I think I dreamed about this statue I saw yesterday

A large bronze statue of a woman wearing a sort of crow headdress with sort of sun bursts surrounding her masked face and creating a sort of crown. She is holding her palms up and out. There are faces in each palm. She is wearing some sort of gown and the sculpture looks almost liquid in its gorgeousness. There is a yellow wall behind her. The statue is by Leonora Carrington.

things have been feeling very heavy and hot in the world and my brain, so I asked my friend to give me something short and fun. not pictured: the uncrossing kit I picked up on the way home. July demons, begone!

A middle-aged white lady with black glasses and a septum ring makes a little smile at the camera. She is wearing a black shirt and some necklaces. Her short brown hair is curly and asymmetrical and has been freshly cut. there are definitely some white hairs in there. she is walking down the street in nyc. it's a nice summer evening, and it's still light out.

if you find yourself in the west village on what may be the hottest day of the year, I suggest stopping into Milk Bar for a cereal milk affogato. you will be so refreshed AND see through time and space.

A white woman's hand is holding a plastic cup full of ice cream and espresso, resting on a white counter top, with a big straw sticking out of the drink. There's a photo of a some sort of delicious baked good on the wall behind the drink.

no pressure but if this doesn't change my fucking life I'm going to scream

I have no memory whatsoever of reading Queen of the Damned, but there is hard evidence I carried it around for a while.

A pile of books sits on the white carpet of a closet in a home in Dallas. The books include Anne rice, Clive barker, and poppy z brite. There's a deck of tarot cards on top.

get you a partner who, when you're in a super bad mood and you want to self-isolate, coaxes you to be social, and it actually DOES cheer you up. Here's Mykel and Rufus showing off different martial arts moves.

A smaller white man in a tan t-shirt and black pants makes a choking gesture at the neck of a taller white man with large glasses, who is dressed in a black t-shirt with an illustration on the front and black pants. They're in a bar; there's a TV on the wall in the background. their faces are serious but they're joking. It's Mykel Board and my beloved Rufus.

doing some spring cleaning and found this truly ancient VHS tape of Der Todesking given to me by a friend who was like, I don't want this in my house any more. I don't want it either!

A hand holds a VHS box with a creepy black and white picture on the front of a man in a chair with a toddler at his feet. The words "Der Todesking" are at the top of the box, while the movie credits are in tiny text at the bottom. Looks haunted.

Sometimes I just gotta sleep it off! But I also like to think about how safe and happy Iggy feels and that cheers me up

A beautiful chonky tabby boy lays on his back with his eyes closed, resting on a soft dark grey comforter. His belly is light tan, and his body is striped with black and brown patterns.

I am pretty sure I am also connected to the moon.

A tarot card sits on a dark duvet cover. It's the Moon card from the Thoth deck. The image is split into two halves, and each half shows guides/Egyptian gods/pillars on either side of a portal/yonic opening. It's trippy!

brain so very smooth today after first EMDR session so here's a cat

A calico cat with white feet and an almost pinkish tint to her orange bits snoozes on top of a stereo component in front of wooden French doors leading to the street. there is a shelf with some books above her. Her front paws are tucked in politely and her stripey tail is wrapped around her back leggies.

I love an art show with a warning sign on the door. it's the '90s edgelord in me.

A sign is taped to a glass door that says, "Content Advisory: This exhibition contains artworks that include explicit sexual imagery and themes of bondage and fessh. Some viewers may find this material disturbing or inappropriate. Viewer discretion is advised, and the exhibition may not be suitable for
minors." On the other side of the door is an art gallery where drawings and photos are being exhibited.

OP is reflected in the glass encasing a sign that reads, "LONG STORY SHORT

PRESENTS
WEIGHT OF

AN EXHIBITION BY
NOBUYOSHI ARAKI
AND
NAMIO HARUKAWA

there's a store in the LES that's selling a pristine copy of Propaganda magazine for a cool hundred bucks.

I found this going through my mom's stuff!

the rats were partying in Tompkins tonight. the bright new streetlights are too exciting.

A white man with silver hair and cool glasses squints in the light from an offscreen source. He seems to be saying something. His black hoodie is covered in festive buttons. A white woman with dark hair and glasses, also in a black hoodie, sits next to him looking quizzical. a fence with greenery is behind them; it's nighttime and they're sitting in a city park where rats are going absolutely gangbusters, although you can't tell that from this selfie. Just know it's true.

after or perhaps while we were watching The Last Sacrifice on Shudder and I was cackling madly with delight about all of the footage of nekkid '70s British witches, Rufus went online and bought this book for me on eBay.

