Stone (formerly Maya) of Floating Room is a known predator in PDX. the following is a partial list of things I -know- they have done, which I share in hopes of keeping our community safe from this person. PLEASE, please block and ignore Stone, and anyone associated with them /1

notice that people who actually live in portland haven't said shit. bc we have to face the consequences of ignorant loudmouths enabling an actual known predator in my scene. please learn discernment when you share your thoughts and leave us tf alone.
in summary, Stone is a massive piece of shit who serially abuses everyone around them. I sincerely hope they get help, but more so I hope they shut the fuck up and leave us all alone. I'm done being nice. stop enabling this fucker. /end
for the last couple months, Stone has been daily abusing adderall, weed, and mushrooms while exaggerating how financially vulnerable they are. their father is a white landlord who they lived with until they were 29. they are not as reliant on social media as other artists. /3
Stone punched a previous partner in the face. this event has witnesses and multiple sources have confirmed. this is but one example of Stone's famous blowups at friends and partners. Stone is particularly fond of calling people "pussies" and degrading them in other ways. /2
Stone has privately attempted to bully artists in Portland into supporting them by threatening them with public humiliation. for a community as vulnerable as musicians, this amounts to holding their livelihoods hostage to satisfy a revenge fantasy. this is exploitative AF. /6
the plan? undercut competing diy bands by telling venues you will sleep in a dumpster and eat beer cans, which will secure your place as a cheap headliner with the most cred in the scene.
now that the word is out, please simply block/ignore/mute anyone promoting further violence on -any- party's behalf. I do not ever wish harm on others, even if they hurt me and those I love. from here on out, I will primarily post goofy stuff about my band and cool gay life.

hatred of Jews, BIPOC, women, trans ppl, disabled ppl, the poor, etc is all intertwined in the fash imagination. just punching n*zis isn't enough. show up and love all the ppl they are trying to wipe out.
Stone was friends with local rapist Edward Beaudin for years, since high school. they were in a few bands together and had contact as recently as 2022. here's a band they were in together in 2015: /5
and how! you'll be blocked and I will never invite you to my shows! bc you supported someone who claimed an evil zionist cabal of jews was controlling their life!!! and called a trans woman a man!!! have fun living with yourself lmao!!!
at this point i am forced to assume that anyone who initially posted that they support maya and hasn’t clarified their position is a virulent antisemite and transmisogynist
speaking of stimulants, Stone uses drugs (among other things) to control partners. their M.O. seems to be quickly pushing boundaries with new partners with drugs and sex, then using that intimacy later to shame and gaslight them. /4
no one is ever obligated to talk to anyone they don't want to. if someone isn't allowed to say "no" to you, that's not a friendship - that's a hostage situation. escalation to hurting yourself to get others to acknowledge you is textbook abuse and manipulation. fuck outta here
just fyi:
• jews are >1% of the global population & 2% of the US
• many hol*caust survivors live in poverty
• white xtians make up the ruling class & are openly pushing us toward theocracy
• antis*mitism is on the rise globally, across political spectra, & we should fight it
AFAB and AMAB were never meant to be identity markers. they are euphemisms meant to soften the difficulty for trans people talking about their childhoods. using them as identities simply recreates bioessentialism and recuperates in-group language never meant for cis ppl.
100%. this is the exact same garbage I saw 10 years ago when men were whining that the only reason women were at hxc shows is bc they wanted to have sex w/ the musicians. I don't trust anyone in a scene who acts like this - it's cop shit for real.
I will be performing tomorrow for the first time as a bassist!!!! thank you to the pdx music community for the support and love 🩷 y'all helped me feel like I could do it!
if I do say anything further about this experience, it will likely be about organizing an accurate timeline of events for community understanding and processing. this was a deeply traumatic 2.5 months that will haunt us all for a long time, I believe.
one of the basic bioessentialist assumptions of transmisogyny is that your genitals determine your capability of abusing, or being abused. this reinforces the idea that trans women are predators - a horrifying lie that covers up the truth of trans women's vulnerability.
there's a kind of cis guy leftist who thinks he's reinvented feminism by obsessively protecting cis women - who he perceives as inherent victims. he believes defending cis women with violence will solve the problems of rape culture, and holds bioessentialist views on abuse.

I was instrumental in the "don't kill yourself" approach, and we were pretty happy with the results. let me know if you have notes for me, cj. cj, please.
being intersex means my failure to fit in has always been visible. some of my earliest memories are people asking me about my genitals, demanding I explain myself. this used to be a great source of shame and isolation. well, I win bitch - I fkn LOVE myself now!! I'm hot af!!!!!!!
reminder: you can just take songs written by shitheads and say they're your songs now.
"oh is that Brand New?"
"why yes, this is a brand new song I just wrote!"
Play Crack The Sky is my song now, the fuck is that loser gonna do about it
it seems that many ancient people had no trouble understanding that your body parts do not make you a woman or a man. gender is holy, irreducible, and mysterious. if one felt called to womanhood, you were a woman. and that was a divine gift, not to be questioned by humans.

has been one of the best weeks of my life 💖 thank you to everyone who made it special. thank you to all the people who support trans people in diy. thank you to Goth House, Chess Co., The Machine, & Frog House. until we meet again! ✈️
love this fake ass amerikanist narrative of the 'rebel hero who goes against the grain' & then ppl see actual change & say, 'yknow what's true revolution? complying w/ authority.'
for Rosh HaShanah, consider listening to fellow Jew & all-around mensch

's latest release, MTV. i know Mo is getting inscribed as hell in that Book of Life for these bops
not only am i a big huge zionist, I also invented covid and the cure for covid and i control the media and everyone's lives in the diy music scene in portland, and all dogs are under my command and also both communism and capitalism, and I'm an unimaginably rich puppetmaster and-
if some loud, annoying, hateful ass pseudo-leftist cop is coming into your community spaces - tell them to sit down and shut the fuck up, or get the fuck out. people like this are nothing but a burden until they learn to QUIETLY do the dishes and take out the goddamn garbage.
