Troy NY!

prolonged and exhausting

Four LAPD officers on horseback surround a man laying on the ground, trample him, and beat him with their polycarbonate "saber" batons.

How could it even be remotely possible to look at the fight for every right, every celebrated societal advancement, every historic moment of bravery and strength and not see that the police are invariably on the wrong side? Every single time things have got better, cops fought to make them worse.

(for a far superior examination of fetishistic grief reactions involving identical siblings, voyeuristic decomp documentation and horny amputees, see Greenaway’s A Zed and Two Naughts, fwiw)

Sadly, The Shrouds is not a good movie. But it did give me the gift of one of my new favorite lines of dialog: “Fuck you Maury! You’re a paranoid schizophrenic and you wrecked my cemetery!”

Nazi youth outside the Institute of Sexology.

On this day in 1933, just 3 months after Hitler had taken power, the Institute of Sexology in Berlin was occupied by Nazi youth.
The Institute was a world leader in studying gender and sexuality and its founder, Magnus Hirschfeld, a leading advocate for gay, lesbian and trans rights.

Charcoa drawing tattoo flash of a mostly faceless person with a 1930s style up do and two eyes on one side of their face smoking a cigarette and wearing a tie

Would love to tattoo this one. The larger the better, but at least 6” high. Perfect for a bicep, thigh or wherever you’ve got a nice big gap. 350-650 depending on size and placement. Drop me a line at CMHTATTOOER@gmail.com if she’s for you!

I don’t know who needs to hear this but I found out recently that there are lots and lots of archived episodes of Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell from the mid 90s free for the streaming on the internet archive. If casual reaponses to ludicrous statements is your kink

Hell yes! Thank you!

every gender transition is a statement in favor of human possibility and freedom and i’m tired of hearing it talked about like it’s some kind of disease

All of this on a weekday we’re in complete awe of you. You always rise to every call to action. You’re amazing, and words can’t express how much we love and appreciate you all.

To be fair, depending on who you are, it’s possible parts of the album may also sound like they’re supposed to fill you with terror but don’t trip it’s the good kind.

Just for the sake of pointing out something good while seemingly everything is tailor made to fill us with abject terror and grief, I’m here to tell you that the new Demdike Stare album with Kristen Pilon is so good. It’s just so, so good. @boomkat.com back me up on this.

A nighttime illustration depicts a towering monument made entirely of human skulls, surrounded by a low fence also adorned with skulls. The base of the monument bears the inscription: “In memory of the victims who were crushed under capitalism.” Two elderly figures stand nearby, mourning. In the background, a crescent moon illuminates a somber sky filled with clouds and birds. Below the image is a caption that reads: “Monument of Skulls.—When the battle between Capital and Labor is over, such a gruesome monument will be a suitable memorial. Two old survivors have come to shed a few more tears in memory of the cruel age of competition.”

Illustration by Paul Krafft for the reverend William Schuler Harris’ Capital and Labor (1907), a treatise on the exploitation of workers by capitalism and the potential solutions in socialism. More here: publicdomainreview.org/collection/c... #mayday

A small painting on panel of a dead fly on the cover of an open match book, in front of a white wall, held by a hand in front of a wall

One of my favorite small panel paintings from the previous Chicago exhibition. This and a handful of others from that show are still available, as it turns out. Would love to re-home them, as I’m holed-up in the studio this month being my own exploited & unpaid intern working for exposure.

When we renovated our bathroom we actually specifically modeled it after The Devils
