[sagehaubitze]

I just realized I've never made a pinned post on here. So hello, I'm Sage (they/them/it), and this is a pinned post. Here you'll find:

• Photography (sometimes)! Older works post every Tuesday and Thursday. New photography gets posted at random like a shotgun blast of whatever I felt like shooting recently.

• Secret interests™! Including/not limited to meteorology, birds & bugs (extinct & non), milhist, kink.

• Gay stuff.

Personal tags are simply #photography (for photography) and #text (usually phone photos and rambling snippits.)

Been working on making my leatherworking toolbox cringe as hell, because life's too short to pretend you're not into some weird shit.

going on HRT is a serious decision you should make with the utmost gravity. people might think you're cool, badass even. You might find yourself happy with your life, approaching the world with newfound wisdom one way or another. It might be what you want. It might get you off. It might just be a cool story to tell people. I, myself, found the initial experience was like I had sleepwalked through a nightmare for a quarter century - and for the first time, not just the first time I could remember but actually the first time, I was awake, and the sun was shining, and the world was beautiful. So obviously all of those are risks

Maurice Sendak (1928–2012), regarded as the 20th century’s most important children’s book illustrator, was born in Brooklyn to Polish-Jewish immigrants. His ill health as a child and the loss of relatives to the Holocaust impacted his work, with his obituary in the New York Times noting that he “wrenched the picture book out of the safe, sanitized world of the nursery and plunged it into the dark, terrifying and hauntingly beautiful recesses of the human psyche.” His big break came in the early 1950s, when renowned children’s book editor Ursula Nordstrom, of Harper & Row, hired him to illustrate children’s books after seeing the window displays he created for F.A.O. Schwarz. Nordstrom went on to be his most significant collaborator. By the mid-1950s, Sendak began writing and illustrating his own books. While living in a duplex apartment (basement and ground floor) at 29 West 9th Street in Greenwich Village, where he moved in 1962, he completed the text and illustrations for his best-selling picture book, Where the Wild Things Are (1963). His family in Brooklyn inspired the story for the book, which earned Sendak the prestigious Caldecott Medal in 1964. A selection of other books that Sendak worked on from his 9th Street art studio include The Animal Family (1965; illustrations only), Higglety Pigglety Pop! (1967), and In the Night Kitchen (1970). He also served as an early member of the National Board of Advisors for the Children’s Television Workshop, which was then developing Sesame Street (1969-present); Sendak’s Bumble Ardy (1970) and three other animated stories appeared on the show. In 1970, he became the first American to win the Hans Christian Andersen Medal for illustrators.

His 9th Street art studio, connected to the kitchen-dining room by a long, narrow corridor, was described as “small, dark, nestlike and thronged with books, records, drawings and artifacts” in a 1970 New York Times article. The only light in the room hung above his drawing board. The article calls Sendak a “42-year-old bachelor” and mentions his “friend,” psychoanalyst Eugene Glynn, who was actually his life partner (the couple lived together for 50 years, until Glynn’s death in 2007). Towards the end of his life, Sendak acknowledged that he had kept his homosexuality hidden from his parents and the public, knowing that bias toward him being a gay man working in children’s literature would have negatively affected his budding career. In 1972, Sendak (with Glynn) moved to Ridgefield, Connecticut, where he lived until his death. President Bill Clinton presented him with the National Medal of Arts in 1996. The Maurice Sendak Collection, which includes original artwork, books, and other items, was donated to the University of Connecticut in 2018. (Full article)

Today was Flak's birthday, the big one one, eleven years! Little grumpy old-ass man.

Dug in the dirt some, harassed some people, got a peanut butter chess pie baked for him... I'd say he can't complain, but he can, he will definitely find something to complain about. (but he likes complaining too, so he can't really complain about that either)

Can’t stop thinking about this 236 mile long theoretical PDF. Talked about it on the phone with my friend earlier. PDF longer than the country of Belgium. Forbidden yet technically fully supported 236 mile long PDF. I’m obsessed.
