“—and then each year, one summer morning, the warm wind would come down the city street where she walked and she would be touched with the little cold thought: I have let more time go by.”

Demi Moore was robbed! I know. I'm biased. But, she delivered, award or not.

This scene in the bathroom getting ready for the date? Gutted. It felt so personal. As if everything in the movie is a metaphorical fever dream, but this one moment is real, like she's lucid just long enough for us to see where the nightmare is coming from.

And Sue is the hot pink nightmare. She's like the validation Elisabeth will never have. Always just out of reach. Terrorizing her. I drew Sue's hand extended out to blow a kiss but, simultaneously, Elisabeth is literally in the palm of her hand.

I worked with Mutant and Mubi to put this movie poster together for 'The Substance.' Thanks to AD Eric Garza! The poster is an 18”x24”, 10-color screenprint. Edition of 135. Available now in the Mutant shop.

if you don't do anything else today,

Please have a moment of silence for the people who were killed instead of freed when news of emancipation finally reached the furthest corners of the american south.

have another moment for the ledgers, catalogs, and records that were burned and the homes that were destroyed to hide the presence of very much alive and still enslaved people on dozens of plantations and homesteads across the south for decades after emancipation.

and have a third moment for those who were hunted and killed while fleeing the south to find safety across the border, overseas, in the north and to the west.

black people. light a candle, write a note to those who have passed telling them what you have achieved in spite of the racist and intolerant conditions of this world, feel the warmth of the flame under your hand, say a prayer of rememberance if you are religious, place the note under the candle, and then blow it out.

if you have children, sit them down and tell them anything you know about the life of oldest black person you've ever met. it doesn't have to be your own family. tell them what you know about what life was like for us in the days, years, decades after emancipation. if you don't know much, look it up and learn about it together.

This is Juneteenth.

white people CAN interact with this post. share it, spread it.
