Jul 16, 2026

I was supposed to go kayaking tonight bur the air is still smokey and yellow so here we are, doing my substack homework.

* ~July’s Picnic Punk is up ~*

Episode 2 of Jill’s House of Rock is up. Pictured is Jill and Edy dancing with neighbor Diane.

NTS supporter mix of what I was listening to at 15. The first half is a needle drop of a mix cd Kelli made that we would listen to in her mom’s ford explorer (pictured below once it became her car). I perhaps took this a bit too literally.

Oh and also The Smarthearts video Ali and I made is out! Quite some time later!

My nieces and their film cameras at Christmas accidentally double exposed over Julia with a potato in their overalls. Hopefully this is the last roll of false starts from my series of camera problems last year.

Last heat wave (sans wildfire smoke) I went to Orchard Beach.

Devin got flown out by Princeton and we went to Wegman’s

Kate had a great outfit when we went to Medieval Times for Michelles birthday.

A sliver of my accountant’s “multi-cultural barbie” collection.

The only pictures I took at Twinks vs Dolls

Whitley about to drive the cargo van through TSQ

The film looks insane but it kind of perfectly captures the feeling of leaving a 12 hr shoot directly into this chaos. A feeling I have experienced a number of times over the last 10+ yrs.

Ali is an amazing collaborator and friend she has been lifting and is getting swole <3

Midwestern bright green relish- always an honor to learn about other cultures.

The night the Knicks won on Knickerbocker Ave the flags were updated for the Puerto Rican parade the next morning.

& two Knicks made a surprise appearance on Knickerbocker! The mayor was happy to be there, second time I saw him that week.

Michelle and Xena

Life World celebrated their first birthday at the new space, complete with some exciting new features like a fresh bulletin board, ATM, a sink outside the bathroom, and a handcrafted bar. Amazing that you can have skills like woodworking.
