I feel judged
Photograph out of my window, looking out across the street. There's a white house in the background, but that's not the important thing here. The foreground of the photo shows my, kind of sparse given the time of year, window box containing some geraniums with only minimal flowers left. Next to the window box sits a large crow, head turned to look into my room, watching me

Because apparently the full transcript from that part of Trump's speech absolutely changes the sentiment once you see the the context around the bit about fighting like hell, eh
Screen, from NPR, of part of the transcript of Trump's speech on 6 January. The text reads: Together, we will drain the Washington swamp and we will clean up the corruption in our nation's capital. We have done a big job on it, but you think it's easy. It's a dirty business. It's a dirty business. You have a lot of bad people out there. Despite everything we've been through, looking out all over this country and seeing fantastic crowds. Although this, I think, is our all-time record. I think you have 250,000 people. 250,000. Looking out at all the amazing patriots here today, I have never been more confident in our nation's future. Well, I have to say, we have to be a little bit careful. That's a nice statement, but we have to be a little careful with that statement. If we allow this group of people to illegally take over our country because it's illegal when the votes are illegal when the way they got there is illegal when the states that vote are given false and fraudulent information. We are the greatest country on Earth and we are headed and were headed in the right direction. You know, the wall is built. We're doing record numbers at the wall. Now, they want to take down the wall. Let's let everyone flow in. Let's let everybody flow in. We did a great job in the wall. Remember, the wall, they said it could never be done. One of the largest infrastructure projects we've ever had in this country, and it's had a tremendous impact, that we got rid of catch and release. We got rid of all of this stuff that we had to live with. But now, the caravans, I think Biden's getting in, the caravans are forming again. They want to come in again and rip off our country. Can't let it happen. Second screenshot of text from the transcript. The text continues: As this enormous crowd shows, we have truth and justice on our side. We have a deep and enduring love for America in our hearts. We love our country. We have overwhelming pride in this great country and we have it deep in our souls. Together, we are determined to defend and preserve government of the people, by the people and for the people. Our brightest days are before us. Our greatest achievements, still away. I think one of our great achievements will be election security. Because nobody until I came along had any idea how corrupt our elections were. And again, most people would stand there at 9 o'clock in the evening and say I want to thank you very much, and they go off to some other life. But I said something's wrong here, something is really wrong, can have happened. And we fight. We fight like hell. And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore. Our exciting adventures and boldest endeavors have not yet begun. My fellow Americans, for our movement, for our children, and for our beloved country. And I say this despite all that's happened. The best is yet to come. So we're going to, we're going to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue. I love Pennsylvania Avenue. And we're going to the Capitol, and we're going to try and give. The Democrats are hopeless — they never vote for anything. Not even one vote. But we're going to try and give our Republicans, the weak ones because the strong ones don't need any of our help. We're going to try and give them the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country. So let's walk down Pennsylvania Avenue.

An image using the Zohran Mamdani political sign generator, usually seen reading "Zohran for New York City. The "for" is in italics. The original has "Zohran" on the upper line, "for" at the start of the lower line, followed by "New York City". It uses yellow text with a red shadow to create 3D lettering, on a blue background. The text in this case instead reads "one two three for I'll listen to my heart" (where for remains spelt as F, O, R, not as F, O, U, R), which is the opening lines of Listen To My Heart, by the Ramones

Instagram showing my adverts made by someone who either has no idea what it implies or knows exactly what it implies
Screenshot of an advert from Instagram. The image shows the fingers of an outstretched hand, palm up, fingers together. A pair of silver star-shaped earrings held by the stud between the index and forefinger. The text on the advert reads "do you have a second or third hole"

Yeah, I've been cutting and cutting mine for ages and it's worked every time. Half of the larger plant is cuttings from itself, and the smaller plant is entirely cuttings from the larger one (guess I'm probably at least third generation on some of these cuttings now; cuttings from cuttings)

Closed my eyes in a photo again
A photograph of your fearless correspondent, sitting at a table in a bar (though the table isn't visible), glass of red wine half in the photo. I'm wearing a long sleeved black top. My right hand is out of shot, right arm by my side. My left elbow is resting on the table, and my left hand is touching my face. I'm caught mid laugh, eyes closed, head slightly back. My shoulder length dark brain hair is worn down, falling on to my right shoulder, and tucked behind my left ear, and hanging down behind my left shoulder. The glass doors of the bar looking out over the bar's garden can be seen behind me. While the background has been blurred out a little you can see that it's fairly busy outside, with women sitting around every table

