I am also grateful to be living in this beautiful, vibrant, diverse city where there is no emergency other than the one being constructed by propaganda.

I'm working again. I'm very grateful that both employers are filling my schedule with work. I rewarded myself with cake from Defloured, which has become my favorite bakery in Chicago.

There was a time when all I wanted to do was act, perform. Now, I'm finding joy in real life while I can.

I'm so sorry. I hope you're physically ok.

I got to see a restoration of one of my favorite films at @reelingfilmfest.bsky.social last night. More beautiful, erotic, and enticing than ever. The world James Bidgood created is gay heaven and so inspiring. Hoping for a physical release soon.

For what it's worth, I feel safer, happier, and more whole in Chicago than I ever did in Cleveland.

I can feel Humphrey's soul through this work, remembering what it's like to breathe with him. Thank you so much for this gift, @afurryfriend.bsky.social.
