I haven’t shared much health stuff publicly, but I'm going into surgery 8/6 and will be in recovery for 4-6 weeks. That means I won't be online much and will even miss a couple meetups. BUT I'm launching a monthly OWL Society newsletter so we can K.I.T. 🩷💌🩷 Sign up for OWLS & Pumpkin Day news.

👋 Hi! Thanks so much for doing this. Could we get on 4 & 8 please?

Obscure Weekender Leisure Society @owlsociety.bsky.social · Jul 10

Day 4/7 of #RadicalPositivity, forcing myself to post on a theme to get out of a funk. My theme is the #BatsDay #TikilandDay crossover this past April. This late night #BlueBayou adventure was epic! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 #DisneyDining #Disneyland #PiratesOfTheCaribbean #NewOrleansSquare #Friends

A joyful group of four friends dressed in spooky chic attire are seated around a glowing candlelit table at The Blue Bayou in Disneyland. The ambiance is dark and atmospheric with dramatic lighting. The person in the foreground, taking the selfie, is smiling broadly and wears black velvet with gothic bat mouse ears. The others around the table are also dressed in dark, stylish outfits with dramatic makeup and accessories, including one with a Halloween-themed fascinator. Menus and napkins are visible on the table, and other diners can be seen in the softly lit background.

Thanks for making this pack! Please consider adding us—we’re an inclusive group that meets up at theme parks, cons, & other SoCal nerd hot spots. Founded by a fat, pan, disabled woman (me), everything we do is accessible & LGBTQ+ friendly. Here is a pic of me 10 yrs ago for tax—I made the jackets! 🖖

This photo shows three cosplayers combining characters from the Batman universe with Star Trek: The Next Generation uniforms in a clever mashup:
1. Left – A mashup of The Joker (white face paint, red lips, green hair) with a Starfleet uniform, using the purple and black color scheme to echo Joker’s signature look.
2. Center – A blend of The Riddler (green outfit, question mark on the chest, cane) with a Starfleet uniform. The Riddler’s look is modified to include a Star Trek badge, and the color scheme is fully integrated.
3. Right – A hybrid of Poison Ivy (long red hair, ivy leaves in hair and on pants) with a green-accented Starfleet uniform, maintaining both the botanical theme and Star Trek aesthetic.

They’re standing in front of a Geek & Sundry / Nerdist backdrop, likely at a convention or fan event.

Two women dressed in vintage-inspired, spooky-chic outfits pose together on a theme park street in front of Disneyland’s City Hall. The woman on the left wears a purple dress with a fitted bodice and a print featuring skulls, bones, and jungle leaves. She holds a large black parasol with a bat and thorn design, has curly dark hair styled in a partial updo, and wears black wedge sandals. At her feet is a black backpack with a white skeleton design. The woman on the right wears a red and black dress with an off-the-shoulder neckline, lace sleeves, a pattern of red roses and skulls, and a wide belt. She accessorizes with a red flower in her hair, a red choker, fishnet tights, and black flats. Both are smiling warmly, standing close with their arms around each other.

Day 2/7 practicing #RadicalPositivity by forcing myself to post on a theme: celebrating @batsday.bsky.social and #TikilandDay with our ragtag crew of misfits 🖤 Focusing on this #Disney adventure because #accesssibility at the park is what allows us to have fun together. #Disneyland #GothBabes

Two women dressed in stylish black gothic attire pose together outdoors on a paved path with greenery in the background. The woman on the left wears a long, ruffled black skirt, a lace-sleeved top, a corset belt, and a mini fascinator hat with purple accents. The woman on the right wears black faux-leather leggings, platform boots, layered necklaces, and a black kimono-style shawl with fringe. She has pastel-colored hair in pigtails, black mouse ears with a big bat-shaped bow, heart-shaped sunglasses, and a bright smile. Both outfits feature dramatic accessories, creating a coordinated dark and whimsical look.

