July insider post exclusive for Patrons is up! Link to become a Patron of my numerous and diverse research-creation practices is somewhere in my bio list. Here’s KidCat being an uncooperative model with 4/5 of the textbooks I’ve chosen for Real World in the fall.

Dad found me a bunch of negatives & slides to add to @thepicurious collection. Lots of 3D slides also some 4x5” negatives.

Thanks to everyone who is or became a patron so far this month, or have bought something from @thepicurious! With the match, the $150 we raised turns into $450 for FRRC. I’m keeping this up for the whole month (and if anyone hears of another matching opportunity let me know)!

I had this print, Right At Last (c. 1970s) scheduled for release later in the year, but I’ve decided to move it up and make it a benefit. All proceeds from this print will be donated to the FRRC, always. Link is in the bio.

While my printer was down during quarantine, I made some site-wide changes, including adding two new print sizes with lower price points. •••
Reminder that proceeds from sales on thepicurious.com during June (all products) are being donated to the Fines & Fees fund of FRRC (Florida Rights Restoration Coalition) to help re-enfranchise voters who have served felony sentences. •••
As of today 6/12, we've raised $111.93. I have a 2:1 matching donor for any funds raised through 2 pm on Friday—TODAY. That means for every $1 donated, $2 will be added to it, tripling your impact. If you've been waiting to buy yourself some art, this is the time to do it--or if you just want to contribute a little more to get in on the match, message me.

Today I wrote about Glenalvin’s experience and the larger implications of weaponized assault accusations of black men by white people and particularly white women. Then I meander into Black Wall Street in 1920 (that’s what this picture is I’m sorry I don’t have the attribution). Available for Patrons to read now—link in bio. It’ll be public tmw.
••• All pledges from Patreon and all proceeds from sales on thepicurious.com @thepicurious during June are being donated to the Fines & Fees fund of FRRC (Florida Rights Restoration Coalition) to help re-enfranchise voters who have served felony sentences. ••• As of today 6/7, we've raised $98.93. I have a 2:1 matching donor for any funds raised through NOON on Friday 6/12. That means for every $1 donated, $2 will be added to it, making it a 3x multiplier! ••• Consider becoming a Patron, buying art, or if you just want to contribute to get in on the match, message me!

And while we’re on the subject: all of you other

And while we’re on the subject: all of you other photo collectors out there—are you posting racist images to sell? Some of you do and 👀 I see that. All photo collectors will come across them eventually, but I want to say that I’m very disappointed when I see those photos put back out into circulation. •••
I have a few and I’m not sure whether they should be destroyed or what (for anti-black photos, they can be donated to the Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia at Ferris State Univ, not sure if they collect images perpetuating racism against other groups but maybe just send them all along and let them decide). Anyway, they’ll never be published by me.

Today I wrote about 1,100 words about Glenalvin Go

Today I wrote about 1,100 words about Glenalvin Goodridge, one of the earliest African American photographers. I don't have a portrait of him, but this is a portrait he made.

The essay is up now for Patrons and it'll switch to a public post tomorrow and go out in my email list. It's the first option in the bio link.

As a reminder, I'm donating all Patreon membership funds for the month of June! Currently, we're at $86.42!
I've chosen the Fines & Fees Fund of the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition. We voted for Amendment 4 in 2018 which returns voting rights to people who have served felony sentences, however the state has put up a financial barrier, stating that if someone has any outstanding fees related to their sentence, they can't vote until those are paid. FRRC raises money to help these individuals become re-enfranchised so they can vote.

Today I wrote about black cowboys and institutional racism and involuntary servitude. Patreon’s today -> email list and public post tomorrow 🙏🏻 goodnight
