The test shot @oo0oo.bsky.social took of me at the oddities market is getting me more flirty responses than usual. I don't think I look particularly less-ugly, but I'm honourbound to post it as many places as possible

The cat in the shelter under our stairs gave birth to six(?!) kittens last night. She's exhausted.

Found a set by one of my favorite local punk bands from when I was in high school in the Aadam Jacobs collection on @archive.org !! Mary Tyler Morphine at Lounge Ax in 1999. archive.org/details/aada... RIP Ursula from MTM. RIP Lounge Ax.

On an escalator to the gym behind a guy with the thiccest thighs and a gal with the fattest ass (complimentary not derogatory) Gonna tap em on the shoulders and tell em to stop skipping arm day, the upper body is important too!

📻 🗯 We're playing a nonstop block of HARD ROCK for all of you thrashers and smashers out there with the HARDEST HEADS and the HARDEST DICKS. Don't blame us if the neighbors CALL THE COPS cuz the KIDS like their music LOUD! Next up—from their 1996 self-titled album—here's Sublime with "What I Got"

Kind of nuts that I haven't seen any of the people who believe in the (current, not future) viability of generative AI to make quality films, aren't feeding their engines scripts, casting notes, set photos, and any other materials related to old films that have become lost media.*

Some #GlitterGuts pics from the DEAD CITY ODDITIES MARKET at Logan Square Auditorium

Took some #GlitterGuts pics at Salt Shed's ELSTON SKATE CLUB rollerskating party and an Elvis impersonator wandered in. Good times

"And Moby? You can get stomped by Obie blow me You don't know me, you're too old, let go It's over, nobody listens to techno" — Dave Davies (The Kinks)

I can't believe that both of the creators of Sandman are dead. RIP Sam Kieth

Having the worst string of luck the last couple weeks BUT it's St Patrick's Day, and a beautiful ginger just gave me a smile and some extended direct eye contact for what bordered on a creepy amount of time, so maybe my luck's about to change ☘️ 💰 🌈

It’s not a plot hole that Elmo has been 3 years old for 50 years. He was bitten by The Count, willingly. Elmo asked for the Dark Gift

STOP THE VIOLANCE 🗨🐢

Failing to make friends with some parking lot geese. Did you know that they can hiss defensively?

I think I was on the charming side of "insane autistic" me at a party last week. I told one friend that I ran into her Loyola college roommate from 20+ years ago, and another person that I remembered him from his band that broke up like 15 years ago.

Some GlitterGuts portraits from last month's Nocturna at the Metro

Great exchange at the neighborhood liquor store: SECURITY GUARD: This ain't a church, so y'all can't be congregating. GUY WITH NO CHILL: I'm not a fuckin Christian, bitch! SECURITY GUARD: You...... still gotta go.

There's no polite way to ask but I really wanna know if the guy loading groceries into the back of an ATV is the funnest motherfucker on the block... or just some guy with too many DUIs to drive a regular car.

Four firetrucks and assorted police just swarmed my block and they were NOT pleased that the emergency turned out to be my neighbors burning garbage in their yard

Rented a copy of QUACKBUSTERS (1989) because something reminded me of the song "Monsters Lead Such Interesting Lives", sung by Daffy Duck with Mel Tormé's voice. ✅️ This sequence was such a BANGER, especially the recurring Human Fly bit youtu.be/nGYJtI37Y7M?...

Driving west on 290 with flurries of snow falling on all the cars in my rearview, but none hitting my windshield or visible in front of me. Thinking: I'm either slightly outrunning a stormcloud, and that's cool.... or I'm hallucinating, which would be concerning.

Coming soon to glitterguts.com (I love working with this fabric but I haven't for years because it's more expensive per yard than I can usually justify, and it needs a lot of steaming, but look how it catches light!)

Pretty sure I went to a rave there called Burning Chocolate in 2005. All I remember is that the chillout room had an electric violinist accompanying the dj and also that a journalist I was feuding with kept flashing me

What could go wrong using AI to help stage a few listing photos?

