“Tobacco Embers”, 1982, documents women tobacco workers in India who worked 12+ hrs & pay depended on output.

They organized and successfully demanded better wages, sane hours, and safer conditions.

A (laundry room) door opened up to a space that Ollie is never allowed in and what a world it is.

I have fears he’ll climb into the dryer when I’m not looking, so it’s always off limits. But today I woke up early, read the ungodly news, and decided Ollie gets to have joy.

Cooking days are the best days. Making my usual Greek marinade before moving on to making two different soups to get through a few cold days.

Continuing Ishirō Honda streak with “Varan the Unbelievable”, 1958.

There was an unfortunate America-edited version, but Criterion’s seems to be the original. Although even this version was originally supposed to be made as 3 tv episodes but then got changed to a feature film.

Started a cleaning project. This calls for Chicago South Side 1927-29 Jazz.

“Easy Rider”, Dixie Rhythm Kings, Chicago, Sept. 23, 1929.

Names in 🧵

Mitchell was the cornet player for the Jelly Roll Morton band. Liner notes say he “still lives in Chicago” & retired to work for a stock broker.

Clay Pigeons - Blaze Foley, 1989 Live at the Austin Outhouse

Blaze Foley was murdered on Feb. 1, 1989 when he was 39. I learned about him via John Prine and found out that Ethan Hawke directed a biopic about him in 2018 that I need to watch.

Ollie sitting in front of the fireplace. He just got caught trying to eat my plant on the mantle so this is his, “What? I’m innocent” face.

I’d light the fire in this cold weather, but last week the carbon monoxide alarm went off when I lit it, so no.

Dying to see this. I’ve been intrigued about Ms. Todd Lincoln ever since I read a bio about her and used it for book reports over several years so I wouldn’t have to do more work. I fondly recall her obsessive collecting of gloves. Thank you “I, Mary” (Ruth Painter Randell, 1959), for the intro.
Cole Escola’s much-acclaimed play about former first lady Mary Todd Lincoln will tour the states starting this fall.
The Tony Award-winning play ‘Oh, Mary!’ will come to Chicago in 2027

Watching “Bones and All” (2022, Luca Guadagnino) and told niece how much I’m loving it and regretting that I somehow missed it in theaters.

She’s like, “Watch every Luca movie if you have not…and I mean EVERY single one”

Mission accepted

Watched Hong Kong cult classic ghost romance film “A Chinese Ghost Story”, (1987, Ching Siu-tung) and loved it. It’s funny!

The special effects were very 1980’s in the best possible way.

Plus a rap song from martial artist Wu Ma sparks joy.

He’s so cuddly today. Probably because it’s too cold for the catio and we played chase the hair tie for a while earlier. Oh, and maybe the catnip bubbles from grandma from Xmas.

Re-watched “Children of Men” (2006, Alfonso Cuarón).

Visceral extended takes where you never get to breathe. A bit of humanity remains in a select few in the midst of war and hatred. Even 20 yrs ago, the bad guys look like ICE and IDF boys of today.

I had no idea that Kelly Bishop not only originated the role of Sheila Bryant in “A Chorus Line”, but the character is based on her real life too

My friend is sending amazing photos from their vacation and normally I’d be like, “oh that’s sweet.” But given the news the past few days combined with gray skies here, these are like a breath of fresh air.

A friend wrote a book that got nominated for two Goodreads Choice Awards and it’s about witches fighting Nazi’s which…YES. Timely. Into it.

So I’m trying to get this chosen as the first book in our book club.
