JH Curio Cabinet 02

Our semi-regular roundup of JH curiosities — things we saved, shared, or talked about this month.

In homage to a month of Pride, two reflections on its iconic rainbow symbolism: First, a timely redesign of the Pride flag.

Second, the discovery of Fire Rainbows, a rare cloud phenomenon.

WATCHING / LISTENING / READING:

— Ziwe all day
— A dreamlike horror film from the 70s
— A podcast recommendation
— This powerful reading
​— "Increasingly, what we're after on social media is not narrative or personality but moments of audiovisual eloquence"

SNACK THEORY:

— Reallllyyyyy want to try one of Nünchi’s pastel jelly cakes
— Into everything we’ve had at this food pop-up at a neighborhood favorite wine bar (recommended: the pastrami taco).

— We endorse: these as perfect road trip snack. Tastes like candy! 


MEANINGFUL OBJET:

— Catherine Opie’s Dyke Deck, a piece of queer history in the form of a deck of playing cards. Recently, artist Naima Green has brought a new perspective to the project with her work Pur-suit, a deck and digital archive centered around queer, trans, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming people of colour coming of age in the 2020s.

— Functional, one of a kind ceramic and glass pieces at the juncture of art, tradition, and non-binary representation within the cannabis industry.

LOVING:

— RuPaw's Drag Race (ahh!): Kitty couture and wigs handmade in Brooklyn
 

LEARNING:

— An amazing LGBTQ+ small business list
— ​A growing directory for queer healers

Color Theory:
Hepworth but make it the great re-emerging of hibernating cicadas

Eames + Marzipan = these pistachio croissants

Miso snack.
