A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Stretched ear at sunset

Piercing by Bartas at Piekielna Furia Chaosu in Poland (if I read the email right). Mostly I just really, really like going to the beach. I have a lot of work to do this weekend, but I will definitely go again next week. Write me ([email protected]) if you want to tag along, I’m all for swimming with strangers. I’m thinking about going to Presquile… I haven’t been there in decades.
