows and we’ll all be happy.

The original “Drag Queen Story Hours” go back thousands of years and were all part of a very ancient mutilation cult that literally worshipped a Black Rock. They’d perform their wild dances in public festivals in order to cajole and entice youths to castrate themselves and bolster their ranks.