RIP Bud Cort. Hard to pinpoint how exactly a movie could have changed my life going forward, but I'm pretty sure I'm 4-7% more of a kind and patient person for having seen it when I did. 👇 classic over-the-top, hand painted Ghanaian movie poster by Heavy J

ONCE AGAIN thinking about Gorilla Television, the signal pirates who used to interrupt Muppet broadcasts on The Jim Henson Hour in 1989

I was hoping the Muppet special would have Paul Williams pop in for a bit because 1) he wrote so many of the Muppets' classic songs 2) after seeing her duet with Paul Simon, I want to see Sabrina Carpenter next to all the tiny men who wrote beautiful songs in the '70s

Outside the goth show at the repurposed meatpacking plant that now does sustainable farming (I 🖤 Chicago so much)

Can't believe this motherfucker STOOD UP to steal my tamale

WEIRDER FAMILY FILM INDUSTRIAL MUSIC MOMENT In RANGO, Hans fucking Zimmer mixes the Lard song "Forkboy" into the score, in a chaotic scene ending in a Fear & Loathing cameo. The band LARD is Ministry + Jello Biafra. It's like 1 minute tailor made for teenage me 😵‍💫 youtu.be/nl4xd2GeVVk?...

Does anyone doing community defense in an ICE hot spot need money for printing zines/know your rights cards? Or would you like a box of professionally printed KYR cards? We can accommodate both. For boxes of cards we’d want to do volume though, like 5000+

Work decided not to open and give everybody a paid day off because the temps were hitting double digit negative numbers and then at home my furnace stopped working. Sometimes you just can't get a fucking win.

Two friends I knew for over twenty years from different punk communities in Chicago passed this week. I was kinda dealing with the first a couple days later and I am not ready at all for the second

seems as good a time as any to mention that i’ll be taking portraits for Wikipedia next week at Sundance, let me know if you’ll be there, come visit me at the portrait studio (or invite me to a fancy premiere) www.eventbrite.com/e/wikiportra...

There's a raccoon on the side of the highway looking so peaceful, head resting on his little paw. I'd like to believe he died naturally, climbing down to the shoulder of the road to watch the lights whip past for one last time

Me at 26 vs me in '26 Left was a New Years party at the Members Only loft. Justice did a dj set after their Congress Theater show. The cartoon cutout backdrop was done by Melt Right was a test shot for a headshot shoot at Turf Design (Both by @oo0oo.bsky.social for GlitterGuts, obvz)

Started my first (prose) book of 2026 PRIMAL SCREAMER by Nick Blinko

Watching the Muppet Movie and yearning to go to the dirtbag saloon where a flirty 1979 Madeline Kahn and 1979 Carol Kane are hanging out at the bar, and 1979 Paul Williams is jamming out on stage.. Honestly it seems pretty fuckin easy being green.

Felt like a lot of HOT YOUNG BABES in their late 30s were hitting on me tonight, but I had to shut that shit down. As a distinguished gentleman of 43, I can't fw an age gap that wide and problematic. Plus I just don't want to deal with all that youthful drama.

The two genders

It's weird when people i don't even know take a significant role in my dreams. It's like my subconscious is introducing a whole new wacky cast of characters for a backdoor pilot.

Every social media app should have an option for an "I'm in public" feed. Like I don't want the thirst traps and porn to go away. I just don't want them popping up when I'm scrolling on the bus or at the gym and there's people all around.

Fran Drescher as Bobbi Flekman in THIS IS SPINAL TAP (1984), SPINAL TAP II (2025), and in an episode of The Nanny (1997) where she gets to meet..... Fran Drescher as Fran Fine What a fucking goddess and forever crush

There was a super run down house I used to pass every day on the schoolbus and we'd trade "information" on how it was haunted or inhabited by witches or murderers. Razed years ago and I'm sad I'll never see a picture if it, because what're the odds anyone photograph it and upload it years later?

When I was a boy, the WEEKLY Reader was half as thick as a phone book and came in four volumes, with two sections devoted to art and music and one full of alt comix. I will never forgive Craigslist for eating up all the apartment rental, personals, and sex work ads that were keeping it afloat!

Why are some of the "wackiest" most fun episodes of X-Files also so, so tragic? Rewatched these two bangers last night

Eighth night, baybeee

Getting tattooed and Hall & Oates "Out of Touch" came on and all three tattooeers in the room started singing along
