Just a perfect cast. Perfect eps. I love it.

Have you been watching Strange New Worlds? Im generally not a Trek fan (movies, yeah, but not as much the shows) and I'm absolutely in love with SNW.

Sad that it's coming to a close.

book cover for INDELIBLE IDENTITIES 01: A QUEER HISTORY OF TATTOOING. it features a tattoo design of a swallow (bird) and heart, with the word QUEER in the banner. The author is Shawn Porter.

In August I gave a lecture on the under-documented influence of queer tattoo artists & collectors in modern (1950s-1980s) tattooing.

This book covers the introduction & tattooer/pornographer JD of TRASH fame.

Im not sure it got a proper release; I think it was exclusive to HULU. But we made it happen ;)

Prey on the big screen is pretty great.

That was the war criminal who shot a dude in the face, right? But what does this tell us about Biden's mental state??? You're dropping the ball, CNN.

Made a new flash painting. I’d love to tattoo any of these 😍

Larry Copeland hosted a gathering of tattoo and piercing fans at his Hoboken, NJ residence in 1974/5.

Dave Slack was a queer tattoo artist who worked in NYC in the 1970s/80s. He appeared in the legendary gay xxx video "NYC INFERNO" (playing a tattoo artist).

This clip, recorded in approx 1974/5, also features Emil Gundelach, Larry Copeland, Key Meyer, and Spider Webb.

It'll be playing in Philly. Well worth seeing on the big screen!

A picture of a tattoo of Betty Boop. She is entirely comprised of bombs, swords, guns, pills and blood. All things the artist associates with America.

Im seeing it tomorrow. HUGE Tron fan, but yeah man- the Leto thing has me just hoping that it at least looks cool in 3D

I was a bar GM for a decade or so and can confirm. After a long shift of babysitting annoying drunks, we'd always relax with a couple five cocktails.

Updates: Despite covering the nudity, this got a nudity tag here on Bluesky, and the uncensored pic was flagged on patreon as pornography. I appealed there and won, since it's NOT pornography, but since Bluesky's CEO is starting to go "full Musk" I'll likely not win the appeal here.

On Aug 16th, I gave the first in a series of lectures on the under documented history of Queer Tattooing. We covered a basic primer on some of the early (1960s-80s) queer tat pioneers, then dug into cruising culture documentarian/tattooer John Dagion.

This book serves as a lecture companion...

I travel with a little monster called "Sailor Beebo" which isn't a bear but does make me sleep better in hotels.

A letter from Robert Roberts to Shawn Porter, 1997. The letter talks about their meeting at a tattoo convention, and a desire to talk via phone.
