The best thing I saw at #c2e2 was my friend interacting with someone who wanted him to sign her books.

So last night I had to explain to my partner what a closed triad is and what Morning Glory Milking Farm is. And this was at an event SHE INVITED ME TO. I wonder if she judges me for knowing.

I could have picked smoking meat or road biking or some other middle aged man hobby, but I chose jiujitsu. And tonight was one of those nights where I was at minimum 15 years older. Literally everything hurts. It hurts too much to sleep. Why am I so dumb? Jiujitsu rules/sucks.

Butlerian jihad now.

Chicago, you will never cease to amaze me.

The result of the Bad Bunny halftime show. I’m reserving books from the library about Puerto Rico. The horror.

What’s going on folks in other countries not lead by a pedophile and his fascist cronies?

I’m going to work tomorrow. I make sure people get to keep their $ from settlements as victims of sexual abuse, drug and medical devices, from insurance companies. I help people at work. I will be taking my day’s wage, donating to immigrant’s legal resource organizations. Everyone wins if we share.

No one is saying that you can’t say “Abolish ICE.” as a Zionist. Just, you can’t act surprised when you get dogpiled about that political dissonance.

I’ve been catcalling my partner on her way to the shower. I did not know your entire body can blush.

I think the most endearing thing about some of my in-laws is their incredulity that I am not a Bears fan. “You’re part of the family, this is our fellowship. Families need to share joy and sorrow.” Same family also interrogated me regarding my baseball leanings when they first met me.

The F1 to Heated Rivalry pipeline is real. So real.

Did I make a Charlie Kirk joke at the gun range? Yes. But ensuring that you monitor your blood for lead levels is important if you shoot regularly. Even more so if you shoot indoors frequently. Safety first.

2025: The year my 민화 magpie tattoo stopped being “You got a tattoo of the same kind of bird picking through that fast food bag in the parking lot?” Thank you K-Pop Demon Hunters.

I used to be an evangelical, but I’m not blind to taking time to reflect and be grateful for what you have in life. The idea of grace, especially towards oneself, isn’t such a bad one to consider. I think a lot of us are unkind towards ourselves. Fuck fascism. Fuck capitalism. Be kind to yourself.

I really enjoy living in Chicago.

As someone who had a very small part in the administration of the Epstein Survivors Fund, unless we see rich, powerful men murdered in prison, this is all still a government cover up.

Things that never occurred to me before living with my non-Korean partner: What do you mean you don’t eat soup/stew at a temperature that scales your mouth? Aren’t all soups/stews supposed to be served bubbling?

The dog and I stand on one side of the 5 second rule. My partner is on the other. Not that it’s extremely relevant, but the dog is also very much a dude.

This country hates you so much for being poor.

Dear tomorrow me, The knees are sore from arthritis. The hands are sore from jiujitsu. The back is from forgetting you aren’t a 20 something former college wrestler.

Just to clarify. I am not the incredibly awesome Canadian artist Michael Cho. Nor am I famed X-23 artist Mike Choi (humble brag, we are friends and have been for 30 years.) I am a middle aged leftist and I spend my free time helping marginalized people and communities protect and defend themselves

They are snatching my neighbors and I all I want to do I grab my rifle and try and protect them. But that’s also how I end up dead, and the more of my neighbors will suffer.

These are just things that make me happy. It’s been a helluva Monday already.

He was a fascist. He promoted violence against the most vulnerable. Said that Hitler was right. Believed that women should not have rights. He was a Nazi who tirelessly recruited young people into his Nazi movement. I celebrated the death of a fascist and I always will.

I’m really hitting that ceiling of “too high to be on public transit.” Don’t worry, it’s the Brown Line.

I get why people don’t like the sound of F-16’s over the city. But it’s the air show, it’s one weekend and it’s over. That’s what living in a world class city sometimes means. Listening to one the last noises Palestinians hear before their starving families are buried under rubble.

I would like to be this cozy, everyday

There is a shop near where I get my hair cut, that is serving ketchup smoothies. I think I should try one when I’m down there. It’s not the worse choice I’ve scheduled.

A really cool thing in jiujitsu is feeling when your teammates are getting better. More confident. More aggressive. And that is the hint for me to get better too.

Tonight my training partner had at least 50 lbs on me. It was awful. But I survived. Jiujitsu be like that.

Andrew Yang is such a dork.

“This non-violent stuff’ll get you killed.”

@dhsauno.bsky.social were you aware of the Montgomery Biscuits theme night alter ego? I bought a fitted.

Me, enjoying the suffering of my weird hobby.

Sleepy boy.

I’ll never forgot how this used to make me feel on Sundays, rushing to get the paper to see what stories Watterson was going to tell.

Dog beach Saturday!

I tried using smoked pork belly this time around. It is very fatty. That’s not really a complaint.

The incredibly dumb stuff I’m gonna cook tomorrow with this.
