Heya. I'm Shawn. Since 1993 I've been archiving, documenting, and contextualizing body modification- art, ritual, and culture- particularly where it intersects with the LGBTQ+ community of the 1970s/80s.
It's niche work, despite pretty much everyone having a tattoo or piercing these days.

I went to work today. I laughed with my staff over stupid in-jokes. I ate popcorn. I listened to Belle & Sebastian. My government murdered a citizen.
I don’t know how to reconcile these facts and my heart is broken a little more every day.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.
ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

With most psychedelic drugs, you never know what you're going to get. But this mysterious mushroom from China - without fail - causes users to hallucinate tiny people: crawling up walls, popping out from under furniture and marching under doors. www.bbc.com/future/artic...
'They saw them on their dishes when eating': The mushroom making people hallucinate dozens of tiny humans
Only recently described by science, the mysterious mushrooms are found in different parts of the world, but they give people the same exact visions.

If there's one thing I've learned from being a pornographer, it's that when there's a butt, more people pay attention

A few years ago I drew a butt plug with Kermit eyes names Kramit. He was called “disconcerting in ways I can’t articulate”

Every couple of weeks we get a different description of the apparently awful stench coming off our necrotic president and I think it's high time the media nail down exactly what kind of rotten meat covered in women's perfume he actually smells like.

I logged 370 movies on @letterboxd.social in '25. These are my top 5:
1. The Testament of Ann Lee. Perfectly captures the longing for the divine. Seyfried's career defining role, and Mona Fastvold deserves far more praise than she's likely to get.

One of my dorky NY Resolutions was to watch one movie per week suggested by friends. There are no rules - It can be a first time watch, it can be something I've seen a dozen times... I just want to watch films that people I like like.
