First PNW mugshot 💙

I truly believe the best part about this drastic 180 that I’ve done with my life is getting to see how many people, in all my layered circles, truly love and want to be around me. How lucky I am, to both have this and know that I built it. 🩵

“Bullshitting” is a critical art form these kids today are not mastering due to their excessive use of AI. Some of the smartest, most creative, most inventive ppl were ones who bs’d a 10-page paper (or paper w/ a minimum word limit), B/c bullshitting still involves ACTIVELY using your brain.

My favorite blue Portland Adidas hoodie was lost in the move and I am genuinely devastated 🥲

No one told me about the Real Housewives of Rhode Island!! These girls are my favorite 😭

62 degree weather at 10AM, in July, was exactly why I moved to the PNW

Not getting tired of this view any time soon. 🏔️

Working in the floor of my new office, in my new place, in my new city, on the very first day of my brand new life in the Pacific Northwest. I’ve never been happier. 🥰

The final 575 mile, straight shot to Portland today!

I could spend forever in the Teton backcountry, but Oregon awaits.. 🥰

Wyoming, you have alerted me..

From the Black Hills to the lower Tetons, the call of the wild keeps growing louder the more miles I eat. 🐺

Another ten hours and 700 miles later: Rapid City, South Dakota wake it tf up we’re halfway to Oregon!

… and it was somewhere out in the Great Plains, putting more and more distance between the life that I’d outgrown and the one I’m heading for, that I finally felt free. I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. 🩵

The first 700 mile/9 hour leg of this move solo might have been a taller ask of myself than I initially thought 🫠

Still reeling from watching Rüfüs play under a full strawberry moon, on my last evening in my hometown. I will never, ever forget how special last night was. 🩵

Day 1/5. First stop: 700 miles to Kansas City!

35 hours and Rüfüs Du Sol are all that now stand between me and leaving Alabama for the last time!

A year ago I was at St Pete Pride, at the tail end of a world shattering breakup, a shell of a human being.. and here I am now: packing up the last of my life & things to go start over 2500 miles away from everything I’ve ever known. Maybe it does, in fact, get better.. just not always how we plan🩵

Purging everything you own down to what fits in the car, for the second time in five years, is soooo GD therapeutic

Canceling gym memberships, fully serviced car, packing, and we’re a week away from a completely different life 🫠

Fucking A.. I’m moving across the country in 9 days.. 🫠

💚

Pro advice for family trips: turn any David Attenborough documentary on

It’s gonna be a crazy pivot when I move out to Oregon and turn into a semi off-grid farmer within the next 5 years

Countdown to IRL @settiwap.bsky.social

✌🏼weeks left in the South

As a true, ten- toes down believer.. Disclosure Day is fantastic 🛸

This and yap >>>

Three weeks till Rüfüs and my last day living in the South

One month left to go and I’m staring down the barrel of the biggest decision I’ve made in my entire life

Battleship is a hidden gem because you get aliens AND Rihanna!

💈🩵

Booking overnight stays for my own, personal Oregon Trail summer adventure and NOW shit is starting to get real 🫠 I get to hit: Badlands State Park, Needles Highway, Custer State Park, Devils Tower, Grand Teton State Park, Jackson Hole, Shoshone Falls, ending with the Columbia River Gorge 😍

Disclosure Day tix: ✅🛸

Managed to watch The Testaments finale before seeing spoilers and hooollllyyyy shit 🥲

Which, mid range price, point and shoot camera would you recommend for someone looking to get back in to landscape and portrait photography? 📸

Very solid little 34’ish hour Trampa farewell tour with some of my favorite people 🩵

Bass go burrrrrr

POV: guy who booked a very early flight home tomorrow without looking at how late the DJ comes on tonight. Watch this space 🫠

Greetings, Tampa Bay! ✌🏼

Well, reader.. that was a lie 🫠

No matter what you or don’t believe, we need to start talking about what’s happening in our skies and oceans. We’re being steered toward a larger conversation. 🛸

Still so funny to me that we seem to be in active disclosure that we are not alone in the universe, and it’s not even in the Top 10 of wild things in the news

Six weeks - the grey, brackish water between one life ending, the other not yet begun.

just fyi, this sort of development would make a significant impact on the drought conditions in the American southwest. It would not magically solve the problem (and insanity) of western water rights management and farmers using 100 year outdated irrigation techniques, but it would be significant.

Roomie night out 💛💙

EDCLV looks like so much fun but I am 100% sure that my first time, a decade ago, will be my only time ever trying my luck surviving that 🤣

Revisiting The Legend of Korra and I will NEVER forgive how dirty Nickelodeon did this beautiful show

Thursday is my traditional evening for FaceTiming with out of state friends. @settiwap.bsky.social is a freakin cutie 🥰.
