photo of the gold headdress ornament and its gallery label on display at museum: “Moche artist (s); North Coast, Peru Headdress ornament 200-800 CE Gold The Michael C. Rockefeller Memorial Collection, Bequest of Nelson A. Rockefeller, 1979 (1979.206.1151) Recorded provenance: CDO Collection, Zurich, by 1964; Galerie Koller, Zurich, 1964; André Emmerich Gallery, New York,1964-65; Nelson A. Rockefeller, New York, 1965, on loan to the MPA, 1965-78 Created by cutting and embossing a hammered gold sheet, this ornament would have been sewn on a turbanlike headdress. It was likely attached to the cloth through the two pairs of holes above and below the central image-the face of a snarling feline with prominent fangs. Surrounded by two downward-facing birds of prey, the feline itself wears a crescent-shaped headdress, a marker of high, perhaps even divine, status.”

Babylon 5 really hits its stride in the second season. I’d watched it as a kid but I definitely didn’t understand a lot of the nuanced interpersonal character building. Everyone is acting their heart out with such sincerity. It’s a masterclass in 90s era television.

Fuuuuuuck you’re right

Gay man once again in the mirror, about to hop in the shower. Bush forward, monochromatic b&w.

My parents named me after the bowl-cut companion from this story who was famously hated by fans. I remember watching this as a kid and thinking “I killed the dinosaurs,” which uhhh… wasn’t great.

Gay man on the couch shirtless, staring at the ceiling and contemplating how much he reeks (be grateful you can’t smell him). Bookshelf with ephemera behind him.

6 mile walk before 11am and I smell like it 🥴

Forgot to share the reference this was inspired by. Just incredible accuracy and creativity, all in one.

Golden Gate Bridge at sunset, a shipping container lumbering along underneath. Marin Headlands carve out the amber haze at the edge of the sky.

Decided to watch the sunset

Ornate slate gray looking building, cast in afternoon golden light, dark shadows licking at the edge. Lone street lamp.
