Why do people around Trump keep accidentally making the Nazi salute? Itā€™s such an effing mysteryā€¦

We donā€™t go out to dinner on Valentineā€™s Day (since the $500 nightmare dinner in 1996) so tonight it is Mac and Cheese and hot dogs, but with French 75ā€™s. Happy Valentineā€™s Dayā€”go out (or stay in) and celebrate same gender love while we still can. 33rd Valentineā€™s Day together for us!

This bookā€¦I laughed (his writing is witty), then I cried. Such a tragedy that Putin killed him. Where is our Navalny?

Two of my loves, six years ago.

Remembering our trip to Venice 19 years ago this monthā€¦ We went off-season, just after Carnivale, and the city was mostly empty of tourists. Wandering the bridges and along canals, finding wonderful restaurants, enjoying the unique winter light: it was a truly awesome visit.

Holy shit! Democrats, if youā€™re looking for a fighter, you found oneā€” @malcolmkenyatta.bsky.social for DNC Vice Chair.

Elon Musk: - Welcomed neo-Nazis to X - Replies to neo-Nazis on X - Reposts neo-Nazis on X - Funds neo-Nazis through X - Engages with racist memes on X - Posts racist, anti-trans and other bigoted rhetoric on X - Performed three Nazi salutes on stage while the world was watching This isn't hard.

I don't think we can share the side-by-side of Elon Musk doing the Nazi salute next to Nazis doing the Nazi salute enough.

ā€œUseless Science or The Alchemistā€, Remedios Varo, 1958. After looking at this wonderful piece, read about it here: www.artchive.com/artwork/alch...

ā€œMount Katahdinā€, Marsden Hartley, 1941. My cousinā€™s dad spent some time with Hartley in Maine. His works are very interesting.

Itā€™s Stanleyā€™s birthday! šŸŽ‚ Heā€™s two today.

First Thanksgiving after the election with a mixed political family.

ā€œSelf-portrait with Cropped Hairā€, Frida Kahlo, 1940. She divorced Diego Rivera and did this painting. She might be wearing his suit. Her life is at least as interesting a her works. If ever there was a relationship defined as ā€œItā€™s complicatedā€ it was theirs.

ā€œUluā€™s Pantsā€, Leonora Carrington, 1952. Carrington might be my favorite painter. Her world is clearly her ownā€”strange and etherealā€”and I can always spend time seeing new things in her works every time I have the chance.

Using people as political footballs gets them killed. I stand with trans people against the past, current, and upcoming demonization and tyranny that they face daily simply for being themselves. #InternationalTransDayofRemembrance

ā€œPortrait of Ira P.ā€, Tamara de Lempicka, 1930. Lempicka is a defining artist of Art Deco, but her influences were also the cubists and futurists of her time. This is a portrait of her long-time friend and occasional lover.
