A photo I took last week at work. I am continuing to lose weight and am seeing my curves show a little more as I do. And I love that top.

Feeling good about myself.

Happy Monday!

Fixed an issue with a pickup, cleaned her, and put on new strings. Played her for the first time in years yesterday.

I got my electric guitar working again after several years of not playing it, so I whipped out a Tool riff I don't really know how to play. 😆 I'm excited to have the guitar back in working order though.

The skeleton of a new song.

A comparison of Northeast Kansas, where I lived the first 50 years of my life, and the Seattle area in Washington State, where I live now. You can see in the Washington one the Olympic Mountains, and Tahoma (Mt Rainier) at the lower right, all of which is visible where I am. I love it so much.

Two apartment windows I can see from my apartment. A lesbian flag, a trans flag, and a pride flag (which has the logo of record label Anjunadeep, which I had to look up, but it is still a pride flag). I love it here.

It's Saturday! Gonna get out and get a couple things.

My view of the Olympic Mountains to the west today. It turned into a gorgeous day after a bunch of rain.

Bedtime last night (our new routine, he decided). 😅

I've been trying to think of the best way to articulate this. I think people should fight for equality, but I don't think they should feel like it's a reward, and I don't think societies should congratulate themselves. It should be the default. This applies for all marginalised groups.

Check out my music if you haven’t already. I put all of it on my YouTube channel, and most of it is on all of the platforms.

I remembered how to play a thing I came up with years ago and it’s going to be the next thing I work on.

Gonna start posting here again I think. I kind of abandoned it for quite a while. Facebook is kind of terrible.

So, I had kind of a weird October. These screen grabs from my Facebook page explain what went down pretty well. I wrote the first between my mental hospital stay and rehab, the second last weekend, and the third today. It's been a ride.

Sometimes the darkness will show you the light.

This is from an ad for some kind of astrology thing, I don't click on ads, but I snagged this because it is wonderful. I mean, why would I take the test? You already told me I'll marry James next year. Probably should have waited till I paid.

I think he wants food… 😅

It is Sunday, and it is noon. It is kind of dark and dreary out, but I left my windows open overnight and it is delightfully chilly in my apartment. I am still laying in bed, cozy and not wanting to change that. I should probably get up, but I don’t really have a particular reason to…

Lap Charlie.

I should probably post more on here. I spend most of my time on Facebook just because I can do more with it, but I need to cross-post at least some things. It's just kind of a pain because of the limitations this platform has.

I exist out of spite.

Cool photo I took on the way back into Seattle last night.

This is my route to/from work, one day a week, via public transit. If there are no delays, it takes about three hours, on the light rail and two buses. Yesterday, on the last leg, there was an accident on I-5 and we crawled along for a long time. It took five hours, and I got to work at 10am. 😅

The hour is later than you think.

Got my "AL" tattoo touched up, and got my new "TWP" tattoo, this past weekend. I love them so much!!

Finishing up the work week...

Made myself a profile photo to use for a few different things. I like it.

Haven't posted on here in several weeks. I got the job I interviewed for, started work on July 16, love the job and the people, but then got covid the next week and it knocked me on my ass. I'm finally 100% again. And also 40 days sober today.

I'm still posting over on Facebook way more than here, for several reasons, but this is the fallback if - when - things truly go south for the leftist and queer pages over there. And it is coming.

Had the best job interview of my life today.

Please look at the alt text for details. This is my GoFundMe link. Short story is I lost my job in April and I'm kind of screwed come July regardless of whether I have a job by then or not. So, any help is greatly appreciated. Love you all. 💖 gofund.me/cb6af25f

Haven't posted on Bluesky in a few days. I was too busy having a mental breakdown and pulling out of it and freaking out a bunch of people on Facebook. 😅 I'm ok. I'm still alive. I'm not going to give up. But it has been a bit of a roller coaster of a couple days for me mentally.

I love it so much.
