Children's librarian, Michelle Royer, with 2 of the Summer Reading participants. The children's department will receive the proceeds of the Outback Steakhouse Fundraiser on September 29th for new technology. Maybe they'll be able to purchase it to use in next summer's reading program.
Thrilled to have been able to present "DRAG IS LIFE IS ART", a multi-media installation featuring video work from my “Life is Drag” project at SATELLITE Art Show in Williamsburg, Brooklyn (June, 2024).
I showcased a curated selection of "Life is Drag" video portraits (performance documentation) in 4K on a 75" monitor as well as lifeisdrag.com (the official online archive - the largest living digital archive in the world) on an adjacent laptop.
In addition, I curated a drag brunch on the final day of the fair, showcasing the best of the best performers from the Brooklyn art-drag scene - who in turn also exhibited their art at the fair in conjunction with my DRAG IS LIFE IS ART installation:
Esther the Bipedal Entity!, Paris L'Hommie, Amygdala, Linda Felcher and X-Emma (among others, Brooklyn, NY) presented 'Drag is Visual', a constellation of original works from some of the most compelling NYC drag artists featured in Rachel Rampleman's 'Life is Drag' project.

*Maddy has been ADOPTED!!
Maddy came into the shelter when her owners were no longer able to care for her. She is a wonderful kitty who is looking for a calm and quiet environment to call her home. Maddy was not very pleased with sharing her last home with a dog and therefore should definitely live in a canine free home and may be happiest as the one and only pet overall. When she is relaxed and in a stress free home, Maddy is a delightful kitty to have around. She's sweet and cuddly and a real snuggle bug. She also enjoys her playtime and is lots of fun to interact with. She's a real catch!
i'm at the Oakville Humane Society in Oakville, Ontario, Canada.
Please contact the shelter for more info:
please adopt from your local animal shelter.
recycled pets are the best!
November 2008
I've never been able to give blood because ... wait for it... i've never weighed enough! I might faint if I gave blood even with the proper weight, so I would have to find some other way to contribute to the saving of lives anyway! Several of my friends have volunteered heavily with the American Red Cross, and I've just found out that the German Red Cross is the third largest in the world. Along with its medical service units, the GRC also provides "Sozialarbeit" and "Jugendrotkreuz" -- welfare work and Red Cross Youth. This picture was taken in Berlin Alexanderplatz just outside of the train station. I was drawn to the sign because of the design, simple type with the universally recognized symbol (although I have known people to get it confused with the Swiss Flag, ahemmm, maybe be ;-)). Strength in design though, don't you think?
I've never been able to grow tomatoes successfully. This year I'm trying 5 varieties in 1.5 gal containers. Here's what they look like the first week. The Seattle's Best of All is supposed to be a good performing slicer around here. The Sungold is a tasty little orange cherry that I'm told should do well. Also pictured is some perilla or shiso. It's a very flavorful basilly plant. Thought I'd give it a try as well.
