Doug Paul Case - Like The Weight Was Part Of Me
Can I be afraid I was a twin and didn’t know
Its rationality is my concern rather than believability
Even with a mirror there’s no way to see your face
How everything glimmers under enough fireflies
Two men in a clearing is a city
Just weeks ago there were wildflowers forever
The breeze-blown magnolia is my favorite phase of matter
Water on the verge of boiling a close second
What a night for spiked hot chocolate
What a night for the weight of experience
What a night for Baltic salt and rare...

But how choose the appropriate sticking point to start at?

Anohni - Paradise
Paradise
World without end
Hopelessness
Sinks into the earth
Crying Life
Kaleidoscope
Hopelessness
The shifting beauty
My mother's love
Her gentle touch
My father's hand
Rests on my throat
Hopelessness
I'm here, not here
As a point
of Consciousness
Staring at myself
I feel giant and trapped
Seemingly
Without escape
I'm stuffed inside
My eternity
I'm here, not here
As a point of consciousness

Ryan James Caruthers
From i-D Magazine:
Photographer Ryan James Caruthers loves a man in heels. In his minimalist images (you can usually count the colors on one hand), he captures the softness of queer masculinity. "My aesthetic is very much about subtlety," he says. "Even if the work isn't directly discussing queerness, these ideas always end up presenting themselves as hints." He began experimenting with analog photography at 14, taking self-portraits in the woods near his childhood home and posting th...

Springsteen on Dylan
Bob Dylan is the father of my country. Highway 61 Revisited and Bringing It All Back Home were not only great records, but they were the first time I can remember being exposed to a truthful vision of the place I lived. The darkness and light were all there, the veil of illusion and deception ripped aside. He put his boot on the stultifying politeness and daily routine that covered corruption and decay. The world he described was all on view, in my little town, and spread out over the televi...
