Fugazi all all all day.

i have indeed been listening to Fugazi all day today.

and there’s something about this performance in particular that continues to blow my mind. it was part of an anti-war protest in Lafayette Park, in front of the White House, in 1991, a few days before the first invasion of Iraq, and i cannot imagine such a thing being allowed to happen now. nor can i imagine any other bands trying.

This is fun to watch and think about where I was in 1991. Also: Fugazi rules.
(I was in 2nd grade. Miss Adcock’s class; she hated me.)

Admittedly, this blog and its maintainer have eclectic tastes. "Eclectic," as you might suspect, is a nice way of saying that there is very little intertwining theme to any of this. If you end up liking some (or most) of the things I like, you might find that wondrous. At least I hope that is the case. In less subtle language, a few of the things you might see here: coffee/barista nerdery, androgyny and gender-bending, gender studies in general, feminist theory, sex-positive imagery, photography and art of varying medium and subject, cat-related anything as well as my own feline friend, owls, tattoos, self-portraiture, nakedness, intermittent music of the people I love, writing, books, flea markets and thrift stores, Frida Kahlo, Patti Smith, anything related to my city of Philadelphia, and the sporadic, enjoyable internet meme I cannot resist. But I'll try to keep that last one to a minimum. I seek to post only items which are credited to the originator, be it fine art, photography, tattoos, or writing. If you see something uncredited, do feel free to point it out to me. Also: ask anything. But, uh, do be nice about it if you can.
