THis is the story of Frances Carrick, a Chicago transgender woman who was accused of murder in 1923. (The term was about half a century away, but is probably the best to use for her, based on her various comments. And she gave great quotes). (Thread)

So surreal to see Bob Dylan open with โMasters of Warโ while dressed liked noted master of war Emperor Palpatine. If hiding under a hoodie behind a music stand all night was to help him focus, it worked. My Hartford review: open.substack.com/pub/adamchโฆ
