A beautiful poem by Emily Gorcenski about what it’s like to see the world right now. The Time of Cowards.

Cecil B. Demented, 2000

A stylized poster with bold red and black colors featuring a woman with a gun and a man, accompanied by the title Cecil B. Demented.

Perfect movie.

My friend Alex reminded me of the time we performed in a drag show circa 2008. We did a little comedy medley and lip synced some tunes. That’s me on the right. We’re looking good.

I’m choosing to recognize only one significant event today. Reflecting on Martin Luther King Jr seems a lot more productive.

I’m drinking iced coffee out of a Guinness glass this morning and feel like the biggest lush.

What if lycanthropy effected other animals? “Watch out! That squirrel? During a full moon, it’ll be a weasel.”

Wolf Man, 2025 - ★½

Two people stand in a dark forest at night, one holding a flashlight, with the moon shining above and the word WOLFMAN in large letters.

A foggy day in lower Manhattan.

Went to the NYC People’s March yesterday. A lot smaller than last time around, but nice to be part of that positive energy. Representative of the crowd, I overheard one older woman say, “Oh, there’s a young person” 🙃

Finished reading: Babel by R. F. Kuang 📚

What an incredible book.

Been listening to Never Breathe What You Can’t See by Jello Biafra and the Melvins for the first time in years. Shit rips. 🎵

A Complete Unknown, 2024

A person wearing sunglasses is partially in shadow next to the text A Complete Unknown.

I now know less about Bob Dylan.

A person wearing sunglasses is depicted with the text A Complete Unknown beside them.

I now know less about Bob Dylan.

Listening to “Babel” by R.K. Kuang on the subway while someone the same car is reading it. Years ago a guy sat next to me and we both read “IT”. A toast to underground literature coincidences.