Reading Token Homo's latest mailer and being bought to tears by his vehement support for trans rights for, like, the fifth time this year?
Screenshot of text from Token Homo's newsletter, promoting the Mutant Hunt screening and trans rights fund raising. The text reads: I have always made it as loud and clear as I can that my film shows and events are trans inclusive and that any kind of discriminatory bullshit is not welcome or tolerated. However, I am stupidly proud to be handing BAR TRASH over to queer horror academic Avery McNeilly and my longtime cinematic travelling companion, Loose Willis. I am similarly stupidly proud to have BAR TRASH audience member Enna Cooper write such a beautiful piece about finding trans representation in cult cinema for this season's fanzine (quote below). And later in the month, Hong Kong-born trans masculine makeup artist, cos player and drag creature Geremi So will join us for our MYSTERY HORROR FILM at Genesis. Making a space for us to be together can be hard work. Sharing that space with other vital voices is a total, middle-aged life-affirming joy. Sreenshot from the mailer showing a quote from my article. The quote reads: It's there in the conflict that comes with recognising the need to transition, even though you're still years away from considering that to be possible yourself, and the sense that what you first consider to be monstrous - the very admission that the real you is hidden within - can become something of beauty once it is finally allowed to be released"

Y'all know Wednesday is all about Bar Trash's Mutant Hunt screening/fundraiser for the Good Law Project's trans rights legal fund, hosted by Token Homo, presented by Avery McNeilly & drag king extraordinaire Loose Willis, at Genesis, right? With bonus me in the season fanzine available on the night
Photograph of the last couple of paragraphs of my article on the films in which I saw my identity, despite them not always being about trans characters, as a teenager, as published in the fanzine that accompanies the current season of Bar Trash The promotional image, filched from Instagram, for this week's Bar Trash screening of Mutant Hunt and accompanying fund raiser for the Good Law Project's trans rights legal fund. The image is largely text based, though adds little detail not already in my post, alongside the poster for Mutant Hunt, which shows a cyborg lifting a man up high into the air by one hand

My condolences to the Greek family who were made into yoghurt so that I could have breakfast
Photograph showing the foil lid of a pot of yogh9. The lid is mostly blue and purple, and shows an image of a number of blackcurrants arranged around the manufacturer logo and text. The manufacturer brand is Tims, whose logo is the company name in black text over a stylized image of a the head of a daisy as seen from above. The text, in white, on the lid reads "blackcurrant Greek family yoghurt", split over three lines with the words Greek family appearing on the second line

30 September / 1 October
A still from Spring (2014), showing Nadia Hilker, wearing a strapless red mini dress and black ankle boots, long dark brown hair worn down and falling onto her shoulders, sitting on a bench eating ice cream in a picturesque Italian town square A still from Spring (2014), showing Nadia Hiliker lying on the floor, face contorted in pain, wearing a dark top which is soaked through. There's blood all over the floor. Her right arm has turned into a tentacle, with three smaller tentacles where her hand would be, and her lower body has turned into a thick coiled protuberance that looks like an octopus arm, the underside of which is covered in sucker cups, coiled up beneath her. Everyhing looks really slimy

Seems it didn't delete from the message requests on a web browser, just in the app (though it had blocked them). It's actually worse than I first thought; it's coming from a flip phone screen, not a laptop, and the hand is doing more of a touching motion than waving. Totally has lecherous vibes

Zines! Zines! Zines!
Photograph showing a zine propped up against a cushion. The design on the cushion is a close up of Elsa Lanchester's face in The Bride Of Frankenstein (1935). The zine is for the new season of Bar Trash, and shows the Bar Trash logo, the season title, Synthetic Flesh!, and the film poster for the 1925 silent movie version of Phantom Of The Opera Photograph of a close up of the closing two paragraphs of an article in the zine, showing the contributors name.

