My deepest sympathies to you both.

Screen cap of parodic version of William Blake's "The Tyger" that begins: Tyger! Tyger! Burning bright (Not sure if I spelled that right) What immortal hand or eye Could fashion such a stripy guy? What the hammer that hath hewn it Into such a chonky unit? Did who made the lamb make thee, Or an external franchisee?

In honor of National Poetry Day, the greatest parody rewrite of all time:

That was a pretty good night, peculiar but worth going.

Finally saw the Quay’s latest at Film Forum—all I could have hoped for. Oneiric, poetic, and a gorgeous film to peer into with all its glimmering landscapes, strange depths, and partially clothed bodies swimming in and out of focus.

Just yesterday at Westsider Books I
spotted an old book of Tom Phillips with a chapter on this work. Even though A Humument and AGW have been with me for decades, your post was the first time I’d ever seen After Raphael in full, so the coincidence struck me.

One of the most consequential things Trump is doing. Deserves as much attention as the Epstein mess. But good luck with that. He is changing the policy so that greenhouse gases cannot be regulated and climate change can’t be addressed. Trump is killing the future.

It’s a great bookstore and place
to get a cat fix. The last time I was there, as I browsed the SF shelves the owner told me about running in to “Ted” Sturgeon frequently in the Seventies. I’m so glad it’s survived intact all these decades.

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

Just called my US rep @repdangoldman.bsky.social to ask him to demand the House censure Ogles for this miserable, bigoted, anti-American, fascist attack - and to do everything he can to defend Mamdani and the rest of us. If you agree, please call your own rep asap.

#OTD 1944 – The final page of the comic Krazy Kat is published,
exactly two months after its author George Herriman died.

Every guy with a tragic backstory (in a movie):

Such a gorgeous image. I wonder what street that is.

MOCA published a book of Marjorie Cameron’s art in 2015 to coincide with a show of her work. It sold out and became a very rare book instantly. The Cameron Parsons Foundation has put up a PDF of the whole book for people without deep pockets to enjoy. static1.squarespace.com/static/661db...

Guillaume Apollinaire, L’horloge de demain, 1917

New york! Can we find this beautiful scared girl a home or a foster? All cats deserve a chance to thrive outside of the terrifying shelter environment! Repost if you can! #NewYork #Cats #kittens #AdoptDontShop

They used works by my father, my mother, and me.

My sympathies with what you're going through and I hope Bob recovers quickly. He's a very striking cat!

Grolier Club's traveling exhibit of lost and imaginary books--often funny and very intriguing. The book simulacra in their vitrines have all the presence of dream objects you can hold but can't read (the driver's manual from The Phantom Tollbooth for one). grolierclub.omeka.net/exhibits/sho...

Done, happily!

YAY.
