I keep coming back to this photo I took yesterday of the Stonewall Inn, and the vow written in neon in the window, which I think we would all do well to live by right now: “In the name of those who came before me, I pledge to be brave, to be true to myself, and to fight like hell for equality.”

The Dutch anatomist Frederik Ruysch, known as the "The Artist of Death", met his own death #onthisday in 1731. Why the nickname? This engraving of one of his remarkable "still life" displays gives a clue. More in Luuc Koojimans' essay: buff.ly/37Mpzvu

One thing about humanity, is we will make art for any kind of creature. Those we mourn (Howie the crab), those we never knew (Anglerfish), and even thrist traps for those in the headlines (Port and Starboard). We really are the most. 😆

A lot of the destruction is happening in places most people are not aware even exist & the destroyers are counting on that. Making that known, doing what is asked, is excellent resistance.

Gonna drop this offer again: the flu looks brutal this year. Vaccines can help so much, but I know they can be hard. CVS will let you book an appointment online, and the will often come out to your car to give you the shot if necessary. If you need help finding one or paying, TELL US!
