“Everyday, once a day, give yourself a present. Don’t plan it, don’t wait for it. Just let it happen. It could be a new shirt at the Men’s store. A catnap in your office chair. Or two cups of good, hot black coffee.”

So long, David Lynch. May your memory be a blessing. 🖤

the problem of pleasure (this heaven gives me migraine) // Jessie Lynn McMains, January 2025

Acrylic paint, collage, rub-on lettering, and Xerox transfer on paper. Words/title/inspiration from Gang of Four’s “Natural’s Not In It.”

It’s my first completed art piece of 2025!

My most recent painting. I call it “Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash,” as I was listening to that Pogues album when I made it, and the concept was simply ‘what this album makes me feel.’

It also felt important to wear my semi-DIY Crass/Destroy Power Not People shirt today.

Everything I’m currently reading is difficult and painful but also so so essential right now.