Black and white photograph of the band, Popular Workshop, on stage at the Old Blue Last in Shoreditch. The photo centres on their singer/guitarist. He's wearing jeans and a striped t-shirt, and has chin length dark hair. He's standing side on. The photo is full of motion blur. The headstock of his guitar is caught mid motion, and he jerked his head back and to one side as the photo was taken, creating the impression that his head has been cleaved open as as there's an almost empty space between the two images of the top of his head. His face can be seen twice, once looking forward and down at his guitar, and also turned towards us with his eyes closed

Proof of my existence in the wild. I'm not merely a figment of your imagination who lives only in selfies. I am real (and the unhidden face is a friend, and I know I don't need to protect her existence as a queer woman of other varieties)
Photograph - well, a screengrab of a video posted to the event organiser's Instagram stories - showing a group of women talking in a bar, one of who is your narrator. The face of two of the women are obscured with clown emojis for potential privacy reasons), while a third is facing away from the camera, leaving only my face and my friend's face visible

Feels like the time of afternoon on a Friday when we shouldn't be trying to do anything more strenuous than take selfies (why, yes, I am trying to get my head back around the fine detail of something I was working on before my three weeks off)
Self portrait of the artist as someone who doesn't want to be pouring over spreadsheets. Photo cropped at the shoulders. Black sleeveless top, bare shoulders visible. Hair looking dry and big and in need of being washed, no lipstick, strong eyeliner, looking directly into the camera. Quite a lot of bedroom visible in the background. Ochre and white coloured bed linen, the leaves of various plants, a print of a Robert Longo black and white portrait of the artist Gretchen Bender, showing her caught in motion dancing, hanging over the bed on the white wall,sun shining in through the window softening the view of the houses that be seen on the other side of the road Close up self portrait of the artist, dressed as before. Cropped below the chest, upper right arm visible, left arm bent at the elbow so my hand touches my chin, hair pushed back from my face, winged eyeliner on display, eyes looking slightly downwards into the camera, and what has recently seen described by multiple, unrelated, people as an enigmatic smile on my face

Pretty sure that no screening of Possession can ever be truly considered a relaxed screening of Possession
Screenshot from the Picturehouse website, promoting a screening of Andrzej Żuławski's Possession. The image used is cropped at chest height and taken from the sequence with Isabelle Adjani, wearing a blue dress, is freaking out in the tunnel, back against the wall, hands held up to her face, staring bug eyed at nothing, lips drawn back bearing her teeth. The text reads "Welcome to Finsbury Park Picturehouse. Relaxed screening and discussion: Possession. Join us for a relaxed screening of Andrzej Żuławski's Possession and informal post-film discussion. 7pm, Tuesday 30 September"

Of course, the other thing to remember is that you're still buying those terrible owners' product, still helping them profit from hatred and bigotry, and still giving them money to pay bigots to write more bigotry (even if the particular writer whose work you're reading isn't writing the bigotry)
Screenshot of two posts, with the OP's details removed. The two posts, combined, read as follows: if you eg do not like Murdoch's politics but really do think that The Times has a very good books section, I am delighted to report that if you call up to cancel they will offer you secret deals of eg £6 for 10 articles a month. Which I'd be happy to pay for @john-self.bsky.social's writing alone. the other good thing you can do in these circs is to tell them precisely which writers you're sticking around for, which they keep a note of. they have some bloody good writers, The Times. awful owner, but great writers.

The only other piece that really grabbed me was Whistler's Symphony In White No III, which reminded me of this William Eggleston photograph
The paining, Symphony In White No III, by James McNeill Whister, painted around 1865. The painting shows two young women, the one to our left wearing in a long white dress, lounging on a seat, leaning over to our left, head resting on her right hand, eyes open and looking towards us left arm reaching out along the back of the seat. The other sits on the floor on our right, facing her companion, knees bent, her left arm resting on her upper leg, her right arm stretched out on the seat and head leaning against her right upper arm, eyes closed. A discarded fan sits on the floor by her legs Photograph by William Eggleston, taken in 1974. The shot shows a close of up two teenaged girls on a patterned sofa, cropping out the lower part and the right hand end of the sofa. The girl on our left is wearing a blue dress and is lying on the sofa looking sad, arms folded so her hands meet on her stomach, eyes closed, dark hair pushed back. The girl on our right is wearing a red and white patterned sleeveless dress (possibly a halter neck) and has long blondish curly hair that spills over the sofa. Her left arm is visible and is resting against her friend's leg, and she's looking directly at her friend's face
