Nobody Is Safe From the Rumba
This story originally appeared in The Stranger’s 2026 Queer Issue. It’s easy to glamorize the life of a record store owner. Just look at High Fidelity (both the original and the remake). Shooting the shit all day with your similarly music-obsessed friends while you mercilessly judge the tastes of customers—what more could you ask for?

Good morning! Are you hot? I’m hot. But I’m happy to report that we’re more than halfway through this heatwave. It’ll hit 88 today, but tomorrow it’s smooth sailing with a high of 72.

On June 12 and 13, the Seattle Trans and Nonbinary Choral Ensemble (STANCE) hosted a concert at University Congregational Church of Christ in the U District, described as a celebration of Trans joy in hard times, when violence against Trans people is too common. Entitled “What Trans Joy Sounds Like,” the concert’s goal was to remind people of reasons to stay positive in these tumultuous times and not give in to despair.

Hold on to your wigs on the Glamazonian express!
I entered Stop! That! Train! fully aware of what to expect: unfiltered chaos, rhinestones, and an abundance of glitter. This film not only embraces its over-the-top nature — it fully commits to it. It’s a cinematic cavalcade racing down the tracks at full speed, inviting you to join the laughter and fun. The plot? Gloriously ridiculous: a runaway train rockets across the country, with only the most mismatched, over-the-top crew imaginable to save the day. There are double-crosses, mistaken identities, and m
