Please do not text your ex to brag about how good your life is and that you have a new partner. Just don’t do it.

I love a cute business class pod home. Back in my rainy lil burg, where it’s finally grey! HA872 ICN-SEA

In good faith, and quite seriously: what are the chances of someone migrating to the US right now "legally" and what avenues can they take?

All next week, highs in the 60s and lows in the 50s with rain in Seattle. You bet your sweet bippy that I am having coffee on my lanai and making soupS!

I don't even like Kimmel, but I canceled Hulu— and my credit card even has a perk to pay for it. I won't be resubscribing, and instead, I donated to Cascade PBS. I'd rather nerd out with Samantha Brown and Rick Steves!

I tried diligently to change my seat on an Air China flight via their website, which gave me PhD level authentications (“fTs” was prescient). I ended up going through our AmexGBT app, and the poor agent had to put up with my shenanigans.

Perhaps in my memoir I’ll divulge, but in the meantime, I’ll share this: a surprising responsibility (?) I have as captain is managing the emotions of 50 year old men.

This isn’t new, but it is demoralizing to get the flight plan and see an extra hour more than usual. Just let me get to my noodles in peace, please!

Wishing you a calm autumnal equinox— I’m looking inward as the days get darker, checking in on any imbalances. While I keep walking my path, perhaps I don’t have it all yet, but I’m proud of how much I’ve protected my romantic heart this year. 💜

The only one falling for me this fall is water.

The first thing I crave when I come back to the states from Asia is 1. Taco Bell and 2. A sandwich.

When I bought a place, I was so excited to host people. Even if I’m not home. Therefore, I’m happy that @tacotuesgay.bsky.social is having a fabulous time in Seattle. But I forgot that I named my smart devices insufferable names.

I rewatched Hedwig and the Angry Inch (somehow onboard my flight in the classics section, I’m not disagreeing 😅) but the way it’s so funny and yet poignant in a grotesque way. I love it.

It’s taking every fiber of my being not to hop on the train and go home, but my journey to work still continues via Seattle. Hawaiian has a great, boutique product that will only get better with the combined carriers!

Somebody let me know if these are worth it. I have QC45s that are garbage for ANR, so much so that I’m back to using my 35s from years ago. Even better battery life, too. (Y’all know I love purple, so if a daddy wants to spoil me, who am I to stop him?) www.bose.com/p/headphones...

Big fan. Doesn’t suck, at least not right now. (Does this make me look tall? I’m not 😅)

I snuck away to Beijing on a long layover and saw a couple more things that I missed last time. As an avid listener of The Economist’s Drum Tower podcast, I couldn’t not go. And then I lucked out on the weather! It wasn’t hot 😇

Anyway, I’m off to see my labubu dealer.

Don’t worry, I zoomed in for you.

I just watched Breath of Fire about the horrific atrocities of Yogi Bajan and then scammer Guru Jagat. Ignorantly, I did not know this as a kundalini practitioner— but, my question is, were his teachings really bogus, or is kundalini still a viable practice?

EVERYONE LOOK AT MY CHILD WHO FLEW SOLO! Muva is SO proud of you, fledgling!

I don’t want to be in my hometown. But I came back to mourn the loss of my first yoga instructor. She taught me so much as a baby gay in an unforgiving place. Jefferson City, Missouri always made me yearn for more— but Megan made it tolerable. Rest easy, wherever you are. 💜🕉️

Complaining about airlines does almost nothing. But there’s one in particular, almost every single time I fly, there’s a delAAy, and it’s always poorly communicated.

This has to be iPhone’s biggest lie, because it constantly connects to networks as I’m walking down the street— just like me with men, it keeps going back to things that don’t work 😤

My homostasis (typo intended) is a 9 am wake up. I’m just not a morning person. But I will luxuriate in my robe until I absolutely have to get on with the day, when I can.

This would make a great half birthday gift for me, coming up in October. Thank you. us.moccamaster.com/cdn/shop/pro...

Also I started going to a new yoga studio that has immaculate vibes ✨💅🏼

My go-to meal when I’m home and just want something easy: baked salmon, miso rice, and broccoli. No, this isn’t broccoli, but I had green beans to use up.

All I’m saying is that if someone came along looking like Morgan Spector, I’d treat him very well.

Where the water runs clear: the Yakima River, home of Rainier beer (probably)

I’ve been watching TV all day. Who started the rumor?!

Unfortunately, I am still very cute. I am also, fortunately, single. Y’all really couldn’t handle me, but the one who could won’t step up 💅🏼

The only way I would care about it is if it happened. I’m talking about two different its.

I do not care, and y’all are about to be even more insufferable over white mediocrity.

I was just reminded of these two photos, nearly ten years apart. Sometimes I feel like I don’t fit in aviation, but I’ve always been a purse-toting, Jackie-O sunglass wearing fabulous pilot. I know a little more now than I did when I cut my teeth on the Caravan, and the brand remains the same. 💜

The worst text you can get as a homosexual on the internet. @tacotuesgay.bsky.social had my heart racing for a minute. NO it wasn’t me 😅

A lot of you need to understand that you’re actually okay with an autocracy. It feels better to have someone else make the decisions. Democracy is so much more fragile and messier than you care to put the work in.

It’s 98°F in my layover city in China. So if you think I’m *not* going to order food to the hotel in 20 minutes for $7, you are sorely mistaken. No adventures this time, only bed rotting 💅🏼

I said I would subtweet (subsky? subskeet? Anyway) but— I have no idea how @tacotuesgay.bsky.social puts up with me. He is privy to select situations behind the scenes, and the amount of reading he does IN MY FACE is just rude (and very warranted 😅)

This is for the girls and the gays only. #snatched

For my secret admirers, this is a perfect Winter Solstice gift for me. www.skandinavisk.com/sas-skandina...

Anyway, I’m cute, I’m in First class, men annoy me, and y’all can talk amongst yourselves. So tired of being an option.

I know I have to, but I cannot keep my heart open anymore. It’s not worth it, every time, to be met with crumbs or misdirection or any combination of almost possible scenarios. When the time is right, I’ll know.

It was important to me to get my first tattoo in Göteborg, where my great-great grandpa left Sweden more than 100 years ago. The Dala horse is a nod to my Swedish roots, and the mandala is encompassing of my spiritual practice. Over ten hours in the chair, and I get the hype.

Summer. Sweden. Spritz. I’m in heaven!

One of the most memorable flights I’ve ever had, on my beloved SAS! The crew was fantastisk. I got the upgrade to Business— haven’t turned right in years, and I wasn’t going to start today. It’s a dreadful morning in Denmark, but the journey continues. Hallå, Europe!

On a cool, rainy day in Anchorage, I’m recovering in bed after the fun and excitement of a Shanghai summer. (See the heart shaped sweat pattern, since I’m so full of love 💜) Home soon, but more adventures to come!

This is white progressivism summed up in one take.

I need everyone in (healthy) relationships to appreciate your partner, because these streets are rough. The spinster life for me 🙃

I’m really not a South Park person, but wheeeew this is the moment!
