It's hard enough to get people out to vote, then it's another thing when people vote stupid. This rant is about Debra Messing of all people. Democrat Debra Messing came out and is endorsing Republican gubernatorial candidate in NY state over sitting Dem governor Kathy Hochul. Why? Because she's a Zionist who may well care more about Israel than this country. She says in the article I read that we need to elect Blakeman because NY is so unaffordable. But when did Republicans, especially in this administration, make things more affordable?? They're in office now and almost everything is less affordable.
Messing is a perfect example of radical in the middle, since the radical middle is devoted to electing pro-Israel politicians and continuing mass murder. Will she also be supporting JD Vance in 2028? The somewhat psycho actress has called the current NYC mayor "American-hating jihadist", nicknaming him " Osama bin Mamdani." She also claims that Hochul has been wishy washy on Israel, even though that isn't true unless you're an Israel First voter. And the NY Post: "but Messing's endorsement of Blakeman is still quite a turnabout after she drew backlash and was accused of McCarthyism for wanting to shame donors who attended a Beverly Hills fundraiser for Republican Trump in 2019."
Now, she's campaigning with the very sort of Republican she recently sought to expose. No core values except." Let Israel keep killing its neighbors." When Megan Mullally, who played Karen Walker on the same show, stopped talking to her, we all should have immediately clocked who the problem was. So the least funny person on Will and Grace wants a MAGA governor for New York...to make Israel better? Why doesn't she just, I don't know, move to Israel?
A fun project just if time for the season! Clan member Preston was here recently doing still photography for another friend of mine who owns Karma Nightclub. The jist, was to capture creepy, blackout drag silhouettes that will be used for the Halloween promos for the club, marketing and such. They turned out pretty cool...I just received them.
How bad can Monday be this week? I got to sleep in because I have a half day. And the winds of change seems to be bringing in autumn. Some trees are turning already. Today almost feels like a typical autumn day, which now since October is here will bring back much horror movies viewing and getting a few Hallows touches out in the Casa. Hell, after Friday's nights blow out in the previous post, I felt like the living dead on Saturday. And I'm not about to complain about sleeping. It's been heavenly the last few weeks, with the windows wide open.
I don't know where the weekend went. Yes I do. Friday night was spent starting the weekend at a happy hour to celebrate my longtime dear friend Vera Charles's 60th birthday, which turned into a drag show with hometown girl Stormy Sky and a very late night. The Mistress didn't even arise till yesterday till 2:00pm. When Ms Moorecock came into drawn the curtains I said, "How can you see with all the light?" Then some time spent in the garden cleaning up dead blooms and the start of some fallen leaves. Today, it's overcast and a misty day and lunch with a friend. Here is a snippet of tidbits on my mind of late and some things of interest that caught my attention.
Tickets have been secured for the Arias with a Twist show for my own birthday plans. I've been a longtime fan of Joey Arias, one of the most creative queens in NYC in my opinion and can sing like Billie Hoilday extremely well. Now Joey is back for a curtain call in this theatrical return engagement with a blend of cabaret, puppetry and performance art. The show includes the diva herself along with master puppeteer Basil Twist. The plot? A madcap surreal journey where performer Joey Arias is kidnapped by aliens, navigates a psychedelic trip, and returns to New York to perform with a puppet big band. Yep, sounds about right for Joey.
Meanwhile in San Antonio TX, the city council approved a memorial street be named after drag performer and legendary pageant queen Erica Andrews, who we sadly lost years back.
I first heard the news from her drag daughter Roxxxy Andrews when we crossed paths in Ptown. Now the good news is the city council passed it! Might not sound like huge news, but for a street to be named after a drag queen, in Texas of all places, in a nice step. One of the council members considered Andrews a trailblazer and provided visibly for trans people. She is about the fifth queen I know of to have a named street after her, along with Sylvia Rivera, Swann Street in DC, Jose Sarria in CA, and Bianca Paige, of Nashville, who was incidentally the first queen to have the honor of a street named after her.
The human race is responsible. The northern white rhino is now on the brink of extinction. It is very sad to read that out loud, to see a species go extinct. Only two females now survive on the entire plant. An entire species reduced to its last two living beings, doomed to disappear, with no surviving males. For decades these animals have been victims of killing and poaching and trafficked just for their horns. The two females, Najin and Fatu are living and under 24-hour armed guard because of bastards.
Meanwhile in India, their beloved tigresses Collarwall passed on at 16 and a mother who gave birth to 29 cubs in her life. The tiger played a remarkable role in the huge growth of the tiger population in Pench and became a symbol of successful wildlife conservation and was almost revered as the Queen of Pench. Her final farewell was marked with flowers and traditional rituals, as the city citizens and forest officials gathered to pay tribute to a tigress who left an extraordinary legacy.
Speaking of great mammals. The whale watch from Ptown. Great catch of the whales, a great moment caught on the boat with their nice music... with exception to the loudmouth next to me.
While on vacation, I saw snippets of news, the bullshit continues...the wars, the stupidity of the administration, tearing up of the legendary cherry blossoms, the threat of tearing down the Kennedy Center, stripping laws to protect endangered species and the rounding up and selling off of wild horses, to the Dump and the Wrestling Queen formally rescinding Biden era regulations, removing explicit federal protection for LGBTQ students from the regulatory text. They reinstated the dumps stricter guidelines from his first term, where they only see sex as male or female at birth. And it will also let the whole LGBT student body be discriminated at. Yes, I still hate more than ever the convicted felon, rapist, casino-bankrupting binge baron, reality tv game show host, war and court dodger, this microwaved circus peanut looking idiot, this hell spawned hemorrhoid, half-witted heat miser, that sultan of self-worship, that crusty, clammy, neck folded cheesy scented crybaby toddler. Does that answer your question?
Speaking of wigs like the Dumps...
And the friend and neighbor I had lunch with brought me a bounty of his fresh eggs from his chickens.
