Yacht Rock Dad Summer is offically back, y’all #yachtrockdadsummer #millerhigjlife

Let’s really put the “bitch” in “obituary.”

I spoke to Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes on the phone today and he told me about a secret tunnel through the mountain.

“I think this would be a really good time to tell you that I’m a lesbian." -Nicole Haught, Wynonna Earp

I spoke to Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes today and he told me we have to go back, back to the future because something has to be done about my kids

You know you’re in your 40s when you have a personal vendetta against a certain intersection on your commute. Mine is Red Hill & Barranca in Tustin, CA

When you find out there’s not only not going to be a Christmas special but we’re also entering another Wilderness Era #DoctorWho

I’m normally a very nice and curteous person but if you try to cut in line at the Costco gas station all bets are off. This is Thunderdome, broski

Imagine having a license plate that says “STR8BAE” and then pulling up next to me at a stoplight in my Subaru blasting my hippie music. Happy Pride month!

Settled on the prompts from my first Writing Battle. I only did redraws on the setting but after three I found something a could vibe with. Now let’s see what unhinged nonsense I can come up with in the next week. #writingbattle

You know a show is good when you watched the season finale over 24 hours ago and you still can’t stop thinking about it. Looking at you, Pluribus.

Here I was thinking that because I’m queer I could avoid the “So when are you having kids?” question when I mention that I’m in a committed long-term relationship when catching up with old friends but apparently that’s not the case.

I basically wrote 1,500 words of gay panic for my November Novel Project tonight and it was ridiculously fun.

If you’re eating a French Dip sandwich and it’s not absolutely sopping wet with aus jus to the point of almost being obscene then I’m sorry, you’re doing it wrong. I don’t make the rules.

It’s so fascinating to me how different people’s creative processes work. I was talking to a friend who also writes and she says she can only focus on one thing before stating sometime else whereas I take ideas as they come and have several working projects and/or outline at a time

That was the kind of World Series that reminds you why baseball is so magical. It really could have gone either way. I refuse to celebrate the Dodgers though because we had way too many fireworks here tonight which my dog loudly protested.

I went into this World Series not really caring but now I’m kind of pulling for the Blue Jays, especially after watching that epic game 5 and Trey Yesavage just crushing it. What a story that would be.

Happy Halloween from Toothless & Hiccup! I think I managed to train my dragon.

Apparently I’ve reached the age where my hobbies are: -Naps -Not being sober but also not being drunk -Lecturing my dog -Replaying the same five videos games -Cheese

Well. Nothing like naming a character “Lucky” only to then realize you’re going to have to kill her off later in the story to further the protagonist’s arc. I really did some accidental foreshadowing there.

I’m currently rewatching Legend of Korra which is great except it’s always so painful watching Korra and Asami both mess around with Mako the first couple of season when you know they end up together.

Are you even queer if you don’t do a cute fall date?

I know we’re going to have to do days of thinkpieces about what went wrong with the Mets, but sometimes the answer is just “shit happens.”

Me, early this afternoon: Whoo, the Bills won and are 4-0 now! I love football! Me, two hours later: Welp, the Mets dive bombed and now the season is over. I hate baseball. It’s be an emotional rollercoaster of a sports day for me

I hate when get these dog food ads that try to make me feel guilty for not feeding my dog super expensive fresh food. I have a young, very healthy (the vet’s words) Lab mix who will eat literally anything in her bowl. I think she’s fine.

Two years down with my most favorite person and I still have never been happier.

I love that moment of unspoken understanding you get when you interact with another queer person in the wild. The cashier at Total Wine and I looked at each other and were immediately buddies and had some fun banter. Definitely the highlight of my morning

Capt Ace & Aloy adventure morning

Y’all I saw the stupidest thing ever driving down home just now. A CyberTruck painted orange with the number 1 like the General Lee from Dukes of Hazard but it said “General E”. I hate it.

Made an observation the other day that in queer spaces people tend to automatically used they/them pronouns for me whereas everything else I get she/her and/or a confused look. I don’t mind either way since I use both interchangeably but I thought it was interesting

Happy National Girlfriend Day to my most favorite person ever. #nationalgirlfriendday

It’s hard for me to get excited about all these new Star Trek projects when I’m still so upset about losing Lower Decks. (This obviously doesn’t apply to the new season of Strange New Worlds. Of course I’m stoked to have Lt Ortegas and friends back on my TV)

Honestly kind of glad I didn’t go to Warped Tour because seeing how much older the guys in Less Than Jake look now than when I saw them a decade or so ago also makes me feel really old

My birthday present to myself. Added The Outer Worlds to my video game tattoo collection. #theouterworlds

You know you’re friends with the right type of straight men when you complain about straight men and they know that you’re not talking about them specially and even agree with you that men are, in fact the worst

Well. My short story somehow turned into me basically telling my love story with my girlfriend which was all nice and great until I realized it’s apparently easier to build a whole fantasy world than describe that certain smirk your partner of two years wears when she thinks you’re being a dork

My writing process is knowing I have to finish this short story for the Writer’s Playground contest before I leave for work tomorrow morning (after starting it literally right now) but also spending ten minutes trying to name a dog who is really only going to get mentioned a couple of times.

When your Yacht Rock Dad vibe is so strong a dude at the library donation drop-off takes one look at you and then gives you a Jimmy Buffett book

Guess I’ll have to start a podcast to solve this murder in my apartment complex ala Only Murders in the Building

Today’s shirt because the only thing I get any sort of patriotic about these days is the USWNT

Just over here laughing at my own pettiness. Pride is year round.

Californians! Can I get some reposts on this? I've been told there's more than halfway to go on the pre-orders for the Endless Summer plate! I'd love to see this happen! Please help spread the word! #surf #california #licenseplate #endlesssummer www.surfplate.com/order.html

I coworker (who I’m friends with) was giving me a hard time for putting a sticker on something crooked and I just told her that I shouldn’t be expected to do anything straight during Pride month

This is a Hall of Fame reader comment on a very reactionary op-ed about Zohran Mamdani's victory that was published in my local paper today.

Y’all I’m still thinking about this interaction I had in a Stater Bros parking lot yesterday. I was unlocking my car and the lady at the car next to me looks me (in my flannel shirt holding a can of chili) up and and down, glances at my Subaru, and says “Nice car,” with a wink. I’m still confused.
