My coworker gave me a late Christmas Gift she had ordered from Etsy that just arrived. It’s Joxer the Mighty! He will go well with my Xena and Gabrielle. I love it! #xena #television #crochet #christmasgift #joxer

Super excited to be invited to talk about the cultural phenomenon that is Xena! I’m looking forward to contributing to the awesomeness of the first Williamsburg ComicCon this March! #xena #xenawarriorprincess #comiccon #williamsburg #popculture

Last night Parker and I saw Fantastic Four for an early fan event. It was a great movie! Glad to see Marvel’s First Family in the MCU after being absent for so many years! #marvel #fantasticfour #amctheaters #mcu

For Parker’s 15th birthday today we saw an early screening of Superman at AMC in Hampton! (And we dressed appropriately 😂) Go see it on Thursday, y’all! It’s fantastic! #birthday #superman #movie #superhero #comics

Just voted in Virginia’s Democratic primary! I was only number 12 at 9:50. Apparently the first voter didn’t show up until 8 when the polls opened at 6. I hope more people exercise their right to vote today! #virginia #vote #primaryelection #democrat #republican #election #civicduty

Posted a TikTok about movies I watched as a kid in the 80s. Anyone else remember “The Peanut Butter Solution?” Some of these I should NOT have been watching 😂 #movies #80s #1980s #childhood

Apparently you get a community guidelines violation on TikTok if you call someone a dumbass. Well, in my defense, the person was a dumbass. 🤷‍♂️ #tiktok #socialmedia

Me with the fake Hercules in 1997 at Universal Studios Florida and me with the real Hercules in 2025 at Lexington Comic Con. We found the old pic while cleaning out my mom’s attic. I hope I can find the one with Xena, too! #Hercules #UniversalStudios #Xena #KevinSorbo

It’s graduation time! Had a great pre-commencement get together with my colleagues at the new Starbucks, and I was able to get a few selfies with some great students. 😀 Happy Graduation, everyone! #community #communitycollege #professor #history #graduation #college

Here’s the live stream from tonight’s first commencement ceremony. Check out the 41:20 time stamp… Can’t say I’ve ever had a student approach me on stage to shake my hand and say thanks. Totally makes the job worth it. 😀 #communitycollege #Graduation www.youtube.com/live/0NaJAdZ...

It’s Educator Appreciation Week, and yesterday was National Teachers’ Day! I made breakfast for folks on campus. Haven’t done that in years. I did burn myself with bacon grease… WHOOPS! But it was totally worth it! 😂 #communitycollege #teacher #professor #history #breakfast #teacherappreciationweek

Back at GalaxyCon Richmond in March, Parker and I had a photo shoot done in our Dr. Strange and Wiccan cosplays. I think it turned out pretty well! Thanks to Bryant Cox Photography for the shot and editing! #comiccon #galaxycon #cosplay #marvel #drstrange #wiccan

I had the privilege of attending the American Association of Community Colleges conference this week. In the closing session I was honored as a Dale P. Parnell Distinguished Faculty member. #teacher #professor #history #communitycollege #college #highered #award

I have the best coworkers! One grabbed me a Bruce Campbell autograph this weekend at Astronomicon! Now I just have to meet him in person so he can sign my Xena and Hercules posters. 😀 #xena #hercules #autolycus #brucecampbell #celebrity #autograph

I totally forgot to post more pics from GalaxyCon last weekend! I was fortunate to meet Mick Foley, who signed my ATLA poster, and Joey Fatone. More pics to come. #galaxycon #galaxyconrichmond #comiccon #comics #wrestling #mickfoley #joeyfatone #nsync #avatarthelastairbender

Day 2 of GalaxyCon was fantastic! #Xenomorph Warrior Princess made an appearance, & Parker dressed as #Wiccan. I met Alex Kingsto, Utkarsh Ambudkar, and Weird Al! Looking forward to day 3! #doctorwho #riversong #avatar #avatarthelastairbender #ghosts #xena #alien #weirdal

My #Xena panel at #GalaxyCon went great! I can’t wait to do another one! One participant, who wore a shirt proclaiming “It’s a Xena Thing” said she was only planning to come Fri to Sun, but added today solely to come to my panel! 🥰 #XenaWarriorPrincess #Xenites #Cosplay

About to see the Golden Girls: The Laughs Continue in Norfolk at Chrysler Hall. I hope it’s good! 😀 #goldengirls #goldengirlsforever #livetheatre #comedy #80sTV

Parker and I are in an early screening for Death of a Unicorn up in Tysons Corner. Haven’t been up this way in a good while! #movies #amctheaters #deathofaunicorn

One of my students ordered door dash during class this morning. We live in BFE. I didn’t know we had door dash! 😂 I know I should probably be offended or upset, but I’m actually a little amused. #college #communitycollege #doordash #historyclass #getmesomenexttime

My son and I are on the way to Lexington, KY for the #comiccon there. He asked if we could drive 20 minutes out of the way to a Walmart to meet an employee he follows on Instagram. So where are we? Ashland Walmart looking for Anne and Jared. #walmart #parenting #kids #teenager

Parker and I are getting ready to see an early screening of @mickey17movie.bsky.social at AMC Theaters in Hampton. #Mickey17 #Mickey17Hampton #movies

The most adorable little kid was walking around campus today handing out valentines. I miss when the library kids would trick or treat at our faculty offices. We used to have so much happening on campus ☹️ #communitycollege #publiclibrary #pawpatrol #nickelodeon #valentines

When I was out in California last weekend for #XenaCon, I stopped by the @originalfunko store! Of course, I spent way too much money there! 😂 But I did find Parker some of the pops he was looking for & I got to take some pics with the life size pops! #funko #funkopop #hollywood

This past weekend at #XenaCon I had the opportunity to get some shots of some phenomenal #cosplayers! I loved seeing all the #Xena outfits! (Almost as good as my Xenomorph Warrior Princess 😉) 1/4 #XenaCon2025 #cosplay

Cheers to meeting amazing people at #XenaCon! Thanks for making me feel so welcome! 1st 2 pics are with attendees, while the 2nd 2 are with Craig Parker, who also played in Spartacus and Lord of the Rings, and Steven L. Sears, one of the main writers on #Xena. #xenacon2025

Had a fantastic first #XenaCon in Burbank! In addition to the photo shoots I had, I met several cast members and acquired their autographs on their character portraits and my #Xena and #Hercules posters! I also had Lucy Lawless sign my #FunkoPop!

