Called @formertwink.bsky.social to look at how gorgeous the sunset & sky were. What does Alice do? Strolls outside eating potato chip remnants out of a plastic container. With a SPOON. Like salty Frosted Flakes. Tony the Tiger would never.

Wedding babes!

It is time, hopefully, for October weather. The best weather. Give me hot chocolate with whipped cream, a fire, and a blanket.

9 years ago on a destination date day in NYC, after doing lots of fun, nerdy things, @formertwink.bsky.social & I got engaged. She asked. I cried and forgot to answer. Our server thought something was *very wrong* and came to check on me -

Less than zero

@formertwink.bsky.social did you see this? 🤣

Seeing that Dan Deevy of the D&I Con is just as dedicated to fighting the lies and hate as he is to refunding my money makes me think it's going to be a looooooong time before I ever get my money back. 🖖

Bashed my head against the wall all day at work and have tried my best to chill out and pretend it's Halloween.

Not me & @skirkle.bsky.social trying to come up with ways to cool down today. So far: - jump in big pool - run through sprinkler - hose off while watering garden

Wow, I wish I knew how it felt to be so goddamn entitled that I got everything I wanted if I just complained about it long enough. Fuck you.

Sometimes you just want to matter 🤷🏻‍♀️

Medicare is next, Social security...they want to kill the impoverished, disabled, queers, trans people. Where do we go?

While many Americans were still asleep, Republicans in the House of Representatives passed Trump’s huge, horrible mega-bill. It might be the worst, most damaging piece of legislation I’ve seen in my nearly 60 years in politics.

Must be real fucking nice.

When you're the only one of your kind, what then?

Trans women are women. Trans men are men. Nonbinary people exist.

if you are a cis person it costs you nothing to just say today that you see & hear your trans sisters & brothers & others over in the UK today -- and around the world, too, knowing that rulings like today's ripple out in ugly ways.

Reason 3,971 I need @formertwink.bsky.social I cannot apply saniderm to my new tattoos as they are on my right arm, and I, alas, do not possess the dexterity.

No need to worry, I'm here to save you @formertwink.bsky.social

Today might be an ice cream date day

Celebrating 6 months with my favorite boy and my upcoming birthday - within 3 days of each other. @czane.bsky.social & @formertwink.bsky.social have both already made me feel absolutely cherished. I love you both, whole heart. Hands down. Deeply.

Officially a Reiki Level 2 practitioner. Holler.

Start your TDoV 2025 right

Wow. I've got nothing but anger and sadness and shitty feelings. Basically, the opposite of everything I spent the last four and a half years trying not to be.

Being an Aries full of feelings is never a great spot for me to be in. I prefer to manage my feelings one by one, like picking chocolates out of a box, or toppings off a pizza.

Nothing like a flare to keep things interesting. Can someone remove the ice pick from my brain, please?

Knew this was coming

When your therapist gives you homework that includes: Setting boundaries Self care Communication Making that phone call you were supposed to make last week 😬😬😬

This

When the family visit triggers all the trauma and rage. And your hand tremors are bad enough that food won't stay on your fork. Is that love?

Came out to my g-ma How did she not know I was queer? HOW?

If you really support trans people, then show up. Protest. Contact your elected officials. Vote against anti-trans laws. Support trans-owned businesses. Hire trans workers. Donate to trans orgs. Have conversations with friends, family and coworkers. Do whatever it takes.

Small acts of kindness and resistance matter. Every conversation, every moment of care and every refusal to give in adds up. You don’t have to do everything. Just do something.

I am biggest nerd 😅

My wife is so hot 🔥

My boyfriend is ridiculously adorable 😍

Off to meet my new meta, let's gooooo

Finding inspo images for tattoos for my sleeve - easy. Finding fonts for a number 13? Why is this so hard???

I hope people realize that SNAP and Medicaid cuts are also the test balloons for Social Security, Medicare, ACA, and VA cuts. If the Republicans get those through, they will go after the next four next.

@formertwink.bsky.social told me to go outside and be one with my hammock since it's 60°F (15.5°C) in February today. I humbly submit that I am battling an atrocious headache, but listening to birbs singing

@formertwink.bsky.social I love you, sm

"Joe is the Escalate. Shibata is the Ducati. Hook is the Mitsubishi 3000GT." -Leah Crowell, my wife, @thirteenismyfav.bsky.social 🤼‍♂️

My partner's child asked me if i miss the "1900s" & then informed me I am her cats' GRANDMA. So done 🤣💀

When I wake up in the morning and start to remember things

Felt ok, still might delete later.

I got to smooch @formertwink.bsky.social and now she's stopping at the store to pick up something delicious for dinner. 🥰🥰🥰

Ok, but for real - I'm ready to get off this metal tube and see my wife @formertwink.bsky.social Then I want some food, a shower, and cuddles. Tomorrow repeat, but with my boy @czane.bsky.social

No biggie, just the Superbowl Championship Philadelphia Eagles landing right behind my flight at the airport.

As companies shell out big bucks for Super Bowl commercials, remember that many said they were forced to raise prices due to inflation. Also remember that average profit margins in nearly every sector in the S&P 500 are running near or above 10-year highs. Hello???
