Good news! Daisy's restraining order was extended for another year!

Bad news! There's like $5k of lawyer fees she has to pay. This is more than we anticipated or prepared for.

Portal 8. Staffordshire. Another unconventional horizontal portal made to look like a mossy grave. Gotta watch out for these ones. #tombtuesday

Portrait colour photo of a misty graveyard. A wall runs across the top third of the image and in front it is green grass with graves, and brown leaves on the ground. The closest grave is a rectangle of lime green moss on the ground. The headstone is gone. There are trees in the mist in the background.

My favorite Struzan story is that he was doing the poster for Indy at Disneyland, but they didn't have the rights to Ford's likeness. Fed up with working around the problem, Struzan just called Ford and was like, "hey, can I use your face for this," and Ford said, "if it's for you, absolutely."

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.

His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.

A massive loss 💔

I think if you tell your therapist that you're afraid of getting caught in a Poseidon Adventure, and he tells you "you don't need to be afraid of being caught in a Poseidon Adventure, you should go on that boat" and then you get caught on a Poseidon Adventure, you should get your therapy money back

"You make the best of it all and hope you can help make it a little better for the gurl after you."

- Miss Major, 2023 💔

One of the things I hear with some younger trans people I know is they feel, "I'm gonna get this surgery, and I'm gonna learn that way of speaking, and I'm gonna be done." You're never done. If you're a straight, cisgender person, you're never done. Things are always happening that have the potential to change you. So all I am today is not who I'm gonna be tomorrow, because of the things that happened to me today and later tonight. People forget that. "Oh, after I transition, I'm gonna be through." Well, good luck with that. 'Cause if you're through, then it's time to leave, you know, and I don't wanna go anywhere yet.
I'm in my seventies. Why didn't I stop? Number one is community. My gurls. I've had moments of thinking about stopping, but I didn't. I made sure I would step back, reju- venate myself, and then got back out there, and that's how you make a way. Our stories are not all the same, but the destination is: to get some place where we have some peace and harmony, and we can be at ease with ourselves and the people around us. You make the best of it all and hope you can help make it a little better for the gurl after you.

White centrist Americans will never defund the police, because the police are staffed with their friends and family and also the eager Brownshirts willing to violently oppress the "others" that white America disagrees with or finds uncomfortable. They won't give that privilege up without a fight.

Good day in the U.S. to remember white folks aren’t from here. We didn’t bring our “best”. We brought murderers, rapists, etc.

We’re on stolen land, our “heritage” is built on massacre, and our demonizing of modern immigrants is a cruel irony.

Abolish ICE. Restore justice for Indigenous Americans.
