Hello my darlings!! I'm posting this today to wish yall a happy start of June and a happy start to the weekend! 💖✨ But more importantly!... PRIDE has begun! Happy Pride Month everyone 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ I’m gonna put some photos of our beloved Anohni, with her friends (for celebrate her friendship and legacy of our community)

First photo: ANOHNI as Fiona Blue (her counterpart), Psychotic Eve (of our Blacklips), and our beloved Johanna Constantine, from the 'Memorial walk for Marsha P. Johnson', on like 6 days after her death maybe? in 1992, NYC. Courtesy: ANOHNI; 📸 photographer: Marc Borders

HII guys!! ❤️ today I wanted to share the meaning of an incredible song that I love so much and that it’s closer to my heart, and I’m listening to it on repeat today, basically one of my favorite. The title is: Hitler in my heart by (it doesn’t have to be explained) Antony and the Johnsons ladies and gentlemen! In their first self-titled album of the band, in 2000s.

The meaning: “Hitler in My Heart" by Antony and the Johnsons (now known as ANOHNI and the Johnsons) is an introspective ballad about inner battles and darkness. Rather than an endorsement of fascism (absolutely no), the song uses the provocative title as a metaphor for the capacity for cruelty and destructive hate that exists within all human beings, even though the ones more kind or often caring.

Key Themes of the Song:

The Shadow Self: The lyrics explore the concept of the human "shadow"—the suppressed or dark parts of the psyche. The narrator searches for kindness within, only to discover "Hitler in my heart," symbolizing the universal presence of evil and ego, so the metaphor is to give a reference to the evil people and the powerful ones of this world, who from my perspective, give a veil of wickedness and envy to the human soul, so wicked and power-hungry, which even in our days is ruining and contaminating us and our minds.

Transcending Pain: The song also touches on themes of transformation and survival, with lines like "from the corpses, flowers grow" (so emotional, my favorite line). This juxtaposition suggests that even from profound tragedy, trauma, or destructive periods of history, new life and understanding can eventually emerge, it means that, even though a painfully battle a person could experience in their past or present life, can emerge a new, more brilliant future for them.

Radical Acceptance: The message centers on radical self-awareness and the idea that true compassion requires acknowledging our own flaws and the ugliest parts of our human nature.

Ps: I would dedicate an entire special post for only the full self-titled album of them! Cuz it’s for me my favorite, the best of all, it rules! Have a great day everyone ~ Xoxo 💋 Anohni

There is a black river, It passes by my window Ooh And late at night All dolled up like Christ

I walk the water Between the piers

Singing Oh River of sorrow River of time! River of sorrow Don't swallow this time

Me (Anohni) and my beloved Marina Abramović in 2006? Idk the date for sure, but I guess it’s from 2007 when me and Björk attended Marina 6oth birthday celebration at Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum N.Y.C. on February 24, 2007 surely, I recognized it from the clothes I was wearing that day, for sure. (Photo by Chance Yeh/Patrick McMullan I guess?) also super rare!