Had a phenomenal time attending the 30th anniversary Xena: Warrior Princess convention in Burbank! It was my first one! Here are some professional pics with the stars! (Renee O’Connor & Lucy Lawless, Hudson Leick, Adrienne Wilkinson, Musetta Vander.) #Xena #XenaCon #XenaCon2025

Traveled Thursday from Richmond to Burbank with stops at Chicago Midway and Phoenix. Here’s some random out-the-window pics from the plane. #flying #southwest

Well this is exciting! Looking forward to putting on an outstanding panel about #Xena in honor of the show’s 30th anniversary! Thanks for choosing me #galaxyconrichmond! #xenawarriorprincess #comiccon #90sTV #LucyLawless #ReneeOConnor

About to board the first of three flights on the way to #XenaCon! I’ve wanted to go to a #Xena convention since I was in high school, so I’m excited to attend the 30th anniversary one!

My daughter turned 17 today and two of her favorite capybaras, Barbara and Harold, wished her Happy Birthday! 🎂🎁🎉🎈🎊 #capybaras #happybirthday

It’s Saturday… in a week I’ll be attending the Salute to Xena convention in Burbank, and I’m super excited! I can’t wait to be there! I’ve wanted to attend one of these since I was in high school! #xena #xwp #xenacon #creationentertainment #salutetoxena #lucylawless #reneeoconnor

Me too! Glad to see Suikoden getting attention again! These games are phenomenal, and they have amazing stories!

When I first got my 3D printer last spring, a coworker casually asked if I could print him a Red Hood mask. I don’t think he was being serious, but I figured “why not?” #3dprinting #redhood #cosplay #batman #dc #dccomics

For Christmas we gave Parker tickets to Animate! Raleigh. It’s a Voice Actor and animation (and pop culture) con put on by GalaxyCon. It was nice to see and experience one that was a slower pace than GalaxyCon. We got pics with a Baby replica from #Supernatural.

Yesterday was my wife’s birthday, and I gave her #Heartstopper shoes from an amazing artist on Etsy! (We met her while waiting at the stage door after #RomeoandJuliet in #NYC Check out the video from my TikTok - www.tiktok.com/t/ZTYtEWLdu/ #nicknelson #charliespring #kitconnor #joelocke

This is probably the latest we’ve ever put our tree up. As soon as it was up Boogie had to climb it. Christmas is in three days… will it stay up that long without the cats knocking it over? Guess we’ll see… #christmastree #cats

We’re playing a trivia game, and I got the circled question. I answered a squib. While I know Muggle is right, I don’t think squib was technically wrong. What say you, internet? #trivia #harrypotter

My mom has lung cancer and is in hospice. I was staying with her last night. In her confusion she asked me what my wife’s name was. I said “Tara” and she looked at me with a firm “No! Your REAL wife’s name.” So if anyone know who my real wife is, please let me know. 😂 #cancer #sundowning #hospice

My wife bought me this #Supernatural advent calendar last year on clearance, so here’s day one! Full video on my TikTok. #samwinchester #deanwinchester #castiel #adventcalendar

So according to the app, @mcdonalds didn’t have McCrispy sandwiches today. I opted to go with a McRib instead. This is what I got. Really??? 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Apparently it’s a McRibless. Guess I’ll grab something from Chick-fil-A in the mall. #fail #mcdonalds #mcdonaldsfail #fastfood

I’ve been on a calorie deficit since February to try to slim down. I’ve been aiming for 1500 calories a day. For thanksgiving today I’m currently at 3200 calories. Damn that pie was good! 😂😂😂 #Thanksgiving #weightloss

I’m trying to meal prep my normal stuff between Thanksgiving meals, and Clancey must be expecting something. #cat #mealprep

Happy Thanksgiving to my 7 followers! (And everyone else, too!) 🦃🦃🦃

Just finished another rewatch of #Supernatural and damn do I hate that last episode 😭😭😭 Even watching now, it bums me out that Covid jacked up the plans of bringing more folks together for the last scenes. ☹️

Fun #DND story I shared on Threads - In my first game the DM, who’s my IT guy, said I could do anything I wanted. I joked about cavity searching goblins we’d killed & he made me roll for it… To no one’s surprise, their cavities had no hidden treasurers. They now call me Professor Dr. Butt Fingers 😂

Thanks to the individual who left their account logged into #Netflix at the #AirBNB where I was staying so that I could watch episodes of #Supernatural while we were away. 😂 I could’ve logged into mine, but I appreciated reading the menus in Italian… or maybe it was Portuguese? Not really sure 😂

Tara and I saw Romeo & Juliet with Kit Connor and Rachel Zegler this afternoon in NYC. We had front row seats, and we were definitely up close!#kitconnor #rachelzegler #livetheater #shakespeare #romeoandjuliet

My wife and I are heading up to #NYC this weekend on an anniversary trip to see #Romeo+Juliet with Kit Connor from #Heartstopper. We have front row seats, so we’re both excited! We saw Joe Locke in #SweeneyTodd back in April, and that was fantastic! I hope this show is, too!