A photo of a black hardcover book titled "King of the Witches: The World of Alex Sanders." Below the title is a sort of Solomonic purple seal emblazoned with words and yellow stars, surrounding an illustration of a pointy-looking man holding something. Underneath that is the author's name, June Johns, in yellow. The combination of purple, black, and yellow is sort of ugly but excellent. The book is on a kitchen counter and the light is a little ugly but not excellent.

not only do I think AI is bullshit but I'm about to become even more insufferable

I went to a rally for @bradlander.bsky.social at Tompkins with a bunch of lovely @jfrejnyc.bsky.social folks! @advocate.nyc.gov was one of the speakers and terrific as usual.

A group of JFREJ members stand near the entrance to Tompkins Square Park, with NY Public Advocate Jumaane Williams. Some are holding signs that say Brad Lander for Congress. Yours truly is on the far right and smiling widely. It's a little grey, but spring is coming!

FB wanted to remind me of a tweet I got about my review of "Green Book." (Please know I did NOT write that headline.) as a freelancer, I miss Twitter's incredible networking capabilities, but the rest of it can fuck off into the sea.

a twitter user named "AynBanned" comments, "Note to @msjennimiller: everyone is subject to racism. It's literally racist for you to suggest otherwise." they are quoting a tweet from NBC News that links to a piece I wrote about Green Book.

today I spotted a tent in union square for Zohran merch. I don't think I've seen something like that since the election? It seems meaningful that people are still this excited.

Depression sucks so much because your brain and body know they've felt love and joy before, they know they can and will again, but in the meantime shit just feels bad, man!!! I forced myself out of the apt today to volunteer at the park, and selfishly it really helped me.

these are the kinds of things @rufus-hickok.bsky.social has kept for decades and I love it/him

A white hand holds a yellowed newspaper clipping that's an ad for Lost Highway, with "TWO THUMBS DOWN" across the top. the background is a nice well-lit living room with a pretty rug.

Rufus has unearthed a pristine copy of a January 1997 @fangoria.bsky.social from his mom's garage, and I'm in awe.

A pristine copy of Fangoria issue 158 featuring Mars Attacks and a little movie called Scream.

it's both... he enjoys tummy rubs but then gets too worked up and has to go on a bite rampage!!

A brown and black tabby lays happily on his back with his front paws in the air and a little smile on his face. A hand belonging to the person taking the photograph is rubbing his tummy.

Iggy was listening to his favorite lofi beats but heard someone mention his second-favorite thing (his first is biting butts)

A brown and black tabby cat reclines on his owner's lap, on his back, with his paws in the air and bent like little bunny foo foo, but his head is raised and his eyes are alert. He is laying next to the keyboard of a laptop, on top of a purplish blanket, and his human has one hand on the keyboard behind him. His human is wearing a white shirt with a black illustration on the front that you can't quite make out but is a Richard Kern photo of Lung Leg.

there has never been a shirt that's gotten more compliments from random teens on skateboards than Rufus' Hausu shirt!!

A photo of a white, grey-haired man wearing orange glasses sitting at an outdoor table with his hands in front of him. His shirt is bright red and illustrated with an orange and yellow flaming smiling cat face from the movie Hausu.

starting a new religion based on this college by Helen Adam, from the book @rufus-hickok.bsky.social gave me tonight ("Ghosts and Grinning Shadows: Two Witch Stories"!!)

A page from a book that is illustrated with a photo collage of a white cat mid-jump, their paws to heaven as if hailing Diana, set against Stonehenge, with the caption "Great Is Diana!"

I ran into a friend from college almost in front of my building who is in town for the meow mix extravaganza. we kvelled over Zohran and how neither of us seem to age. Now I'm gonna do spooky crafts and watch movies!

the palm of my hand holding a sigil for black moon Lilith by creator @taxilhoax, a string of tourmaline quartz beads, which are different shades of clear and grey, some with black stripes or other inclusions, and a packet of silk string bead cord. Beads of Paradise on 17th is the best!

I can't be the only person who represents the particular Venn diagram of Internet-poisoned '90s weirdo turned pop culture creep that this image was created for and by
