I'm not quite sure this planet ever truly deserves her; oftentimes I wonder if she was even from this planet. Diminutive in size, she is a towering figure in my life.
Happy birthday, AuntiTina.

My parents split when I was barely ten years old, and while I didn't get to see her for quite some time she was never far from my thoughts. She is one of the most chic, elegant, funny, kind believers in the power of good - and proudly dancing to the beat of your own drum - the world has ever seen.

That time on this day 11 years ago when Simone and Mika were riding on the elevator of my building, telepathically caught my attention, and both simultaneously expressed their undying love to me, thus ensuring that everything in the galaxy would be alright.

Completely seedy, completely glorious. 1305-1309 Market Street,
Philadelphia, 1981
That strip where you see people standing (and these buildings) was demolished many years ago. But that’s where I, as a youngster after exploring the city, used to catch the 44 bus back to my parents' Main Line home.

Happy 65th birthday to the artist whose collaborations with Derek Jarman affected me more deeply than any other artist to shape my worldview. Happy birthday, Tilda.

In NYC, hope, joy, and a look towards the future won tonight. There is a ton of work to be done, and there may be stumbles, but kindness prevailed.
And on the other side of the spectrum… Democratic Party leadership continues to face plant and plummet straight towards the earth at breakneck speed.

Will someone please explain
to me why I dressed like the

7 years ago today I posted: “It starts off ridiculously and the vague 70s decor confused me. But there are some spectacular splatters, and the final act is ferociously good. Bonus: The ArcLight at 11am wasn’t busy and they have the actual costumes worn by Michael and Laurie on display.” #Halloween

In my former loft, at each sunrise I awoke to a 1962 wood dinette chair, a large picture window, and a David Lynch self-portrait.
