Our attention is now our greatest currency & complacency will be our downfall. Fight the urge to put your head in the sand & live in complacency for your comfort. Yesterday in a text to my ex I told him, “If I'm going to focus my rage into positive change, I can't have a clouded & complacent mind.”

Alt text - Some of Pittsburgh's famously rusty rustbelt infrastructure; some metal beams and rivets orange and brown from the rust with an oil pastel looking tag of an upside down bat with its wings wrapped around itself peering over them at the viewer. Below it in all capital letters: DEATH FARTS.

A 🧵about loss: I have cried so much the last 2 days. My aunt passed away early this AM. She was my mom’s youngest sister (there were 5 sisters). When I was born she was only 12 (my mom had me at 17) & I lived w/my grandparents on & off as a kid. As I was growing up she was like my older sister. 1/7
A scanned Polaroid of an early 80’s rural Pennsylvania kitchen. Sitting to the side is an older white man with a beard and a neck brace wearing a flannel shirt. He is looking up at a teenage girl with a grey sweatshirt and shorts with dark shoulder length hair. She is holding up a tiny little me. I am in green overalls and dirty sneakers. I have barrettes in my hair.

Got some bad familial news today. I'm just feeling really lost & untethered right now. I'm so tired from this loss & grief & never ending sadness. I made some low stakes art to soothe my heart/calm my brain; but my gosh can I catch my breathe, please?

A photo of a large red dumpster faded to orange by the sun. On the side a line from the movie Videodrome spray painted in dark green. "Death to Videodrome. Long live the new flesh!"

Happy birthday, my friend. You're missed every day.

Everyone please say hello to "Lil George," a plush Zomb-me version of George Romero I made in the early 2010's sometime.
A photo of a small plush zombie version of George Romero. It has large oversized black glasses, a striped shirt, and a green vest. He is also smoking a little cigarette and has black buttons for eyes. A photo of a small plush zombie version of George Romero.

This is 1% of the population of Springfield. This would be the equivalent of 40,000 showing up in Los Angeles.

The other Beach Boys are feeding the goats. Mike Love, however, is suspicious of the goats. Mikes got some treats in his pockets, which he *could* give the goats, but, because he’s greedy and likes Mike Love far more than he could ever like goats, he’s decided to keep the treats for himself.
The cover of my first pressing (stereo, UK) of Pet Sounds. I have since sold this record. Shocking, I know. It's a classic. It did a lot to change the face of popular music. But it's always been a record I admire rather than love. It's never got its hooks into me like 'Revolver' or 'Rubber Soul' does, and I get much more enjoyment out of later Beach Boys LPs such as 'Holland' and 'Carl And The Passions'. So, being brutal, and honest about my listening habits, I decided it had to go. Hopefully someone else who connects with it in a way I never did is really enjoying it.

Found one of our black lights & got it plugged in. Still looking for another UV reactive print we had hanging in the other house from the movie Midsommar. Now to figure out where to mount the lights. Thinking about covering the ceiling in those stick up stars and planets from my teenage years.
A photo of the corner of a home office with the walls filled with black light brings and posters including a two reproductions of vintage black light posters, a Return of the Living Dead, Star Trek, The Love Witch, and a monster print from @theartofskinner.bsky.social A photo of a doorway and wall with two black light UV prints hanging on it. The top one is a black and orange vintage Halloween print from Craig Horky and the other is an Astral Thor black light Marvel poster.

I have learned that there is an arcade in Chicago that features an animatronic Misfits cover band called THE BISCUITS...and one of their signature songs is "Where Beagles Dare." I'm sorry to anything else on my calendar today, but this is all I'm thinking about.
A photo of THE BISCUITS at Logan Arcade. They're a band of animatronic dogs that have been modified to be especially punk.

We finally got the curtain rod up to hang the big cat tapestry & hung more art up. I love our bedroom so much. It’s such a comforting space. I didn’t know it, but I’ve been thrifting for this house my whole life.
A deep blue bedroom with mismatched tapestries as curtains. The bed is covered with an ochre velvet down comforter and layered in various velvet tapestries including the last supper and deer in a snowy scene. On the wall is a painting of the Starship Enterprise and a lino block print of a Shai-Hulud bursting from the sand on Arrakis. On the bed is a muted calico cat sleeping on a big green sweater. On the ceiling is a white ceiling fan. A deep blue bedroom with mismatched tapestries as curtains. Hanging in each window is a colored glass star shaped lantern On the wall is a velvet painting of the woman reclining on a fur rug holding an apple. The brick fireplace is painted a deep olive green with a brown mantel packed full of tchotchkes and candles. A bedroom painted deep blue. A vintage tall wooden dresser in a warm red/orange stain. On top there is a two Siamese cat lamp that has glowing eyes, a wooden mortar and pestle, incense burners, inlaid abalone jewelry boxes, and a bin of faux flower hair clips. On the wall are two Balinese hand carved wooden masks and above is a Sri Lanken wooden mask. A deep blue bedroom with mismatched tapestries as curtains. The bed is covered with an ochre velvet down comforter and layered in various velvet tapestries including the last supper and deer in a snowy scene. On the wall is huge velvet tapestry of a lion and lioness, on the right is a lenticular image that switches between the Virgin Mary and Jesus and below is a small wooden plaque of Our Lady of Grace. On the left is a vintage framed image of Saint Therese of Lisieux “The Little Flower of Jesus” and a golden mosaic chameleon sculpture. On the bed is a muted calico cat sleeping on a big green sweater behind her are an array of pillows; two medieval looking tapestry pillows with animals and flowers, a woven image of Van Gogh’s Irises, a yellow hand embroidered pillow done by my Dracula husband’s grandmother, and a cat faced pillow illustrated and made into pillows by a local artist.

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.
