The Underglow tells the story of the last four years, my divorce, my transition, my move to California. My absolute brokenness from the lowest point of my life, to today, the highest and happiest I’ve ever been. Even though our government tries to define trans people as radical violent extremists and mentally ill, this record tells a different story. It’s the tale of true joy, found only in a life of authenticity. I am happy and The Underglow is here to prove it.

So many people came together to support this album and create it with me. Here’s a list of just a few of its wonderful contributors.

@tommy.nixon my steadfast and endlessly talented producer. He has encouraged me and helped shape my sound since before Mariela was even a glimmer in my eye.

Already looking back at Bellingham and smiling. Thanks so much to everyone who took a chance on a bunch of rando queers from out of town and came to sing and dance and make a memory I’ll cherish for a lifetime. And thanks Martjin for investing in the community with the whole mission of @blueroombham

I matched with this woman on a hinge and one night she sent me a video of her super high and singing Brandy (You’re a Fine Girl). It stuck in my headed weeks later when I was writing.

Playing with @thesaintmisty and @eliselunab last night for the @mcasandiego Avant Garde Ball last night was so special. Grateful for the chance to support the arts in our community, especially at a time when @mayortoddgloria is trying to slash them with his absurd budget proposal.

(How is @tyfoxphoto so freaking good???)

Hey! My name is Mariela and I’m a #trans #indiepop artist. You’re probably wondering how I got here. Well, I grew up in Alabama. We went to church every week, even on vacation. Then I got married when I was 24, like a good Christian kid who couldn’t wait to have you know what.

About 7 years later I realized I was a woman and got divorced, but I kept writing songs. Now I live in San Diego and write songs about transitioning, love and divorce and leaving the church. You’re actually listening to one of those songs right now.

Guarda le Storie di Instagram in Segreto

Il Visualizzatore Storie Instagram è uno strumento facile da usare che ti permette di guardare e salvare le storie, video, foto o IGTV di Instagram in modo segreto. Con questo servizio puoi scaricare contenuti e goderteli offline ogni volta che vuoi. Se trovi qualcosa di interessante su Instagram che vorresti rivedere più tardi o vuoi vedere le storie restando anonimo, il nostro Visualizzatore è perfetto per te. Anonstories offre una soluzione eccellente per mantenere la tua identità nascosta. Instagram ha lanciato per la prima volta la funzionalità Storie nell'agosto 2023, che è stata rapidamente adottata da altre piattaforme per il suo formato coinvolgente e tempestivo. Le storie permettono agli utenti di condividere aggiornamenti rapidi, che siano foto, video o selfie, arricchiti con testo, emoji o filtri, e sono visibili per solo 24 ore. Questo limite di tempo crea un forte coinvolgimento rispetto ai post normali. Oggi, le storie sono uno dei modi più popolari per connettersi e comunicare sui social media. Tuttavia, quando guardi una storia, il creatore può vedere il tuo nome nella loro lista di visualizzatori, il che potrebbe essere un problema per la privacy. E se desiderassi navigare tra le storie senza essere notato? Ecco dove Anonstories diventa utile. Ti consente di guardare contenuti pubblici su Instagram senza rivelare la tua identità. Basta inserire il nome utente del profilo che ti interessa e lo strumento mostrerà le sue ultime storie. Funzionalità del Visualizzatore Anonstories: - Navigazione Anonima: Guarda le storie senza apparire nella lista di visualizzazione. - Nessun Account Necessario: Visualizza contenuti pubblici senza registrarti su Instagram. - Download dei Contenuti: Salva qualsiasi contenuto delle storie direttamente sul tuo dispositivo per un uso offline. - Guarda i Punti Salienti: Accedi ai punti salienti di Instagram, anche oltre la finestra di 24 ore. - Monitoraggio dei Repost: Tieni traccia dei repost o dei livelli di interazione nelle storie per i profili personali. Limitazioni: - Questo strumento funziona solo con account pubblici; gli account privati restano inaccessibili. Vantaggi: - Privacy: Guarda qualsiasi contenuto su Instagram senza essere notato. - Semplice e Facile: Nessuna installazione di app o registrazione richiesta. - Strumenti Esclusivi: Scarica e gestisci contenuti in modi che Instagram non offre.
