Reintroducing myself to Bluesky. Last time, there were just a few of us here. This is what I’m up to:
- Growing law firm with my excellent friends/partners.
- Storytelling. Making short films, writing quirky fiction, and making music.
- Curious about the world.
Glad to see you here. 💖💕

I found a new cheese the last days of 2025.
I ate the rest of it for breakfast this new year 2026.
I love it
But that is not my point here.
It’s the philosophy, to keep
what is working for you.
I just wanted to say this now, when I see many people talk about what to give up.

In the "way better than it needs to be" discussion from a few days ago
We’ve opted for a rewatch of an old fashioned film adaptation of a classic British novel.
(If you haven’t actually seen it, it’s a thoroughly enjoyable movie grounded in what feels like a genuine love for Austen and Zombies.)

Another oddity found while unpacking: a 1968 Pogo for President button.
Being 1968, it's a Vietnam-related slogan: "Up the down escalation!"
