My life is pretty great because I have friends all over the world and they're every kind of person and good lord, that makes me the luckiest person on Earth.

It's the real thing, the actual house. They do tours and things.

Is this an attraction based on the actual house or did they turn the house into an attraction?

This is the photo of me that best captures who I am: Smiling in a haunted house, wearing a political tshirt, surrounded by screaming women.

(The women are my mom and @brynna.bsky.social, we were at the Winchester Mystery House’s haunted house, and they’d just dropped the floor out from under us.)

And it is frankly embarrassing for an adult to call strangers “cunts” and then pretend they are misunderstood and persecuted for their beliefs.

That is not the man I remember.

No, it isn’t cam.

What did I say that isn’t true?

Do you post anything of value here or just drive-by insults of people vastly more informed and with more skin in the game than you?

We live here. You live in Australia, you know less about Portland than you do about Narnia.

And it shows.

First time I went to a company wide event after I transitioned, people were warm, happy to see me, everyone wanted to kiss and hug me.
To be standing there and being accepted by my friends and peers, it worth everything.
Also, first mirror pic in the girls restroom 😆

Selfie in the mirror, Luana is white trans woman in her 30s, with long hair, dark lipstick, and wearing a long skirt and a cropped top with a wide cleavage. She wears all black, has a barroco pearl necklace and a black indie designer purse. She is holding a red iphone

This was a few months ago. I had just finished writing my first book, something I had always wanted to do but never been able to before. I celebrated by scheduling a hair appointment and getting the gay undercut and dye job I had always wanted!

I am sorry. Everything sucks right now except dogs.

But I think you are great.

The best part of how Portland is handling this is they’re not only protesting, but also angering the goose steppers by not taking them seriously.

Pretty genius. Because even ICE & the national guard don’t want to be displayed as that asshole fighting people in cute costumes.

Don’t move the chair. Why are the papers on the floor?!
Also, your Red Sonja book kicks all the ass and I’m only 1/3 of the way through!

A few years back my place of employment discovered a local rentable Alpaca. His name is Allen and he has now made appearances at kids holiday parties, company breakfasts and staff town halls. I make it a point to get a picture with him each time. This was our latest last week.

Yesterday. Stapled this printout together for one final check, and then sent my first comic book off to the printer!

CorgiSharks are extremely dangerous, but can be bribed with treats to prevent any real harm.
Also they tire easily and are safe to approach when they are snoozing.

Our cats, Peggy & Jarvis, looking unconscionably cute.

(His original name was Cap, as in Captain America and Peggy Carter. But very quickly we realised he was incredibly whiney, so renamed him Jarvis, after the butler, instead)
