Looks like I'll be in PDX the second week of August and will likely have some time to meet up for some food & fun. Yes, I am a planner and am already thinking three moves (or months) ahead. Where are all the PNW friends during that time?

I saw the new Boots Riley movie: I Love Boosters yesterday. (Bay area, stand up!) It was fun, creative, trippy, topical and truly unique. Definitely worth a look.

My goodness, I'm building my voter guide for next week and reviewing the official SF Dems endorsement list is literally a guide of who NOT to vote for. They are now so captured by big business they don't support any progressive candidates or measures anymore. Gross.

I had a very special celebration this week that can only be described as a beautiful sea of flesh. I'm eternally grateful to my amazing group of friends who helped make this happen.

Xavier Becerra got absolutely dog piled and cooked in the latest debate tonight. I've never seen anything like the beating he took in this clip tonight. Worth a watch. But make sure you keep it blue out there. youtu.be/XT_hJdhBVTg?...

It is 103 in Phoenix today. I know I'm hot and all but not THIS hot! Whew!

Let's start with the governor's race. For those that don't know, CA has a "jungle primary" meaning the top two vote getters move to the general in the fall, regardless of party affiliation. The Dems have way too many candidates and there are over 60 total on the ballot. There has been a lot of...

Cali & SF friends, we need to start a dialogue about the June primary. Both the governor and CA-11 (SF house seat) are truly wide open for the first time in generations. The primary will shape the general and is honestly more important at the moment. I'm starting an open thread to discuss with you..

A very dear friend to me and many of my mutuals is going through a very tough, personal battle with their health right now and I would so very much appreciate any love and support you could send their way. Many thanks.

I'm showing up to my next appointment like this.

Spotted in downtown Toronto today. Oh, Canada! 🍁

Oh, hello Toronto. Looking good, eh?

Going to Toronto this coming week and will have time for a date on Wednesday evening or possibly Thursday. There is such a deep roster of lovely folks up there. How does one choose?

I've been working really hard lately, traveling a lot, and dealing with a lot of extra unexpected stuff. I had a date today I was looking forward to but I was ghosted after sending a deposit. I will still not flinch to send them in the future but I won't lie this is frustrating.

You thought Pam Bondi was bad, and you cheered when she was fired. I did too, but I was and always have been clear eyed that often the replacements are inevitably far worse. I present to you exhibit A

Hello, SLC

Looks like someone ghosted me on a deposit this week, and now my Uber to the airport is late. Sometimes, even when you carefully plan things out, they'll go sideways on you. Sigh...

The hits just keep on coming. SLC this week, followed by Toronto, KC, PHX, Chicago and then Houston. No rest for the wicked, whew!! 🛫

I am putting together some seriously hot and fun plans for my birthday next month. You may not fully realize it just yet but you are very, very excited for me! It will be a month long celebration! 🎇

This is super funny and very clever. If you like Kendrick and current events, this is for you. youtu.be/aNriuGm0zZI?...

Just going to leave this here. Powerful song and message that dropped today. Please watch until the end for some startling stats on what we're up against. "boots on the ground massive attack" share.google/H8z2WgSumLVs...

😂😂😂 a thing about me is I LOVE cats. And this is so perfect.

Please show this west coast lady some true southern hospitality.

I am nearing the point to where I'm about to endorse this guy for the primary. And the recent attacks by the establishment against him just reinforces that instinct. San Francisco’s establishment moves to sink a progressive House candidate - POLITICO share.google/zAHy4pXToLDp...

One of my planes today had nothing, and I mean nothing: no outlet, no wifi, no screen, no entertainment... Nothing. I guess I should feel grateful I got my sparkling water. Sheesh. And I had packed my book because I had intended to work on the plane.

Rather than be subjected to cheesecake factory and other less than desirable food options, I just changed my flight to come home early instead. Judge me if you want, but I'd rather have a middle seat than eat bad food. That was my analysis here.

Free speech for me but not for thee. So you can be disciplined or expelled for simply walking out from or protesting a speaker that you don't agree with. This is clearly unconstitutional. Would these colleges support kicking conservatives out of school if Hasan Piker or some other "leftist" spoke?

With all the modern advances in technology lately, what is it going to take to get some decent WiFi on the plane that is worth a shit? The speed on my plane today was in KBS, not MBS, much less GBS, but actual Kbs. Painfully unproductive.

One of the cutest things I've enjoyed about Mexico City is not only how their public parks are everywhere and well taken care of, but there are lots of young couples everywhere enjoying them and making out & being romantic. It's beautiful to see.

Out of office. Exploring Mexico City. Reposado

I'm definitely in my happy place. #cdmx

We should and must always believe women. The fact that we haven't collectively done that as long as we have is a big reason why we are where we are. I wanted to like this guy but that ship has sailed and he needs to drop out right now.

Give this lovely lady a little digital love and engagement.

I have tickets to see Puscifer on 5/11 in SF. I'm curious if someone wants to go with me. I would like to take someone who is a fan of this artist & music. You know where to find me.

Yeah, nah. Decrim now!! Nothing else will suffice.

I am fully convinced that kindness, compassion and empathy are frequencies & vibrations that when put out into the world freely and without expectations, that it will circle back to you in a beneficial way. Often in unexpected methods. This theory continues to be proven time and time again.

I paid my taxes today. To get rid of the gross feels, I need a foot rub and a cookie now. Maybe a nice pat on the head.

This lovely spring weather and all the blooming flowers is absolutely giving me some real spring fever.

Damn, I hate to hear this but I know it may be inevitable. We're not allowed to have nice things. I feel for my many, many friends that could be affected by this.

It's been a long, productive and very HOT week here. Over 100 degrees in PHX, but I'm finally heading home now. Got to reconnect with a friend I hadn't seen in a very long time and it was really fulfilling to share our stories since we last met. Syncing up is always fun for me.

PNW coffee while in the desert? Yes please! @caffevita.bsky.social

I'll be in PHX this coming week and I (might) have time for a rendezvous later in the week. It's supposed to be scorching hot down there but that is not the kind of heat I'm looking for.

A fantastic experience, a late but fulling night, a very early flight and a last second upgrade to first class. Life is a whirlwind but of you allow it to flow you can really ride the waves!

We have a winner! Thank you to everyone who reached out about this. It feels so nice to have so many great friends. Community is everything to me.

I had a really hot date planned for tonight that unfortunately someone needed to cancel. So this is now a unique opportunity for someone to fill in for. Contact me if you are interested in this. It is tonight in SF. Thanks

A "quota" demonstrates a profit motive. Let that sink in. This has been happening for a very long time. Private prisons are having a ball right now and it needs to stop immediately.
