I know I should be working in the service industry when I have made it to the end of the weekend closing Fri-Sun and still finding the love I feel in doing what feels like the smallest effort for me. It’s everything to someone else.

Made some new friends at an afters I rolled the dice on after we closed the bar. No regrets I met some fabulous folks with some crazy cool back stories. They were partying at the bar then took it back home. Quality connections and lots of intimacy I have been craving.

The wildest thing I have had in a minute. What was that one drink back in the day who did this? Not sure who this is for, but if you’re a high pulp person it wasn’t unpleasant otherwise.

It’s 4:20pm on Saturday June the 6th and I am missing Taco Bell before the Cantina took over.

Did some work on the road earlier this week just outside of Beaumont. I always end up appreciating Austin a little more by leaving it for a few. Observation: the 100% pure thematic apperception test of (a cis normal) someone trying to figure out your weird placeholder enby name. It never gets old.

Dream providence has been a thing lately. I was reminded last nite of a name I had considered when I began my social transition. It’s calling to me from the depths within. I also just came up with a very suiting name for a music project I have been dwelling on for years. I’ll share that one for now.

“They’re not gonna catch us. We’re on a mission from God.” I haven’t seen The Blues Brothers in close to forty years. But here we are on a Saturday night in 2026, reacquainting ourselves with Jake and Elwood...

From Anna Nicole Smith to Lizzy Jagger, June has historically been an iconic month for Playboy. www.playboy.com/read/the-ver...

The value of copper is rising, and thieves can make money by stripping it from phone poles, streetlights and EV chargers. But those thefts cost the rest of us.

This scene along is Culhane's best directional works where Woody runs the man over with a steamroller. Notable part is where he opens the door and Woody bursts in with insane camera angles, cuts and paint strokes. Epilepsy warning at 1:32-1:42 Cartoon: "The Loose Nut" (1945, Shamus Culhane)

The Simpsons: Series 8, Episode 8: ‘Hurricane Neddy’ - Ned Flanders’ angry meltdown scene. Probably one of my favourite Ned Flanders episodes.

Simple Tato reminder 🤍

Always…

King Bee on E 12th in Austin, TX has been a good place to emergency poop for the past 10yrs. Some dumb company in LA owns it now. I hope they appreciate how dumpable the toilets have been for a spot as aged. At my beloved Full Circle (R.I.P.) a block away it was always a dicey endeavor at best.

Catching a ride to NYC with a New Yorker friend in June. If you’d told me I’d be making this trip 10yrs ago I think I would have shat myself. When one doesn’t have a secure sense of identity it is impossible to sustain roles and understand the part. I survived by trying to find myself in others.

From a spiritual perspective I believe I am going to stop equating wisdom in situations where I have little to no power to change them to “giving up.” The better framing in my self-talk is “letting go.” We do not have to hold on to that which did not nurture the peace we have found within ourselves.

Lazzy trivia time: How many 711 donuts can I put down at the bus stop with less than a 10 minute eta for my bus?

Diary of a whore time. I 💦 so fucking hard before I had to get ready to leave for my shift today that I still felt some tingles when I got to a seat on the bus. I have not ever once before hit those high notes. At 44yo I have found my clit and learned how touch her to blow my fucking brains out.

The hottest thing a man can say in bed? "Can I?" Consent is hot.

To all my fellow Texans looking for affordable talk therapy please reach out to my friend’s program. You don’t have to wait until the engine light comes on to care for your wellness. The first step in my decision to begin my medical transition was finding a therapist to have for “if” and “when.”

Mini sleep paralysis between 6am-8am this morning. I managed to pass out lying on my back. I was in a dream with a couple of friends and at some kind of party full of beautiful queer, androgynous people. I lost them and stopped being able to move. In the end I could barely cry “help”…then woke up.

Big shout out to Bluesky. I am a few months liberated from Meta platforms due to the unchecked promotion of hate, scams, and propaganda across those platforms. I have one group chat on IG I check maybe once a day with people I see multiple times weekly at the bar. Bluesky has been a welcome respite.

30 years ago today, Bart Simpson got the “dud” while playing a game of Mystery Date with Milhouse and his parents. #TheSimpsons episode “Summer of 4 Ft. 2” first aired May 19, 1996.

If you live in Austin, TX and are seeing this scream real loud. I’ve been here for 20yrs and have the community and social circle I will probably always have…but always interested in meeting other folks and hearing your stories. It’s what keeps me in the bar biz. DMs open!

I hope I’m alive for the part where enough people are disenfranchised and pushed too far…and revolt. But if not I am very confident that day comes.

My favorite part of working a closing shift is getting to do all of the things I would have done for closing support on a slow day. I am halfway serious and halfway sarcastic. It does kill hella time.

If you are a scammer reading this bring it on…I’ve reported plenty at this point and noticed that in all cases accounts are deleted. If you suspect someone is a scam account and want a trained look at it before you do business lemme know. It’s a sport for me at this point.

Now liberating joker cards from any decks I come across to decorate the kitchen at the bar.

Here. Have a banana and watch some scenes from the next Legend of Zelda.

Saying “it would take an act of Congress” as a magnitude of difficulty to accomplish anything has lost any meaning for me.

As far as I am concerned every day is Mother’s Day. Mom’s can get it 24/7. No one in this world is more deserving of a break or any bit of help than moms.

I’m gonna do the cage x wand combo for the first time to see what all the fuss is about. High confidence however. I haven’t been doing much below the tip with a ring either just under that or at base. I never noticed much before hrt, but not a lot going on with me stim-wise that isn’t further south.

Made it to the park on my route where I take a break and reflect. I used to do this on the trail back to Manor. It was far more secluded, but this is serene. I just keep asking myself what is next. I know there is more game board for me. There is no wrong choice. Just action I need to take.

Overheard that a bartender friend got hit by a car. I immediately asked if the car was okay. We appreciate dark humor in this line of work. Sometimes you gotta laugh to keep from crying. And I saw Gonz earlier too, and he looked no worse for the wear. That car must be totaled.

It’s too nice out to not skate home tonight. ✨🛹💨 Lots of out-of-towners in tonight. So many randos, but everyone was cool. Some Aussies. Some vaguely Euro kids. I traded a line cook a bag of tic tac chewy for a burger.
