I got distracted with life yesterday and forgot to share my blog post- picture it; 1981 in Toronto's gay bathhouses, previously sanctuaries: briangryphon.ca/2026/02/bath...

I am now also on a new social network that is privacy focused, ad free, and a safe space to share. hey.cafe/r/bgryphon Developed in Canada, and mentioned by Tod Maffin (of the Healthcare Infusion project) so a strong Canadian presence.

For any Canadians interested in sponsoring their foreign-born spouse for permanent residency, our case might help you understand the process. . Spreadsheet has been updated with most recent expenses and estimates: briangryphon.com/2025/11/the-... #Canada #CanQueer #LGBT #survive2thrive

I'm not unaware the world (well 'consumption capitalism') is imploding. My project to honour R&P by bringing their historical yet timely work to newer generations is act of resisting tyranny. Seeking #singers #musicians industry peeps #ascap to help draft budget: familyoflovers.com/family-of-lo...

i just want these politicians to imagine the difference between campaigning on “i reformed the concentration camps” and “i shut down the concentration camps”

Get ready for Spring. Yes, I see a foot of snow out my window. But "this too shall pass". . For the next 36 hours, save 15% on a racerback tank with a Digital Gryphon design. Choose from ~150 options at digitalgryphon.threadless.com/femme/tank/r... (they are categorized that way by Threadless).

I generally believe in 2nd or 3rd chances. However after WW-1 the Allies decided not to punish individuals. That +demands 4 $$ reparations contributed (very simplified) to WW2. Any @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov who waffles on Nuremberg 2, An American Story must be voted out.

NE1 get a screen grab of that GFM campaign that clearly violates the ToS before it was edited to remove reference to legal defense funds? Sure would luv to know if an employee their told them to change it rather than actually, you know, enforce their ToS.

RE: the latest ep of #fakeTheNation @neginfarsad.bsky.social If I had the $$$ I would consider an on-campus retirement village/ PhD programme over the cruise line floating retirement home option.

I have all sorts of issues with "just be grateful" (search my blog for more) but there definitely are moments that remind me of how blessed I am. . briangryphon.com/2013/04/litt...

In a convo with a friend they said that billion dollar lottery prizes reflect how a few million$ is no longer impressive. I calculate $100k would clear our debts, the taxes, and our move back to CDA. Perspective I guess.

#QotD Quote of the Day: "If Democrats should have learned anything from the Trump era, it’s that defending a broken status quo isn’t enough to excite voters. They need a positive vision." www.ms.now/opinion/pram...

I've been working to reduce the presence of Amzn in my life- my spending there as well as income generation- since 2020. This year's update: deleted almost all aff links, de-listed all (except 1 title) my books, and spending limited to 1 item this year. Update: briangryphon.com/supporting-m...

The reverse(?) of the slow-boiling frogs parable: the slow-decent of expectations from 'striving for excellence' to 'goid enough' to 'whatever'

My holiday cheer- ftom @sandywriccardi.bsky.social

It's likely going to be another 6 months, so I'm doing a casual Pre-Moving Sale at my blog to see if I can clear out a corner of my home office. . Feel free to read my post about getting my husband approved as a Perm.Resident so we can move back: briangryphon.com/2025/11/the-...

So, I did a thing. I was interviewed by @dennishensley.bsky.social on Dennis Anyone? We talked generally about being driven to create, with a bit of a focus on groundbreaking gay folk duo Romanovsky & Phillips. You can listen wherever you get podcasts, or directly from podcast.dennisanyone.net

Taking that sabbatical from GunclePost was exactly what I needed. . Announcing the return of GP. . 2026 will be a quarterly offering; I might return to a monthly schedule in 2027, depending on how the move goes. . Details and subscriptions available at GuncleTarot.com/guncle-post

so @msnowreports.bsky.social says #mtg "railed against business as usual in Washington [and] the rising costs throughout the nation" and announced "she will step down on Jan. 5, 2026 — two days after her congressional pension officially vests." Rising costs, business as usual, indeed.

For peeps who don't know @colinmochrie.bsky.social beyond improv, here's a great interview that shows why he's a bit of a hero to me. . youtu.be/jfm-mrcY89w?...

As we approach World Aids Day (Dec.1) and mourn the obscene loss of so much, here's a gentle reminder that we did not lose an entire generation to the virus. But if we don't acknowledge the few survivors we finish the destruction. . youtu.be/wgmWZJ3FriU #HIV #hivAIDS #survive2thrive #LGBT #queer

He is dying. It’s clear to see. But he will drag us all down before he goes. He will starve as many children as possible and separate all the families he can. He will fill his already fat pockets with money meant for disabled veterans and the unhoused. He will spread misery until his last breath.

Neurodivergence is being mocked your whole life for being "weird" because you're different, then after years of social trauma finally learning to embrace your differences only to be told "everyone is like that, you're not special" 😒🤦‍♀️

A look at my most recent blog posts at briangryphon.ca

#ICE isn't "deporting" immigrants, it is kidnapping them. #DOGE isn't "fixing" the government, it is dismantling it. #Trump isn't "helping" Americans, he is retaliating against them. #PamBondi isn't "upholding" the Constitution, she is ignoring it. #FuckTrump #Resist #Felon47

Aaarrrghhhh As part of a Community Feedback feature at @thegamecrafter.bsky.social I typed the following: Visually stunning image filling up the main block of the sales page. But nothing for the visually impaired, or anyone using a translation function to read text. #gamedesign #international

I'm a #rainbowBaby as in I was born after a miscarriage. There's lots of support for parents (over their loss/ mixed joy) but I've not found any group/ site for us. Sure it's great to be this #blessing - but I came into being in what was effectively a haunted space. Anyone know of a support group?

found on web.

Well @caelan.bsky.social @neginfarsad.bsky.social seems we might be too late.

A very offline cousin sent this to fam group chat. This story is breaking containment.

For someone who thinks they're a genius, repeating the work of men running from a previous failed state seems somehow, uninspired. . Merely having the foresight of sending an early down payment doesn't make it anything special- even at $20-40 billion. .

Hey @senatedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.org this just symbolizes that there's nothing they won't destroy while you waste time and energy arguing protocol + procedure.

Becoming a Queer Elder (due to age, experiences +alotta luck) my energies are devoted to sharing what I've learned. . Looking to blend "lived experience" with skills + training and help bring Tarot + Oracle decks that speak to unleashing your powerful queer soul to others. . Is that your deck? 1/3

Just uploaded to yTube- a quick look at what it takes for a Canadian citizen to sponsor their American spouse. . We will get there- but it's neither easy nor inexpensive to relocate to where my loving, accepting biologicals await. . www.youtube.com/BrianGryphon

Trump is freaking out about not getting an award that is designed to celebrate everything that he works to destroy

And honestly, at this point... this is what it is going to take.
