Finished our seasonal viewing of pirated pirated pirated (i.e., pixelated to hell) mini-eps of this gem on YouTube. Posh Nosh, 2003. Maybe someday the #bbc will make it available streaming, at least. This is content I would pay for, gladly!! #poshnosh #richardegrant #arabellaweir

"We are all here on earth to help each other, but what the others are here for, God only knows." - W.H. Auden

Tumblr adbot *really* gets me. (Can you guess which item I actually looked for at one point?) (And, hey, at least they aren't showing sexualized under-age girls like before!)

Here’s my Spotify Wrapped 🎵✨

I went and checked out the revamped Portland Art Museum today. The Rick Bartow show slapped - he's a favorite of mine. Lost in the rehang may have been some late 19th c euro (non-impressionist) stuff that is my cup-of-tea, but understandable in trying to get other work represented. ...(1/1)

In today's mail... Vintage vinyl ... 1983 ... Trevor Herion forever. A voice gone too soon. #musicismyboyfriend #trevorherion

Hi.

Today's bop. The Civilians, 1978 #trevorherion #hanszimmer youtu.be/1zqVeus0Jz0?...

When I was 16 or 17, Lene Lovich played the Pterodactyl Club in Charlotte, and I was underage and car-less as far as making it happen. Tomorrow night she's playing the Alberta Rose Theatre (PDX), and I'm excited to aright that earlier injustice. ✨🎵✨

"Champagne Poetry Patisserie" is an actual place, I learned yesterday. #pdxnow #pdxburns #pdxchaos

The Yoshida Chizuko (Japanese, 1924-2017) show at @portlandartmuseum.bsky.social is worth a visit!

Can't we just get healthcare

The "chaos" in Portland right now. Some basement organizing and cleaning, spreading outside into the garden.😵‍💫 #portlandrightnow

Finally grabbed this book on my wishlist from a saunter through Powell's yesterday. Gilbert Adrian, along with Edith Head and Orry Kelly, was one of Hollywood's great 20th-century costume designers. Gay, his lavender marriage of many years to Janet Gaynor fooled few. #fashionsky

Andrew Bird and Patrick Wolf shows within the same week - yes, please! I don't go to shows often as the anxiety of parking and too many people makes me want to just stay home. But once these guys started their thing, I forgot all about that and gave in to their magic.🎵✨🎵 #musicsky

Six-hour road trip ahead, and I am ready. 💿💿💿 (The world is shit, but the music plays on.) 🎵💖🎵 #musicsky #recentacquisitions #saintetienne #bloodorange #suede @suedehq.bsky.social #johnfoxx #alisongoldfrapp #CMAT @cmatbaby.bsky.social #enniomorricone #quinquis #patrickwolf

🎵Armani - Armani - Ahr-Ahr-Ahrmani🎵 (Pet Shop Boys reference ) RIP Giorgio, who literally never sold out. A favorite campaign era being the usage of faves Stella Tennant (totes RIP) and Patrick Petijean in the 90s. #letmegetalewk #fashionsky

GF apple rum rustic tart experiment came out lovely and delicious, especially with vanilla ice cream. #entertaining #cooking

Time for Bible study in the garden! Also, selfie. Discovered this book in a browse of Unabridged books in Chicago. Didn't buy it as it looked intriguing but maybe too pretentious? (And I LOVE pretension.) I then checked it out from my library back home, fell in love with it, and bought my own copy..

Mid-summer garden action.

Weekend garden picks.

As a fan of Louis Hofmann and Fionn O'Shea, I reluctantly got around to watching this what-i-knew-would-be-disturbing 2024 release. Indeed, more triggering than an A24 flick, jeebus! I enjoyed the idyllic beauty of the flashbacks (that cottage!✨), but the rest was . . . A LOT. Also: not going back.

Y'all can have your pop girlies (Jesus, the way T-Swift was pushed in all my algorithms this past week.😡)... I'll be over here in camp Goldfrapp/Robyn/IAMAMIWHOAMI forever when it comes to dance pop divas.👴🏻🎶 #musicismyboyfriend

What does it all mean, if anything?

Happy birthday, Kate. *Hounds of Love* is still, after all these years, my DESERT ISLAND DISC.

Source: Chicago Tribune search.app/8X9Zt This is behind a paywall, but I can imagine the point it brings up. When this show was previously mounted at the #museedorsay and the #getty in LA, it was titled "Painting Men". But the #chicagoartinstitute decided that was "too much" in this political era.

Somewhere between elegance and disheveled professorial slash day-in-the-country bohemianism is always my sartorial goal. #thelasthomosexuals

Absolutely an amazing exhibition. To be in the presence of creative tokens left by our queer forebears was a palpable feeling. #wrightwood659 #thefirsthomosexuals