A woman poses confidently on a brick walkway outside the Haunted Mansion attraction at Disneyland. She wears a black velvet coat-dress with a full skirt, black tights, and black flats. Her hair is styled up and adorned with black lace Mickey ears. She has dark lipstick, bold eyeliner, and a plaid cuff detail peeking from her sleeves. She leans one arm on a green railing, with the mansion’s ornate white columns and wrought iron balconies behind her. The mood is elegant and gothic with a Disney twist.

Y’all I am in a funk (US amirite 🫠) Forcing myself to practice radical positivity so I’m trying a themed week of posts: Our diverse group of folks enjoying the #accessibility of #Disneyland celebrating @batsday.bsky.social & #tikilandday 🦇🌺

A diverse group of people dressed in festive, villain-inspired and Halloween-themed outfits pose together outside a rustic log cabin structure at Disneyland. Two people in mobility scooters are front and center, one wearing a red rose dress and the other in black with tattoos and a floral basket adorned with pink flamingos. Attendees wear creative headpieces, colorful dresses, and bold accessories including mouse ears, flower crowns, skeleton bags, and pins. The mood is joyful and celebratory, with everyone smiling. Trees and wooden structures surround the group, evoking a frontier theme.

OMG, not all, thank you! We’ve been working hard to cut the Meta cords and set ourselves a goal to fully shut down our accounts by 8/19. (Trying to give folks time to download 8 yrs of pics 🙀). I hope this helps us find our people on Bsky and wayward nerds on Bsky find us 🥰🥰🥰. Thanks again!

go.bsky.app/5JojGow Let’s f🖤cking goooooo! I’m obsessed with Disney days because it’s one of the most accessible places I can go with #MobilityAids. And not just go, but feel welcomed and treated like an actual person and not an afterthought… or worse. Focusing on this bright spot. #accessibility

Queer, disabled joy with my dino-loving crew. RAWR means I love you in Jurassic. 💖 🦖 #AMCCityWalk #JurassicWorld #JurassicWorldRebirth #JurassicPark #Accessible #DisabilityVisibility #DisabledJoy

A diverse group of eleven people poses together in front of the “Jurassic World: Rebirth” sign at Universal CityWalk, lit by vibrant purple and yellow lighting. The group includes queer and disabled individuals, and they are dressed in fun, expressive outfits with a mix of dinosaur-themed, retro, and pride-friendly fashion. One person in front uses a cane and another stands beside a mobility scooter. There are smiles all around, and the group radiates joy and community spirit. The cinema building can be seen in the background to the right.

Attn: #Disney friends. My group @owlsociety.bsky.social hosts this annual ✨unofficial✨ dress up day at #Disneyland. Y’all should join us—we’re fun and inclusive. If you’re a #MagicKey holder, make sure you get your park reservation. #halloweentime #DisneyHalloween

A cheerful group photo taken in front of Disneyland’s Sleeping Beauty Castle shows dozens of smiling people in whimsical Halloween outfits, many in orange and black with pumpkins, bats, and spooky flair. Some wear vintage-inspired dresses, witch hats, mouse ears, or carry themed props like jack-o’-lantern parasols. The scene is framed in festive fall graphics, with pumpkins, flowers, and vines on an orange background. At the top, a ribbon banner reads “Obscure Weekender Leisure Society – Save the Date.” On the right, bold black text says “Sunday September 28, 2025.” Along the bottom: “Main Street Pumpkin Day – Reservations Open Now.”

Screenshot of a social media post sharing a warning about a policy under the Trump administration. It states that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) were directed to send personal data of Medicaid enrollees—including names, addresses, Social Security numbers, and medical history—to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on June 10. The post notes that this includes non-U.S. citizens in California, Illinois, Washington State, and D.C. It raises concerns that the data, originally collected for healthcare purposes, could now be used to locate individuals for immigration enforcement or to deny immigration applications. The post highlights legal and ethical objections by CMS officials, who warned the transfer violates federal privacy laws and longstanding protections but were overruled by senior political appointees.
