I got to see a restoration of one of my favorite films at @reelingfilmfest.bsky.social last night. More beautiful, erotic, and enticing than ever. The world James Bidgood created is gay heaven and so inspiring. Hoping for a physical release soon. youtu.be/jf2bymItPmo?...

heart pumps up, down through the chest wall in the scalding embrace of my bath. rapid, strong, could rip through. breath. heart sounds in the ear canal, catastrophic thoughts swirling. still, body still. new problems every day for months as relocation reaches, chokes. wishing for an end, no joy now.

I've quoted this passage from Trump -- where he states his intent to cause riots and US economic collapse -- so many times. He flat-out announced it on Fox News in February 2014. In my book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT I quote my own 2016 essay warning of his plan: www.hidinginplainsightbook.com

Lover 2025 11"x14" acrylic on paper from THE BUCKTOOTHED F△GG⊙T (or THE NIJINSKY INCANTATION)

For 2 months, I was in constant creative movement. Creative choice. Fearless. Powerful. Trusting in self. Beauty and honesty and intimacy everywhere. Never tired. Two weeks out from that time, old patterns creep in. Old fears. Ways. Intellect. Tiredness. Giving them power empowers decay. Noticing.

"Nazi salute" redefined as "awkward gesture." "Ethnic cleansing," a "resort." "Coup," a "dramatic restructuring."

I'm reading THE PATH OF THE ACTOR, Michael Chekhov's autobiography, written at age 36. A thread of quotes that resonate:

“The real actor in us is an invisible being, the activity of our imaginations, which is our creative spirit, which cannot be seen or felt. We artists, people who are born to use their imaginations, their fantasy, we are people working in the realm of invisible things.” - Michael Chekhov

I held your hand. I danced for you. I fell in love with you. It was a dream. It wasn't a dream. I sleep. I sleep. I do not sleep. I balance. I balance then and now. Who then. Who now. I held your hand. I meant it. I felt it. Who now.
