Daniel Sea

A dear friend of mine passed over to the other side recently. Her name was Barbara. I keep thinking how lucky I am to have adventured to magic realms with this gorgeous spirit! I wish we had had more time for sleepovers, singing, journeying in other realms, laughing, talking, cooking for each other, hanging out with her family and grandchild Merlin. Life is precious. The friendship we have still brings me so much joy and laughter, amidst the tears. I wish everyone could be so lucky to know her, those that did understand how precious her sweetness, depth and loyalty were for this earth. I feel her love in my heart as I write ghis. And I wanted to share about her to my friends and community here. Barbara is legendary.

My trans siblings: I adore you! I believe in you. I love you. I am here rooting for you every day. I want to see you surrounded by love from within and from without.

Thanks to you I am here, feeling at home on Earth.
I am lucky to be surrounded by love.
I want to surround each of you with love too.
I am very lucky to be in your company.
I owe you my very life, without you I would literally not be here or be me.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Together we are liberating ourselves from the chains of oppressive forces, and reminding each other of what we are truly made of: Love!
Mother Earth loves us and and is the physical manifestation of the cosmic force, (call Them what you will) who brought us here for the task of shining our special light, to stand up for each other and for all beings, and to work towards the liberation of all beings in all worlds.

This week I am recovering from hip replacement surgery, and I feel so lucky to be cared for by my loved ones!

Here are some photos from my life, which today, thanks to you, is a trans life that is worth living.
I wanted to share a few photos of some of the folks who love me, and respect me, use he/him/Daniel and inspire me to be all of who I am. There are more not pictured here.
I am not sharing photos with all the kids and young adults in my life that I love so much because I respect their right to privacy. But they are a huge part of my life and who I am today. Helping raise kids as an uncle and godparent these past 30+ years has been one of the greatest gifts of my life.

Trans and Q***r liberation means liberation for each one of us. No one is free until we all are free.

The past two years of Israel’s U.S.-funded genocide in Gaza have been met with outrage and dissent from LGBTQ+ communities here and globally making the sentiment clear: there is no pride in genocide. The fight for q***r and trans liberation is the same fight against the war machine that is killing our communities here at home, in Palestine, and across the world.

With the ceasefire in its early stages, war crimes still taking place, accountability of war criminals still unchecked, and divestments still to be made, our work is not finished and so we remain committed to the struggle.

It is our responsibility to continue to push our organizations and institutions to divest from weapons manufacturers and interests that are invested in genocide, settler colonialism and apartheid. By coming out loud and proud in support of Palestinian liberation and against genocide and militarism, we stand on the shoulders of our q***r and trans elders and carry on their tradition of fighting against injustice in all its forms.

Join us in taking action today by speaking up, holding LGBTQ+ organizations accountable, and demanding Congress block the bombs to Israel. Freedom, equality, and justice for our q***r and trans siblings here can only be achieved when we collectively confront the systems that are harming communities everywhere.

Chris Smalls was brutally attacked by Israeli occupation forces while delivering aid to Gaza aboard the Freedom Flotilla ship Handala. The only Black crew member, he was choked, kicked, and surrounded by special police—violence not faced by other detainees.

From Gaza to Atlanta, the system is the same. Cop City, built on stolen Muscogee land, trains U.S. police with Israeli forces through GILEE. Anti-Blackness is global.

We demand justice for Chris—and all who resist empire.

I’m so excited to tell you that I’ll be teaching a visual journaling and visioning for trans/non-binary/q***r folks September 3 in the East Bay of San Francisco at .studio!

The beloved Palestinian journalist was ecstatic knowing that the documentary that she’s starring in was due to premiere in Cannes in May. 24 hours later, she was killed by an occupation airstrike. These are her photos before the genocide.

One thing I know is I feel so lucky to be a trans pansexual q***r punk and I owe my joy and my life to the love of my community and family.
Trans liberation: Free Palestine: Abolition Now : End White Supremacy: End All U.S. Imperialism
May All Beings in All Worlds be happy and free from suffering and may any merit from my life go towards this ultimate aim.
