It's the summer of orange wines.

A glass of delicious orange wine on a light grey table.

Jill! Full blast!

Don't keep your fancy glassware in the back of the cabinet. Use them! This is a goblet from the violet-tinted glassware I've had for probably 30 years. Btw listening to Rumer on the deck in the warm summer breeze.

My left hand holding a wine glass hall-full of rosé.

That is a queen! Male monarchs have spots on their lower wings that emit pheromones.

Shelby's Dusty Springfield covers—an essential album. Perfect for another deck night, summer air, cold beer.

Cover of Shelby Lynne's album "Just A Little Lovin'." She is sitting on the edge of a bed with her elbows on her knees and her chin rested in her hands.

Smoky dusk means cotton candy clouds.

'Tis a truth universally acknowledged that beer tastes better in a pilsner glass.

Happy 46th birthday to the Kween 👸🏻. It's also 30 years ago this year she won her first of five world championship titles.

The new @thewarandtreaty.bsky.social album 'bout to become our most-played of the year. I mean, goddamn.

Cover of the new album from The War and Treaty. It has a reddish-orange backdrop with Michael standing behind Tanya, who looks insanely exquisite in a black dress lounging on a black chair.

Live from the #ObamaCenter opening weekend. Joy everywhere.

This image has been making the rounds with no alt text and often not quotable. Here, with alt text, is the exhibit of "Electric Fan (Feel It Motherfuckers)" by John Boskovich. May young queers today continue to learn about the AIDS crisis and never live through anything like it. Happy Pride.

John Boskovich
(b. 1956, Los Angeles; d. 2006, Los Angeles)
Electric Fan (Feel it Motherfuckers): Only Unclaimed Item from the Stephen Earabino Estate, 1997
Electric fan encased in Plexiglas with vinyl faux etching and Plexiglas base with casters
Gift of the artist in memory of Stephen Earabino
2000.12
Soon after the death of his lover Stephen Earabino from AIDS, Los Angeles conceptual artist Boskovich discovered that Earabino's family had completely cleared out his apartment. including the artist's possessions, save for the electric box fan in this work. An entire person, existence, and relationship had been erased, like so many were during the AIDS crisis.
Boskovich encased the fan in Plexiglas as a kind of evidence and added cutouts to allow its circulated air to escape and be felt by the viewer, almost like an exhalation. In a sense restoring Earabino's breath, at least as a facsimile in memo-riam, Boskovich makes a tender and brokenhearted gesture toward some form of eternal.

Love a lemon! My B has a cute lemon shirt.

So much feels impossibly defeating right now, so I need you to look at these peonies. Just look at them. They know nothing of the world other than their own beauty. Would that we all felt the same. #FlowerReport #bloomscrolling

Watching this at 7 and 8 years old, I felt things.

I hope everyone gets to experience the grandeur of the Great Hall in Chicago's Union Station at least once. Restoration was completed in 2019. I love getting here early when I take the train to visit my mom so I can sit and marvel for a bit. chicagounionstation.com/private-even...

This guy on the train has taken me back to high school. Rugby shirt and bleached jeans? Late 80s prep. Only thing missing are the shoes should be high-tops with the tongue flipped out.

Wearing proper shorts today. Try to control yourself, ma'am.

How very dare.

They are so beautiful. I forget who captured this image of one, but it's an amazing shot!

I shared this with my mom. She's been so excited for the launch & subsequent news, comparing it to watching the 1st moon missions as a young woman. I rotated the image for her so she could reference the landmarks a bit easier. The brown land mass is the Sahara. Lights of Spain & Portugal above it.
