Went and saw this last night. Highly recommended when it opens this weekend.
A VHS clamshell case for Jane Schoebrun’s new movie, “Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma.” The front of the tape has the logo in red on a grey background, with bold font and the words “Camp Miasma” in a splashy hand-drawn font reminiscent of early slasher movies. Above that, the stars of the film (Gillian Anderson and Hannah Einbinder) walk towards us, both covered in blood.

Putting “Hard Target” on while I work was a good choice today.
In the background, a ramshackle building explodes into fiery chaos, spraying wooden debris and embers everywhere. In the foreground, a horse races toward us: majestic, powerful, a deep chestnut with white markings running between the eyes down the nose. On that horse’s back rides a figure of pure regal domination, a full white pushbroom moustache failing to cover his wide-open screaming mouth, his balding head reflecting the orange of the flames behind him, holding aloft a bow, his quiver of arrows on his back. This is Wilford Brimley.

Our cat, Weasel. She is asleep, curled up, exposing her belly and pink pawpads. She is a brilliant orange against a deep purple blanket. She looks extremely cozy.

NEW SHORTS WHO DIS
This is a picture of me, poolside, wearing my first pair of bodybuilding shorts (given to me by A Friend). The shorts are leopard-spotted, and come up to cover my navel. My arms are raised and I’m flexing my biceps, like a real tough guy. It turns out that bodybuilding shorts do a great job at concealing one’s gut.

Practicing my “rizzed-up selfies” as an almost fifty year old man. Maybe I’ll get the hang of it in another decade or so.
A “rizzed-up selfie” of yours truly. Beard a little too skraggly. Glasses a little too low. One eyebrow cocked a little too confidently. Smirk not quite smiley enough. Tugging down the collar of my black t-shirt in an unearned gesture of lackluster machismo. Fuck it, I’m still cute

Boy howdy, do I, a trans woman, have some thoughts about how the gender revolution put a lot more emphasis on letting girls do boy stuff, and almost none on letting boys do girl stuff, which if anything reinforced the idea that girl stuff is inferior if not shameful.

Hey, neat! It's Amazing Spider-Man 5, from 1963! It's the first time Spidey and Dr. Doom interacted! This was hiding in the corner of a lot I won for a truly cute amount on the internets. Probably the best score I will ever find.
The Amazing Spider-Man number 5! Spidey swings his way across the cover, but Doom has severed his web! He's about to land in some... lava or something!

Here is another picture of my cat, Weasel, to help your timeline be not all doomscrolling horrors
Weasel, sleeping atop a brown-and-white quilt. She looks a bit like a bright orange stripey cinnamon bun. Her eyes are closed in contentment. If this picture had audio, you could hear her snoring a little bit.

Hey, neat! It's the rare British edition of Forbidden Worlds 73, the first appearance of Herbie Popnecker! Herbie is a magnificent little guy, and Alan Moore has said that Herbie is his favorite superhero.
The cover of a comic book. It says it's Forbidden Worlds 4, but it's a British Reprint of Forbidden Worlds 73, from American Comics Group, published in 1958. The cover features a fella in WWII pilot clothes who has scrambled up the mast of a ship. He is being chased by a pirate (in full regalia, eyepatch,  bandanna and all) waving a lit torch. 
There's a caption box that reads:
"Can a man crash through the barrier of TIME itself? See it happen, in...
The RIDDLE of ROBERT O'MALLEY!"
The guy in the mast, presumably Robert O'Malley himself, has a word balloon coming from his mouth. It reads:
"This-- CAN'T be! Shot down by J*p Zeros-- and now trapped aboard an ANCIENT PIRATE SHIP!"The first page of the first Herbie story. Because it's the British edition, it's in black and white instead of color. There are three panels. The first one takes up the top third of the page, and it features a shlubby little boy with a bowl cut, wearing a button-down white shirt and a short tie, and what looks like jeans or khakis with a belt. He walks calmly toward the viewer, eating a lollipop. He is surrounded by exciting things! A rocket launches at him. A Native American in full headdress waves a tomahawk at him. An explosion explodes in the background. An elephant charges at him. Two dueling dandies fence behind him. A plane crashes! A cowboy with a smoking gun rides a horse at him! A pirate waves a cutlass and leers!
Second panel, takes up half of the bottom third of the page. A man in a suit stands before a group of people. Caption reads:
It was a PTA meeting, and the speaker's subject was an important one--
The guy has a word balloon. It reads:
"Yes, I repeat-- the boys of today are the leaders of tomorrow!"
Third panel, taking up the last bit. Closeup on the fellow, as he points directly at the viewer. He is holding a glass of water and he looks kind of like a baffled Salvador Dali. Word balloon:
"You must see, therefore, that what we need in this country are REAL boys-- boys of ACTION! Boys who are always out DOING things! George Washington, father of his country, was such a boy-- so was Abraham Lincoln!"

Look at this goddamn little scramp
Our cat Weasel. She is various shades of orange, with darker orange tiger stripes. She is laying in a sort of half-turn, exposing her tum, eyes mostly closed, her tail jutting off at a jaunty angle. She is laying on top of a quilt that is itself on top of a blanket. There are other, unseen blankets, because it is very cold. She is: a good kitty.

When I was 14, I went to the local weird-ass video store and rented bootleg VHS tapes of the Twin Peaks international pilot, the extended cut of Peter Jackson's "Dead Alive," and Jodorowsky's "Holy Mountain." I had the house to myself and watched the best triple feature ever.

The kid found a recipe that looked good, and here is the result. We made brioche dough yesterday, then today greased up a Bundt pan and rolled the dough around chunks of chocolate and put it in monkeybread-style; baked it up and created a tasty treat.
A beautifully browned ring of baked-up monkeybread-style brioche bread wrapped around chunks of chocolate. It looks much better than I thought it would.

NEW YEAR NEW CAT
A cat, rolling around on my rug, biting a catnip toy. She is beautiful, all orange and cream. Her meow is croaky and kind of snarly. She's a bit skittish, but this is day one. We don't have a good name for her yet. Quack? Bagel? Peaches?

Shortly after Christmas I had the opportunity to visit one of my favorite record shops in the Midwest. It is a vast treasure trove of unimaginable junk, cascading through dozens of rooms; there are also comics and books. It was fun.
Me, wearing a Canadian tuxedo, in a small room. Behind me is a plethora of ancient audio equipment. To my right are many shelves co raining 10" records and weird paperback originals. I am going through long boxes full of unbagged comics, and I am holding one up and making a very goofy face.

Midwestern Sepulchral
A photograph taken through the drivers' side window, somewhere in the Midwest. It is that sort of sad abandoned photo that can only be taken in the Midwest: skeletal trees strain for light; the ground is brown and bleak and multitiered; behind all of this, the sky is a gradient, lightening as it gets closer to the horizon, a panoply of dull blues and grays and whites.

When my mother was in high school or college, there was a lunch lady who couldn't understand it when the kids complained about the food. They'd say how bad it was, and she'd say "But...you can have more!" She'd been in a concentration camp. "More" was her dividing line for luxury.

Happy Winter Solstice. Egret on Snowy Branch. Ink, 64 × 89 mm, 2014. Inspired by Ohara Koson.
Ink drawing of an egret standing with one leg raised on a snowy branch against a night sky with gently falling snow. The piece is characterised by simple, clean linework and strong contrasts of black and white and is reminiscent of Japanese woodblock prints.
