I’m super excited to share some new releases with you – “for the girls” by Hayley Kiyoko and “This Hell” by Rina Sawayama.

Let’s put on our dancing shoes & celebrate queer art/artists! <3

Love, DJ Jade

Songs You Should Know – 16GAY

Posted on by Freeform Portland Blog

Curated by St. J0NES

For Pride season I made a compilation of queer artists & songs that turn up.

To me, Pride is worth celebrating when we honor the queens that came before us, when “coming out” meant coming out to the underground masquerade at a time drag was illegal, the millions of people who died from AIDS & the history of ACT UP activism, recognizing BIPOC, & LGBTQAI+ intersectionality, people of different traditions, & family systems that may make visibility more complex, to the queer youth who lose their homes, intersex rights to bodily autonomy, & the resilience of the community that hosts a spirit that keeps on thriving.

It is most important to know Pride began as a retaliation to police brutality, & activists Sylvia Rivera, & Marsha P Johnson were houseless trans-women of color who are largely responsible for the birth of the movement.

I host a show called Matriarch that airs e/o Tues at 6p dedicated to feminist, & queer-centric music. Happy Pride! xo – Shannon Jones [St. J0NES]

Songs You Should Know – 14MHAM

Posted on by Freeform Portland Blog

Curated by St. J0NES

For Mental Health Awareness Month I created a playlist that centers the impact individualism has on mental health. Feeling isolated is a collective experience shared by many voices. The focus of this theme is to encourage more people to check in with their community members, & shed the illusion that any one person is alone. May each song serve to relieve the stigma attached to mental health, & bring attention to the importance of mutual support.

Matriarch hosted by St. J0NES features feminist, & queer-centric music. Airing e/o Tues 6-8p PST | 9-11p EST on FFP
