Today I saw the best example of a mature Hedera helix (english ivy). The vine everyone knows is actually the juvenile form, which the plant will keep until it finds an appropriate host tree. BTW, never plant this invasive pest. It destroys native #landscapes , and is unmanageable. #gardening #Garden

I was worried the combo of clematis and hibiscus in a container wouldn’t work, but so far so good. The real test will be the DC summer! #Garden #flowers #balconygarden

Tonight’s haul from #Garden : Two tubs of greens, a handful of radishes, and a handful of strawberries.

This is a fantastic breakdown of mainstream/centrist-liberal transphobia. Clearly, The New York Times has *a lot* to answer for. #Trans #Queer #lgbtq

You're Wrong About: We Need to Talk About the New York Times with Tuck Woodstock on Apple Podcasts
“What if you were writing a profile on someone named Janet and I was your editor, and I was like, ‘I’m sorry, for balance, find someone who wants to kill Janet’?” This week, Tuck Woodstock, host of Gender Reveal, takes us on a journey through the New York Times’ coverage of trans issues—and in the e..

My responses to everything from now on will be 1) I guess I agree, but I hate it OR 2) Die mad.

I don’t believe in god, but I woke up singing the theme to DIFF’RENT STROKES…so there is a hell, right?

This is the intro + ending (from the first season) mixed in a way that sounds like one single song. I didn't use the entire two version as it would sound for...

One of my husband’s crows is keeping an eye on me…again.

Spent the morning in the #Garden thinning seedlings and mulching potatoes. It’s a lovely, meditative activity—until I realize I’m the only one in the allotment *and* I just listened to a #truecrime podcast.

Adventures in #gardening (#Terrace Edition): We spent Sunday tackling the balcony #Garden . Planted some peppers and flowers. Roberto built a feeder for the crows. Even sifted two giant bags of worm #compost ! We may have started late, but we are definitely catching up!

Unseen Classic Film 16/52: Alain Resnais’s LAST YEAR AT MARIENBAD (1961)
The most art house-iest of art house films, this movie has been called a masterpiece & derided as pretentious nonsense. Understandable, since LYAM takes everything we expect from a movie and makes them entirely unfamiliar.

For #Queer people, this whole effort has been so transparent and craven, a literal repeat of the gay marriage panic of the early 2000’s. That mainstream and centrist media and Democrats fell for it—again—is why we don’t trust straight people to safeguard our human rights.

First Time Watch: THE MANITOU (1978)
A woman’s tumor is actually the fetus of an evil Native “medicine man.” This should be the trippiest, goriest #grind house splat fest since EATEN ALIVE. Instead, it’s just a really racist, sexist, & ableist episode of QUINCY MD. Stuart Gordon, save us. #horror

I’m a couple of weeks late getting to the allotment, but we managed to clean it and plant it in two days. Not sure what the #Garden will produce before the summer veggies have to go in, but who knows anything! #gardening #organic

I can’t stop thinking about the weirdest part of ESCAPE TO WITCH MOUNTAIN (1975) in which Donald Pleasance sits at a fancy dinner with expensive china eats a whole, unpeeled, uncooked apple.

I thought that little cold snap DC had last week might have done them in, but the arugula that I plant in old turkey tins is looking good! #Garden #greenthumb #balconygarden #urbangarden

Last night, I fell asleep playing No Man’s Sky right in the middle of running to my space ship. When I woke up, I’d run off a cliff and into a lake.
This is also a metaphor.

I don’t watch awards show (last night we watched POKER FACE instead of the Oscars), but I do love the discourse after. It’s like listening to David Attenborough describe the mating dance of a Central American scarlet termite—arcane, fascinating, and inconsequential.

I’m quickly becoming the kind of guy who’s gonna stop voting for Democrats until they have and pursue a long-term plan to save American democracy—ie, make DC a state, expand SCOTUS, etc.
Shit or ship off. Dems.

“Ukrainians can no longer wait for equality,” she wrote. “We must do it immediately. LGBT Ukrainians deserve to have a family. Every day can be their last. Just like for any other Ukrainian. There is no time for hesitation. Let’s legalise same-sex partnerships in Ukraine this year.”

Sometimes the news is so dire I don’t want to get out of bed. And then there are days when Matt Taibbi gets in front of a camera and melts like a Peep in the microwave.

There’s a question floating on Twitter re: programming a film festival around the theme of heroes. Here’s mine. Real life; real heroes.
1. The Times of Harvey Milk
2. Paris Is Burning
3. I Am Not Your Negro
4. Word Is Out
5. Common Threads
If you want to learn a little queer history, it’s

Oh look. The anti-trans moral panic was manufactured by right wing activists, with the support of NYT, The New Yorker, The Atlantic, etc.
